In the 2024 season, Shanghai Shenhua fans had high hopes for their team to compete for titles in both the Chinese Super League (CSL) and the Chinese FA Cup. However, crucial match errors led to the team narrowly missing out on the double crown. This outcome left head coach Sluisky disappointed, but he quickly shifted his focus to the CSL transfer market to infuse fresh talent into the team while also beginning to focus on nurturing young players. Amid this wave of rejuvenation, 19-year-old Wang Hanlong emerged as a new star for Shenhua. He consistently displayed his talent in training and matches, earning attention from fans and the coaching staff with his stable goal-scoring efficiency. Wang Hanlong comes from the Slovenian youth training system and has won the Golden Boot award in the youth league. At 18, he firmly chose to join China, a decision that made him a key target for Shenhua's development. Wang Hanlong quickly adapted to Shenhua's system and shone brightly in the new season, earning the nickname "Dark Horse Forward" from fans. Alongside Wang Hanlong is Liu Chengyu, a standout from Shenhua's 06 youth training program and a mainstay for the national youth team. Liu Chengyu once helped China secure a 2-0 victory over South Korea with a brace in a friendly match. His steady performance has made Shenhua increasingly value their youth resources, leading them to designate him as a key player and pair him with Wang Hanlong multiple times in the new season. Shenhua's strategy for developing young talent is gradually bearing fruit, which…

Shanghai Shenhua head coach Slutzky arranged a friendly match against Dalian Yingbo to test the team's training results during this period. In this match, Shenhua's ace player Dai Weijun performed well, scoring an impressive goal in the second half after receiving an assist from veteran Yu Hanchao. Dai Weijun's excellent performance helped Shenhua secure a 2-0 victory over their opponents, impressing many fans who believe he has a bright future. As we all know, since joining Shenhua in the summer transfer window of the 2023 Chinese Super League season, Dai Weijun has not been able to demonstrate his full potential in matches. Prior to joining Shenhua, Dai Weijun had a salary dispute with his former club Shenzhen, which led to him not being allowed to play for them. Without systematic training and competition for more than half a year, his form was significantly affected. Under these circumstances, after joining Shenhua, Dai Weijun struggled to find his rhythm in matches. Last season, he experienced a career low point at Shenhua, which was disappointing for many fans. Fortunately, after being loaned to Shenzhen Xinpengcheng, he delivered commendable performances. Shenzhen Xinpengcheng's successful relegation survival in the last round of the league was directly related to Dai Weijun's outstanding contributions. Seeing Dai Weijun perform so well at Shenzhen, Shenhua eagerly recalled him. At the same time, Shenhua head coach Slutzky gave Dai Weijun the opportunity to represent the team in friendly matches. The saying "Opportunities are for those who are prepared" applies perfectly to Dai Weijun. When representing Shenhua in matches, he repaid the…

Recently, rumors about deductions for the next season's Chinese Super League (CSL) teams have been rampant, with particular attention focused on Shanghai Shenhua. Previously, bloggers and self-media claimed that the Shenhua management had not received any notice of point deductions. The team's media outlet, "Shenhua Team News," responded to fans by saying "starting from zero next season," further implying that the team would not be penalized with point deductions. However, this official announcement has sparked controversy. In the previous football environment, the anti-gambling and anti-corruption storm has continued to deepen, involving many high-ranking officials of the Football Association and club personnel. This has placed the entire CSL in a state of great uncertainty. As a traditional powerhouse in the CSL, Shenhua has naturally been caught up in various speculations. Some fans are concerned that the team may be implicated in the football scandal and even face relegation penalties. Therefore, when "Shenhua Team News" released the message "starting from zero next season," some fans couldn't help but speculate whether this meant that the team had indeed been at the brink of relegation before, but now has been spared and can start anew. However, looking at it from another perspective, Shenhua Club has been actively involved in team management and operations in recent years. According to club management, Shenhua has always operated in accordance with league requirements, actively cooperating with the work of the management department in financial audits and salary payments. Moreover, the club has achieved significant results in optimizing the team structure and controlling costs, such as clearing out highly…

Ivan's emotional intelligence is too high. Under the proactive approach of the national football team's head coach, the Chinese team has recently received free guidance from another world-class coach, making their performance this year highly anticipated. Recently, the national team has been training in Haikou, and the highly emotionally intelligent Ivan Kević has not only created a historically recognized best atmosphere among the national players but also been very open and inclusive, actively communicating with coaches from CSL clubs. The latest news is that he specially visited the Shanghai Shenhua team, who were also training in Haikou, to have a cordial conversation with the Russian coach Leonid Slutsky, which is beneficial for the Chinese men's football team! This move has at least three benefits: first and foremost, it allows the national team to directly receive free advice from a world-class coach. Although Ivan has extensive coaching experience in Asia, from a European or even global football perspective, Slutsky is clearly stronger. He has won the Russian Premier League title three times, coached the Russian national team, participated in the European Championship, and has coaching experience in the English Championship and Dutch Eredivisie, demonstrating his strong coaching abilities. Most importantly, he previously watched Ivan's matches with the national team, and Shenhua has several key national team players, so he has a deep understanding of the Chinese team, making his opinions invaluable. Secondly, Ivan's initiative to visit Slutsky directly resolved many misunderstandings and conflicts, allowing them to form a united front to help the national team. Previously, Slutsky publicly questioned Jiang Guangtai's…

With the departure of big-name stars like Oscar and Bargas from the Chinese Super League (CSL) stage, the league seems to have entered a chaotic era akin to the "Warring States," with teams gearing up and the championship race becoming increasingly unpredictable. From the current situation, Shanghai Shenhua appears to be the most likely candidate for the championship. In the next season, their lineup is as solid as a castle, with no obvious weaknesses. Shenhua is not a team that relies on foreign players; they are more supported by the tactical system meticulously crafted by Sluisky. Looking at the CSL's player value rankings for the 2025 season, none of Shenhua's players are in the top six. The highest-valued player is Klauss of Shandong Taishan, followed by Leonardo, and then Guga and Fabio of Beijing Guoan. Although there are rumors that Serginho's transfer to Beijing Guoan could strengthen their lineup, Shenhua also has its own confidence. During the 2024 season, the five major foreign players in the CSL had very few appearances among the three major clubs. Now, various intelligence suggests that the foreign player coming to replace Malele at Shenhua is just Minero from the Brazilian second division, who has a history of heart disease and serious injuries. It seems unrealistic for Sluisky to rely on foreign players to win the championship. However, Sluisky is like a magical magician, with excellent skills in promoting new talents. Look at the national players in Shenhua's current lineup: Bao Yaxiong, Yang Zexiang, Jiang Shenglong, Zhu Chenjie, Xu Haoyang, Wang Haijian, Gao Tianyi, Xie…

Recently, the transfer strategy of Tianjin Tigers has attracted considerable attention from fans, especially after news emerged that they are continuing to scout players from Shanghai Shenhua. Discussions among fans have been lively and varied. This approach may seem clichéd, but upon closer examination, it is indeed a relatively stable method—acquiring talented players from nearby competitors not only strengthens one's own team but also weakens the opponent's strength, making for a significant move. Moreover, Tianjin Tigers' current transfers aim not only to deepen their squad but also specifically target several promising players. Let's take a look at their transfer ideas and objectives. Speaking of Tianjin Tigers' transfer strategy, everyone might know that this team has consistently supplemented their lineup through loan transfers from other clubs, particularly Shanghai Shenhua, over the past few years. This is a painstaking effort—ensuring the players' abilities while avoiding excessive transfer fees, which can be considered a very shrewd operation. This strategy seems to have achieved good results in the past few seasons. For example, Zhang Wei joined Tianjin Tigers through this method. Zhang Wei, who should be familiar to everyone, was very eye-catching at Hebei China Fortune earlier, with domestic golden boots and goals galore, he was simply a star on the scoring charts. His performance left a deep impression on many fans, and he was even seen as a potential mainstay for the future national team. After joining Shenhua, Zhang Wei seemed unable to fully maintain his previous fiery form and gradually became a substitute player. It may be that Shenhua's tactical system did…

Recently, a blogger on social media revealed that Zhou Jun, the former general manager of Shanghai Shenhua Club, is working as a real estate agent in West Asia! This news has sparked heated discussions among fans and media attention. For those who have been following the Chinese Super League for a long time, Zhou Jun, the general manager of Shanghai Shenhua Club, is no stranger. Zhou Jun can be considered a hero of Shanghai Shenhua Club. During his tenure, he helped the club win two FA Cup championships, leaving a significant mark in the history of Shenhua Club. Why did Zhou Jun go to West Asia to work as a real estate agent this time? The reason is the second round of anti-corruption efforts in Chinese football, in which Zhou Jun was involved! As the former general manager of Shanghai Shenhua, he can be described as a big fish! It now appears that he has fled! Unexpectedly, Zhou Jun also fell! The reason for Zhou Jun's involvement is said to be shady dealings in player transfers. In 2017, during several high-profile transfers, Zhou Jun made a lot of money. The players came to Shenhua, but their performance did not meet expectations, leading to doubts! And during this comprehensive football reform, Zhou Jun was exposed! However, Zhou Jun had planned ahead and fled to Spain. He then went to West Asia. Along with Zhou Jun's escape were some of his former subordinates. They are now all selling houses at a real estate company. However, their current living conditions are not good,…
