On July 13th, Beijing time, the first phase of China's top soccer tournament, the Chinese Super League, came to an end. In these 10 rounds of fierce competition, Harbour Team performed well, but ended with 4 defeats, the overall performance is slightly less than expected. For the Harbour Team, this short off-season is crucial, both in terms of adjusting the player line-up and optimizing the technical and tactical levels. According to Oriental Sports Daily, the Harbour Team plans to take a five-day vacation, while a foreign striker has entered the team's vision.
The Harbour Team has had a fruitful year in terms of reinforcements, especially in the introduction of local players. At the beginning of the season, the Harbour Team signed international players Zhang Linpeng and Xu Xin in succession to energize the strength of the midfield and backfield. Before the season, the Harbour Team also brought in Feng Jin, the former star player of Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic, in order to strengthen the attacking firepower of the front side of the field.
Going into the break, Harbour will continue to strengthen their squad, with the most likely target at the moment being left-footed general Li Shuai, who used to play for Dalian Ren. The player, who is in his prime, can play both as a defender and a wingback, as the veteran Lv Wenjun has become the left wingback Lecco has been relying on for the past two seasons. Compared to Lv Wenjun, Li Shuai is better at scoring, better at traveling to and from the field, and relatively balanced in both offense and defense. If it can join smoothly, it will be a targeted reinforcement.
In terms of foreign aid, Harbour Team brought in Ndiaye in the winter transfer window to make up for the team's lack of height and impact in the forward line. However, with Paulinho's low form, Oscar's temporary departure from the team, and Muyi and Lopez basically leaving the team, the Harbour Team's reinforcement work is imminent. It is reported that a suitable attacker has now entered the team's vision.
