In recent years, Chongming Island has become a treasure trove in Chinese football, and one of those highly respected figures is Xu Genbao. The legend of Shanghai football circle, Xu Genbao, has been known as a master-level existence. The new presidents of the Football Association have all visited Xu Genbao on Chongming Island to listen to his opinions and suggestions.
Every year during the Spring Festival, the players of Shanghai's two Chinese Super League teams go to Chongming Island to ask Xu Genbao for advice and celebrate his birthday. This traditional ceremony has become an annual event. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the players of the Harbour Club, including Wu Lei, Zhang Linpeng and others, will go to visit Xu Genbao; And the seventh day of the first month, it is a player of the Shenhua Club, led by the club's president, and Zhu.
Fifth, Jiang Si and others went to pay New Year's greetings together.
However, during this year's New Year's and Birthday celebrations, fans found a striking absence - former Shenhua head coach Wu Jingui. Wu Jingui is also a well-known coach in Shanghai football, having won the FA Cup twice and the last A-League title (although it was later cancelled). If he can lead the team to win the Chinese Super League championship again, then his status may even surpass Xu Genbao and become another legend of Shanghai football.
In 2024, Wu Jingui is full of ambition and is eager to lead the Shenhua team to win the Chinese Super League championship. However, fate unexpectedly turned against him, and the Shenhua Club did not renew his contract. This news sparked heated discussions among ** and fans. At first, people thought that Shenhua had no plans to win the championship, so they no longer cooperated with Wu Jingui. However, with the club's big moves to bring in big signings and hire a Russian coach, fans found themselves on the wrong side of the story. It turned out that Shenhua was very eager to win the championship, and not renewing his contract with Wu Jingui was part of that goal.
It is particularly worth mentioning that in just a few months after the new head coach Slutsky took office, the Shenhua team has undergone earth-shaking changes. His outstanding performance in the warm-up match of the Middle East Equality Cup has made most fans gradually forget about Wu Jingui, and even his die-hard fans have quieted down.
Although Wu Jingui did not attend the New Year's and birthday celebrations on Chongming Island, this is not surprising. After all, other people in Shanghai's football circle, such as Fan Zhiyi and Qi Hong, did not go, but attended Xie Hui's wedding. Similarly, Xu Genbao did not attend Xie Hui's wedding.
The reason why Xu Genbao did not attend Xie Hui's wedding is also reasonable. After all, he is old, and he has to take care of the children at home during the Spring Festival.
Although Wu Jingui and the others did not travel to Chongming Island, they should have expressed their blessings to Xu Genbao through ** or WeChat, there is no doubt about it.
If Wu Jingui is still the head coach of Shenhua, he is likely to go to Chongming Island with the team on the seventh day of the new year. Even though he has left this position, his heart is still tied to football. I believe that one day, when the two teams in Shanghai need him, he will stand up without hesitation and fight for his dream of winning the Chinese Super League championship. For Wu Jingui, only by winning the championship will his heart be truly at peace.
Also with the dream of winning the championship is Cao Yunding of the Shenhua team. Recently, he said in a live broadcast that he will play for at least another two years and hopes to lead Shenhua to win the Chinese Super League championship. If he fails to win the title in two years, he may consider playing for another year.
Both Wu Jingui and Cao Yunding are eager to prove themselves. Wu Jingui hopes to prove that he is not inferior to Xu Genbao, while Cao Yunding hopes to prove that he is not inferior to Wu Lei and others.
They are all people with dreams, and they are all people who dare to pursue them.
