In the crucial game before the season break, Paulinho proved his value, and Oscar in the penalty area, a precise stab shot through the door of Tianjin Jinmen Tiger. The goal not only showed the Brazilian foreign aid's outstanding individual ability, what is more incredible is that this is his first goal since he came to China for one and a half years. After piercing this layer of windowpaper, Paulinho said in an interview, he did not hide the fact that he is eager to harvest more: whether it is a goal or an assist, all of them are fascinated by him, but the most desired is the trophy! At the end of last month, the Harbour Team encountered two strong opponents in succession, namely the battle of Beijing Guoan on the 28th and the battle of Shanghai Shenhua on the 31st. After the restart of the league, the team's overall status is general, especially in the offensive end, after the return of Arnautovic, the team has been lack of effective deep advancement, the number of goals plummeted. In this context, reinforcements have become the most direct and effective way to change the status quo. However, who to bring in has become a difficult problem. Affected by the epidemic, it is extremely risky to bring in reinforcements from the European transfer market during the league period. In addition to the time cost, the players had to go through a long quarantine period after arriving in China, and if they were unable to play for the team for the whole of August, then it would not make much sense to bring in reinforcements like this. Therefore, the Harbour Club intended from the beginning to look for available foreign aid within the Chinese Super League. Players from the financially troubled Hebei team were indeed a good choice. But those clubs with a decent financial situation, such as Seaport, are facing their own problems. After the FA introduced a clear salary cap policy, Seaport strictly adhered to the rules and kept a tight rein on spending on foreign aid and foreign coaches. At the beginning of the season, the team sent away its captain Hulk, and skipper Leko's annual salary is only 2 million euros, while the annual salary of foreign center back Mysztorowicz is no more than 2 million euros before tax. Of course, taking into account the other inputs of the first team, including player salaries, the Harbour Team has set relevant standards for the price (annual salary) of new recruits. It is for this reason that the Harbour have a number of targets to choose from, but very few of them are actually able to sit down and negotiate. Malcolm may be a typical example of this, however, in terms of salary budget, some Chinese Super League clubs including Seaport could not even offer the price offered by individual Chinese League One saloons, and the senior winger eventually chose to join Wuhan Sanzhen.
