Watching the Qingdao Manatee team's action this time, I am really excited and looking forward to it. From the end of the Spring Festival holiday, the whole team went to Suzhou to prepare for the new season of the Chinese Super League, to sign five foreign aids, and then to lock in four domestic aids, the preparation of the Manatees is really eye-catching. Especially when I heard that Brazilian midfielder Diego López will also be joining, it was the icing on the cake.
I remember at the end of last year, everyone was worried about whether the Manatees would be able to get in and whether the inside would be able to strengthen the team's weak links. Now it seems that both the club and the coaching staff have done a lot of work to find the right players from the domestic and foreign markets. Kangua, Saric, Milovic, Martin and the upcoming Lopez, the arrival of these five foreign players will undoubtedly bring a new strength to the Manatees.
In terms of domestic aid, the joining of Hu Jinghang and Li Hailong, plus Wang Zihao and Zheng Zhiyun, the arrival of these four players is also quite powerful. In particular, Wang Zihao, who started 28 games in the Chinese League last season, scored nine goals and provided two assists, and his addition will undoubtedly enhance the offensive firepower of the Manatees. And Zheng Zhiyun's addition to the left-back position also solves a pain point for the team.
Although the club still has regrets in the domestic aid market, a Qingdao international striker failed to join due to transfer problems, but seeing the club prepare for the new season so carefully, I think it is enough. Soccer is always full of uncertainties, but as long as the team can combine the strengths of new and old players and perform at the level they deserve, then we have every reason to expect surprises from the Manatees in the upcoming season.
Now that the team is making final preparations in Suzhou, I am confident that under the leadership of the coaching staff, every player will quickly integrate into the team and bring out the best in them. As a Qingdao fan, I am looking forward to the arrival of the new season and the wonderful performance of the Manatees in the Chinese Super League. Come on, Qingdao Manatee, in the new season, let's rush forward together!
