Without the full support of SIPG, Cai Huiqiang might not have received an offer from Shenhua immediately after he left the club. In the end, Cai Huiqiang has been with SIPG for many years, having assisted two renowned coaches, Lecco and Javier, respectively. He also contributed to the team's success in winning the Chinese Super League title last season. Therefore, Shanghai fans should not discredit Cai Huiqiang for his move to city rivals Shenhua.
Upon entering Shenhua's first team, Cai Huiqiang is supposed to familiarize himself with it first. The stalwart of Shanghai Shenhua's local coaching team is Mao Yijun, and Cai Huiqiang will likely continue to work alongside him to help ease the pressure on the Shenhua stalwart. Hopefully, Cai Huiqiang will perform well after joining Shanghai Shenhua and reach a new peak in his career soon.
