Due to the epidemic and the situation in Europe, Shanghai Seaport has been in the absence of almost the entire foreign coaching staff since it began to prepare for the new season.
On Saturday, Seaport coach Lecco finally entered China on a flight from Amsterdam to Guangzhou in the Netherlands. He also arrived on the same plane as Caports' Brazilian foreign aid Paulinho. They will be quarantined in Guangzhou in accordance with epidemic prevention regulations before flying to Shanghai.
During the time that Lecco was away from the team, the training of the Harbor team was basically carried out under the leadership of the club's deputy general manager Sun Xiang. As the head coach, Lecco keeps in touch with the team through online communication, formulates and arranges training plans, and keeps abreast of the training situation.
Lecco, who is already quarantined at the Guangzhou hotel, said, "Although I can't lead the team to training at the moment, I keep in touch with every player in the team every day." I'm paying attention to everything in training. I can't wait to meet you all. At the same time, I hope you will continue to protect your families. Together, I look forward to the arrival of the new season. ”
If all goes well, Lecco will lift the 14+7 quarantine as soon as April 8. According to the previous news that the Chinese Super League started on April 23, he really led the team to prepare for this year's season in only two weeks.
In addition, due to the impact of the epidemic, the training of the Harbor team throughout the preparation cycle of the walk-in training system is not so consistent, which will also become a difficulty for them at the beginning of the new season.
It is also worth mentioning that only Paulinho, the two Brazilian foreign aides of the Harbor team, has arrived in China, and López has not yet had the latest news. It also seems to indicate that the club may consider replacing the striker who is still recovering after a serious injury and is not very efficient after scoring goals, as previously rumored.
If Shanghai Harbour Club has the ambition to challenge double champion Shandong Taishan in the new season, then strengthening the forward line must be done.
At present, the foreign aid configuration of the Harbor team in the new season can only be determined to include Oscar and Paulinho, as well as Mui, who is infected with the new crown and misses the Australian national team's World Preliminary Round.
Whether there will be new foreign aides joining this winter transfer period, whether there will be the most high-level foreign aid center in the team's tactical system, the club is still tight-lipped. In the case of the club's excellent "confidential work", maybe everything is possible. Maybe there will be new foreign aid in addition to Paulinho who arrives with Lecco?
Of course, these are just speculations, but I believe that as the new season approaches, there will be official news from the shanghai seaport and beyond in the invocation side next month.
