In the preparation stage of the magnificent Chinese Super League, this year's situation is particularly unusual. On the one hand, some clubs are in trouble due to the break of the financial chain, on the other hand, the Football Association's payroll restrictions have led to the departure of many big-name foreign aiders, which undoubtedly brought unprecedented challenges and changes to the clubs and players. Into the winter window period, the former giants of the strategy also came a hundred and eighty degree turn, Evergrande first "only out not into", so far no new aid to join; followed by Suning is directly announced the suspension of transportation, lost the qualification to compete in the Chinese Super League.
However, the once-great Shandong Luneng is showing signs of recovery. The team is not soft on reinforcements, internal reinforcements, Shi Ke, Xu Xin, Ji Xiang and other strength players have joined; external reinforcements, K League MVP Sun Junho and J League scorer Leonardo also arrived. Although Leonardo is only 1 meter 8 tall, compared with Pelé's 1 meter 94 is slightly insufficient, lack of experience playing in the top European leagues, but the new season Luneng can continue the strong performance, is still a mystery to be solved.
Just when the outside world thought that Luneng's reinforcement work had been finalized, new faces were found in the training camp. Foreign aid player Sangol is one of them. The Senegalese striker played for Inner Mongolia Zhongyou for five seasons, making 107 appearances and 101 starts, scoring 59 goals and sending nine assists, showing a good attacking power. Despite being 35 years old, Sangol is expected to play a key role in the tactics as he is similar to Pele with his 1 meter 88 height.
