The flames of the new season's Chinese Super League have yet to be ignited, but the transfer market is already shrouded in smoke. The top teams are preparing themselves with great effort for the upcoming season, and among them, the actions of Shanghai Shenhua, Shanghai Port, and Shandong Luneng undoubtedly capture the hearts of the fans.
Shanghai Shenhua has taken the lead in the transfer market, officially announcing four signings, all of which are foreign players from the newly promoted team in the Brazilian Serie A. This move is considered to be a keen eye, as the Brazilian league is known for its tough style and delicate technique. It is believed that the strength of these players is remarkable. These four signings are like reinforcing the deck and updating the weapons of a warship about to set sail, basically completing the strengthening of the lineup.
In the past few seasons, Shenhua's performance has been up and down, with both bright moments and low points. By introducing foreign players from Brazil, the team clearly wants to reshape its glory in the new season. The arrival of these new players can not only enhance the team's strength but also bring different tactical styles and football concepts. Whether they can quickly integrate into the team and create a chemical reaction with existing players will be the key to Shenhua's performance in the new season. Fans are eager to see the new players galloping on the field, capturing cities and fortresses for Shenhua, and reviving their former glory.
Shanghai Port is also not to be outdone, as they are close to securing Leonardo. If Leonardo joins, it will undoubtedly inject powerful firepower into Port's attacking line. Moreover, Port has several domestic players joining, further enhancing the team's depth.
Port has always been a strong contender for the Chinese Super League title in recent years, with a lineup that already possesses great strength. With the addition of new players, the team's ambition is self-evident. In the Chinese Super League, the strength and understanding of domestic players are equally crucial for the team's results. Whether the domestic players introduced by Port can quickly adapt to the team's tactical system and form effective cooperation with the foreign players will determine how far Port can go in the new season. Port fans are full of expectations for the new season, hoping that the team can achieve success in both the league and the AFC Champions League.
Shandong Luneng has had a bumpy offseason. First, there was a dispute with head coach Choi Kang-hee, as he once had the opportunity to coach Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors, leading to negotiations over termination. With the position of Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors' head coach settled and Luneng unwilling to pay a huge termination fee, Choi Kang-hee returned. This turmoil delayed Luneng's recruitment work.
Fortunately, Luneng recently announced two signings, one domestic and one foreign. On the domestic side, Tang Chuang was brought in from Chengdu Rongcheng. Last season, Tang Chuang performed brilliantly, scoring 4 goals in 16 appearances, including a brace against Shanghai Port Men's Football Team. Such performances naturally attracted the attention of many teams, and he ultimately chose to join Luneng. Tang Chuang's arrival injected new vitality into Luneng's midfield. His keen sense of offense and excellent scoring ability are expected to bring more goals to Luneng in the new season.
On the foreign side, Luneng renewed their contract with Delgado, who was at the end of his contract, giving him a two-year deal. Previously, Luneng had high hopes for Delgado, hoping to naturalize him to play for the Chinese national team, but unfortunately, the dream of naturalization was shattered, coupled with injuries, Delgado did not get many opportunities to prove himself. Now with the renewal, Luneng still has confidence in him. If Delgado can overcome injuries and regain his form in the new season, he can not only help Luneng compete for the championship in the Chinese Super League but may even have the opportunity to wear the national team jersey in the future.
From the current transfer situation, Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai Port have made rapid moves and clear targets in recruitment, while Shandong Luneng, although starting late, has also completed key signings. The pattern of the Shanghai-Luneng rivalry in the new season's Chinese Super League is beginning to emerge.
