Wang Shilong, the standout from Team Guangzhou's youth camp, played a full CPL season in the 2022 season. His size and skill set is reminiscent of that physical Zhang Linmiao, capable of playing in two different positions. However, he is only 1.77 meters tall, which seems like a small shame for a center back. Facing the two international defenders Zhu Chenjie and Jiang Shenglong in Shenhua's team, Wang Shilong will be more responsible for the heavy responsibility of the side backs. Looking back to the past season, Shenhua had suffered from the vacancy of side backs, Wu Xi also played this role, and now the team has optimized the age structure of the players by attracting reinforcements.
With the impressive performance of left-back Chen Jin, Shenhua need not worry about the left-back position for the next decade. Right back Wang Shilong, on the other hand, is in dire need of a platform to showcase his talent, having gained a wealth of experience in the seasons he spent with Guangzhou. Shenhua are expected to become the first team in the Chinese Super League to have an all-00 back lineup next season, which will further boost the team's renewal rate. Meanwhile, goalkeeper Ma Zhen is looking to leave the team, having been part of the national team, unwilling to serve as a substitute and confused about his future. He was expected to join Ma Yunqun, a promoted team in the Chinese Super League, to become the team's starting goalkeeper. Unfortunately, Dalian Yingbo did not give him such an opportunity.
The transfer window for Chinese Super League (CSL) teams has begun enthusiastically, with the ban on transfers in the three Wuhan towns gradually being relaxed and teams working on plans to pay back salary arrears. It is expected that no team in the Chinese Super League will be disbanded this year, and those who hope to make up for their mistakes are afraid of being disappointed. In the introduction of foreign aid, Shanghai Shenhua conservative attitude, will not rush to make a decision. In terms of internal aid, Shenhua is more inclined to appease those players who can not play, in order to maintain the integrity of the lineup. Wang Shilong, as Shenhua's first internal aid signing this year, will participate in the team's first phase of winter training. Meanwhile, Guangzhou is trying to solve the problem of salary arrears, and some players may leave as a result, and Shenhua is closely monitoring this development. After all, Guangzhou's young players all possess great potential worth cultivating.
