Page "Shandong Luneng Taishan F.C." Paragraph 9

From 2004, much investment was put into the squad, including 2006 CSL top scorer Li Jinyu and 2006 MVP Zheng Zhi, who is about to return from a loan spell with Charlton Athletic in England.

Talented and motivated young players include Cui Peng, Han Peng and Wang Yongpo.

Finally, in CSL 2006, without ACL commitments, Shandong won the Cup and League double to get another shot at the ACL.

The 2006 season was a landmark for Shandong Luneng after the team won the league by almost 20 points at one point and several matches remaining.
