In addition, the team's only current international player, Dai Weijun, officially terminated his contract with Shenzhen Music Department last month and joined Shanghai Shenhua, for whom he has represented in five CSL matches. Recently, local players such as Zhang Yuan, Jiang Zhipeng and Yuan Mincheng also managed to terminate their contracts and join their new teams before the Chinese Super League's summer transfer window closed.
Previously, there were rumors that Zhang Yuan would be joining Chinese Super League newcomer Chengdu Rongcheng, but that news recently saw a reversal. Beijing Guoan, a veteran force in the Chinese Super League, intercepted Chengdu Rongcheng and successfully signed Zhang Yuan. As an attacking midfielder, Zhang Yuan has a strong sense of forward movement, good attacking power, excellent physical fitness and outstanding running ability. These characteristics fit the tactical system of Guoan's new coach Ricardo.
Veteran Jiang Zhipeng had previously been wildly rumored to return to Shanghai to join his old boss Shanghai Port. However, Jiang Zhipeng ended up joining Three Towns in Wuhan. Three Towns Wuhan have been so bad this season that senior managers in the music department are already rushing to the doctor. Sacking Pedro and bringing in Gao as coach was clearly a stupid move. Now bringing in a 34 year old wing back, I don't know what they are selling in their gourd.
Similar to Zhang Yuan and Jiang Zhipeng, Yuan Mincheng has previously been rumored with several Chinese Super League clubs. Some time ago, Shandong fans took photos of him appearing in Jinan. However, instead of joining Shandong Taishan, Yuan Mincheng moved to Changchun Yatai. Perhaps this is because Changchun is close to Yanbian and it is more convenient for Yuan to go home.
After Yuan Mincheng, another Shenzhen defender Wang Chengqiu also left the team and found a new home. But it is not a Chinese Super League team he will join, but Yanbian Longding FC of China's First Division.
The recent departure of many players from their contracts has undoubtedly added insult to injury for the current Shenzhen team. It makes no sense for the divided Shenzhen team to stay in the league now. Perhaps the former Chinese Super League team will officially announce its dissolution next month...
