As the winter transfer window opened and went, teams began to make personnel changes, clear out unplanned players, and bring in new signings. For Shandong Taishan, a Chinese Super League powerhouse with the support of Luneng Football School and local players, shandong Taishan, the team needs to do a good job of "subtraction".
Recently, the three towns in Wuhan poached the young general Li Mingpan from Taishan, Shandong. Lee Ming-man was born in 2002 and previously honed at Luneng Football School. The player was born in Dongying, Shandong, but represented Fujian in the National Games. Two days before his transfer to the three towns of Wuhan, Li Mingpan had just been promoted to the Shandong Taishan reserve team, which was equivalent to leaving as soon as he graduated. According to the database information, Li Mingpan left the team for freedom this time and did not leave a transfer fee for the Taishan team.
Joining the three towns of Wuhan has advantages and disadvantages for Li Mingpan. Shandong Taishan has too many young players in the squad, and it is difficult to be among the first team and even get the opportunity to play in the Chinese Super League, while it is easier to go to wuhan three towns that have debuted in the top league. But unfortunately, the players left a "champion division" and left a larger, higher-level platform. Lee Ming-bian mainly plays at the back. Players in this position are relatively easy to "mix heads" in the Chinese Super League, Wu Xi, Chi Zhongguo, Cai Huikang and so on are representatives. Therefore, there should be many opportunities for Li Mingpan in the future.
Compared with Li Mingpan, Chen Zhechao's popularity is much greater. Chen Zhechao was born in 1995 and has been selected for various age groups, and at the beginning of the 2016 season, he joined Shandong Taishan after staying in Portugal. However, players have never been able to join the main squad after joining the team, but have always hovered between the first team and the reserve team. During his time with Shandong Taishan, the player played only 17 Chinese Super League games and 6 FA Cup games, adding up to less than 500 minutes. At the end of last season, Chen Zhechao chose to leave the team and went to the Hakka of Mameizhou for promotion, which was recognized by the other side. Subsequently, Chen Zhechao joined in freely.
The main reason for Chen Zhechao's departure should be that there is no chance. He will turn 27 in the 2022 season, and if he continues to sit on the bench, it means that there is basically no room for career development. After Chen Zhechao left, Shandong Taishan lost an important substitute at the back and full-back position, but also gave other players, especially young players, the opportunity to exercise.
The young general Li Mingpan is gone, and the Mesozoic Chen Zhechao is also gone, but this should be just the beginning. It is expected that Shandong Taishan will purge a large number of players during this winter transfer period, especially after many years of substitutes or graduating from football school but have little potential to enter the first team. In fact, not only Shandong Taishan, it is estimated that many Chinese Super League teams should start redundant purges, including Shanghai Harbor, Shanghai Shenhua, Beijing Guoan and so on. According to the rules issued by the Chinese Football Association, this year's Chinese Super League and Chinese League A teams have no internal invocation limits, and in the case of the overall depression of the environment and the general reluctance of teams to increase investment, these relatively cheap marginal players should be more popular.
I don't know which players will leave in shandong Taishan's squad next.
