Undoubtedly a player to be reckoned with. Currently, the team's offensive line has suffered a lot of shocks before the start of the tournament. First, Ackerson failed to make the roster for the trip to Japan because he contracted a new strain of pneumonia, and then Fernando "Moto" Fernando turned back midway through the game. Luo Guofu arrived in Japan, but will be suspended. So far.

They have visited Saitama Stadium twice. In the group stage of the AFC Champions League that year, Harbour and Urawa Red Diamonds were in the same group, and Harbour finally beat their opponents 3-2 at home, but lost 0-1 on the road after Oscar conceded two penalties. The two teams met in the East Asian finals after their respective qualifying rounds, and Harbour drew 1-1 at home, but lost 0-1 on the road, unfortunately missing out on the final.

Despite the eventual outcome of a loss, that atmosphere and experience of committing to the AFC Champions League at the time is still something many seaport players find valuable. "In a way, the pace of the Top 12 is similar to the AFC Championship." Wang Qianchao said after finishing the first five rounds of the group stage.In 2019, Yan Junling and Wang Qianchao once again came to Saitama, when Wang Qianchao scored a goal in the game, but unfortunately the team still regretted to go out due to the total score against Urawa. This time, Wang Qianchao they obviously want to play with the
