Shandong Taishan team this season is indeed too unsmooth, before the season began, the high-priced standard Wang Zeka suffered a serious injury, resulting in no one available in the team's center position. As the game progressed, key players such as Pato, Liu Binbin and Gao Zhunyi also had injury problems of varying degrees. Most of the top teams in the Chinese Super League are configured with five foreign aids, while the Taishan team can only play with double foreign aid, and the results are naturally not much better. In the match with the Guoan team, Judson retired due to injury in the game, and after the game, Lao Jia's injury attracted everyone's attention.
Based on what we know, Judson has a ruptured cruciate ligament and is definitely scrapped in the second half of the season. Lao Jia's contract with the Taishan team also expires at the end of the year, even if his ability is outstanding, I believe the club will not renew his contract. In addition, there is still good news for the Taishan team, who has been absent for most of the season, Zeka, who has been absent for most of the season, has said goodbye to his family, and he will come to China on the 15th of this month to meet with the Taishan team. In fact, the Tarzan team will also wait for the powerful center forward to fully recover before they can determine whether he is eligible to play, so in this case, Zeka's debut should be in August.
For the Tarzan team, there is indeed a lack of a strong center. The team has scored only a handful of headers this season, and most of them have come from centre-back Judson, which is the opposite of the Tarzan team that have excelled in headers in the past. The team has given up on the simple and crude attacking methods of the past, saying that they lack set-piece tactics and that the problem is that someone has to execute it. Now that Zeka is about to return, the high-pitched striker tactics that the Tarzans are accustomed to are coming back, whether it is scoring directly or as a fulcrum to help his teammates score, Zeka is a reliable player.
