Chongming Island, a pearl set in the estuary of the Yangtze River, whose products were once sought after by countless diners. However, why is it that nowadays even the guardians of the island are no longer satisfied with the local products, but have to search for "fresh blood" in all parts of the world? The answer is obvious.
To this day, the products of Chongming Island seem to have lost their former luster. Once upon a time, the first batch of products led by Wu Lei and Yan Junling were of high quality and won the praise of the international ballclub. However, with the addition of Jiang Shenglong and Zhu Chenjie to the Shenhua team, the number of international players dwindled. Further down the line, the search for outstanding talent became increasingly difficult. In recent years, Hong Kong has devoted itself to nurturing new talents, but no one seems to be able to gain a stable foothold, which undoubtedly sounds an alarm for the future of Hong Kong.
Chongming Island's products are no longer glamorous, and the harbor seems to have been transformed into a "digging machine", searching for fresh blood.
The signings of Li Shuai and Wang Zhen'ao have given Harbour a taste of their own medicine, showing that as long as the team's pockets are full, there is no need to worry about the lack of strong players. Because of its financial strength, Harbour has become a dream stage for many players. At a time when most clubs are struggling to make ends meet, if Harbour is willing to spend as much money as they can, they don't have to worry about finding young players with both potential and strength. The rebuilding of the championship is just around the corner.
If the sports world says so, then Seaport is indeed acting like it. When the winter transfer window comes to an end, if you find out that apart from Tao Qianglong, there are other strong young players joining Seaport, then this is proof enough that Seaport is committed to building a new Seaport and continue to move towards the road to the championship.
While other teams are still chasing international players over the age of 30, Seaport has already taken a different approach: they have more money than you, they work harder than you, and they move faster than you. It's no wonder that the media has described their strategy as "going dark and refusing to lie flat".
