The rise of TEDA seems to have given Shanghai Hong Kong the time to lend a helping hand. In recent years, Hong Kong has continued to poach core players from TEDA, and now, it may be the right time for them to give back. However, the timing of TEDA's recovery is quite delicate, because Hong Kong has previously loaned out a number of players, if you provide TEDA with a helping hand, I'm afraid it will be a bit overstretched.
TEDA's connection with Shanghai
The chart below shows all the players under the age of 23 (not including 23) in the Shanghai Hong Kong squad. According to my speculation, at least three players will be loaned to TEDA. However, the list of three will obviously not include Chen Binbin and Hayletti. At the moment, Shanghai Hong Kong are happy to loan out players so as not to hit the investment cap set by the FA. TEDA, on the other hand, has no choice but to put together a team as long as they have people coming in to kick it up a notch. After all, relegation is a handful for TEDA!
Hong Kong Young Players Lineup
However, apart from the players mentioned above, it seems difficult for Hong Kong to provide other assistance to TEDA. Let's take a look at a few more of the older players in the squad. The five oldest players in the SIPG team include Yu Hai, Stanley Wang, Lu Wenjun, Arnautovic and Sun Le. Among them, Sun Le is most likely to join TEDA (Sun Le's trial with Cangzhou Lions didn't work out), while the other four are either starters or starters' substitutes, and in any case, the landlord's family doesn't have any extra "grain" left!
