Meanwhile, the team's only international player, Dai Weijun, ended his contract with Shenzhen Music Department last month and joined Shanghai Shenhua, for whom he has already played five matches in the Chinese Super League. Recently, local players such as Zhang Yuan, Jiang Zhipeng and Yuan Mincheng have also broken their old contracts and joined their new owners before the summer transfer window of the Chinese Super League closed.
Previously, rumors were rife that Zhang Yuan would be joining Chinese Super League newcomer Chengdu Rongcheng, but the winds have suddenly changed. Beijing Guoan, a veteran of the Chinese Super League (CSL), successfully intercepted Chengdu Rongcheng and signed Zhang Yuan. As an attacking midfielder, Zhang Yuan has a good sense of forward movement and physical ability, and his running ability is particularly impressive, qualities that coincide with the tactical vision of Guoan's new manager, Ricardo.
Veteran Jiang Zhipeng was once previously rumored to be returning to Shanghai to join his old boss Shanghai Port. But in the end, he chose to join Three Towns in Wuhan. With Wuhan Three Town's disappointing performance this season, the team's top management was as anxious as ants on a hot pan, firing Pedro and hiring a high-ranking coach seemed to be too hasty. Now, the team has brought in a 34-year-old wingback, leaving people scratching their heads as to what kind of drugs they are selling.
Similar to the fate of Zhang Yuan and Jiang Zhipeng, Yuan Mincheng has previously been rumored to be with several Chinese Super League clubs. Not long ago, Shandong fans also caught him in Jinan. But instead of joining Shandong Taishan, Yuan Mincheng moved to Changchun Yatai. Perhaps because Changchun and Yanbian are not far from each other, Yuan Mincheng chose to go back to his hometown more convenient.
Following Yuan Mincheng, another Shenzhen defender Wang Chengqiu also left the team and found a new home. However, he is not joining a Chinese Super League team, but rather Yanbian Longding FC of China's First Division.
The recent mass termination and departure of players has undoubtedly added insult to injury for the Shenzhen team. Now, it is meaningless for the divided Shenzhen team to stay in the league. Perhaps the news that this former Chinese Super League powerhouse will officially announce its dissolution next month will come true...
