Last season, Shandong Taishan won the double runner-up of the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup under the leadership of Cui Kangxi. He also led the team to the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League, defending the dignity of the Chinese Super League team in Asia. After taking over as coach of Taishan, Choi Kang-hee put forward the goal of striving for the top three in the first season and winning the championship next season. This offseason, Shandong Taishan recruited troops in the transfer market, introducing Li Yuanyi, Bi Jinhao, Zeka, Zakaishvili and other domestic and foreign aids, the overall strength and squad depth have been greatly improved, and it has become one of the favorites for the Chinese Super League. But this season, Taishan has lost to Shenhua and Harbour in succession, with a seven-point gap to the top Shenhua.
The issue of equity change of Shandong Taishan Club is difficult, and Taishan players have also been exposed to tax refund problems. Tarzan's morale and morale have been affected to a certain extent. Wang Dalei, Zeka, Li Yuanyi and other main players have been injured, and young players such as Xie Wenneng have been transferred to the National Olympic Games to participate in the U23 Asian Cup. Compared with Shenhua, Haigang and Rongcheng, which are the favorites for the championship, Shandong Taishan's squad depth is problematic. According to the schedule, Shandong Taishan next to clash with the Cangzhou Lions and Chengdu Rongcheng, with 5 foreign aid Cangzhou Lions this season under the training of Zhao Junzhe has made significant progress, the striker Oscar from Africa has become the national football naturalization favorite, and Chengdu Rongcheng this season in South Korea and coach Xu Zhengyuan under the training of the current league ranked second, Chengdu Rongcheng after the large-scale reinforcements The depth and overall strength of the Chengdu Rongcheng squad can completely compete with Shandong Taishan, if the Cangzhou Lions and Chengdu Rongcheng lose points again, Shandong Taishan's championship situation this season will be extremely slim, and Cui Kangxi may not be able to achieve the promise of leading the team to win the league championship in the second year, coupled with the club's share reform work is not going well, but also the team has buried instability, all of which indicates that Cui Kangxi's honeymoon period with Shandong Taishan has ended, and Cui Kangxi is likely to leave the Chinese Super League again in the middle of this season.
Once Cui Kangxi leaves class, who can take over the Taishan team? Judging from the current situation, Taishan is likely to appoint a local coach to serve as the firefighting coach of Shandong Taishan. And the national team coach Li Xiaopeng is likely to have no chance to return to Shandong Taishan to coach. Some domestic self-media broke the news that a well-known football media person surnamed X recommended Zhou Haibin, the head of the Chinese coaching staff of the Taishan team. Zhou Haibin is an international player trained by Luneng Academy, and he also went to overseas leagues to stay abroad in the early years, and after retiring, he transformed into a coach, and served as the head coach of the team in various youth echelons in Shandong Taishan, so he has a better understanding of the team's situation. If Cui Kangxi leaves class, Zhou Haibin is likely to be appointed as the firefighting coach of Shandong Taishan.
But I personally feel that in today's Chinese Super League, Cui Kangxi's coaching ability is beyond doubt. Shandong Taishan's sluggish form this season is related to injuries and instability within the club, and if he is sacked because of the team's unsatisfactory results, Cui Kangxi is not a wise choice for Shandong Taishan FC, and Zhou Haibin currently lacks experience in the first team or the Chinese Super League, he is not the ideal successor to Cui Kangxi. I don't know what you think about the topic that Cui Kangxi's honeymoon period with Shandong Taishan has ended? Will he leave his class in the middle of the season?
