In the Chinese Super League, Choi Kang-hee is known as one of the most successful foreign head coaches. Although Shandong Taishan finished runners-up in both the Chinese Super League and FA Cup last season, Cui Kangxi's coaching record is remarkable. When he took over Taishan, the team had already fallen into the relegation zone, but from the 8th round to the end of the season, Choi Kang-hee only lost 4 games. If it weren't for Hao Wei digging too deep, Taishan was expected to win the Super League championship.
In view of Choi Kang-hee's success in the Chinese Super League, the Chinese Super League teams are keen to bring in South Korean foreign aid next season. It is reported that at least five South Korean managers will appear in the Chinese Super League next season. In order for Taishan to make a difference next season, Choi Kang-hee has successfully brought in two strong players, Zeko and Kaza, from Pohang Steelers and Jeonbuk Hyundai respectively.
However, Choi Kang-hee's reinforcements did not stop. After fruitless negotiations with several South Korean midfielders, he began to look for other options. Eventually, he set his sights on Moon Xuanmin, who had served as a substitute for Son Heung-min in the national team.
The 31-year-old began his career in the Europa League. He made his debut in the Swiss Premier League with Östersund and played for Jurgarden, where he was the team's main winger for a long time. In the 2019 season, Moon Xuanmin transferred to Jeonbuk Hyundai. He scored 10 goals and provided 10 assists in 32 K-League games, becoming the league's assist leader. To date, he has scored 24 goals and provided 16 assists for Jeonbuk Hyundai. As a versatile midfielder, Moon can not only play the position of left and right winger, but also play multiple positions such as forward midfielder, back midfielder, shadow striker and center forward. This flexibility is perfect for the Shandong Taishan team, which is currently in poor form.
It is reported that Wen Xuanmin's worth is only 650,000 euros, which is not a problem for Taishan. The key is to be able to integrate into the team quickly and make a difference. When Taishan has five foreign aids, Cui Kangxi is expected to achieve good results in the Chinese Super League, FA Cup and AFC Champions League.
Cui Kangxi's successful introduction of aid to attack Wang Wen Xuanmin will bring more strength to the Shandong Taishan team. His arrival will further enhance the performance of the Tarzan midfield. And now, the Taishan team is in desperate need of a fast horse on the wing, and the arrival of Wen Xuanmin is undoubtedly the best choice to meet this demand.
Choi Kang-hee's coaching performance in the Chinese Super League has proven his ability, and the introduction of Son Heung-min's substitute Wen Xuanmin has given them the confidence to challenge for the Super League title. I hope that next season, the Taishan team can create a more brilliant record under the leadership of Cui Kangxi and bring more joy to the fans!
