In Chinese football, Brazilian foreign aid has always occupied an important position. Recently, according to Shanghai Shenhua team reporter Yang Yi, Shenhua is considering introducing a Brazilian striker Luiz of the Portuguese Super League, whose strength has become a household name in Ronaldo's hometown. The striker has scored seven goals in 17 games this season and is the team's leading scorer. Not only that, but he also has the status of a Brazilian player required by the Chinese Super League, and can play multiple positions as a central striker and right midfielder.
At present, each team in the Chinese Super League has its own strategy in terms of recruitment, especially Brazilian players have played an indispensable role in the Chinese Super League in recent years. Whether it is Wu Lei of Shanghai SIPG or Zeka of Shandong Taishan, their outstanding performance is inseparable from the assists of Brazilian players. Whether it's Malcom, Teixeira or Goulart, the importance of Brazil's foreign aid is self-evident.
For Shanghai Shenhua, Malele has been inconsistent at times, but he has always stepped up in key moments, such as a key assist in the 2023 FA Cup final. The addition of Luis may bring a new spark to Shenhua's forward line. His rivalry with Malele could create a chemistry that could bring out more potential. However, all this is premised on whether Shenhua can afford Luiz's transfer fee and high salary.
This deal is both an opportunity and a challenge for Shenhua. Whether Russian coach Slutsky's tactical system will fit into Luis, whether Malele will leave as a result, and whether the Jiushi Group will be willing to pay for the Brazilian striker are all open questions. 2024 will be a challenging season for Shenhua, who will be looking to break through on multiple fronts. So, can Shenhua successfully bring in the Portuguese Super League striker and bring new vitality to the team? #Shanghai Shenhua##Chinese Football##中超#
