Because two consecutive seasons in the Chinese Super League ended, they were all asked for salaries by the players in the team, and Wuhan became one of the most controversial Chinese Super League clubs in the past two years.
Last season, the Wuhan team's action was quite big, not only invited li Xiaopeng, the winner of the two-time Chinese Super League Best Coach Award, to serve as the team's new manager, but also introduced a number of local reinforcements, the biggest of which was undoubtedly the former national football captain and active international player Arthur Junmin.
However, the comeback Wuhan team did not play the results the club expected, and they won only one game in the first half of the league last season. After Li Xiaopeng was promoted to the national team and Li Jinyu became the team's temporary manager, Wuhan ushered in a winning streak at the beginning of the second half of the league, thus laying a good foundation for relegation early.
Although he successfully completed the relegation task, soon after, Arthur Junmin publicly asked the club for a salary on social media, which also pushed the Wuhan team to the cusp of the storm again.
However, to this day, the club's salary arrears problem has not been completely solved, in this case, including Arthur Junmin, Huang Zichang, Yang Boyu, Zhao Hongluo, Han Pengfei and Dong Chunyu, six players will leave Wuhan this season.
Although the Wuhan team has become "notorious", there are still many players who flock to them. According to the latest news, 6 local players, including Hu Rentian, Li Peng, Zhang Zhenqiang and Hu Jiajia, have officially joined the Wuhan team recently.
Through this list of new recruits, it is not difficult for us to see that the Wuhan team's reinforcements are still very targeted. Zhang Zhenqiang's joining is mainly to fill the vacancy of the team's No. 2 goalkeeper position after Dong Chunyu left the team.
In the case of Yang Boyu and Han Pengfei leaving the team, former Shenhua defender Su Peng is likely to become the main force in the Wuhan team's defender line in the new season. In addition, Hu Rentian can also replace Arthur Junmin to a certain extent and take on the task of organizing attacks in the Midfield of Wuhan Team.
In addition, several foreign aides of the Wuhan team last season have also left the team. In the new season, if there is no extreme situation, Wuhan team is likely to no longer introduce new foreign aid, and they will participate in the Chinese Super League with an all-Chinese class lineup like the veteran Chinese Super League powerhouse Shanghai Shenhua.
Therefore, many fans are also very worried about whether Wuhan can successfully complete the relegation task next season, after all, the foreign aid in the previous 2 seasons of the team is in order, and the team is only thrillingly relegated at the last moment.
However, considering that the environment of the Chinese Super League is no longer what it used to be, it is not easy for many teams to qualify for playing in the Chinese Super League. The lineup of wuhan team's local players is still relatively neat, several veterans Li Xing, Liu Yun and tomorrow are still in the team, and the team's main framework has not been dispersed. Therefore, completing relegation this season should not be too much of a problem.
For Li Jinyu, in the case that Li Xiaopeng has no chance to return to the team, he has been officially appointed as the new manager of Wuhan. In the new season, whether Li Jinyu can pinch the Wuhan team into a whole and play the role of every player in the team will become the key to whether the Wuhan team can successfully complete the task of relegation.
