With the departure of Tang Chuang and the unexpected end of the contract of naturalized goal-scorer Aixon, Chengdu Rongcheng's front line has been left with a glaring vacuum. This change will certainly be a test for a team aiming to win the championship. In particular, Ickerson's absence has challenged the team's versatility and effectiveness on the offensive side of the ball. How to fill this gap in a short period of time and find a scorer who understands tactics and can be called upon in a crisis has become the most urgent issue for Chengdu Rongcheng.
In the midfield, Yan Dinghao's arrival did not lead to the expected tactical revolution. He has only been given a few chances to play, and more often than not, Feng Zhuoyi and Baitijiang have taken turns to play in the center of the field. Next year, Feng Zhuoyi will be 36 years old and Baitijiang will be nearly 34. It is still doubtful whether their fitness and condition can support the team to fight on multiple fronts. Therefore, the rejuvenation and upgrading of the midfield is a matter of urgency. The club urgently needs to explore new potential stars to inject new vitality into the team, and at the same time ensure the stability of the midfield line.
As for the backline, despite the team's additions this year, the senior management is still dissatisfied with the efficiency of the defense. This implies that even though the personnel seems to be sufficient, the team still needs targeted reinforcement in the back line. Whether it is to enhance the strength of the defense or to improve the ability to defend in the air, this is the focus of the recruiting team must think deeply.
Looking ahead to the new season, Chengdu Rongcheng is facing the challenge of restructuring its lineup. The success or failure of this attraction will directly determine the future direction of the team.
