The special reporter said that after the Spring Festival in previous years, the clubs of the Chinese Super League basically entered the stage of a vigorous arms race, but due to the lack of wages of most teams, the fiasco of the national football world preliminary round in Vietnam, and the uncertainty of the start time of the new season, the attention before the start of the Chinese Super League this year can be described as the freezing point. However, this does not hinder the enthusiasm and enthusiasm of the promoted horse Wuhan Three Towns to prepare for the new season, they have begun winter training as early as before the festival, and are carrying out reinforcements step by step, looking forward to making a splash in the new season.
In the past few seasons, whether it is preparing for the Central Championship, the Second Division or the Central League, the three towns have been one of the earliest teams in China to start winter training, and this year is no exception. After participating in the Chinese First Division for the first time last year and rushing to the championship status, the three towns and first team only took 25 days off, and began winter training on January 17, just before the festival. Compared with most Chinese Super League clubs that only start winter training after the festival, Sanzhen is half a month earlier than them, which also shows their importance to the new season of the Chinese Super League.
At present, the three towns and first team in Wuhan Tazihu base for winter training, the coaching staff is still last year's team of Spanish coach Pedro, who led the team to surpass the success, the players are currently only domestic players, most of them are in the team last season, such as Ren Hang, Liu Yiming, Zhang Xiaobin, Lu Haidong, Zhang Wentao and other important players.
In terms of new domestic aid, there is no confirmed news for the time being, but with reference to the introduction of domestic aid in the three towns last year, coupled with the poor living conditions of other Chinese Super League clubs and the good reputation of the three towns not owing wages, the quality of their internal aid will only be higher in the new season.
In terms of foreign aid, last season's foreign aid EdMilson in the team returned to China a few years ago and is still in quarantine; last year's top scorer Ogbu and three towns still have a one-year contract, on the 8th, three towns also wished him a happy 31st birthday through social media, and it is expected that he will also return to the team in the near future; Malcolm joined the three towns in the middle of last year, is one of the heroes of the team's rush, as a top player who has been popular in the Chinese Super League, if there is no accident, he will play in the Chinese Super League with the team.
Although there are already three foreign aides, the three towns have not stopped looking for excellent new foreign aid, and the most rumored foreign aid in the entire Chinese Super League is the three towns.
At present, there are three foreign aides who are rumored to be closer to the three towns, the first is Santos of the Turkish Super League Malatya Sports Team, the 27-year-old Brazilian defender has reached a height of 1 meter 91, and has played for Monaco in Ligue 1, Lazio in Serie A, Braga in the Portuguese Super League and Malatya Sports in the Turkish Super League, which are basically the main players. If Santos can join, the three towns can improve the team's defensive hardness, in addition, his cost performance is also higher, Turkish media revealed that his transfer fee for joining the three towns is about 250,000 euros, you know, Braga bought him from Cruzeiro in 2014 for 9.5 million euros.
The other two most likely foreign players to join the three towns are from the front, namely the Striker Strachu in Slavia Prague and the Turkish Super League striker Davidson of Alanya. The 28-year-old Stato, an active Romanian international who can pass and shoot in the front and has a lot of experience, in early February, he fought back against the criticism of the Romanian media reporter "mercenaries" to tell him not to talk nonsense; 31-year-old Davidson, from Brazil, has scored 18 goals and contributed 7 assists in the Turkish Super League in the last season and a half, and is equally strong.
Three towns gossip new signings Starchu
If these three foreign aides can successfully join the three towns, it will definitely enhance the team's immediate combat strength, of course, this also means that at least one of the three old foreign aides will be eliminated.
It is understood that the three towns will finalize the introduction of internal and external assistance as soon as possible, so that the team can neatly carry out winter training. Due to the cold weather in Wuhan, the team has gone to Hainan yesterday for the next stage of training, and the new signings will also meet with the team one after another, and the team will also find suitable opponents to warm up.
In addition, other preparations for the club are also underway: in terms of bases, the club will soon be relocated from the Tazihu base to a new training base , the Wuhan Optics Valley Football Base located next to the provincial Olympic Sports; on the home side, if the Chinese Super League resumes the home-and-away system in the new season, the home stadium is most likely set at the Zhuankou Sports Center, which is more familiar to Wuhan fans...
