Paulinho proved his worth with a remarkable performance in the crucial game before the season break. In the match against Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, he and Oscar worked together in the penalty area and stabbed a precise shot through the opponent's net. This goal not only demonstrated Paulinho's extraordinary skills, what is even more unbelievable is that this is his first goal in a year and a half since he came to our country. After piercing this layer of mystery, Paulinho frankly said in an interview, he is eager to harvest more: whether it is a goal or an assist, all let him feel happy, and he is most eager to be the champion!
Looking back at the end of last month, Harbour Team suffered two hard matches in a row, namely the showdown with Beijing Guoan on the 28th and the match with Shanghai Shenhua on the 31st. After the restart of the league, the overall performance of the Harbour Team was mediocre, especially in the attacking end, the team lacked the ability to effectively push forward after the return of Arnautovic, and could not continue to create a threat in the opponent's penalty area, as evidenced by the significant drop in the number of goals scored. Against this backdrop, reinforcements have become a direct and effective means to change the status quo.
However, who to bring in becomes a dilemma. Affected by the epidemic, attracting reinforcements from the European transfer market while the league is in progress entails a huge risk. First of all, the cost of time, leaving aside the negotiation process, the player arrives in our country, but also need to go through a long quarantine period, if the whole August can not play for the team, such a recruitment actually does not make much sense. Therefore, the Harbour team from the very beginning intends to focus on some of the existing foreign aiders within the Chinese Super League.
The River Plate players, who are suffering from financial woes, are indeed an option. However, those clubs with relatively normal finances, such as Seaport, are facing their own problems. With the introduction of a clear policy by the CFA on various salary caps, Seaport has strictly adhered to the rules by keeping a tight rein on the spending of foreign aiders and foreign coaches. At the beginning of the season, the team sent away the original captain Hulk, skipper Leko's annual salary is only 2 million euros, foreign aid center back Maistorovic's annual salary is not more than 2 million euros before tax. Of course, taking into account the other inputs of the first team, including players' salaries, the Harbour Team has set relevant standards for the price (annual salary) of new recruits.
Because of this, the Harbor team in the process of attracting reinforcement, although there is no lack of alternative targets, but really can "sit down" to talk about, but very limited. Malcolm may be a typical example of this, but in terms of salary budget, some of the Chinese Super League clubs, including Seaport, could not even offer the price offered by individual Chinese First Division clubs, and the senior center forward eventually chose to join Wuhan Sanzhen.
