Under the support of both provincial and municipal departments, Wuhan Three Towns has made up for the two months of wages owed to the players this year, and has successively resolved 11 international lawsuits before the 20th. As a result, Wuhan Three Towns has successfully passed the entry review of the Football Association. Next, what lies ahead for Wuhan Three Towns is to strengthen the team's strength and start the winter window transfer work.
Unlike in the past, this time Wuhan Three Towns' transfer strategy focuses on tapping local talent from Wuhan, especially those players with a deep football heritage in Hubei, who will become the main targets for the team's recruitment. Under this guiding principle, two Hubei-born national team veterans have come into the sights of Wuhan Three Towns. They are former national team captain Hao Junmin and former national goalkeeper Zeng Cheng.
Despite the fact that these two former national team veterans have been away from the field for some time, their return rumors still aroused widespread attention and expectations. For Wuhan Three Towns, bringing in Hao Junmin and Zeng Cheng is not just a simple consideration to enhance the team's strength, but also a strong push for the inheritance of local football culture.
Hao Junmin, once a star in the Bundesliga and a champion of the German Cup wearing the Schalke 04 jersey, his brilliant achievements in his career have long been recorded in history. On the Bundesliga stage, he won the wide acclaim of fans with his exquisite ball skills and outstanding vision. After returning to the CSL, Hao Junmin became an indispensable midfield commander for Shandong Taishan, leading Shandong Luneng to repeated successes as captain.
However, time waits for no man, with the growth of age and the impact of injuries, Hao Junmin gradually faded out of the sight of fans and turned to coaching. Last season, during his tenure as assistant coach at Cangzhou Lions, he showed remarkable coaching ability. At Cangzhou Lions, Hao Junmin was not only responsible for the team's set-piece training, but also brought tactical innovation and strength enhancement to the team through his experience and wisdom. If he returns to his hometown team Wuhan Three Towns, it is likely that he will join as an assistant coach, which will undoubtedly bring more stability and experience to this young team.
The other highly anticipated transfer target is Zeng Cheng, the former first-choice national goalkeeper. Without a doubt, Zeng Cheng is a legendary goalkeeper in the CSL. He served as the starting goalkeeper for two major CSL clubs, Guangzhou Evergrande and Shanghai Shenhua, and was selected for the national team multiple times, serving as the first-choice goalkeeper and becoming the most stable link in the Chinese men's football defense. During his peak career, Zeng Cheng won the honor of the best goalkeeper in the CSL many times with his excellent reaction speed and stable performance, and made great contributions for the national team on the international stage.
If Zeng Cheng really returns to Wuhan Three Towns this time, it can also be considered as returning to his roots. He can not only serve as the team's goalkeeper but also guide the work as a goalkeeper coach. With his abilities and experience, whether as a goalkeeper or a goalkeeper coach, he can play a very important role in the Wuhan Three Towns team.
