A few days ago, Shenhua's foreign aid Manafa revealed for the first time in an exclusive interview with the media that Shenhua wanted to win the Chinese Super League championship this season. Manafa said that teammate Teixeira spoke highly of Shanghai Shenhua and the city, and he told himself that Shenhua wanted to be champions this year. Manafa's revelations also made Shenhua unexpectedly become the first giant team to publicly confirm that it would win the championship in the Chinese Super League. Judging from Shenhua's performance in the first three rounds of the Chinese Super League, the team does have the capital and confidence to win the championship.
In fact, from a series of recruitment actions in the transfer market before Shenhua started in the Chinese Super League, Shanghai fans knew that the team must be doing something big in the new season. First of all, Shenhua has made a big move in local reinforcements that is the envy of other Chinese Super League teams. In order to strengthen the midfield, Shenhua directly spent 9 million to buy Xie Pengfei from Wuhan Three Towns. Xie Pengfei has become the local standard of the Chinese Super League this season, and his performance after joining the team has also proved what is worth the money.
At the same time, Gao Tianyi, who Shenhua introduced from Guoan for free, finally broke out in the last round of Shenhua's away challenge to Luneng after a period of adaptation. Xie Pengfei and Gao Tianyi were able to plug and play soon after joining Shenhua, which raised the team's local lineup to a higher level. Secondly, the reinforcement effect of Shenhua's foreign aid is also immediate. Shenhua's introduction of foreign aid is based on the principle of preferring shortage to excess, and introduced center forward Luiz and right-back Manafa respectively.
Fans who are familiar with Shenhua know that the team's center forward and right back positions are very weak. Before joining Shenhua, Luis had a consistent performance in the Portuguese Super League. After Luis came to Shenhua, he showed great adaptability. Whenever Shenhua was in a stalemate in the game, Luis was always the first to step up and put on a good show to turn the tide. Now, Luis has become the Shenhua Golden Boot, allowing the team to completely get rid of the problem of lack of strikers. In order to strengthen the right back, Shenhua directly finalized the addition of foreign aid Manafa.
Shenhua's decision to recruit surprised many fans. Because, Chinese Super League teams rarely put valuable foreign aid places in the full-back position. The reason why Shenhua dares to be the first in the world is that she is very confident in Manafa's ability. Manafa has played for the Champions League giants and his overall strength is outstanding. When this flying wing represented Shenhua in the game, he also showed superior strength and quickly conquered the fans. In the end, Shenhua's invitation to the Russian Premier League coach Slutsky also proved to be the right choice. After Slutsky became the head coach of Shenhua, his on-the-spot command and ability to arrange troops won the recognition of fans. To sum up, as long as Shenhua continues to be in excellent form in the future, it is not a fool's dream to win the Chinese Super League championship.
