Malalei's annual salary at Shanghai Shenhua is not high, far less than that of Teixeira, whose contract has been renewed. Although his salary is not as high as Teixeira's, his contribution on the field of play is not less than the latter's. Whenever Shenhua is in trouble, he is always the first one to step up and turn the situation around. Whenever Shenhua is in trouble, Mallet is always the first one to step up and turn the situation around, showing outstanding performance. That's why he is regarded as Shenhua's golden boot. Of course, Malalei does lack in utilizing his chances, which is something he needs to improve. However, looking at it from another angle, without this shortcoming, he might have made a big splash in the top five leagues in Europe instead of playing for Shenhua.
It is worth paying attention to Shenhua's new center forward Luis, who has recently failed to score in many games. When Luis joined Shenhua this season, he performed well and scored frequently, which once made many Shenhua fans think that the team had picked up a treasure. However, unfortunately, Luiz has failed to maintain his good form and has now failed to score in many consecutive matches. Given the fact that Luis has been in a long scoring drought, once Shenhua replaces Mallet, there will be no other foreigners on the front line who can attack for the team. To summarize, Shenhua should sign a new contract with Mallet as soon as possible, so that the striker can continue to play for the team.
