The striker is reborn!Shenhua hunts for the Golden Boot, a challenge blocked by the AFC (Part I).
As a football lover, especially a fan who supports Chinese football, it is undoubtedly sad to see that my team has repeatedly put on a dilemma of "wanting to advance and retreat" in domestic competitions. However, while we are applauding the outstanding performance of the Shanghai Shenhua football team this season, we also have to face the reality: our forward line is really a hard bone.
In fact, after Shanghai Shenhua took over Jiushi Group, it struggled several times and finally ushered in a first-scale recovery. Wu Jingui's team have been solid, finishing fifth in the league this season and beating Shandong Taishan in the FA Cup final to win the title, which can be described as a mixed blessing. However, it is their forward line that is holding back Shenhua's continued progress.
Our concerns about the team's forward line are not unfounded. Behind the 15 victories, there are many difficult scenes of one-goal small victories, which are not only Wu Jingui's more conservative tactics, but also inseparable from the performance of the striker players. Although Malele tried his best as the main striker, his shortcomings in shooting footwork and seizing opportunities often made fans feel embarrassed. And another foreign striker, Basogo, has frequent injuries and has only scored two league goals in a season, which has made the team's forward line even worse.
Faced with the problem of the forward line, Shanghai Shenhua took a stand and was determined to make changes next season. At the moment, they urgently need to bring in a foreign striker with experience in the Chinese Super League and plug-and-play. Among the many options, it has recently been rumored that Shenhua is interested in bringing in Leonardo, the Chinese Super League Golden Boot this season, which is really exciting.
Leonardo has changed teams with an unusual frequency in the past season, however, that hasn't stopped him from winning the Super League Golden Boot this season. Although the player failed to impress the Tarzan manager, his goalscoring results caught the attention of many teams. It is reported that the Zhejiang team had intended to buy out Leonardo's contract, however, the Taishan team offered a transfer fee of up to $2 million, which discouraged the Zhejiang team. This also gives the Shenhua team, who are looking for a new striker, an opportunity.
Shenhua's introduction of Leonardo seems to be a matter of course, however, at the moment, they face an obstacle that cannot be underestimated - the AFC.
The content of the article needs to be continued, and the follow-up part will continue to ** Shenhua's AFC problems and challenges in bringing in Leonardo. ）
