As the years go by, the salary restriction in the Chinese Super League has made it difficult for Shanghai Shenhua to pursue top players. Against this backdrop, Xinmin Sports Magazine cleverly proposed a "small is big" strategy to attract new players, and they recommended a player who briefly shone in the 2013 season to Shenhua - Dadi.
Looking back at that season, Dadi was not a regular starter for Shenhua, mostly appearing as a substitute. However, the lanky striker proved his extraordinary skill in capturing chances in front of goal with 9 goals. He scored a goal for every 3 shots on goal, which was unrivaled in the Chinese Super League at the time.
Unfortunately, due to various reasons, Dadi's stay at Shenhua was only for one season. Perhaps many people have forgotten about this unassuming striker, but Shenhua fans may still be able to recall his "cost-effective" days. If Shanghai Shenhua can find another striker like Dadi, the dream of "good value for money" can be truly realized. Even though Dadi's arrival was like a shooting star, Shenhua might be able to make a difference if they follow in his footsteps.
