Shenhua Finds a Gem? The Brazilian Second Division Silver Boot That Port Didn't Want, Slutske Saw at First Sight The farewell between Malele and Shanghai Shenhua can be described as a decisive parting that lacked warmth. After the expiration of his contract, both sides decided not to renew their partnership. For the fans of Shanghai Shenhua, Malele's departure did not seem to evoke much regret but rather a sense of relief. Throughout the previous season, Malele scored 16 goals, yet his performance was not entirely satisfactory, especially in crucial matches where he squandered several scoring opportunities. This ultimately led to a mere one-point difference between Shenhua and the Chinese Super League (CSL) championship. More heart-wrenching were the missed opportunities in games against Beijing Guoan and Shenzhen FC, which almost became the catalyst for Shenhua's failure to lift the championship trophy. With his departure, the fans may have been thinking, "It's time for a change; we need a more reliable forward." Shenhua did not keep the fans waiting long and quickly responded by setting their sights on Brazilian forward Saulo Mineiro. This name might not have been unfamiliar to most fans, yet it carried a hint of novelty. Saulo Mineiro, 27 years old, stands at 1.84 meters tall and plays as a right-footed forward with remarkable speed. His career has not been without its challenges, having played for Yokohama FC in Japan. Despite Yokohama FC's relegation, he managed to accumulate valuable experience through his individual performances. The highlight of his career came during his outstanding performance in the Brazilian second division.…

As we all know, the recruitment for the current Chinese Super League (CSL) is almost at its conclusion. With time slipping away and the new season drawing ever closer, clubs have already begun their winter training early to ensure team cohesion and combat readiness. As a result, the team rosters are basically set. At this critical moment, there are often surprising transfers and crucial news among the teams. Among them, recently, Spanish media reported an exciting piece of news: the forward currently playing for Albacete, Kiles, is about to transfer to the Chinese Super League. The report also indicates that the CSL team Kiles is about to join is Tianjin Jinmen Tiger. If this news is true, we can't help but admire the keen eye of coach Gen Wei. After all, although Kiles currently plays in the third tier of the Spanish league, judging from his past professional experience, as a forward, he is more adept at scoring goals than Wu Lei to a certain extent. We know that the current 29-year-old Kiles has a market value of 1.2 million euros on Transfermarkt, which is on par with Wu Lei's valuation. However, the younger Kiles is undoubtedly superior to Wu Lei in terms of reaction speed and finishing ability. In the past, Kiles even won the silver and bronze boots in the second division of Spain. Between 2018 and 2021, during his time at Huelva, he played 90 games for the team, scoring 23 goals. From 2021 to 2023, while playing for Deportivo La Coruna, he scored 38 goals in…

Yu Genwei's keen eye for talent has struck again, as the Chinese Super League (CSL) welcomes another Spanish third-tier silver boot winner, who is expected to be on par with the level of Wu Lei in the CSL. Many have said that Wu Lei plays at a foreign player level in the CSL, and now Tianjin Jinmen Tiger has indeed found a Spanish import with many similarities to Wu Lei! According to Spanish media reports, 29-year-old Spanish forward Kiles will join Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, with a value identical to Wu Lei's current worth of 1.2 million euros. He boasts impressive reactions and speed, outstanding finishing ability, and can play both centrally and out wide, offering great value for money. Although he has previously only played in the second and third tiers of Spanish football, several details indicate that he could be a strong contender for the CSL Golden Boot. His greatest career achievement was winning the Spanish third-tier league, securing one silver boot and one bronze boot in the Xijiajia, scoring an astonishing 34 goals over two seasons. Previously, Wu Lei mentioned that the level of the CSL is comparable to the third tier of Spanish football. As a silver boot winner in the Xijiajia, it is highly anticipated whether Kiles can achieve similar success in the CSL. Currently, he is playing in the Segunda División B, where he scored 10 goals last season with 3 assists, and this season he has already achieved 6 goals and 2 assists in just half a season. These statistics are quite impressive, especially…

Shanghai Port FC, who defeated their local rivals Shanghai Shenhua last season to win the Chinese Super League title and overcame Shandong Taishan to claim the FA Cup, emerged as big winners. However, the team was unable to retain their championship lineup, with Oscar departing earlier and now Vargas bidding farewell to the club, leaving Port without two of their top foreign players. Fortunately, Port's transfer work has been commendable, and they have already made some acquisitions. Just after Vargas' departure, Port has signed two new players: a national team forward and the Brazilian Silver Boot winner, both coming in to provide support. On December 30th, according to reports from China's authoritative media outlet "Football News," national team player Tao Qianglong from Wuhan Three Towns has quickly been targeted by Port. Tao Qianglong's contract with Three Towns expires at the end of this year, and without a renewal, it means he will leave the club as a free agent, becoming a free player. Port can acquire this national team player, valued at 325,000 euros, on a free transfer. Tao Qianglong was once considered a domestic prodigy striker, scoring his first goal in the Chinese Super League at the age of 17, making history. However, his career development did not meet expectations. Despite this, Tao Qianglong is still worth watching, especially since he is only 23 years old. He has strong ball control skills, a creative playing style, and is best suited for the left winger position. With Vargas' departure, Tao Qianglong can fill this role at Port. Additionally, according to…
