Recently, some media reported that the former Chinese Super League overlord Guangzhou team was involved in an economic dispute case, was ruled by the local court to lose, and was forced to pay more than 10 million yuan in compensation. If in the Jin Yuan era, more than 10 million is nothing for Guangzhou, but in today's environment, Xu Jiayin himself is difficult to protect, has no intention and inability to invest in football, Guangzhou club is on the verge of bankruptcy, and has to pay a fine of 10 million, which is simply worse.
In the just-concluded Chinese Super League season, Guangzhou gave up foreign coaches and foreign aid, and under the leadership of veteran captain Zheng Zhi, relied on the young squad of the all-Chinese class to play. However, the reality is always cruel, and the Guangzhou team, which has won eight consecutive Chinese Super League titles and won the Asian Champions League twice, was quickly beaten back to its original shape without strong foreign assistance. At the end of the season, Guangzhou only scored 17 points, ranking second from the bottom and confirming relegation next season. As the core of the team, Wei Shihao has scored 6 goals this season and is the team's second scorer after Yang Liyu.
Even so, Wei Shihao seems unlikely to stay in Guangzhou, first of all, with his strength and fame, it is unlikely to play in the China League One. Secondly, Guangzhou's current financial situation is worrying, and it may not be able to continue to operate next season, and it may be disbanded if it is not done, and Wei Shihao does not want to be without a ball in the middle of the season. Of course, if Wei Shihao seeks a transfer, he should be able to find other Chinese Super League giants as his next home. Some time ago, some media people broke the news that the Taishan team had reached a consensus with Wei Shihao on the signing of a contract, and the two sides would sign a three-year contract. Just when everyone would think that Wei Shihao would return to the Shandong Taishan team, Wei Shihao's move attracted the attention of fans.
Recently, Wei Shihao flew to Portugal, Europe with his wife, and Wei Shihao's wife also posted her passport, in this case, Wei Shihao flew to Portugal with his girlfriend, which is intriguing. As everyone knows, Wei Shihao was a talented teenager in Chinese football in his early years, having played in Portugal, and his girlfriend was a Chinese student studying there. Now, Wei Shihao has gone around in a big circle and returned to the place where his dream began, it is difficult to say that he has no intention of staying in the ocean for the second time. It is currently in the winter window of European football transfers, and Chinese football has also entered the off-season, which is indeed an excellent time to discuss transfers. (But for now, no authoritative media has given clear information about Wei Shihao's stay in the ocean.) ）
However, it should be noted that Wei Shihao is 27 years old, no longer the football boy he was back then, and his potential to be tapped is very limited. What's more, Wei Shihao's growth is not as expected, and his overly unruly personality makes him always entangled in negative news and his on-field performance is affected. From the perspective of comprehensive ability, 27-year-old Wei Shihao is far inferior to 27-year-old Wu Lei, and it is difficult to say whether European teams take a fancy to him and are willing to provide opportunities. However, the possibility that he will have a second stay in the ocean is not ruled out.
