Beijing time on April 12 news, Shandong Taishan team elite team has arrived in Thailand, preparing for the AFC Champions League group stage that began on the 15th. The elite teams of the Taishan team in the AFC Champions League are all players born after 2000, some of them have the experience of national brand, and the AFC Champions League is also an opportunity for them to exercise and improve themselves. At the same time, some of the post-00 players from Luneng Football School will transfer and leave, which is also a normal phenomenon, and the Taishan team also hopes that more players can get the opportunity to play in the professional arena.
First look at the list of Taishan's team to participate in the AFC Champions League, 6 of the original 29-man list did not go out with the team, namely Sun Qihang, Fang Hao, Ji Shengpan, Jia Feifan, Mai Wulang and Liu Junshuai, of which Liu Junshuai is a player of the first team, and he stayed in the first team to continue training. Fang Hao is still training in the U23 national football team and cannot be distracted by the AFC Champions League. Sun Qihang has also entered the first team list, and the new season is also expected to enter the first team lineup, Ji Shengpan played well on loan last season at Beiti University, Jia Feifan and Mai Wulang are both national players.
Among the 23 players who participated in the AFC Champions League, 3 players born in 2000, 4 players in 2001, 1 player in 2002, 6 players in 2003, 9 players in 2004, it can be said that this is a young team with an average age of less than 20 years old, most of the players have no professional league experience, the AFC Champions League group stage, is likely to be their professional league debut. For them, it is indeed an opportunity to exercise, but it is also a challenge, especially when facing Japanese and Korean teams, they have to face a lot of pressure.
Perhaps, many fans have also found a phenomenon, that is, why there were so few players from 2000 to 2002, there are 3 factors. First, some players of this age group train in the national brand or stay in the first team, such as Fang Hao, Abdul Meat Suli and Tian Yuda and others; second, some players have left the Taishan team, such as Shi Yan, Zhang Xingliang joined Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, Abdul Reheman joined Wuhan Sanzhen; third, some players left the team on loan, such as Xie Wenneng, Wu Xingyu and others.
In fact, the taishan team has a large number of echelon players, but there are not many players who can really enter the taishan team first team from the echelon, if there are 3 or 5 players in an age group echelon entering the first team and getting the opportunity, this is already a very ideal situation. In such a situation, the Taishan team will choose the right players in the echelon of each age group to stay in the team, participate in the U21 League or enter the first team, and the remaining players will be "diverted", that is, they can choose their own new owners, which also has the situation that many post-00 players leave the team at this stage. Of course, for the departure of young players, there should normally be methods such as buyback clauses, which can also protect the interests of the club and give young players more opportunities for independent choice.
Of course, for the Taishan team, the echelon player reserves are sufficient, and the key is to see whether the young people can seize the opportunity. In the new season, there will be more young faces in the Taishan first team, and they will also have to compete for playing time. At the same time, the Taishan team has also received good results in renting players out of the team in recent seasons, in fact, for young players aged 18 to 20, more game opportunities are the key.
