Yesterday was the day when the first domestic transfer window of the 2022 Chinese Super League season was closed, and 8 players who were loaned last season, including Jiang Shenglong, Zhou Junchen, Liu Ruovan, Sun Qinhan, Zhu Jianrong, Jin Yangyang, Cong Zhen and Xu Yougang, were confirmed to return. As for shenhua's first-team list for the new season, it will be finalized and reported to the Chinese Football Association before May 5.
In the first two seasons, Shenhua introduced a group of veterans with rich competition experience, and at the same time loaned young players such as Jiang Shenglong, Zhou Junchen and Liu Ruovan to train outside the country. In the first stage of the league last year, Shenhua's performance was not satisfactory, the team unexpectedly fell into the relegation group, and the club's strategy was adjusted accordingly. In the second stage of the league, the team used young players such as Wang Haijian, Wang Yi and He Longhai, giving them many opportunities to play and exercise. In this context, the return of U23 young generals such as Jiang Shenglong, Zhou Junchen, Liu Ruovan, and Sun Qinhan will also go with the flow.
Zhu Jianrong was loaned to Qingdao last season, and this season Qingdao has withdrawn from the Chinese Professional Football League. Zhu Jianrong's return can enrich Shenhua's forward strength. Foreign striker Dunbia, who joined Shenhua in the middle of the league last season, has sent a farewell to Shenhua, and Yang Xu has not been able to find his form after joining Shenhua. Judging from the performance of last season, Wu Jingui has a lot of experience in the use of Zhu Jianrong. Under Wu Jingui's command, Zhu Jianrong has performed very well, and now the two will work together again in Shenhua.
At the beginning of last year, Jin Yangyang joined Shenhua due to Zhu Chenjie's long absence from surgery. However, after coming to Shenhua, he did not have many opportunities to play, and later went on loan to Tianjin Jinmen Tiger. This season, foreign support center-back Jonić left the team, and Li Songyi joined Kunshan due to fifa's ban on transfer failure, so Jin Yangyang, who returned to Shenhua, should serve as a substitute for the team's center-back in the new season.
Under Flores' command, Cong Zhen has won many opportunities to play, but in the position of the back, Shenhua has Wu Xi, Peng Xinli, Sun Shilin, Qian Jiezhi and other players, and the competition is very fierce. Last season, Cong Zhen was loaned to Wuhan.
Xu Yougang had a good performance in Shenhua and scored a goal in the match against the original Chinese Super League overlord Guangzhou (Guangzhou Evergrande), but gradually lost his position in Shenhua after participating in the training of the national football training team, and has been on loan for two years.
According to the regulations of the Chinese Football Association, the number of first-team players of each Chinese Super League club in the 2022 season is 18 to 35, and the cumulative total number of players in the whole year will not exceed 45. Although the Football Association has introduced a compensation policy for the recruitment of U23 national football players, because the current U23 national football team is not in the training competition period, Shenhua, a large transporter of U23 national football, cannot enjoy this policy at this stage, and the total number of applicants for the Shenhua first team is still 35 (including 5 foreign aides). The FOOTBALL Association requires teams to confirm the first-team registration list by May 5.
