On March 23, the Taishan team returned to the latest progress. The reporter learned that Belgian foreign aid Fellaini arrived in Shanghai on the 23rd, and will be quarantined according to the requirements. The itinerary of South Korean foreign aid Sun Junhao has also been determined, and he will depart from South Korea to Qingdao on the 24th, and then quarantine. Under normal circumstances, Fellaini and Sun Junhao will officially return to the team for training in mid-April, which is good news for the Taishan team.
After the final of the FA Cup, the Taishan team entered the holiday, and foreign aid also left China to return to China to accompany their families. Fellaini has repeatedly posted the dynamics of playing with his girlfriend on social networks, and Sun Junhao also often updates the moments of life with his family. As the main foreign aid of the Taishan team, Fellaini and Sun Zhunhao are both heroes of the Taishan team to win the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup, and both of them also have a long contract with the Taishan team.
Fellaini has previously completed a contract extension with Taishan, his contract expires in December 2025, Sun Junhao also completed a contract renewal with Taishan in early 2022, and his new contract expires in December 2026. Both core foreign players have long-term contracts, which is good news for the stability of the Tarzan lineup. Now, Fellaini and Sun Zhunhao have returned to China to officially start the preparation for the new season.
It is reported that Fellaini flew from the Netherlands to Shanghai and then quarantined according to the requirements. Sun Junhao is expected to fly from South Korea to Qingdao on the 24th, and then quarantine as required. After all the quarantine procedures are completed, Fellaini and Sun Zhunhao can return to the team to participate in training, according to the 14+7 isolation requirements, the two ideally return to the team in mid-April, and they should have about a week of joint training time before the start of the league.
In terms of other foreign aid, Jia Desong has arrived in Guangzhou for quarantine, and he expects to return to the team for training in early April. Delgado's formalities are still in progress, Moises' contract will expire in July, but he is still a member of the Tarzan team, and the Tarzan team will keep in touch with him at any time to arrange for him to return to the team, even if it is only 3 months, Moises may still play for the Tarzan team. Of course, everything depends on the personnel adjustment of the Taishan team.
It should also be noted that naturalized player Delgado registered as a local player last season, but could only sign up for the league as a foreign aid. In fact, Delgado has the conditions to play for the national football team in the future, and he also showed his strength in the 2021 season. If according to last season's naturalization policy, Delgado can only register as a foreign aid, but considering the change in the naturalization policy, delgado originally did not have the possibility of playing for the national football team, and now he is a potential future international, so whether the Football Association can have a certain change in policy is also a key point. Born in 1997, Delgado still has good potential, under normal circumstances, he has the conditions to play for the national football team in 2024, but in 2022 and 2023, how can he have more playing time, which will be very important for his growth.
In addition, the latest news shows that the new season of the Chinese Super League may be opened in the form of a tournament system, and the follow-up will restart the home and away games according to the situation. At present, the specific division arrangement and schedule arrangement have not yet been clearly answered.
