Although the Chinese Super League has not yet a specific start date, but in addition to the Shanghai Harbor team has been in preparation for the new season step by step, after several turbulences, Guangzhou team still retains some good team, Wei Shihao, Yang Liyu, Li Xuepeng, etc. will continue to stay in the team, and the naturalized center-back Jiang Guangtai, who was once offered a transfer fee of 35 million yuan, will also stay in the team, which is also several core backbones of the Guangzhou team in the new season.
After the transfer window closed, Guangzhou updated the first team list for the new season, of which the head coach is still Liu Zhiyu, but neither the players nor the coaching staff has Zheng Zhi's name, and there are 16 players. "Guangzhou Daily" pointed out in the report that Guangzhou team will play in the Chinese Super League in the new season in a real "all-Chinese class" way, and the well-known players who are currently staying in the team are yan Dinghao and Wu Shaocong, two excellent young players, in addition to the few people mentioned at the beginning.
Jiang Guangtai and Gao Zhunyi once applied for arbitration in order to seek freedom to leave the team, but unlike Gao Zhunyi, who gave up part of his salary and gave up arbitration to leave the team, Jiang Guangtai chose to stay in the team because the Football Association allowed clubs with arrears of wages to repay the arrears of wages in a gradual way. When referring to the departing players, guangzhou daily specifically mentioned Zhang Linpeng, and the description of Zhang Linpeng's departure in the article was "the most lamented by Guangzhou fans is that the harbor team finally won The day and night Zhang Linpeng, plus Xu Xin, booked the championship in advance."
Last season, Shandong Taishan was the biggest rival to Shanghai Harbor, and now the strength of the Shanghai Harbor team's back line has increased greatly after strengthening Zhang Linpeng and Xu Xin's two big powers, and Xu Xin has directly poached from Taishan, which has directly weakened the strength of Taishan to a certain extent.
Whether Shanghai Harbor can win the championship in the new season is difficult to say, but it is strong enough in terms of paper strength, and the team's value compared to the 29ers' Shanghai Harbor's 35.7 million euros is more than twice that of the 35-man Taishan team's 17.65 million euros, and even the newly promoted Chinese Super League team Wuhan Sanzhen's 18.15 million euros also surpassed the Taishan team.
