It was officially announced that Wu Jingui has taken up the position of head coach of the team and will lead the team in all competitions for the 2022 season.
Reporters first met Wu Jingui, when the old Peter is still in Shenhua club coaching, a turn of the eye to the present, has passed more than twenty years. Wu Jingui has always been in

The first line of coaching, he has seen both the prosperous heyday when the capital dances wildly, but also personally felt the bleakness after the retreat of capital.
"To be able to take over the coaching whip of Shenhua at this moment is my pride as a domestic coach, a Shanghai coach and a Shenhua man. To be trusted at this moment and to be able to take responsibility, I will do my best." In the interview, Wu Jingui told reporters. Although this season may be the middle of Wu Jingui's career

The toughest season for the ball is also the hardest for Shenhua, but he said that no matter what, he always believes that the clouds will eventually clear and everything will be fine.
"Ten years a cycle, I do not think the current situation must make everyone pessimistic, pessimism and complaining can not solve the problem, on the contrary, this time, we should be more to do their own thing, as a Chinese coach we can not in this crisis will be good things, accompaniment

Getting out of this toughest road? That's the real thing to think about. Other than that, it's pointless to think too much and we can't decide. In the past we always compared ourselves to other teams, and now we have to compare ourselves and see if we can work harder than last season and than ever."
Wu Jingui told reporters, the reason why he dared to take over the burden at this time, in addition to their own sense of responsibility, more importantly, and Shenhua management has been a very good working relationship and mutual trust basis, and the management has been maximized for him to start the work of doing more than enough advance efforts.
"Both Chairman Wu Xiaohui and General Manager Zhou Jun did not have much rest during the Spring Festival, on the one hand, they kept communication with me at work, and at the same time, they paid close attention to the players' dynamics, and have been trying to do a good job in everyone's mind. As a matter of fact, Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhou were under more pressure than me. During the training, I saw the effectiveness of the two leaders in doing the ideological work of the players. In every class after the training started, every player who participated in the training showed a high degree of professionalism and self-discipline, and as the head coach, I didn't feel any negative emotions being brought into the training. I know that all of this did not come about by chance, there is too much effort from the management behind it, as well as the gratitude and understanding of the players, and the cohesion and unity that the team has molded over the years."
Wu Jingui said that cohesion and unity has been the team culture that Shenhua has been trying to build over the years, and now it reflects the value and role in this time of crisis, and being united as one is also an important prerequisite for Shenhua to overcome all difficulties.
The Shenhua team began training on March 1, with one day off per week and two days of two-a-day training. With the change of the epidemic situation, from this week, Shenhua began to centralized closed training. The players involved in the current phase of training are close to 30, and some players have been drawn to the national team and the
, U21 national team.
The reporter asked Wu Jingui about his intention to adjust the team lineup for the new season, after all, from the second half of last season, to promote the current lineup rejuvenation of the call is getting higher and higher, and the second half of last year Shenhua also consciously give more young players exercise opportunities, so in the future, Wu Jingui will further promote the team's rejuvenation of the construction?
"At the moment the players have just returned from vacation and we don't have a full squad, so the focus at the moment is still on getting all the players fit and then making a comprehensive assessment of everyone's situation. This year our situation may be a bit special, foreign aid are not able to return. We can't rule out playing with a full Chinese squad this season.

up. If it's an all Chinese team playing, the first thing to think about is

Task, re-building a new set of lineups and playing style is the first priority, and for the proportion of new and old players, it is not possible with foreign aid are in the same time is exactly the same, so the adjustment of the lineup of the new season is certainly a comprehensive consideration of the results." Wu Jingui explained.
So does that mean the lineup slimming program is going to stop? It shouldn't be either. After all.

There is a limit to the number of final enrollment, the total number of domestic players in Shenhua is certainly overstaffed, until the start of the pre-season enrollment, or will be adjusted accordingly, when the main and replacement lineup basically already have a relatively certain candidate, and thus be able to more accurately make a choice. There may be concerns that by that time, in case the transfer window closes, how will these players cut by Shenhua find their next home?
As far as the current situation is concerned, teams are cutting redundancies, especially for high-paid players. If said high-paid players have better options or are worried about the future in case they are not included in the enrollment list, they can also renegotiate their contracts with their clubs ahead of time, and I believe that clubs will not put up obstacles in this regard.
The epidemic has brought economic difficulties to the whole soccer industry, and Shenhua is also struggling to hold on in this crisis. The whole management and all the staff of Shenhua Club have been working hard to maintain a very good atmosphere and positive mentality of the club and the team to face this crisis together.
It's not easy to live without foreign aid. Among the several foreign aiders who are still under contract with the club, the one who has already confirmed to leave and join the Japanese league is defender Jonić, will there be other foreign aiders who will choose to leave like Jonić next? It's hard to say for now. Basogo and Dumbya have contracts with Shenhua, and they have yet to return. How will the contracts of these two foreign aiders be resolved, whether they stay or terminate their contracts early, should require a large sum of money. Although the league's admission process has not yet officially begun, not getting involved in international disputes and properly resolving contracts with foreign aiders have always been a threshold for admission. Maybe this year's admission principle has been adjusted, but in the foreign aid contract is not easy to want to relax, but hopefully Shenhua can be properly dealt with.
In fact.

Scope, and foreign aid salary disputes with more than one club, some clubs have been appealed to the FIFA, and even the FIFA has been punished accordingly, was banned from introducing, registering new players.
If it's true that none of the wideouts are coming back and none of the wideouts can be registered, this should be the

Judging from the personnel reserves of other teams in the league, if Shenhua really doesn't go on foreign aid, even if the target is only set at

In terms of the current transfer market, and Shanghai seaport rumors about the name of the most Chinese players, gossip can eventually become a reality is not yet known, but the seaport of the same city in the new season to strengthen the team lineup and the pursuit of results in the goal, obviously Shenhua is difficult to reach.

Since then, the two teams in the same city have the biggest gap in their season goals. It's not as if Shenhua hasn't experienced hardship before; in 2013, the club had also experienced massive wage arrears, with investors

There were even plans to take the team to Kunming, Yunnan and away from Shanghai, and there was a big move in 2013 when foreign aiders went on a training strike to recover unpaid wages. Later.

The only way to ease the financial pressure was to sell Wang Dalei and Dailin. At that time, Shenhua also made fans worry about disappearing from Shanghai, but eventually Shenhua was able to keep it.
The one who completely solved the predicament of that year and kept Shenhua in Shanghai was Greenland Group, and has continued to invest since then, getting two

With the overall dysfunction of the ball consumer market, the lack of soccer talent and the ups and downs of the market, it will take quite some time for both commercial and youth brands to really make a sizable profit.
