In the last round of the AFC Champions League group stage, Shandong Taishan vs. Japan's Yokohama Mariners, the Chinese Super League team is not only concerned about Taishan fans, but also Shanghai Port fans, and the Yokohama Mariners coach will coach Shanghai Port immediately after the game.
After the game, a Japanese ** report reported that Yokohama Mariners announced that the departing team coach Muscat will go to Shanghai Port, and assistant coach Angtong will also go to Shanghai Port.
The reason why Shanghai Port is interested in Muscat is that Muscat has the potential to coach the Premier League, and the current head coach of Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League is the former Yokohama Mariners coach and Australian, and Muscat is his assistant. SIPG has always had a tradition of employing well-known foreign teachers.
Second, it is more affordable, according to Japanese media reports, the annual salary of Muscat's entire team is 500 million yen, or about 25.16 million yuan. This may be the lowest-paid coaching team since Shanghai Port was promoted to the Chinese Super League, and it seems that SIPG, which has deep pockets, also has a time when it is budget-conscious. Third, to win Shandong Taishan, since Shanghai Port was promoted to the Chinese Super League, in the face of Shandong Taishan, SIPG is more than lose and win less, and Muscat led the Yokohama Mariners AFC Champions League double kill Taishan team, compared to also grasp the weakness of the Taishan team, this alone is in line with the expectations of Shanghai Port fans.
However, if you want to make a difference in the AFC Champions League and the Chinese Super League, Muscat still needs to do a lot of work, the most important point is to bring in reinforcements, Muscat also relies on foreign aid to play the world in Yokohama, obviously SIPG's existing foreign aid combination is not enough to enter Muscat's eyes. It is imperative to replace foreign aid, and it is currently reported that SIPG's foreign players Isa Caron, Pinco and Joao will all leave the team.
SIPG, which is not short of money, has been bringing in stronger foreign reinforcements for Muscat, including the current Yokohama Mariners' main striker, Anderson Lopez, who is also the J-League Golden Boot this season, which is also Muscat's favorite player. The second is the K-League Golden Boot Thiago Orobo, and the third is Kawasaki Frontale's midfielder Joao Schmidt.
With these three strong foreign aids, coupled with Oscar, Wu Lei and other main forces of SIPG, SIPG will not only lock the Chinese Super League championship early next year, but also have to be ashamed of the AFC Champions League, and the goal is at least the East Asian champion.
