The news came out last night, and early this morning the official announcement was that Shandong Taishan sent the main center Guo Tianyu Liuyang's operation a bit of a thunderbolt, and even Shandong fans were a little caught off guard. However, among the many comments, almost all of them are blessings for Xiao Guo and praising the pattern of the Taishan team. In fact, as the defending champions of the new League Cup and the task of the AFC Champions League, The Taishan team let go of their main center at this critical moment, which is still impressive.
After the end of the Golden Dollar football in the Chinese Super League, Shandong Taishan has once again become the king of the Chinese professional league with stable operation and huge bench depth, and the only thing that can compete with them is the Shanghai Seaport led by Oscar, but the latter also has a fatal flaw, that is, in the case of the departure of Hulk and Arnautovic and the reimbursement of Ricardo Lopez's season, there are only a few young local fronts left on the front line of the harbor, which is also the most important reason for their repeated loss of points at key moments and the final failure of the championship. Although Shandong Taishan is also the leader of the domestic front, the foreign aid Fellaini's three-line all-round strength is outstanding, and Guo Tianyu's growth is very rapid, so it is reasonable to be higher in comprehensive strength.
However, if the new season Harbor introduces a strong foreign aid striker, the two sides will return to the same running line, in this case, Xu Xin was poached and Guo Tianyu's departure, which made the strength of both sides have a tendency to trade between them. Obviously, sending Guo Tianyu to Stay in Yang at this time is also a very difficult choice for Taishan in Shandong, but in this matter, they did not hesitate in the slightest. It was just that in the way it was sent out, it chose to rent rather than transfer permanently. This is actually because the Tarzan team was really scared before.
But then again, the reason why the Taishan team dared to send Guo Tianyu out was also because it was full of confidence. The source of this confidence is the team's huge youth training system. Last season, Shandong Taishan's many young players on loan (after 1997) performed well, combining to cut a stunning statistic of 57 goals and 21 assists. Among them, the post-00 players scored 46 goals. Shi Yan and Fang Hao of the Chinese Super League, Tian Yuda of the Chinese First Division, Yi Xianlong and Xie Wenneng, Lu Yongtao and Wu Xingyu of the Chinese Second Division are all impressive. In other words, even if Guo Tianyu leaves, the position he left behind will be robbed by other Taishan young people, and who can become the new strongest U23 in the new season is enough to make Taishan coach Hao Wei scratch his head.
Among them, in the center position alone, Hao Wei has Two big generals, Tian Yuda and Lu Yongtao, to choose from. Born in 2001, Tian Yuda is 1.91 meters tall, and his physical fitness is inseparable from Guo Tianyu, and it is worth mentioning that he also has excellent foot skills, and even has a long-range shot, which is a typical modern center. Last season, at Beijing Beiti University, Tian Yuda started 17 of 25 games in the Chinese League A, scored 5 goals and delivered 1 assist, and was the team's main rotation player.
Lu Yongtao, who plays for Qingdao Youth Island, was the captain of the Luneng Youth Training 2000 age group and scored 8 goals in 28 appearances in the Chinese Second League last season, and is one of the heroes of Qingchun Island's promotion to the Middle League. He is 1.86 meters tall, and in the case of a certain air superiority, he also has a good speed and strong human ball combination ability, can make a fatal blow in the penalty area, and can also pull to the side to send comfortable passes for teammates, which belongs to the all-rounder of the front. In the new season, these two youngsters are likely to surprise Taishan fans.
In addition, Ji Shengpan, who also played for Northern Sports University last season, also had high hopes, scoring 7 goals and giving 2 assists in 34 games in the Chinese League A, and is the team's offensive core and first scorer. At the same age as Guo Tianyu, he can play as a full-back and winger, fast, skilled and creative. Xie Wenneng, born in 2002, played in the Chinese Second League and the FA Cup last season for the U20 national football team and Qingdao Manatee, scoring a total of 11 goals and sending 2 assists, the performance is also very eye-catching. As early as the 2020 season, Xie Wenneng was the hero of Zibo Keju Chong Jia.
Therefore, the huge youth training system and the endless stream of young talents are where Shandong Taishan let Go Ofa go. And Shandong fans are most concerned about who can become the second Guo Tianyu in the new season.
