Looking at Shenhua's lineup this season, Yu stands alone, while the remaining four stars have fallen out of favor with the team. Zhao Mingjian moved to Kunshan FC in the summer window, while Qin Sheng and Feng Xiaoting have mostly been left on the sidelines.
Wu Jingui has made it clear that the team has the important task of relegation, and the training of young players is also the blueprint for the future of Shenhua. Therefore, veterans over 30 years old have no chance to be in the first line of Shenhua. The contracts of Qin Sheng, Zhao Mingjian and Feng Xiaoting will also come to an end at the end of the year, and all the signs imply that there is no hope for contract renewal.
Looking at Cong Zhen, the 25-year-old midfield star has not had a chance to play so far and his contract will expire at the end of the year. Unsurprisingly, he will also join the Shenhua purge next season.
As for foreign aid, Ecuadorian striker Bolanos has not been favored by Wu Jingui despite his return. In the 20th round of the league, he only played 6 games in the Chinese Super League, starting in 2 games and substituting in 4 games, with no income. With his contract also expiring at the end of the year, it is believed that Shenhua will not keep the 32-year-old striker.
Shenhua's rebuilding is imperative, and more players are expected to leave in addition to the five mentioned above. Here's wishing them a rainy day so that they don't get stuck without soccer next season ......
