Among the four major giants of the Chinese Super League, Beijing Guoan has the most central defenders over 1.9 meters tall. When it comes to the four giants of the Chinese Super League, we can't say much about other aspects, but there is still something to be seen in terms of height advantage on defense. Especially for central defenders, players over 1.9 meters tall are simply a gift from heaven, and their ability in aerial defense is beyond question. Not only fans, but even coaching staff must pay special attention to these players, because their height advantage has almost become an absolute weapon to dominate the air. Speaking of these players with height advantages, we have to talk about the lineups of these four giants and see which team's central defenders have the most potential for "height is justice." Let's start with Shanghai Port. Here, the situation is a bit disappointing - the height of Shanghai Port's central defenders seems to have never been particularly outstanding, especially Wei Zhen, who is just a centimeter or two short, at 1.89 meters tall, barely considered tall, but can only be said to be somewhat useful. If they were to face opponents over 1.9 meters tall, it would really be a struggle. Looking at Chengdu Rongcheng, oh my, the situation is similar, with almost no central defender breaking the 1.9-meter mark, which directly affects their performance in aerial defense. On the other hand, Shandong Taishan does have a central defender over 1.9 meters tall - Marcel, who stands at 1.93 meters tall and…

With the Chinese Super League entering the off-season, transfer activities among various clubs have been frequent, with many teams taking advantage of this window to strengthen their squads in an effort to achieve success in the new season. Shanghai Shenhua, Shanghai Port, and Changchun Yatai, these traditional strong teams, have recently made some interesting changes in their transfer operations. Let's start with Shenhua. Recently, they announced the signing of three new players, effectively enhancing the depth of their squad. The arrivals of Li Ke, Wang Shilong, and Wang Hanlong have undoubtedly provided stronger guarantees for Shenhua's strength on both offense and defense. Li Ke's addition first gives a sense of "stability." As a naturalized player, his arrival has strengthened Shenhua's midfield defense and offensive organization capabilities. This midfielder's tactical understanding and calmness on the field are definitely a sharp tool for Shenhua's midfield, allowing him to calmly distribute the ball and disrupt the opponent's attack when facing pressure. Wang Shilong is also quite interesting. He is an all-round defensive player who can play multiple positions, adding more options to the defense. For Shenhua, Wang Shilong can not only help out at center-back but also fill the gaps at full-back, ensuring the diversity and flexibility of the lineup. And Wang Hanlong, this young forward star is not to be underestimated. Although he is still a "potential stock," he has experience playing for various levels of the Slovenian national team, giving him some match experience. As a forward, his joining provides more attacking options for Shenhua's front line. Football matches require not…

Here are the four best technical players in the history of Chinese men's football, according to my personal opinion as a former fan and player: Peng Weiguo: A classic technical player with precise skills, especially in passing like a scalpel. He was the absolute core of the team's offense, with a broad perspective and vision, making him a genius attacking midfielder. Watching Peng play is like reading a textbook on technique. However, his weakness was physical strength and lack of robustness, typical of someone from the south. Zhang Xiaorui: Known for his technical prowess and Latin American-style awareness, but he was physically weak and not good at tackling. After suffering from injuries and being relegated to the bench, his career gradually declined. Despite this, he was once considered a savior during the Olympic qualifiers, often coming off the bench in the second half. His dribbling ability was top-notch, delicate, and he could use his speed and technique to get past defenders. Shen Si: Familiar to old fans, Shen Si played for Shanghai Shenhua and was known for his free-kicks, which rank first in the history of Chinese men's football. His left foot was particularly strong, even surpassing Beckham in some aspects. He was also a player who used his brain, participating in two free-kick competitions in 2004 and 2008. Chen Tao: Considered one of the most technically skilled players in Chinese football over the past 20 years, Chen Tao was a creative midfield organizer with dreamlike footwork, top-level dribbling, speed, and passing abilities. His highlight moment was scoring three goals…

During the off-season of the 2023 Chinese Super League, Shanghai Shenhua Football Club has laid a solid foundation for the new season through a series of precise transfer operations. The team not only signed four players in succession but also completed the most basic strengthening work. Brazilian player Minero, a young talent born in 1997, stands out with his remarkable physical condition - standing at 184 cm tall and weighing 74 kg, along with his balanced skills on both feet, speed, and impact, making him unique on the football field. In the previous season, Minero contributed significantly to the promotion of Brazilian club Ceará SC to the top league with his outstanding competitive performance, becoming an undeniable force on the field. Currently, Minero has arrived in Shanghai and is undergoing physical testing, indicating that he is about to officially become a member of the Shanghai Shenhua Football Club. Based on his technical characteristics, it is believed that he can quickly integrate into Shenhua's offensive system, using his speed and breakthrough ability to tear apart the opponent's defense, and create scoring opportunities for his teammates through accurate passes, further enhancing the team's offensive efficiency. More importantly, Minero's balance between his left and right feet allows him to handle the ball more calmly, whether it be quick advances on the flanks or key passes in the center, showcasing an extremely high level. His joining undoubtedly injects new vitality and variability into Shenhua's frontcourt, providing the coaching staff with more tactical options in their layout. In addition to foreign aid Minero, Shanghai Shenhua…

Translation of the article content into English: "The Chinese Super League transfer market is getting intense! Some teams are grabbing the best players, while others can only watch helplessly." Recently, the transfer operations of Shanghai Shenhua, Zhejiang, and Changchun Yatai have sparked heated discussions. Some teams have returned with a full load, significantly enhancing their strength, while others have missed out on their targets. This round of the Chinese Super League transfer market not only makes fans shout excitedly but also makes the league's lineup for the next season more unpredictable. First, let's talk about Shanghai Shenhua. Their transfer operation this year can be described as clean and decisive. A wave of three consecutive announcements saw Li Ke, Wang Shilong, and Wang Hanlong joining the team! This move has indeed impressed the fans, who exclaimed, "Shenhua's ambition to win the championship cannot be hidden!" Let's start with Li Ke, the naturalized midfielder. Although he has been affected by injuries in the past two years, his all-round attacking and defensive capabilities are still there. He can organize attacks in midfield and complete interceptions at the holding midfielder position, making him the much-needed midfield core for Shenhua. Next is Wang Shilong, the versatile defender who can play both center-back and full-back. Some jokingly say, "With Wang Shilong in defense, the Shenhua coach can sleep well at night." Finally, there's Wang Hanlong, the rising star in attack. This player, who once played for the Slovenian youth team and later chose to join the Chinese nationality after adulthood, has great potential in terms of…

Hello everyone! I'm Youzi Kan Football.

These "double dragons" are Wang Shilong, a versatile player from the former Guangzhou team, and Wang Hanlong, a young mixed-race forward. Their joining can be said to have rejuvenated Shenhua's competitive level. Double Dragons Wang Shilong and Wang Hanlong Wang Shilong was born in Zibo, Shandong in 1998, when the spring sun shone on the earth. He stands at 1.76 meters tall and can flexibly compete in multiple positions in the backfield. It is worth mentioning that during his time at Guangzhou, he played 81 times and had 28 appearances in the China League One. Having come out of the youth training at Guangzhou, he has already taken on a heavy sense of responsibility. And the other Wang Hanlong shines even more. Born in 2006, although still young, he has already shown super strength in the Slovenian youth league. He…

In the previous season of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Shanghai Shenhua once led the standings but ultimately fell short in the final stages. A home draw against Shenzhen New Pengcheng saw them relinquish their title ambitions, finishing one point behind Port and settling for second place. Determined to challenge for the CSL championship next season, Shenhua has been actively bolstering its squad in the transfer market in preparation for the new campaign. Official announcement! Shanghai Shenhua has secured four new signings, Jushi found a bargain for 920,000 euros, and Malailai's new club has emerged. On January 8th, Beijing time, after official confirmation from Shenhua, the team has brought in Li Ke, Wang Shilong, and Wang Handragon. As these three players have all transferred on a free transfer, no transfer fees were incurred. Jushi has signed the three new players for Shenhua without a fee, saving a significant amount of money while acquiring players with promising abilities. Li Ke, currently 31 years old, is a product of Arsenal's youth academy and plays as a midfielder, having been naturalized by the national team. Li Ke is versatile in both attack and defense. Last season, while playing for Guoan, he made 23 appearances with 18 starts in the CSL, scoring one goal and providing two assists. He is known for rushing to help his teammates when they are being bullied, which can enhance Shenhua's midfield depth and team cohesion. Wang Shilong, 23 years old, is capable of playing as a center-back and full-back, making him a versatile defensive asset. Last season, Wang…

Controversy! Wang Dalei Wins CSL Best Goalkeeper Award Despite 6-0 Humiliation by Shanghai Shenhua At 7:30 PM on January 8th, Beijing time, during the annual award ceremony held by the Chinese Super League (CSL), Wang Dalei from Shandong Taishan was successfully elected as the 2024 CSL Best Goalkeeper. This is also the second time he has won this honor after being named the league's best goalkeeper in 2023. However, Wang Dalei's winning of this award has also sparked significant controversy. The list of candidates for the CSL Best Goalkeeper award this year includes a total of seven players. They are Yan Junling (Shanghai Port), Bao Yaxiong (Shanghai Shenhua), Han Jiaqi (Beijing Guoan), Wang Dalei (Shandong Taishan), Fang Jingqi (Tianjin Jinmen Tiger), Wang Guoming (Henan Team), and Liu Dianzuo (Wuhan Three Towns). Jian Tao from Chengdu Rongcheng, who finished third in the league, did not make the candidate list, which is one of the controversies. Secondly, Wang Dalei's election as the best goalkeeper has become the biggest point of contention for the award. Last season, Wang Dalei had an average attendance rate in the league, starting only 23 games, keeping a clean sheet in 7 of them, with a total of 29 goals conceded. Compared to Wang Dalei, Bao Yaxiong of Shanghai Shenhua performed much better. Last season, Bao Yaxiong started 29 games in the league, keeping a clean sheet in 15 of them. During his appearances, the team only conceded 18 goals. In terms of attendance rate, clean sheets, and goals conceded, Bao Yaxiong significantly outperformed Wang Dalei. What is…

In the early days of 2025's Chinese football transfer market, Shanghai Shenhua Club completed an important signing, with former Arsenal and Beijing Guoan player Li Ke officially joining the team. This transfer not only attracted widespread attention from the football world but also demonstrated Shenhua's thoughtful planning for the new season. Recently, Li Ke was seen at Shanghai Airport wearing a Shenhua scarf, marking the official start of his Shenhua career. This moment was hard-won, as before this, Li Ke's destination had been a mystery. Multiple media outlets reported that he had close ties with Chengdu Rongcheng, and there were even rumors that he would soon join Rongcheng, making the final result of him joining Shenhua quite dramatic. A careful analysis of Shenhua's decision to sign Li Ke reveals that it was a well-considered choice. Firstly, Shenhua is currently facing the issue of updating its naturalized players. The previous naturalized player who played for the team, Fernando, did not perform well last season and failed to demonstrate convincing abilities, which directly led to difficulties in continuing his stay at the club. In this situation, Shenhua urgently needs a new naturalized player to fill the gap. Secondly, looking at the team's lineup structure, Shenhua's defensive midfielder position urgently needs reinforcement. The team's current main defensive midfielder, Wu Xi, is already 36 years old, and although experienced, his age makes it difficult for him to maintain peak form. The young player Wang Haijian, who the team has focused on cultivating, has potential but lacks consistency in performance. Therefore, bringing in an experienced…
