The final match will see defending champions Shanghai Seaport take on Wuhan Sanzhen. Although Shanghai Seaport lost to Shanghai Shenhua in the recent Super League, many fans believe that they will be victorious in the opening match. This is due to the fact that the team has many good foreign players and the level of local players is quite good. For example, Wu Lei and many other internationals have players who have just won the Golden Ball Award for the 2023 season. Recently, Wuhan Sanzhen team had difficulties in management, and there were rumors that it might be disbanded, but fortunately, the official notice said that the team would not be disbanded, and was undergoing reforms, but there were problems such as unpaid wages. Therefore, Wuhan Sanzhen in the new season is facing many factors affecting the game, and the whole is full of uncertainty, so it is not very likely to win over Shanghai Harbor in the opening game.
As we all know, the soccer anti-corruption triggered by Li Tie swept the whole soccer world. Many leaders of the CFA department were arrested and the CFA changed. Song Kai from the Liaoning Provincial Sports Bureau became the president of the CFA. In contrast, after Song Kai became the president of the CFA, both the men's and women's teams failed to do well in international competitions, the women's soccer World Cup was a fiasco, the Olympic qualifying tournament was a fiasco, missing the Paris Olympics, and the Chinese women's soccer team was going downhill. The men's soccer team has disappointed its fans even more. In the Asian Cup tournament that ended not long ago, the Chinese men's soccer team was criticized by the fans as they struggled to win in the group stage and even failed to score a single goal.
Wu Lei recently won the Golden Ball Award. In an interview with the media, Wu Lei said that today's national soccer team is no longer a second-rate player in Asia. What do you think about this?
