On April 8, Zhu Yi, the administrator of the German section of the well-known domestic soccer transfer information platform, was on fire on Weibo, heating up the attention of Wuhan Sanzhen. He revealed that five players, including Zhang Wentao and Geng Xiaofeng, were about to join on loan. Facing the challenge of the first season in the Central League, Wuhan Sanzhen showed unprecedented determination.
Tidal wave of reinforcements, international players join
On April 6, Wuhan Three Town officially announced the joining of Xu Qing, Zhao Shuhao and Zhang Xiaobin, which, together with the previous three foreign aiders and three internal aiders, brought the total number of the team's new reinforcements to nine.
Among them, the former international footballer Zhang Xiaobin's joining has attracted much attention. Zhang Xiaobin started from Jiangsu Zijin in 2011, played for Jiangsu Suning, Tianjin Tianhai and other clubs, and represented the national Olympic team to participate in the Asian Cup, but also entered the national football training list. During his training in Shanghai, Zhang Xiaobin played a number of positions including center back and back, and his addition to the team provides Wuhan Three Town with more options in the center back. In the warm-up match with Wuhan, Zhang Xiaobin partnered with Luo Senwen at the back, showing the team's new vigor. The addition of the former international player is just the beginning of Wuhan Sanzhen's reinforcements, and there are still other Chinese superstars such as Luo Senwen who are currently training with the team, and they may soon join the team officially.
Regarding whether there will be "big fish" to join, it has been rumored that an international footballer surnamed "R" will join Wuhan Sanzhen, and is said to be on the verge of joining. It is understood that the former international defender is indeed associated with Wuhan three towns, specifically which ones are not yet clear, whether they can successfully join, April 12 will be revealed.
Playing at home and trying to get off to a good start
The schedule of the 2021 season has been basically finalized, 18 teams will arrive at their respective regions on April 20 and 21. on April 22, the Central A will complete the pre-match launch, training and other work. on April 23, the Central A pre-match joint meeting was held. on April 24, the new season of the Central A official opening. The elevation rules of this season's China A are: the top two in China B will be directly promoted to China A; the 17th and 18th in China A and the 3rd and 4th in China B will play a playoff, with the winner being promoted to China A and the loser being relegated to China B; the top two in China A will be promoted to the Chinese Super League (CSL) in the next season, and the 3rd and 4th in China A will play a playoff with the 15th and 16th in the CSL, with the winner being promoted to the CSL. In addition, this season's Central League will follow the example of the Chinese Super League, using a tournament system for a double round-robin, but as there are 18 teams participating in the Central League, it will be divided into three groups, with four phases and a total of 34 rounds of league matches.
Wuhan Sanzhen will first sit at home for the first 10 rounds of the first phase of the group stage, trying to get a good start in the Central League. Since Wuhan Sanzhen is in a group with few strong opponents, the team will take the lead if they win more in the first stage.
Currently, Wuhan Three Town is trying to sharpen its lineup under head coach Alberto. In the warm-up match with Wuhan on the 8th, only two foreigners, Edmilson and Jadson, played, and center forward Ogbu is still recovering. After the warm-up match, the team also exposed some problems, but with the deepening of the lineup, I believe Wuhan Sanzhen will have a great time in the Central League.
