Without SIPG's support, it would have been difficult for Cai Hui-Qiang to quickly find favor with Shenhua after his departure from the club. However, Cai Huiqiang has been with the club for a number of years and has not only witnessed the teachings of two renowned coaches in Lecco and Javier, but was also one of the key figures in the team's win in the Chinese Super League last season, so his contribution should not be overlooked. With this in mind, Shanghai fans should not judge him negatively just because he has moved to city rivals Shenhua.
Stepping into Shenhua's first team, Cai Huiqiang will undoubtedly need some time to adapt. With local coach Mao Yijun being the mainstay of the team, Cai Huiqiang is expected to continue to work alongside him and share the burden of a decorated coach. We look forward to Cai Huiqiang's success in Shanghai Shenhua as he climbs to new heights in his career.
