Reporter Lu Mi, special reporter said that the report last season of the Chinese League A was not affected by the national team preparations, steadily completed the schedule, the Chinese League A team also showed their ability well, in the super league play-offs, Chengdu Rongcheng, Zhejiang Greentown respectively defeated Dalian and Qingdao team, completed the miracle of 4 Chinese league team promotion. In the new Chinese Super League season, the four teams of promoted horses all hope to gain a firm foothold.
Wuhan three towns promoted to the Chinese Super League as the first in the Chinese League, the goal seems to be not only relegation, they are the earliest team assembled in the whole Chinese Super League, they are also the first team to finalize internal and external assistance, on the day of the Lantern Festival, they officially announced the news of the three foreign aides joining, the internal aid level also targeted Liu Dianzuo, Deng Hanwen, two Guangzhou team internationals, in the context of two consecutive years of calmer transfer market, their activity seems to be a little different, so invested, such an action, showing that they have higher ambitions at the performance level.
Everything is done in front, which is the style of doing things in the three towns of Wuhan. From the day of its formation, before competing in leagues at all levels, the preparation of this team has been quite good, which is also the key to their rapid success - at the end of 2018, it was renamed Wuhan Sanzhen Football Club; in 2019, it entered the Chinese Second League; in 2020, it became the champion of the Chinese Second Division; and in 2021, it became the champion of the Chinese First Division and was promoted to the Chinese Super League.
In the 2021 season, Wuhan Sanzhen finalized Ogb who played in Sweden and Edmirson, who played in Japan, as well as Judson, who had killed four parties in Shandong Luneng; in terms of internal assistance, he signed goalkeeper Geng Xiaofeng, defender Liu Yiming, former international Ren Hang and Rong Hao, as well as RosenWen, Liu Yue, Zhang Wentao, Yang Kuo, Yin Yaji, Zhang Xiaobin and other pawnbrokers who have played in the Chinese Super League for many years and have rich experience in the Game.
In the winter transfer alone, 19 new signings were introduced, and in the summer transfer window, strong reinforcements such as Malcom joined. It can be said that after the introduction of personnel last year, the three towns of Wuhan have built a lineup of Chinese Super League standards. The head of the club has been interviewed by the media, saying that the annual budget of the club's investment in youth training exceeds that of the first team, showing that the club has made meticulous arrangements and has a long-term vision, not just a few years of gains and losses, but as a long-term project to roll out.
After becoming a Chinese Super League team, Wuhan Sanzhen continued their "advance" habit. Just 25 days off, on January 17, when other Chinese Super League teams were still on holiday, the three towns in Wuhan had already assembled and began their winter training, at this time, when the new season of the Chinese Super League will begin, there is no more certainty. On February 9, the team arrived in Haikou to begin the second phase of winter training.
The introduction of players was the first work of the three towns. Long after the success of the overtaking, the club's staff has been observing the players and advancing the introduction. After nearly a month of hard work, the three towns have finalized three new foreign aides, namely defender Wallace, midfielder Stancho and forward Davidson, one in front of the middle and one in the back, which will form a new central axis.
Brazilian defender Santos, 27, is from the Turkish Super League Malatilla Sport and has previously played for Monaco in Ligue 1, Lazio in Serie A and Braga in the Portuguese Super League. The purpose of the three towns to bring him in was clear, hoping that the 1.91-meter-tall defender would bring height and hardness to the defensive line. It is worth mentioning that since his contract with his old club Malatya Sport expires at the end of June, his transfer fee to the three towns is low, only about 250,000 euros, which is extremely cost-effective, you know, his transfer fee when he transferred from Braga to Lazio in 2016 was 8 million euros.
Romanian midfielder Stanchu, from Slavia Prague in the Czech Republic, is currently 28 years old, wearing the number 7 shirt, he is the core of the club, and has become the best foreign aid in the Czech League for two consecutive seasons after joining the team in 2019, contributing 3 goals and 5 assists in 21 appearances so far this season. He is a core player in the Romanian national team, making 54 appearances in the national team and having 11 goals and 8 assists. Stancho is not tall, but he is technically comprehensive, can shoot, has strong physical confrontation ability and has a wealth of experience in the game, and will become the midfield commander of the three towns.
Davidson, a 30-year-old Brazilian striker with a height of 1.77 metres, has emerged after moving to Guimarães in the Portuguese Premier League in 2018, having been a mainstay for both seasons and was once one of the MVP candidates in the Portuguese Premier League. In August 2020, he continued to perform well after moving to Alanya Sport in the Turkish Super League, playing in 64 games and contributing 18 goals and 7 assists. His addition will further strengthen the attack power of the three towns, and it is possible to match with Malcom to form a high and fast attack combination.
Of course, the process of foreign invocation was not smooth, and it also encountered the rejection of the favorite foreign aid, such as the Brazilian midfielder Junier of the Yokohama Mariners and the Brazilian striker Leandro of FC Tokyo, who after some thought said that he was reluctant to play in China for the time being. The three towns did a good job in attracting reinforcements, and after the two candidates could not come to China, they quickly launched negotiations on other candidates, and finally after comprehensive consideration in many aspects, three foreign aides were finally finalized.
At the same time as the official announcement of the three new foreign aides joining, the three town officials announced the departure of the old foreign aid Ogbu, and he will transfer to the South Korean K League powerhouse Pohang Iron and Steel. The Nigerian striker scored 19 goals and five assists for the three towns last season and is one of the three towns.
Last season's foreign player Edmilson has now returned to China and will meet the team after the quarantine is over, while Malcom is still waiting in Brazil to return. The three new foreign aides are not first-line stars, but they are by no means unknown, and the characteristics of the three towns are quite clear - cost-effective, distinctive, experienced, and successful. On the one hand, I hope that after the foreign aid comes, it can improve the team's immediate combat strength, on the other hand, I hope that they can stay in the team for a long time. The three towns have gradually formed their own unique set of reinforcement systems.
Sanzhen asked the new foreign aid to come to China as soon as possible and run into the team. It is reported that Wallace and Davidson, who are also in Brazil, have flown to China yesterday, stancho will arrive in the near future, and if there is no accident, they will soon meet the three towns.
There wasn't much domestic player turnover last year, and many clubs and players were actually on the sidelines. For the club, on the one hand, it is waiting for the progress and prospects of its own club share reform, on the other hand, the specific rules of the new season salary restriction order and investment restriction order that the Chinese Football Association will introduce are related to how the club's reinforcement budget is formulated. For the players, they want to know more about the survival of the club and the investment situation, after all, in the Chinese football circle, wage arrears have become a phenomenon, and players certainly do not want to transfer to a team with more serious wage arrears.
The three towns in Wuhan also made advance preparations at the inlet level, and set some target candidates earlier, including some international-level players.
According to the current understanding of the situation, the first to lock in the Wuhan three towns is The Guangzhou team's full-back Deng Hanwen, in addition, there is the national team goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo.
Last month, Deng Hanwen also posted a "thank you for these four years" on his personal Weibo, and his four-year contract with Guangzhou expired. In the second stage of the 2021 season of the Chinese Super League, after the guangzhou team's match against the harbor team, Deng Hanwen walked out of the Tianhe Stadium in casual clothes and was warmly welcomed by the fans, Deng Hanwen faced the fans, bowed deeply, and could not help but shed tears, he met the fans' request for photo autographs, at that time, there was speculation that Deng Hanwen would leave the Guangzhou team, but the destination was undecided. After a period of exchanges, the three towns of Wuhan and he have a sense of identity with each other. Deng Hanwen, 27, may soon complete the transfer.
According to the German Transfer Market, Liu Dianzuo's contract with Guangzhou will end on March 1, 2022, and he will soon become a free agent, according to normal procedures, to complete the procedures for joining the new team before mid-April.
Liu Dianzuo, from Yi Teng's youth training, has played for Yi Teng and Nanchang, transferred to Guangzhou R&F in 2015, and a year later, he joined Guangzhou Evergrande until the end of the 2021 season. Currently, he is training with the national team and participating in the round of 12.
Guangzhou team's own situation is not yet clear, in addition to Liu Dianzuo, Deng Hanwen, there are many players who will expire their contracts, such as Liao Lisheng, etc., they are also the focus of many teams, before, the contract expired Mei Fang has also announced through social media that his 7-year Career in Guangzhou has come to an end, his whereabouts also seem to be related to Wuhan, as for which team in Wuhan, you need to wait for clear news.
The three towns of Wuhan took the lead in finalizing two strong reinforcements, the work advanced quite quickly, and in the future, they will also supplement other positions in the domestic market. In the new season, the three towns of Wuhan, where the lineup is further strengthened, are worth looking forward to.
