Shanghai Port has completed the final piece of the puzzle, and their team lineup remains luxurious, with their overall strength ranking among the top in the Chinese Super League (CSL). In today's world, people expect a "break-up fee" when ending a relationship, and it seems that football players also have their own version of this concept. Oscar and Balagas waved goodbye, leaving behind a suave figure, while the fans of Shanghai Port could only silently shed tears. Our top scorer, Wu Lei, is injured again, and we won't see him for three months. This is truly adding insult to injury! What are we going to do this season? Don't worry! Shanghai Port has money! And just like that, several new faces have arrived. Leonardo, Vital, and Anderson, who made a name for himself in the Korean league. It's said that Anderson's speed and dribbling skills make him a perfect replica of Balagas 2.0! And Vital, who was once the core player of the Brazilian Olympic team, is undoubtedly a technical wizard! These big brothers, can you carry the flag of Shanghai Port? It all depends on you! Let's talk about Leonardo first. He looks energetic, but can he replace Wu Lei's position? That's still a question mark. After all, Wu Lei is our precious gem in the CSL! As for Vital, he's described as an organizing midfielder, which is quite a technical role. We'll see if he can adapt to the rhythm of the CSL. The most anticipated is Anderson, who was the assist king of the K-League. With such…

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…

As the calendar turns to March, the eyes of football fans around the world are gradually focusing on the World Cup qualifiers across various continents. Among them, the New Year's battle between the Chinese team and Saudi Arabia has undoubtedly become a major highlight in the Asian region. The match scheduled for March 20 is not only crucial for both teams' World Cup dreams but also carries the expectations and hopes of countless Chinese fans. However, a series of uncertainties before the game have made the outcome unpredictable. Wu Lei, the top scorer for the Chinese men's football team, has always been under close attention. However, according to the latest news, Wu Lei may be unable to play due to injury. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow for the Chinese team in desperate need of goals. Wu Lei's absence means that the team's options in the front line will be even more limited. How to make up for this loss will be a major challenge for the head coach. In addition to Wu Lei's injury, the progress of naturalized players has also cast a shadow over the Chinese team's prospects. The naturalization procedures for Xiao Oscar and Serginho have yet to make substantial progress, which means they are unlikely to catch up with the key battle against Saudi Arabia. If these two players were on the field, they would undoubtedly add more creativity and attacking power to the Chinese team's midfield and frontcourt, but reality is disappointing. Facing the strong Saudi team, the Chinese team needs to muster all their…

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…

In March of this year, the World Cup qualifiers kick off, with the second crucial match for the Chinese men's football team against a formidable opponent - the Australian men's football team. This match is highly anticipated, not only because of the historical encounters between the two teams that are full of suspense, but also because CCTV5 will broadcast it live, allowing hundreds of millions of fans across the country to witness this focus match together. Despite having the home advantage, the Chinese team suffered a significant blow before the game. The main striker, Wu Lei, was out due to injury, which undoubtedly posed a considerable challenge to the team's offensive end. At the same time, naturalized players Xiao Oscar and Serginho were unable to play due to procedural issues, further weakening the overall strength of the Chinese team. Faced with such difficulties, coach Ivan demonstrated his decisiveness and adaptability, deciding to use more young players in hopes that their energy and drive could make up for the team's lack of experience and strength. Under Ivan's tactical deployment, the Chinese team will unleash a youth storm. These young players fully display their potential and fighting spirit on the field, breaking through and passing fearlessly to attack the Australian team's defense line. Although there may be some shortcomings in experience and coordination, their performance undoubtedly brings new hope and vitality to the Chinese team. Overall, despite the huge challenges and difficulties the Chinese team will face in this World Cup qualifier, their performance on the field is still worthy of recognition…

Recently, the Chinese men's national football team has been conducting their winter training in Haikou. According to the schedule of the World Cup qualifiers, China will have two crucial matches in late March against Saudi Arabia and Australia. To prepare for these matches, the national team is currently undergoing targeted training under Ivan, including tactical drills and set-piece attack and defense. However, while the national team is training in Haikou, they have received a disheartening piece of news. According to the latest report from Oriental Sports Daily, China's top domestic forward, Wu Lei, has had ineffective conservative treatment for his meniscus injury and has now confirmed that he will undergo surgery, with an expected recovery period of at least two months. Previously, affected by the meniscus injury, Wu Lei missed the final stages of the 2024 season for both his club and the national team. If surgery is performed now, it is certain that he will miss the two vital World Cup qualifiers for the national team in late March. Receiving such news at this time is undoubtedly a disheartening blow for the Chinese national team, who are determined to qualify for the World Cup. South Korean media has shown great concern over Wu Lei's absence, stating that it is a fatal blow to the Chinese national team. This means that if Wu Lei misses these two World Cup qualifiers, the prospects for qualification will be very bleak. We know that Wu Lei, as a top-level forward in Chinese football, possesses many outstanding technical characteristics. His speed and explosive power…

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…

Ivanković is leading the Chinese men's football team in training in Haikou. Let's take a look at the latest training situation of the team. Situation One: Wu Lei's Return Date Confirmed In the latest men's football training list, Wu Lei was not selected due to a knee injury. When will he recover from his injury and return to the national team? This concerns the hearts of thousands of fans. At present, his return date can be roughly determined. Specifically, Wu Lei has decided to give up the conservative treatment plan for his knee injury and instead opt for a surgical treatment plan that carries certain risks. He will undergo surgery within this week, and after the surgery, he will need 2-3 months to recover. To return to the field, he should also need another 1-2 months to adjust his athletic abilities and state. Therefore, Wu Lei will definitely miss the two World Cup qualifiers in March, away against Saudi Arabia and home against Australia. The two World Cup qualifiers in June, away against Indonesia and home against Bahrain, will be the day of his return. Wu Lei previously received a closed treatment for his leg for the national team, and for this, he deserves our blessings. Looking forward to your return, King Wu! Situation Two: Bai Helamu Leaves the Team The 43rd Shenggang Cup is about to start, with the teams being Guangdong and Hong Kong, China. The Guangdong team mainly consists of players from the Chinese Super League club Shenzhen New Pengcheng, and since Bai Helamu is currently playing…

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…
