At 20 o'clock on May 10, Beijing time, in the 11th round of the 2024 Chinese Super League, Shanghai SIPG will host Changchun Yatai. If nothing else, SIPG's backline will continue to be led by Jiang Guangtai, Wei Zhen, Li Shuai, Wang Zhenao and others, and Wang Shenchao, Li Ang and others will also have a chance to play.
However, Fu Huan, an international player who has been able to get stable playing opportunities in SIPG in the past few seasons, was directly abandoned by new coach Muscat this season. In the first 10 rounds, Fu Huan only entered the competition squad 3 times, and did not get the opportunity to play, and completely became a spectator at Shanghai Port.
Fu Huan has represented SIPG in the Chinese League since the 2012 season, and has played steadily almost every season. Especially in the 2014 season, Fu Huan made 22 appearances, including 20 starts, and provided the first assist of his Chinese Super League career in May 2014. Thanks to his excellent assists and ability to run back and forth, Fu Huan is deeply trusted by previous SIPG coaches. Especially under Swedish coach Eriksen, Fu Huan scored 1 goal and 1 assist in 20 appearances in the 2016 season. In the 2017 season, after the Portuguese coach Villas-Boas took charge, Fu Huan still sat firmly in the main force, and was full of attendance in all competitions, playing 30 games and contributing 1 goal and 4 assists. That season, Fu Huan was also selected for the national team squad coached by Lippi and became an official international player.
In the 2018 season, after the coach was replaced by Pereira, Fu Huan made 18 appearances and 17 starts, and he is still the main force of the team. In the 2019 season, Fu Huan scored 1 goal in 20 appearances, and in the 2020 season, Fu Huan played 23 times and assisted 1 time.
Fu Huan's turning point in his career occurred in the 2020 AFC Champions League, SIPG's 0-4 defeat to Sydney FC, he directly gave up chasing back in the 54th minute of the game, causing the team to concede a goal.
So far, Fu Huan has lost the main position of the team, and in the 2021 season, Fu Huan only made 4 appearances for SIPG. In the 2022 season, Fu Huan was even loaned to Kunshan FC, a Chinese league team. In the 2022 season, Fu Huan returned to SIPG, but only got 3 appearances. Last season, Fu Huan played on loan at Nanjing City, a Chinese league team, and returned to the team this season, but under the new coach Muscat Mouscat, Fu Huan still couldn't get a chance.
In fact, Muscat's ignorance of Fu Huan was completely expected. The Australian coach attaches great importance to the running ability of his players, and every player has to actively counter-attack, and Fu Huan's attitude obviously cannot meet Muscat's requirements. If he wants to return to the main squad at Shanghai Port, Fu Huan must change his attitude, otherwise, he may completely become a redundant person in the team.
