On the afternoon of December 15, the second stage of the 2021 Chinese Super League relegation group match was another round, Henan Songshan Longmen drew 1-1 with Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, and two Taishan team loan players grabbed enough attention. Chen Pu's corner assisted Kalanga to open the record for Henan, and Shi Yan, who came off the bench at a critical moment, broke through the point and made a great contribution to the Jinmen Tigers' equalization score.
In the last round, Henan Songshan Longmen lost 0-1 to Dalian renren and suffered the first defeat in the relegation group, while Jinmen Hu shook hands with Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic 1-1. So in this round of matches, both sides are eager to get 3 points, and 4 foreign players are sent to the starting lineup. In today's Chinese Super League, it is rare for a team with such a configuration.
In the first half, the two teams attacked and defended each other, Henan Songshan Longmen slightly dominant, their close pressing made Jinmen Tiger very uncomfortable, but both sides failed to complete the goal. It wasn't until the 66th minute of the second half that the deadlock was broken, with Chen Pu firing a corner kick and Kalanga's header to help Henan take a 1-0 lead.
The jinmen tiger who conceded the goal was dispatched, Shi Yan and Xie Weijun, two young players, both appeared, this adjustment effect was good, in the 89th minute, Shi Yan held the ball into the penalty area and was put down, the referee awarded a penalty, Magno was saved by Wang Guoming and the header was saved to break the goal, successfully equalizing the score. Henan Songshan Dragon Gate still had a chance to counter the score before the finale, but Toure's point was finally cancelled after the referee watched the VAR.
In this campaign, Chen Pu played a full game and provided 1 assist, in addition to sending a key pass, 2 successful crosses, 3 fouls against the opponent, and the performance was very active. In 14 Games of the Chinese Super League this season, Chen Pu has scored 2 goals and 3 assists, and is an indispensable person on the offensive end of Henan. Compared with Chen Pu, the big brother, Shi Yan performed slightly, but also had 2 goals in 8 games, considering his 19-year-old age, this performance is actually quite surprising.
In fact, in these two teams, there are not only two Taishan players, Chen Pu and Shi Yan. Ma Xingyu and Chen Hao of The Dragon Gate of Songshan Mountain in Henan, and Chen Kerui, Kadar and Li Songyi in the Jinmen Tiger Formation are also from the Taishan team. In addition, in other Chinese Super League, Chinese First Division and even Chinese Second Division teams, a large number of Taishan players are also active. This is the real blossoming and fruiting.
Since the establishment of Luneng Football School in 1999, the Taishan team has been deeply cultivating youth training for more than 20 years, regardless of the highs and lows of Chinese football, their investment in youth training is very stable, and they have also cultivated a large number of materials that can be made. Today, they are the only team in the Chinese football third-tier professional league that can send a full youth starting 11-man team, and the sufficient reserve strength also allows them to cope with the devil's schedule in the Chinese Super League.
Of course, because there are too many youth training players, only a few lucky people can really join the Taishan first team, so the Taishan team has also opened up a new way to train players in recent years, that is, loan, after all, whether it is the Chinese Super League, the Chinese First Division or the Chinese Second Division, the player's appearance is the most important. Premier League giants Chelsea is jokingly called "Premier League taxi" because of a large number of loan players, and now, Shandong Taishan is like a taxi in the Chinese Super League. However, the more such teams, the more promising Chinese football will be.
