Shanghai Shenhua Football Club announced that it would not renew the contracts with players Basogo, Yan Xinli, Peng Xinli, and Liu Ruofan, which immediately attracted the attention and discussion of fans. These four players have all contributed to different degrees during their time at Shenhua, but due to various reasons, the two sides finally chose not to continue the relationship.
Basogo, the Brazilian striker, has played 56 games for the team since joining Shenhua in 2021, scoring 11 goals. His speed and technique pose a threat to the team, especially when it comes to receiving and penetrating, and he has been outstanding. However, his individual performances did not quite fit in with the team's overall performance, which made him a point of contention among some fans.
Yan Xinli, the young midfielder, joined Shenhua in 2023 and made 29 appearances. Although he showed some potential and skill in the competition, he still needs more experience and improvement in his performance. In the case of fierce competition in the overall team, the management chose not to renew Yan Xinli's contract to find better development opportunities for him.
Peng Xinli, the powerful centre-back, joined Shenhua in 2019 and made 87 appearances and scored eight goals. His defensive awareness and playmaking skills have played a key role in the team, but his form has slipped in recent times. Not renewing Peng Xinli's contract may be for the team to introduce younger and more powerful players to improve the overall competitiveness of the team.
Liu Ruofan, the winger, joined Shenhua in 2017 and made 74 appearances and scored five goals. His pace and ability to break through caused a lot of problems for opponents, while also presenting some attacking threats to the team. However, due to some force majeure reasons such as injuries, his recent performance has not been consistent, which has made the team management doubt about his contract extension.
The Shenhua team seems to be brewing an earth-shattering adjustment! According to the latest news, they have let go of four well-known players at once, and in addition to the change of coach, it seems that this time it is really going to be a earth-shaking change! Now we already know that the Brazilian center forward of the Portuguese Premier League, Andre Luiz, will officially join the Shenhua camp in the near future, and this is a major recruitment operation involving specific transfer fees!
On the other hand, Gao Tianyi, an international player from Beijing Guoan, will also come to Shenhua to play! No matter considering his youthful vitality or strength level, his arrival will undoubtedly significantly improve the strength of Shenhua's local players!
Shanghai Shenhua Football Club's non-renewal of the contracts of these four players is not because they have not contributed, but on the contrary, they have all performed well in their positions. However, the world of football is so cruel and unpredictable, the team needs to be constantly updated and improved, and the players need to seek better development opportunities.
The editor believes that Shanghai Shenhua Football Club would like to thank Basogo, Yan Xinli, Peng Xinli and Liu Ruofan for their contributions to the team, and wish them continued success in their future careers. At the same time, fans are also looking forward to the team being able to play with a stronger lineup in the new season, bringing more exciting games and the joy of victory to everyone!
