Lopez had already insulated the seaport for a time, but on the last day of March, news came from Shanghai that Lopez originally planned to take the flight from Switzerland to Shanghai to be cancelled for some reason. In desperation, the controversial person temporarily Return to Brazil. However, being able to plan to recall Lopez is also enough to illustrate a problem: the seaport team’s gun search is not smooth.
At the end of February, this newspaper disclosed that Lopez is likely to be sold by the seaport, because the current salary situation tends to be saturated. If the Harbour team wants to bring in a new foreign forward, they must sell at least one old foreign player. After that, Lopez did find a next home through his agent, and even did not exclude returning to the K-League. But with the closing of the transfer window of the Korea-Japan League, Lopez’s options are getting narrower. In recent days, he has continued to speak through the Brazilian media, “I am very motivated to compete in the Chinese Super League this season, and I will do my best to ensure that all work this year can be carried out as planned. Now, I am very focused on taking over in 2022. Do your best in the next few months.”
Asked if he was about to leave the harbour and look for his next home, Lopez did not deny it. He said, “We’ve done some searching over the last few months and I’ve tried to hand everything over to my agent, which is reassuring because it’s an endorsement of my work and I want to put this Responsibilities are left to my agent and Shanghai Haigang.” It is worth mentioning that Lopez’s agent is also an “old client” of Haigang, who has represented Oscar, Pereira, Arnautovic and other transfers. But this time, he didn’t quickly find a home for the Brazilian.
In fact, even if Lopez cannot be sold, it will not affect the signings of the Harbour Club. But the problem is that the gun hunt itself has not made much progress. It is reported that not long ago, the club also received recommendations from some new foreign forwards, and one of the Portuguese Super League forwards quickly entered their field of vision. But it soon died down. Later, there was a saying that the Haigang team planned to save the work of strengthening the striker until this summer. By July, the signing of the striker may have a big move. Therefore, the coaching staff still very much hope that the U23 national team will return as soon as possible. The implication is that they intend to continue to bet on Liu Zhurun in the first stage of the expedition. However, considering that Liu Zhurun has been in the men’s Olympic team and the men’s Asian Games team throughout the winter training period, and has never practiced with the Haigang team, the club also quickly recalled Paulinho. On March 19, the latter had arrived in the country with head coach Lecco and was recently under quarantine observation. As for Lopez, it is also a remedy for the seaports to deal with the difficulty of finding new aid in the first half of the year.
From this point of view, according to the plan for the first half of the year, the Haigang team is still dominated by the original team at the end of last year, namely three foreign guns Oscar, Paulinho, Lopez, plus three local shooters Li Shenglong, Lu Wenjun and Liu Zhurun. But now, it is difficult for Lopez to catch up with the first stage of the new season, which is bound to make the coaching staff very difficult. Of course, Dai Weijun, who has always been favored by the port, is also an option. But as of now, this transfer deal has not been written out. The main problem is that the salary dispute between the latter and the original club has not yet been settled. As for the old acquaintance Exon, the distance from the former club is getting farther and farther.
In addition, what makes the coaching staff of the first team anxious is that due to the impact of the epidemic environment, the Haigang team has suspended training on and off for several days. At this stage, not to mention arranging quality warm-up matches, even spontaneous team training cannot be carried out. In recent days, many Haigang players have practiced at home by themselves. In contrast, Shanghai Shenhua, the rivals in the same city, can close their preparations at the Cambridge base, while the other strong teams, Taishan, Yatai, Sanzhen, Guoan, etc., are also normal. Start spring training. It is reported that the Haigang team is planning to train southward, and the location is inclined to Haikou. Just in a few days, Lecco and Paulinho can also be released from isolation and observation and return to the team. However, Henan Songshan Longmen, Beijing Guoan and Meizhou Hakka, who are training there, will leave one after another in the next week or two. It is unknown how many quality warm-up matches will be available. Coupled with the increasingly hot weather in Shanghai, this plan does not look perfect.Return to Sohu, see more
