Today we are going to talk about the topic that makes the Chinese Super League lively, the transfer market dynamics of Shandong Luneng. Let's first talk about head coach Choi Kang-hee's recruitment strategy. You know, Cui Kang-hee, this old man, his method of recruiting is like playing magic, which is hard to guess. Last season, for example, he had to poach a little-known Golden Boot Pato from the Indonesian league. This made many fans and media think this is a joke, after all, the influence of the Indonesian league in Asian football is minimal. However, Mr. Cui is so willful, and the result can be imagined, Pato's performance in the Chinese Super League is simply a tragedy. Every game he seems to be in close contact with football practice, but unfortunately the goal doesn't seem to fit well with him. That season, his performance was like an empty joy.
Let's take a look at Cui Kangxi's new favorite, Ruan Jun. This young man was a little famous in the Dongguan team last season, especially his assists and goals on the field, which are like the highlights of the Chinese League. However, when Ruan Jun came to Luneng, it was like jumping into the sea from a small river. After all, killing all sides in the Chinese Super League and gaining a foothold in the Chinese Super League are two different things. He often seemed a little weak on the field, as if he was playing hide-and-seek with the opposing defence, but he was always found. Moreover, the new signing has never played in the Chinese Super League, and it seems that it will take some time for him to get used to the rhythm and intensity of the Chinese Super League.
Fans are more willing to see Duan Liuyu's figure. Duan Liuyu is a player who can be said to be Luneng's own treasure, he not only has a brilliant performance in the Chinese Super League, but also a rare player in the National Olympic team. Compared with Ruan Jun, Duan Liu Yu's performance on the court is more stable and mature. Whether it's in possession or passing, he seems to be at ease. Especially against strong teams, he can always show good ability to resist pressure. But Cui Kangxi doesn't seem to be very interested in Duan Liuyu, and would rather use a Chinese Super League player than give the Chinese Super League veteran more opportunities. This made many fans puzzled by Cui Kangxi's employment strategy.
Finally, it has to be said that these transfer trends and decisions are undoubtedly controversial for Shandong Luneng. After all, fans always want to see the teams they support do well in the league, and the success or failure of a team often lies in those decisions. So the question is, do you think Shandong Luneng's transfer strategy is unique or too risky? Welcome to leave your views in the comment area, don't forget to pay attention to the follow-up updates, and see if Luneng's decisions can bring surprises in the new season.
