The three seasoned veterans in the SIPG squad know that team turnover is an inevitable historical trend. Thus, new manager Muscat's reform fire was quickly ignited in Shanghai, and the progress was strong. He took the lead in opening up with the three decorated players, firmly opposing their relegation to the bench and generously giving them the option to leave the team in the summer transfer window. The three team leaders, including Lv Wenjun, have always faithfully guarded the green of Shanghai Hong Kong over the years, but in their hearts, they are never willing to leave this hot land that nurtured them, eager to draw a perfect ending on the pitch on the banks of the Huangpu River, and to become a piece of good news in the history of soccer.
With the full support of three veteran SIPG players who understand the essence of tactics, this season's SIPG has successfully accomplished the great task of replacing the old with the new. For the young players, this is the key moment for them to show their strengths, and they have to grasp every moment in the Chinese Super League and AFC Champions League to play for the team and respond to the trust of the head coach Muscat with outstanding performances.
