In order to make way for the Chinese men's football team to play in the world preliminary match, the Chinese Super League in the 2024 season has temporarily entered a short interval. After resting for a few days, the teams of the Chinese Super League began to prepare for the next stage of the Chinese Super League. Shandong Luneng is no exception.
After the first 14 rounds, Shandong Luneng won 8, drew 4, and lost 2. With 28 points, it temporarily ranked fifth in the CSL championship. Although they seem to be squeezed out of the top four of the CSL, they are actually the same as Chengdu Rongcheng, the third place, and Beijing Guoan, the fourth place. There is a gap of 8 points between them and Shanghai Shenhua, the first place. Although the hope of winning the championship is somewhat dim, it is not hopeless. Anything is possible if we can continue to work hard and perform stably in the second half of this season.
During the interval of the Chinese Super League, Shandong Luneng made a very wise decision, that is, Wang Dalei, the ace of the successful contract renewal team. The reason why Luneng Taishan's decision is very wise is that it provides a solid guarantee for Shandong Luneng Taishan's CSL achievements in the second half of the journey. Even if we can't win the championship of the Chinese Super League, it is still possible to get the ticket to the Asian Championship next season.
According to the official report of Shandong Taishan on May 31, the club renewed the contract with Wang Dalei until December 31, 2026, plus a one-year option, which can be extended until December 31, 2027. In other words, Wang Dalei can continue to work for Shandong Luneng Taishan for three and a half years. Considering that Wang Dalei is 35 years old this year, he will be 38 years old when his contract expires. Therefore, it is no accident that Wang Dalei may choose to retire in Shandong Luneng.
Data shows that since joining in 2014, Wang Dalei has played 328 times in various competitions on behalf of Shandong Taishan, and his stable performance has always been widely recognized by the outside world. During this period, he has won 1 CSL championship, 4 FA Cup championships and 1 Super Cup championship for Luneng Taishan, which can be called a legendary goalkeeper in the history of Shandong Taishan Team.
As one of the few good goalkeepers in the CSL, Wang Dalei is not too tall, but he is quick in reaction, accurate in prediction, and no less capable than any top Asian goalkeeper. Shandong Luneng has him in front of the door, which is no less than erecting a wall of sighs behind the team's back line. What's more rare is that Wang Dalei not only has super goalkeeping attributes, but also is born with leadership. He likes to greet his teammates in the game. Over time, he has become the recognized spiritual leader of the team.
Shandong Luneng renewed Wang Dalei's contract, which not only renewed a super top goalkeeper, but also retained a rare spiritual leader for the team. A good goalkeeper tops half the team; A good goalkeeper with spiritual leadership will be even more invaluable to the team's tactical value. Therefore, Shandong Luneng successfully renewed Wang Dalei's contract during this interval, which can be called a great renewal. Praise Luneng Taishan's wise decision.
