During this period in the transfer market of the Chinese Super League, the Shanghai team has been looking for suitable candidates. This is because, Shanghai will face a multi-front battle in the Chinese Super League and the Asian Champions League next season. Therefore, in this case, Shanghai must sign to strengthen. In this regard, after Shanghai finalized their new coach Muscat, they brought in a number of new players according to his tactical needs. Among them, Gustavo and Yusa have joined the team.
Gustavo has represented Jeonbuk Hyundai in the league and the AFC Champions League with outstanding performance. Whenever Jeonbuk Hyundai is in a stalemate, Gustavo is always the first to step up and put on a show to save the day. Youssa is a mainstay in the Barclays Premier League and his overall performance is commendable. Therefore, in this case, Gustavo and Yusa are worth the fans' expectations.
In terms of local signings, Shanghai have identified Wang Zhenao and mixed-race center Shen Zigui. Wang Zhenao's career has been on the rise in recent seasons when he played in Dalian. As a result, Wang Zhenao has become a national regular, scoring spectacular goals while representing the Chinese men's soccer team at the Hangzhou Asian Games. Shen Zigui is a Chelsea-trained center forward big fish who has played as a starter on the ladder.
However, Shen Zigui's development in the later stages of his career did not live up to fans' expectations. Shen Zigui's physical confrontation was a bit poor, which kept him away from the mainstream center of European soccer. Fortunately, Shenzhen brought in Shen Zigui and made him a guest of the team. Shen Zigui showed a halo when he represented Shenzhen in the Chinese Super League. In addition, Shen Zigui is a typical post-00s player in his starting years.
Considering that Shanghai's main local center, Li Shenglong, is already a 32-year-old veteran, he needs a successor to lead. Shen Zigui then deserves significant responsibility from the Shanghai committee. Shen Zigui is eligible for naturalization by the Football Association, as long as Shanghai is willing to pay the operating expenses. If Shen Zigui can continue to explode in Shanghai, then he could be chosen to lead the national soccer team. Expect Shen Zigui to do well with Shanghai and live up to the love of the fans.
