Mu Xiekui remains in good form this season, having already scored eight goals for Zhejiang in the league, once again becoming the top scorer within the team, and is currently second on the Chinese Super League's top scorer list, behind Brazilian striker Leonardo.
Now, Mu Xiekui has scored 63 goals for Zhejiang in 110 matches, surpassing former Zhejiang foreign striker Dino to become the club's top scorer. It can be said that it is Mu Xiekui's stable output in the front line, so that this season's poor form of the Zhejiang team did not fall behind too much.
However, according to the latest news, Mushiqui recently left the team as the 36-year-old has a child and his wife has given birth to another child. Mu Xiekui asked for a leave of absence in order to see his wife and child. Despite Zhejiang's current poor performance, the club was still very happy to accurately grant Mu Xiekui's vacation. Now Mu Xiekui has left the team and will miss at least 2-3 rounds of the Chinese Super League.
Fortunately, Zhejiang recently officially signed Leonardo, and the Chinese Super League's top scorer was able to fill in for Mu Xiekui in time. Nonetheless, Leonardo's tactical position at Yatai is still very high, and head coach Chen Yang has specialized in tactical play against Leonardo. After joining Zhejiang, Leonardo will hardly get the same treatment he got at Yatai. Whether he can continue to play his power depends on whether coach Jordy can find the instruction manual for the Brazilian shooter.
Another thing worth mentioning is that Leonardo's first game in the Chinese Super League after joining Zhejiang will be against his previous team Changchun Yatai. Whether or not he can score a goal and help his team to end their losing streak in the first two matches will also be an important focus of the match.
