Shenhua Super League summer window introduction conjecture: Wu Shaocong helped the Slutsky dynasty
In this season's Chinese Super League, Shanghai Shenhua has performed brilliantly, not only ranking among the best, but also gaining recognition from a large number of fans. And the contribution to this is the coach Slutsky, who coaches the team. The experienced foreign coach is well versed in the operation of Chinese football, coupled with scientific management concepts and flexible tactical arrangements, which allows Shenhua to be sometimes steady and sometimes mobile on the field, showing breathtaking offensive and confrontational power.
With the summer window of the Chinese Super League approaching, according to internal sources, Slutsky intends to strengthen the tactical puzzle in his hands during the offseason. Let's find out where the boss will bring in new signings.
The left-back has a short gap to be filled
First, let's review Shenhua's current squad composition. Through the carefully planned reinforcement some time ago, most of the team's main positions have high-level domestic and foreign aid, and their strength can be regarded as one of the best in the Chinese Super League. But the obvious shortcoming is at left-back.
At present, Shenhua's first choice for left-back is Wu Shaocong, who is playing in his year. The defender has a wealth of experience in the Chinese Super League, can play both left-back and central defender roles, and has had a number of impressive performances. His career also saw a brief period in Europe, playing in the Turkish First Division. Unfortunately, due to injuries, Wu Shaocong failed to continue to stand firm in the Turkish Super League.
Now Wu Shaocong has just fallen into a career trough, and it is a good time for Shenhua to extend an olive branch and include him under his command. For Wu Shaocong personally, returning to the Chinese Super League and joining the strong Shenhua can undoubtedly allow him to regain his strength and regain a stable opportunity to play in the national team. After all, Zhu Chenjie and Jiang Shenglong, who were selected for the international team at the same time as Wu, have now achieved a solid position in Shenhua and the national football team.
Therefore, from the perspective of cooperation between the two sides, Shenhua and Wu Shaocong are an excellent "match made in heaven". For Shenhua, Wu Shaocong can undoubtedly make up for the shortcomings of the left side of the defensive line; And Wu Shaocong can also regain confidence in Shenhua and get a more generous salary package. Once the two join forces, it will definitely lead to a win-win situation.
Slutsky favored Wu Shaocong
According to sources, Slutsky has a very positive attitude towards Wu Shaocong joining Shenhua. Of course, the head coach took a fancy to Wu Shaocong's excellent individual skills and rich game experience. What's more, as a foreign coach, Slutsky is extremely favored by a local player at the international level like Wu Shaocong.
The existence of a "leader" like Wu Shaocong can undoubtedly stabilize the core of the team and reduce the pressure on foreign aid. At a critical moment, having such an experienced and high-spirited international player in the formation is of great significance to enhance the cohesion and morale of the team. Moreover, Wu Shaocong is currently at the peak of his career, and the coach also hopes to make good use of this window period to give full play to his residual heat.
As a tactical expert with both offense and defense, Slutsky will definitely be able to reasonably arrange and make good use of Wu Shaocong, a jack-of-all-trades defender. Whether it is playing a leading role in the defensive line in the middle or showing attack power in the high position on the left side, Wu Shaocong can complete the task with ease. Moreover, with a top coach like Slutsky, I believe that Wu Shaocong will be able to shine a new highlight moment of his career at his new club.
