At the beginning of the new year, Shenhua players dressed in the new fluorescent pink training robe appearance, however, they know that not every player can enjoy this honor.
In yesterday's open training session, 24 players gathered, including returning veterans Zhu Jianrong, Jin Yangyang and Xu Yougang. Liu Ruowanadium and Zhou Junchen, on the other hand, chose to train independently in the gym and failed to show up. Junior players He Longhai and Zhu Yue are preparing for the U21 national youth team and are expected to return after March 5, while Wu Xi, Zhu Chenjie and Jiang Shenglong rushed to Haikou to meet the national team to prepare for the upcoming Top 12 tournament, and they are expected to return to the team in mid-April at the earliest. The other three players Wen Jiabao, Sun Qinhan and Su Shihao also joined the ranks of the U22 National Youth Football Team, will go to Dubai later this month to participate in the "Dubai Cup", the return time is also expected to be in mid-April.
It has been revealed that the young players who were on loan last season and are expected to sit in the starting lineup are expected to stay in the team for the new season and will no longer be loaned out. Wu Jingui said: "In the past few years, I have been concerned about their growth, after the exercise, they have made rapid progress. This year we proposed that the players need to show vigor and hard style on the field, and these young players have these conditions."
Shenhua's planning for the new season includes both the replacement of old and new players, as well as preparing for the full Chinese class. Wu Jingui emphasized: "We will definitely give more opportunities to young players, while the whole team is working very hard. If there is no foreign aid in the team at the beginning of the league, we will give full play to the role of the veteran players, just like foreign aid, we will certainly find ways to integrate resources. After all, now that there are five fewer foreign aiders, young players and other players will get more opportunities."
Former Chongqing loanee Adrian appeared at the Kangqiao base wearing the Shenhua kit, but did not join the team's training. It is reported that Adrian's contract with Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic has not yet ended, and he has not received any notice from either side to return to the team for the time being. Adrian has been training independently at the Shenhua gym to maintain his form, and his future is still to be determined. Other foreigners who are still under contract with Shenhua, such as Bassogo, Dumbya and Bolaños, will also not return to the team for the time being.
