Muscat emphasized, "Victory is certainly measured by the trophy, that eternal glory, however, team spirit is equally vital." This quote, from a conversation he had with compatriot Sasha Pisani, exemplifies Muscat's deep insight into the relationship between championships and team spirit. In his eyes, the charm of soccer lies not only in the game itself, but in building a powerful force that transcends the game itself. As the favorite to win the Super League, he has certainly become a strong rival for the teams!
Looking ahead, the Chinese Super League will no longer be limited to a "two-horse race". Shanghai Seaport will try to keep the title, while Shandong Taishan will try to take revenge and regain the honor. It's not just about the league title, but also the cup. Shanghai Shenhua's new manager is also harboring dreams of a double cup and league title. Zhejiang, Chengdu Rongcheng and Beijing Guoan are equally ambitious and do not want to be a sidekick to other teams. The competition in the Chinese Super League is set to get even hotter, and with it, the spectacle.
Four teams in the Chinese Super League to change the managerial controversy again, if the old Cui failed to succeed, perhaps will face a crisis of dismissal. The four teams are Shanghai Harbor, Shanghai Shenhua, Wuhan Sanzhen and Henan. As for the relegated Dalian People, whether it can pass the league access, or even recruited to the Chinese Super League, there is no conclusion yet. The likelihood of Dalian Ren head coach Xie Hui staying on is also doubtful. Regardless of Dalian, even if they stay in the Chinese Super League, their goal is only to be relegated. Wu Jingui, who led Shanghai Shenhua to the title, has not been granted immunity from punishment. Russian media broke the news that former Russian national team manager Slutsky will replace Wu Jingui, and both sides have signed a contract and are expected to arrive in Shanghai at the end of December. Mian Takabatake may lose his job after Wuhan Three Town failed to defend their title. The Daily News reported that Sanzhen is interested in inviting former Jeju United manager Nam Ki Ik to coach the team. Henan club, on the other hand, is interested in Korean coach Choi Yong-soo. In his first public speech at Seaport, Muscat revealed that he had been in contact with a number of clubs before finally choosing to join Seaport on a "1+1" year contract. I had in-depth discussions with the sporting director, general manager and president of the club, who gave a detailed account of the club's development over the past four or five years and looked ahead to the next three to five years," he said, adding that Harbour sent a team to Japan on November 30th, and the 60-minute negotiation lasted nearly four hours. They recalled in detail that I had led Yokohama in matches such as the one against Shandong Taishan, and even mentioned some details that I had long forgotten ......" Muscat continued, "They initially contacted me through my profile and had an in-depth conversation around the style of soccer I have always maintained. This opportunity gives us a chance to show what overall soccer is all about." "I am eager to win a new title in a foreign country. Playing our own soccer will give us the best chance. Of course, challenges are inevitable, but the greater the challenge, the more we learn. Even though this contract is full of adventure, it is a rare opportunity in my career."
