Shanghai did well in the Chinese Super League last season as the team beat Luneng a round earlier to win the league title. Shanghai was not complacent after winning the league title. Instead, Shanghai quickly went into a reflective adjustment mode. Shanghai's first adjustment was for Javier. Javier led Hong Kong to a loss to Thai Premier League's Batang United in the AFC Champions League qualifying round, which made the team lift their heads.
Considering that the Shanghai team will face the test of the Chinese Super League and AFC Champions League next season, Javier's coaching ability will certainly not be able to cope. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the Shanghai team chose to let Xavier dismissed. After Javier's dismissal, Shanghai invited Muscat, who has good strength, to take over the fire line. Shanghai valued Muscat the most because his performance and record in the AFC Champions League had been good, which made the club's top management very excited.
After Muscat takes over Shanghai, the team will start signing reinforcements. The Shanghai team is mainly Muscat's tactical needs for foreign players, while the local players are internal potential. Liu Baiyang, Fu Huan and Feng Jin, who were loaned out by Shanghai last season, have officially returned to the team to be scouted by new coach Muscat. Liu Baiyang is the best of Shanghai 03's youth training and has been highly anticipated.
Liu Baiyang had a good passing game when he represented Shanghai in the Chinese Super League. So in this case, Liu Baiyang started to stand up. In order to give Liu Baiyang a more stable chance to play, he was loaned to Guangxi in China's first division. Liu Baiyang performed well in Guangxi, and the scoring effect was comparable to the Golden Boot. Liu Baiyang will return to Shanghai next season and will be Wu Lei's successor.
Fu Huan and Feng Jin are both players who have experienced many battles in the Chinese Super League. They have been selected for the national team several times. Among them, Feng Jin performed well in his first season with Shanghai, becoming the team's local assist leader. Fu Huan is recognized by Shanghai as a meritorious player who can also provide a plug-and-play effect. It is hoped that the above three local powerhouses, once in place, can work together to explode and help Shanghai achieve good results.
