Looking back at the "double champion" history of the Taishan team this season, Jia Desong, who joined the team in the summer transfer window, undoubtedly has to remember a great achievement. In the Chinese Super League championship competition, he scored consecutive key goals against Beijing Guoan and Shanghai Haigang. In the FINAL OF THE FA CUP, Jia Desong was even more determined to let The Taishan team lock in the "double crown".
From the controversy at the beginning of the franchise to the praise he has received as a champion today, Judson, who joined Taishan on loan for only 169,000 euros, is a good story in the team's history.
Defensive Iron Gate "Fake Pine"
On 27 July 2021, Shandong Taishan Club announced that Brazilian player Jadson has joined Taishan on loan after reaching an agreement with Portuguese Portimão Football Club. At the beginning of the 2021 season, the player briefly joined the Chinese League One team Wuhan Sanzhen and did not get too many opportunities to play. Players who could not play the main players in the secondary league joined clubs aiming to compete for the top league championship. For a time, the arrival of Judsson caused a lot of controversy.
Objectively speaking, Jia Desong's performance in Wuhan is not a success. In his limited playing time, his performance did not live up to the expectations of the team. In addition, the Chinese First Division only allows up to two foreign aides to play at the same time, and the three towns of Wuhan are determined to rush to the top, and the pursuit of offensive power makes Jia Desong have few opportunities. During the summer transfer period, the team signed another foreign striker, Mal kang, which deepened Jia Desong's dilemma in Wuhan.
Of course, Judsson is not without strength. During his time at Portimão, except for the 2017/2018 season, there were few opportunities due to injury, and in the rest of the season, Judsson was the main player of the team. While contributing to a stable defensive play, he also has the attribute of a knife guard, scoring goals for the team many times. The reason why the three towns of Wuhan introduced Jia Desong is naturally also to see his characteristics of both attack and defense.
Unfortunately, due to the team's tactical playing style and practical needs, Jia Desong did not show his strength in the three towns of Wuhan. But after joining the Taishan team, Jia Desong was reborn. Facing the Dragon Gate of Henan Songshan in the debut, Jia Desong and Zheng Zheng had a tacit understanding and kept a clean sheet. Such an excellent performance, fans also laughed, "This Judsson is actually a 'fake pine'." ”
Guard with knife "Really in"
Debuting on behalf of the Taishan team, Jia Desong showed great strength. Statistically, he contributed 2 times to the game and 4 interceptions. In terms of details, when the situation is anxious, his one-blade ball destruction is crucial. In the first stage of the Chinese Super League, Judson started all the matches after joining the team, contributed a stable defensive performance, and helped the team to successfully qualify for the Chinese Super League championship group as the top place in the league. With such a performance, the always picky Taishan fans were quickly conquered, and some people said that Jia Desong was not only a "fake pine", but also a "real advance".
From the technical characteristics, Jia Desong has excellent physical fitness, excellent defensive prediction ability, frontal and sideways interception ability is outstanding, and can form a different style of echo with Zheng Zheng and Shi Ke. Admittedly, in defense, Judsson also has weaknesses. But in this season's game, the Taishan team's defensive system does not rely on the individual defensive play of the players, but on the cooperation between each player and the replacement of each other, so that Jia Desong can not only be magnified in the Taishan team, but also the shortcomings can be reduced.
Furthermore, at the beginning of the season, Jia Desong's poor performance in wuhan's three towns also has a certain relationship with the team's defensive system. This season's Chinese League One, Wuhan Sanzhen only conceded 22 goals, which is an excellent enough report card. But the actual situation is that at the beginning of the season, although the team's defense is full of masters, it has not been able to form a reasonable system, the respective responsibilities and division of labor of the defensive players are not clear, and the team has once conceded seven consecutive games, until the middle of the season, Pedro became the new coach of the team, through the system transformation of the three center-backs, solved the problem of compatibility between the players, and the team's defense was on the right track. It is precisely for this reason that at the beginning of the season, Juddson carried the name of "parallel goods", which was really wronged.
After quickly integrating into the Taishan team's defensive system, Juddson not only successfully completed his duties on the defensive end, but also performed well on the offensive end. In the regular season stage, facing Guangzhou City, Jia Desong scored his debut goal to join the team, but his real "shenfeng road" still began with the Chinese Super League championship group schedule. In the second round against Beijing Guoan, it was his package goal that helped the team to kill the game. In the second round against Shanghai Harbor, it was Judsson's header that broke the deadlock for the team. The FA Cup final naturally needless to say, as a central defender player, in the face of Yan Junling's ball, Jia Desong did not have any adjustments, and directly faced the ball to play a very difficult world wave. Judging from the way he scored, Judsson's three goals were different, showing a full range of attacking methods. From the perspective of goal efficiency, after the start of the championship group schedule, Judsson scored three goals in five games, which can be regarded as an "efficient goalscorer". Because of this, at this time, Jia Desong has a new nickname: "really enter".
Good value for money "Really good value"
At the beginning of joining the team, few people would have imagined that Judsson would be such a successful signing. Half a year later, Jia Desong has become a big contributor to the Taishan team's Super League and FA Cup doubles, which is inevitably an overly crazy story.
Perhaps, we still remember that at the beginning of the season, the Taishan team's forward line was not efficient, and the call for the introduction of forwards was also higher than a wave. At this time, the team brought in a defender, is this a pragmatic move? As the head coach of the team, the introduction of Jia Desong, Hao Wei naturally has his own unique considerations.
At the beginning of this season, in the center-back combination, Taishan has been the partner of Zheng Zheng and Shi Ke. However, with the deepening of the season, under the intensive schedule, relying only on the attendance of these two people, not only the physical fitness and state of the players are difficult to form a guarantee, but there are even no small injury hidden dangers. It is precisely for this reason that the introduction of Judson as a central defender and the rotation of the three players are a more secure way for the Taishan team to fight for the championship.
The introduction of Jia Desong is also a targeted supplement brought by the Tactical Needs of the Taishan Team. Analyzing the reasons for this, there are roughly three: First, Jia Desong's defense is considered to be "stable, accurate and fierce", which can form a good echo with Zheng Zheng and Shi Ke and improve the team's defensive level. Second, Jia Desong has a good ability to play the ball, but also has a positive sense of forward, can further strengthen the Taishan team offensive and defensive tandem. Third, Judsson also has a good sense of grabbing points and shooting ability at the offensive end, and his joining has made the Taishan team's "high-altitude bombing squad" more powerful.
Compared with the efficient and stable performance on the court, Judsson's value is more affordable. According to the German transfer network, Judsson's current value is only 500,000 euros, the highest period, but only 1 million euros, while The Cost of Tarzan's loan from Portimão is 169,000 euros. Compared with the big-name foreign aid who once paid tens of millions of transfer fees, Juddson has a very high cost performance.
The curtain has fallen on Jinyuan Football, and at present and in the future, the investment reduction of the Chinese Super League teams has been irreversible. In the future, can the quality of foreign aid in the Chinese Super League still be guaranteed? Can "spending a small amount of money" still "do big things"? In the FA Cup final, when Judsson excitedly pointed his hands to the sky after scoring, unconsciously, he may have brought new enlightenment to the Chinese Super League teams.
