After 15 years of waiting, Shandong Taishan (formerly Shandong Luneng) team finally won the Chinese Super League double again last season. It can be said that the overall strength of the Taishan team has reached a new peak.
However, the Recent Period of Tarzan has not been particularly smooth, in order to meet the challenge of the new season of the third line at the same time, Tarzan Club has been looking for new signings for the team's front line.
Although there have been no less than 5 foreign forwards with the Tarzan team recently, for various reasons, they have not been able to officially sign any of them so far.
Just when the team's forward line is difficult to find, Taishan Club has ushered in another bad news. Recently, according to a well-known domestic footballer, Taishan's midfielder Sun Junhao, a midfielder of the Taishan team, may join a Premier League team next season.
According to the footballer, in order to further improve the strength of the South Korean national team, the Korean Football Association recommended Son Joon-ho to a Premier League team, and the Premier League team has contacted Sun Junhao's agent and communicated about his transfer.
Joining the Premier League, the top of Europe's top five leagues, is the ultimate dream of many professional players, and so are South Korean players. South Korean striker Son Heung-min, who has been in the Premier League, has now become the second most powerful striker in Tottenham Hotspur after Harry Kane.
And South Korean defender Kim Hyun-jae, who once played for Beijing Guoan, was once infinitely close to joining Tottenham. Although, in the end, he did not succeed, Kim Joined Turkish Super League side Fenerbahce last season, and the 25-year-old South Korean international hopes to use the Turkish Super League as a springboard to prepare for his future entry into the Premier League.
The situation of Sun Junhao is quite similar to that of Kim Hyun-jae, who also plays for the chinese Super League giants and is also promising to join the Premier League. The only difference is that last year Kim Hyun-jae's willingness to leave the Chinese Super League was very strong, and he had several stalemates with the Guoan club. Sun Zhunhao is very loyal to the Shandong Taishan team, and has not expressed any intention of leaving the team before.
Despite this, the pressure on Sun Junhao is still very large, and these pressures mainly come from the Korean Football Association and Korean fans.
You know, South Korean fans have high requirements for their international footballers, they are not satisfied with the active internationals of the national team playing in the "low-level" league in Asia such as the Chinese Super League, and these Korean fans prefer that all their international footballers can play in the high-level five major leagues in Europe.
It is easy to understand this idea among Korean fans, and fans in other countries will have similar ideas, including Chinese fans.
Therefore, at present, the call for "Sun Junhao joined the Premier League" on South Korean social media is very high, and many South Korean fans have called on Sun Junhao to play in the Premier League as soon as possible after playing the round of 12 on behalf of the national team.
And if Sun Junhao chooses to stay in Shandong Taishan, he will inevitably be attacked by some extreme Korean fans on the Internet. Nowadays, the information on the Internet is spreading so fast, I believe that the pressure on Sun Zhunhao will definitely become very great.
So now Taishan Club must be prepared with both hands, on the one hand, to keep Sun Zhunhao at all costs, so that he can stay in Shandong to play football; on the other hand, they must also actively look for new signings in the midfield, so that once Sun Zhunhao leaves the team, they can find new people to replace him in time.
As for what actions the Taishan Club will take to properly solve Sun Junhao's problems, let's wait and see...
