In the just-concluded 2023 season of the Chinese Super League, although the Shanghai Port team successfully won the championship, it was not as happy as imagined. The reason is that the team has encountered a series of problems during the season that need to be addressed in time to ensure that the team remains competitive in all competitions in the new season. Despite their excellent performance in the Chinese Super League, Harbour have been disappointing in the AFC Champions League and FA Cup, failing to achieve the expected results in these three competitions.
With a number of favourites fluctuating during the season, Shanghai Port was able to capitalise on the depth of the squad to take a lead in the title race. However, coach Xavier's tactical incompatibility, poor squad run-in, and conflicts with player Vargas led to a lack of stamina in the middle and late stages of the season.
In the AFC Champions League play-offs, Harbour lost 2-3 to Thai Super League side Pathum United and missed out on the group stage. In addition, they have dropped points in four consecutive upsets in all competitions, three of which have been scored by at least three goals, and these results have been a huge blow to the team's morale and confidence. Although the Harbour team no longer had the lead in the final stage of the league, they still beat Shandong Taishan by five points to win the title.
However, after the end of the season, the Harbour team ushered in a huge change. Xavier's departure and the team's two major disgraces became the trigger for the change of manager. The team will be led by a new coach to prepare for the new season. At the same time, the Harbour team will also face adjustments, and the winter window will be a critical period for the team to change blood. According to the latest transfer market information, the overall value of the Harbour team has dropped significantly, which undoubtedly poses more challenges to the team.
Despite this, the Harbour team is still the most luxurious squad in the Chinese Super League. Even if their value has shrunk significantly, they still have the highest value in the Chinese Super League, which is also a strong guarantee for the team to compete for the championship in the new season. However, the drop in value also reflects the need for changes in the new season, especially in the team's attack and defence.
In the upcoming new season, the Harbour team will face more challenges. Under the leadership of the new manager, they need to adjust their strategy, play to their strengths, and strive for better results in all competitions. For fans, the new season will be a fresh start and they are looking forward to the Harbour team making even greater progress in the new season and bringing more exciting games to the Chinese Super League. Let's look forward to the performance of Shanghai Port in the new season and contribute to the development of Chinese football.
