Although the reinforcement work for the new season is still quietly underway, the Taishan fans have not found any clues if they want to break their heads. But one player has already decided to appear in the taishan team's first-team lineup in the new season, he is Chen Pu, who joined Henan Songshan Longmen on loan last season. The 25-year-old Luneng youth training genius has finally truly become a member of the Taishan team.
In the fourth round of the 2020 Chinese Super League, Guo Tianyu scored the only goal of the game to help Shandong Luneng defeat Guangzhou Evergrande, the eighth champion of the Chinese Super League. In the 9th round of that season, Chen Pu sent a killer to help Shijiazhuang Yongchang defeat the same provincial opponent Hebei Huaxia Happiness. It is worth mentioning that this is the debut goal of Luneng youth training 99 and 97 age group players in the Chinese Super League.
However, unlike Guo Tianyu, who has become an absolute main player in the Taishan team and successfully loaned Liuyang this year, Chen Pu, who is two years older than him, does not have such good luck. Having stayed in Brazil and returned to Luneng in the summer of 2019, he has so far played only one game in the Chinese Super League as a substitute for the team. In the previous two seasons, he could not find opportunities in the team, and he was loaned to Shijiazhuang Yongchang and Henan Songshan Longmen respectively. Because in the Taishan team, there are already Wu Xinghan, Liu Binbin and Jin Jingdao and other position masters, the young Chen Pu is still almost hot compared with these international players. Of course, the loan rather than the permanent transfer also shows that the Taishan team still has high hopes for the youth talent.
In the 2020 season, Chen Pu scored 2 goals and provided 1 assist for Shijiazhuang Yongchang in 13 Chinese Super League games. Last season, although Chen Pu was no longer a U23-age player, he took it to a higher level in Henan Songshan Longmen, accumulating 2 goals and 4 assists in 24 games in all competitions, including 2 goals and 3 assists in 20 games in the Chinese Super League, making a great contribution to Henan's second place in the relegation group. Henan benefited greatly from his outstanding technique, passing and creativity.
Children without umbrellas must run hard, and Chen Pu cherishes the hard-won opportunities to play. In henan team, he has played as a forward, full-back, and even served as a full-back when the team needs it, no matter which position, he is conscientious, showing a good professional attitude, and has won the recognition of Henan fans. In fact, during the second transfer last season, Taishan coach Hao Wei intended to let Chen Pu end his loan early and return to the team, but Chen Pu considered that Henan was facing relegation, or chose to stay and help the team complete the relegation task, for this reason, he lost the great opportunity to win the double championship with Taishan. But this kind of profound and righteous approach just makes people see the precious qualities of this young man.
For Chen Pu's personal ability, Taishan coach Hao Wei naturally understands it, and when he served as the national Olympic coach in the line of fire to lead the team to the U23 Asian Cup in early 2019, Chen Pu was recruited by him and had a good performance, and his shot was the closest to the national Olympic team to score in that tournament. Today, Wu Xinghan is still recovering, taishan team left wing forward position only Liu Binbin a legitimate candidate, Chen Pu's return, for strengthening the left wing position depth of great benefits, under the mentor Hao Wei, Chen Pu may really usher in the taishan team debut day.
However, the returning Chen Pu also faces a spell, that is, the youth players who were loaned out by the Taishan team, even if they have a very good performance outside, it is difficult to return to the Taishan team to stand firm, the Mai Tijiang of that year, Yao Junsheng of the previous years, Chen Kerui, Chen Zhechao and other people are so, the only exception of Guo Tianyu, but also catch up with the Pellet departure team Taishan team no center available. Therefore, Chen Pu still needs a lot of efforts to usher in the real spring blossoms.
