The former Russian national team coach has a big heart! There is also an option to terminate the contract with Shenhua for free!
The former Russian coach's heart is as wide as the sea, and there are hidden mysteries in the Shenhua contract? Are you nervous, Shenhua fans?
Hey, fellow Shenhua die-hards, today we have to talk about what's going on at our doorstep! Have you heard? The coach who once led the Russian national team to battle in all directions and was affectionately called "the four-way driver" by the fans, Slutske, actually has a "walk away" clause in his Shenhua contract! When you hear this, does your heart skip a beat?
We must say that Coach Slutske's heart is not just ordinary broad! Looking at the new season of Shenhua, the winter training whistle is about to blow, and the national players are busy running around. Training, Spring Festival holidays, Super Cup, one link after another, as tight as the morning rush hour in Shanghai's alleyways. And so, when February comes, the Asian Champions League and the league will follow one after another, and Coach Slutske will start his "continuous rotation" mode again.
Looking back at the 2024 season, Shenhua only won the Super Cup championship, and the FA Cup and CSL titles were out of reach. Although there was a breath of difference in the league, on the football field, without winning the championship, it was all for nothing. So, in the 2025 season, if Coach Slutske wants to keep his position, he must win at least one trophy from the FA Cup, league or AFC Champions League. However, given the current situation, it is as difficult for Shenhua to win the AFC Champions League as climbing Mount Everest!
In terms of foreign aid configuration, Shenhua is one step behind other teams, coupled with injury problems, it is like a leaky house hit by a night rain. Manafa, Malele, Amadou, Teixeira, these foreign aids are like "glass men" of the Shenhua team, and they have to report to the infirmary from time to time. On the AFC Champions League stage, what is fought for is the quality of foreign aid, and our foreign aid lineup really makes people sweat.
Therefore, Coach Slutske still has to focus on the domestic arena, especially the league. In the new season, Shanghai Port has lost Balagas, Oscar, and Citadini, which can be considered a heavy blow. But then again, foreign aid still needs to be integrated, and it's not like turning on a cheat code as soon as they arrive. What is the strength of Shanghai Port's foreign aid now is still unknown.
At this point, some fans said that next season, the stumbling block on Shenhua's road to the championship is not Shanghai Port, but Beijing Guoan and Shandong Taishan. Especially Beijing Guoan, in the 2025 season, it is going to play attacking football, with a luxurious lineup like a luxury display cabinet, and two foreign aids stationed. On the side of Shandong Taishan, Crescendo is the highest-priced foreign aid in the CSL, and his strength cannot be underestimated.
Coach Slutske, if you want to stand firm in the new season, you must win these two tough battles against Beijing Guoan and Shandong Taishan at the beginning of the season. If you can't win, the dream of the championship may be ruined, and the option to terminate the contract for free is no joke!
Speaking of this, the hearts of us Shenhua fans are like riding a roller coaster, up and down. But then again, we also have to believe in Shenhua and believe that our team has that indomitable spirit. After all, the spirit of Shenhua is never giving up!
Here comes the key point: Can Coach Slutske lead Shenhua to break through the siege in the new season and win the championship? This is not only a test for the coach, but also a major test for all the soldiers of Shenhua. We fans should give the team a boost, pay more attention to the games, and give the team more support and encouragement!
