As Shenhua fans are worried about the future fate of the club, Shanghai Shenhua has welcomed the takeover by the Jiuzhi Group. The arrival of the new head will undoubtedly make adjustments to the team's lineup, in which five highly paid players will face the fate of being cut, two of which are former Evergrande players.
First, we focus on the foreigner Bolaños. He joined Shanghai Shenhua on the National Day in 2020, however, despite being an Ecuadorian international, his performance at Shenhua was not satisfactory.In the 2021 season, he was loaned out to Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic.Upon his return in the 2022 season, he was in worrying form as he was unable to collect a single goal in 7 matches. As the highest paid player in the team, his performance was not even as good as that of local striker Yang Xu.
Next up is Li Yunqiu. The graduate of the Genbao soccer academy played for Shanghai Dongya before moving to Beijing Guoan in 2014. After two seasons at Guoan, Li Yunqiu moved to Shenhua. However, he did not have a good reputation among the fans and often became a burden to the team due to his poor performances. Perhaps it is time for Li Yunqiu to leave Shenhua.
When it comes to Chinese Super League villains, Shenhua has another figure in 37-year-old Qin Sheng. 2022 season, Qin Sheng has been reduced to a fringe player, making only five appearances throughout the season, all of which were as a substitute. On the field, his performance is not outstanding. Now, Qin Sheng has reached the age of retirement.
In addition, Shenhua also has Zeng Cheng and Feng Xiaoting, two players who transferred from Guangzhou Evergrande. Although Zeng Cheng is 37 years old, he still has a good performance in Shenhua. However, Feng Xiaoting is in a relatively awkward position. His early performances at Shenhua were not bad, but as he got older, his game gradually declined. Nonetheless, their position at Shenhua remains solid.
Zeng Cheng and Feng Xiaoting have had different experiences at Shenhua, but what they have in common is that they were both decorated players of Guangzhou Evergrande. Now, what will be their future at Shenhua? Let's wait and see.
