The trust and expectation behind the new contract

Mondo Sports Updated on 2024-02-11

Recently, under the leadership of new coach Muscat, the performance of the SIPG team in the warm-up game has opened the eyes of fans. Especially He Xi, a veteran who was once rumored to be about to switch to the Taishan team, once again wore the SIPG jersey to participate in these warm-up games. Judging from this detail, He Xi is obviously still a member of our SIPG, and the contract of the Taishan team seems to be just a rumor.

He Xi's contract expired at the end of last season, and due to the frequent changes in the central defender position of SIPG, he gradually lost his main position and became a substitute. In order not to continue to be a substitute in SIPG, He Xi has actively sought loan opportunities, and his footprints have been all over Yatai and Wuhan Three Towns. However, no matter which team he is in, He Xi's performance is quite good. Especially in the three towns of Wuhan, although they wanted to buy out He Xi, they did not negotiate in the end because of salary issues. So, He Xi returned to Shanghai Port.

For a veteran who has played for SIPG for many years, He Xi does face an important choice. Although the invitation of the Tarzan team was tempting, he finally chose to stay. The attitude of SIPG's top management is also very clear, so that He Xi does not need to be in a hurry, and will make a decision after the new coach Muscat takes office. Obviously, Muscat spoke highly of Hexi's ability, which directly contributed to the contract renewal of both parties.

The signing of the new contract is not only SIPG's recognition of He's ability, but also a reward for his loyalty. SIPG's challenge next season is not small, and the role of He Xi will become more important in the two-front battle of the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League. Especially considering Zhang Linpeng's advanced age and frequent injuries, He Xi's stable appearance has become an inevitable choice for the team.

The annual salary after He Xi stayed in the team is also a satisfactory part, which shows how much SIPG attaches importance to him. The most anticipated thing is whether He Xi's performance in the new season can help SIPG achieve better results in the Chinese Super League and AFC Champions League. He Xi's stay is not only a new starting point for his career, but also a manifestation of SIPG's trust and expectation. I hope that He Xi can bring us more wonderful performances in the new season, and respond to this trust and expectation with strength.
