As the wheel of time slowly moves forward, the Chinese Super League has also ushered in the implementation of the salary limit policy, which makes Shanghai Shenhua want to attract top players again become as difficult as climbing up to the sky. However, under the concept of "small cost, big benefit", Xinmin Sports has tailor-made a blueprint for Shenhua to attract new players, that is, Dadi, who played for Shenhua in 2013 season.
In that season, although Dadi was not the team's starting center forward, most of the time he was a substitute, but the skinny striker who had been questioned by outsiders showed the world his extraordinary talent of seizing chances in the penalty area with 9 goals. With an average of one goal for every three shots on goal, he was undoubtedly the most efficient scorer in the Chinese Super League that season.
Various factors have led to Dadi's stay at Shenhua for only one season, and many people have vague memories of the slim striker, but Shenhua fans may be able to appreciate the joy of "value for money" from him. If Shanghai Shenhua can find another striker like Dadi, it will be able to truly practice the low-key pragmatic, cost-effective attraction strategy. Although the emergence of Dadi is difficult to predict, but if Shenhua can use this as a criterion to search, there may be unexpected gains.
