In football, the start of each season comes with a lot of speculation and anticipation, especially for a team like SIPG with a strong squad and strong strength. Recently, Xu Genbao, a football celebrity, expressed his views on the prospects of SIPG's new season, believing that as long as foreign aid is in place, combined with the existing international strength, SIPG has the strength to impact the top three in the league. But in my opinion, this kind of ** is too conservative.
First of all, we can't ignore the existing strength of the SIPG team. From goalkeeper Yan Junling to the backline, to the midfielder and forward line, SIPG has strength to be reckoned with in all positions. As a top goalkeeper in China, Yan Junling has guarded the city gate for SIPG in key games many times. On the defensive line, whether it is the joining of left-back Li Shuai, or the tacit cooperation of central defenders Jiang Guangtai and Zhang Linpeng, SIPG's backline has become an insurmountable wall for opponents.
The quality of the midfield should not be overlooked。The addition of Brazilian ace Yousa is undoubtedly a significant reinforcement to SIPG's midfield. His arrival not only increased the defensive thickness of the team's midfield, but also formed a strong midfield linkage with Xu Xin and others, which was crucial for SIPG to control the pace of the game.
On the forward line, the addition of Gustavo made SIPG's offensive firepower more ferocious. As a K-League Golden Boot-caliber centre-forward, Gustavo's quality is unquestionable. His arrival means that SIPG will be more diversified on the offensive end and will no longer rely entirely on Wu Lei alone.
In addition to the individual strength of the players, the tactical execution of the team and the tactical set-up of the coaching team are equally crucial. The arrival of new coach Muscat brings with it a new tactical concept and training methods. His coaching performances with Yokohama Mariners last season have proven his ability and I believe he can make a bigger difference at SIPG.
Therefore, from the player configuration to the coaching team, SIPG is definitely a strong contender for the championship in the new season of the Chinese Super League. Although Xu Genbao's ** is cautious, in my opinion, SIPG's goal should be the championship, not just the top three. As a player, I am well aware of the uncertainty of each season, but I also believe that with good preparation and strong strength, SIPG is fully capable of going far in the new season and even reaching the top of the Chinese Super League.
Nothing is impossible in the round ball game of football. SIPG fans, let us look forward to and support together, and believe that our beloved team can bring us more surprises and happiness in the new season. After all, the charm of football lies in its indifference, but for SIPG, it is definitely a clear and feasible goal to challenge for the championship. Let's wait and see how SIPG writes its own glorious chapter in the new season.
