SIPG has been under the leadership of new coach Muscat during this time, and is going all out for the upcoming Super Cup. SIPG's opponent in the Super Cup is the city's rival Shenhua, so the team has only one goal, which is to go all out to win the championship. In order to ensure that they can beat Shenhua in the Super Cup, SIPG has found three strong reinforcements from the transfer market. Center Gustavo, midfielder Yusa, and local striker Shen Zigui have all joined hands and have been officially confirmed.
Gustavo and Yousa, as the key foreign players brought in by SIPG, should have no suspense when they started in the Super Cup against Shenhua. First of all, there is a shortage of people in the central striker position of SIPG, which the team brought in the quality of Pinco and Joao last season. As a result, after Pinco and Joao joined SIPG, they did not provoke the team's pillars, but encountered difficulties in adapting to the soil.
Therefore, Pinco and Joao were officially sent away by SIPG after the end of the Chinese Super League last season. SIPG brought in Gustavo in the centre-forward position, and the Super Cup was the litmus test of his level. With the addition of Gustavo to local center Li Shenglong, it is confirmed that he will not be able to play in the Super Cup between SIPG and Shenhua. Li Shenglong will be on standby as a substitute wonder, which is also worth looking forward to.
Yusa occupies SIPG's main midfield, and his arrival will reduce Cai Huikang to a substitute. Cai Huikang was unable to play the main team in the second half of SIPG's game last season. Cai Huikang, who was born in 89, is already a 35-year-old veteran, and it is reasonable that his form and performance have declined significantly. Therefore, Cai Huikang, the meritorious captain of SIPG, played as a substitute for the new signing Yousa, and fans and the media will not be surprised.
In the end, there is no suspense that the substitute for the central defender position of SIPG was abandoned. He Xi has been reduced to a substitute in SIPG in the past two seasons and has not been able to lock in the main team in the game. For this reason, He Xi has also been loaned out of the team many times, which is a surprise to many fans. It is hoped that after SIPG plays with a new lineup, it can successfully defeat its opponent Shenhua and win the first championship of the 2024 season.
