This season, Shandong Taishan won the third Chinese Super League double in the club's history, and the excellent coaching ability of the new coach Hao Wei and the excellent performance of several new signings have played a crucial role.
But at the same time, we must also "not forget to dig wells when drafting water." You know, Shandong team has been in the position of the first group of the league for many seasons, thanks to a large part of the German coach Magath laid a good foundation for the team.
In the 2016 season, Shandong Luneng, which was in a turbulent period, invited the world famous coach Magat in the middle of the league, and this season Magat led Shandong team to successful relegation.
In the following 2017 season, Magat not only created a tactical system that is very suitable for the team for Shandong Luneng, but also cultivated many potential newcomers for the Shandong team, and the young defender Li Songyi is one of them.
As a quality player produced by Luneng Football School, Li Songyi is one of the most promising players in the 93-year-old team. In the 2012 season, at the age of 19, Li Songyi, Liu Binbin, Wu Xinghan and a number of teammates of the Luneng youth team entered the Shandong first team.
However, due to various reasons, Li Songyi was unable to gain a foothold in the Luneng team, and it was not until magath joined Shandong in the 2016 season that the 23-year-old Li Songyi was reused by the German manager.
As a centre-back player, Lee Song-yi's playing style is fierce, and his interception and card slot abilities are quite outstanding. However, due to his inability to prove himself in the team, Li Songyi was questioned by many Shandong fans, believing that his ability was not worthy to play the main force of the team.
But Magat does not see it that way, under his careful guidance, Li Songyi's ability has been effectively improved, and he has also become the absolute main force in the Luneng team's defender line in the 2016 and 2017 seasons.
However, the good times did not last long, and after Magat left the team, Lee Soon lost his main position in the team again.
In order to get enough playing time, Li Songyi has joined two Chinese Super League teams in the form of guangzhou city and tianjin jinmen tigers on loan in the form of loan in the past two seasons.
Although guangzhou city also failed to become the absolute main force in the team, Li Songyi became the team's main center-back in Jinmen Tiger last season.
Lee Song-yi, who was reused by coach Yu Genwei, played a total of 18 games for the team last season, becoming the absolute core of the team's backline.
In the final stage of the Chinese Super League, in the key relegation battle between Tianjin and Chongqing, Li Songyi rushed into the penalty area of Chongqing at the last moment of the game, received Zhou Tong's cross, scored a winning goal, helped Jinmen Tigers kill Chongqing, and helped the team win the key 3 points in the relegation battle.
It can be said that Li Songyi has re-proved himself with his outstanding performance in Tianjin last season. Now, Li Songyi's loan period at Tianjin has expired, and he will return to Shandong Taishan next season.
For Taishan, next season they will play in the Chinese Super League, FA Cup and AFC Champions League, and the team's various lines need to be reinforced. The return of Li Songyi can strengthen the back line of the Taishan team to a certain extent.
Li Songyi, born in 1993, is now about to turn 29 years old, which is the golden age of a defender player in his career. Gaining a wealth of experience in the Chinese Super League last season can fully help Li Songyi gain a firm foothold in the team.
It should be known that Li Songyi's teammates in the Luneng youth team at that time, Liu Binbin and Wu Xinghan, have now become the main players of the Taishan team and have been selected for the national team many times.
And Li Songyi also has fully this ability to prove himself in the team. Therefore, we would also like to wish Li Songyi that he can successfully stay in the team next season and enter the main rotation lineup of the team, and represent Taishan in the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League as soon as possible.
