Transfermarkt has officially confirmed that Leonardo, the team's top scorer in the last two seasons, has officially joined Shanghai Port, the reigning champions. As the saying goes, "Some are happy, some are sad." Zhejiang FC really wanted to keep Leonardo, but due to limited operating capital, they were unable to afford his high salary, which is why they had to let him stay on loan for two consecutive seasons. Shanghai Port did not show much excitement about this deal. Initially, the team was only interested in Leonardo, but they did not reach the point of having to sign him. It was only later, after Wu Lei needed surgery and would require some time to recover, and the team struggled to find an ideal forward replacement, that they settled for Leonardo, who is familiar with the Chinese Super League (CSL) and possesses a certain level of ability. With this move, Shanghai Port has assembled the top three scorers from last season's scoring chart: Wu Lei, Leonardo, and Gustavo. However, without the midfield coordination of Oscar and Bargos, it remains to be seen whether the front line's three attacking players can be invincible. Originally, Leonardo's transfer had little to do with Shandong Taishan's strength. It even freed up a foreign player spot for the team, allowing them to receive a transfer fee and providing conditions for the signing of new players. However, fans still could not hide their disappointment and once again targeted the club management. The focus of the doubts mainly centered around "How advanced is Taishan's tactics? How could they…

The reigning champions, Shanghai Port, are currently undergoing their winter training in West Asia for the new season. The team is set to undergo significant changes in the midfield and attack, with key players such as Oscar, Bargas, and Citadini leaving, and Wu Lei undergoing surgery due to recurring knee injuries. As a result, Shanghai Port will have to restructure their attacking lineup for the upcoming season. The departure of these three core foreign players has significantly weakened Shanghai Port's offensive capabilities. However, the team has already signed two strong reinforcements in the transfer market: Brazilian midfielder Vital and last season's silver boot winner, Leonardo. The final foreign player is also close to being confirmed, rumored to be a technical winger from the Brazilian league. Without a doubt, Shanghai Port will continue to utilize all five foreign players in midfield and attack positions to create a new offensive system. On the evening of January 16th, Shanghai Port Club announced that their key player, Wu Lei, had undergone meniscus surgery, with an expected recovery period of around 8 to 10 weeks. Shanghai media reporters analyzed that Wu Lei's return to high-intensity competition could take at least three months, and if his recovery is average, it could take six months or even up to a year. The ten-week recovery period only allows for normal walking and moderate jogging post-surgery, but reaching competitive sports status and high-intensity confrontation capabilities often requires more time. With Wu Lei's return date uncertain, who will fill the sole domestic player position in Shanghai Port's midfield and attack…

On the 13th, the Chinese Super League transfer market became a hot topic of discussion. Leonardo, the "unexpected foreign aid," finally officially transferred to join Shanghai Port after experiencing many twists and turns. The transfer fee is about 10 million RMB (approximately 1.3 million euros), which is considered a suitable price for Taishan team. For Leonardo, this may be a new starting point. Speaking of Leonardo's experience at Shandong Taishan, it can be described as tortuous and bizarre. In 2021, Leonardo transferred from Urawa Reds to Taishan team, with a transfer fee of 2.1 million euros at that time, and a contract period of up to 5 years. However, unexpectedly, after joining Taishan team, his performance and position were not ideal. In two years, he only played 8 games for Taishan team, scoring a total of 1 goal. Even so, Taishan team still rented him out many times, giving him opportunities to find his form again in other clubs. After seeing this transfer news, some netizens commented: "Isn't this just 'divorce and reorganization'? He did pretty well last year at Zhejiang team, but Taishan team didn't give him many chances, instead they sold him, it's really confusing." Leonardo performed well during his rental period, especially in the 2023 season, when he scored 19 goals in the Chinese Super League and won the Golden Boot award. This performance greatly improved his evaluation in the outside world. In the 2024 season, he transferred to Zhejiang team again and continued to maintain a strong performance, contributing 21 goals and eventually winning the Silver…

In this intense Chinese Super League season, Chengdu Rongcheng achieved a perfect victory over Shanghai Port with a score of 3-1, as if giving their opponents a resounding slap in the face, instantly triggering cheers from all fans. The result of this match is undoubtedly a night of victory for Chengdu Rongcheng, while Shanghai Port finds themselves shrouded in gloom, their points quietly slipping to second place. At Chengdu Sports Center, the atmosphere at the stadium is as festive as the Spring Festival, with the shouts of the fans almost lifting the roof off. Soon after the start of the first half, Chengdu Rongcheng unleashed like a lion out of its cage. Tang Chuang's header in the 21st minute set the stadium ablaze, instantly igniting Rongcheng's morale. Then, in the 28th minute, Zhou Dingyang's shot sliced through the air like lightning, quickly expanding Chengdu Rongcheng's lead to 2-0, heating up the atmosphere even more. Shanghai Port did not give up easily. Ru Sa scored in the 32nd minute, chasing back one goal for Port, as if casting a star into the silent night sky. But just when everyone thought the game was about to enter a white-hot stage, Tang Chuan's solo goal in the 42nd minute reignited the passion of the home fans, rewriting the score to 3-1. At this point, Chengdu Rongcheng had completely taken control of the rhythm of the game, as if each of their attacks was a spectacular performance. Entering the second half, despite Shanghai Port's attempts to reverse the situation through ball possession, time was…

Unexpectedly, another warm-up match during the winter break has left fans surprised as the title contenders conceded three goals in just eight minutes, suffering a 3-2 reversal at the hands of the promoted team. Fans are now saying that letting go of one player was a mistake! Among the current Chinese Super League teams, there are not many capable of challenging for the championship. Besides the Shanghai duo, only Beijing Guoan stands a chance, with Chengdu Rongcheng still lacking in strength. Beijing Guoan's goal has always been to strive for the top, not necessarily to win first place, but to inspire the team and encourage players to be enterprising and fearless in the face of difficulties. In the 2024 season, Beijing Guoan missed out on the championship, but they did secure a spot in the AFC Champions League thanks to Shanghai Port's double championship. For the 2025 season, Beijing Guoan is undoubtedly aiming to improve further, so they made adjustments to their squad during the winter transfer window, releasing five players, including two veterans Zhang Chengdong and Yu Dabao, as well as foreign player Mamadou. During the winter break, Beijing Guoan's biggest gain was securing Serginho, allowing the team to have an additional foreign player for the new season, making the club a strong contender for the 2025 Chinese Super League title. After releasing players and bringing in new signings, the team naturally needs time to gel. On January 21st, Beijing Guoan faced newly promoted Dalian Yingbo in a friendly match. In terms of starting lineups, Dalian Yingbo only fielded…

Recently, the forward of Shanghai Port team, Bargas, made a remarkable decision. He left Shanghai Port and joined the bottom team of the Saudi League. "The world is bustling with activity, all for profit; the world is in turmoil, all for profit." This famous saying interprets Bargas' transfer motivation to some extent. Shanghai Port offered Bargas a contract with an annual salary of three million euros before tax, but the new employer in the Saudi League offered a condition of six million euros after tax, which is undoubtedly a huge temptation. For higher income, Bargas resolutely chose the Saudi League. However, on the football field, strength and results are often closely linked, and he did not expect the new employer's strength to be so poor. Bargas' debut with his new employer was a nightmare. The new employer suffered a 0-9 defeat in the Saudi League, and such a huge gap plunged Bargas into depression. Although he may have foreseen that the new employer's strength was weak and his days in the team would not be easy before joining, such a wide result still greatly exceeded his imagination. A team like this faces a huge risk of relegation in its domestic league. According to common sense, if the situation of the new employer continues to deteriorate, Bargas is likely to terminate the contract early, take the high salary, and return to Shanghai Port. During his time at Shanghai Port, Bargas played an important role. He is a very capable forward. Since joining Shanghai Port, his performance has been commendable. In many…

Dust Settles! Taishan's General Huang Zhengyu Joins Shanghai Port, New Season's Heavy Responsibilities Revealed January 19, 2025, Beijing Time - Let's continue to pay attention to the domestic football scene and domestic sports. The Shandong Taishan team has been training in Shanghai for about 10 days, and this training will last for 1 month. The AFC Champions League will start on February 11, so it is imminent for the Taishan team. The new season of the Shandong Taishan team faces a significant challenge of personnel changes. Among them, the departure of foreign players Pato, Jadson, and Marcelo undoubtedly had a considerable impact on the team. In addition, local players Tong Lei, Sun Guowen, Liao Lisheng, He Xiaoke, Jia Feifan, Yi Xianlong, and others have also left the team. With the departure of these personnel, the Taishan team's recruitment efforts are not significant; Tang Chuang did not pass the trial and has already left the team, while foreign players Madruga and Gazal are about to join the team. Moreover, national team members Wang Dalei, Xie Weneng, Li Yuan, Huang Zhenyu, Gao Zhunyi, and Mai Wu Lang have ended their national team training preparations and returned to the club to prepare for the new season.

However, at 9:48 am on the 19th, Jiang, the president of the Shandong Orange Wave Fan Club, confirmed: "The news that Huang Zhengyu joined Shanghai Port is false; he will stay with the Shandong Taishan…

As the curtain is about to rise on the 2025 Chinese Super League (CSL), the three giants of Beijing Guoan, Shanghai Shenhua, and Shanghai Port have all completed their first warm-up matches, each showcasing their unique strengths. Beijing Guoan has displayed impressive offensive firepower in their warm-up matches. Despite the absence of eight national team players, they continue to dominate on the field. In their first warm-up match against Changchun Yatai, who they defeated 8-1 last season, Guoan showed no signs of complacency and secured another victory with a 2-0 score. They also triumphed over a China League One team with a 4-2 victory. In these two matches alone, Guoan has scored six goals, demonstrating their formidable attacking prowess. As the saying goes, "Offense is the best defense." Guoan, despite their incomplete lineup, relies on their strong offense to exert immense pressure on opponents and instill hope for the future among fans. Currently, Guoan's foreign players are not yet fully assembled, but with the return of the eight national team players and the anticipated arrival of Dawan, if foreign players from the Spanish La Liga can also join successfully, Guoan's strength will be further enhanced, truly taking off and becoming an undeniable force in the CSL. Shanghai Shenhua, on the other hand, has adopted a relatively relaxed strategy in their warm-up matches. They faced newly promoted Dalian Yingbo, fielding five foreign players in the first half, which not only showed respect for their warm-up opponents but also highlighted their depth in squad configuration. After all, since the second half of…

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…
