"Shanghai Shenhua": the composition of the club

The Chinese club "Shanghai Shenhua", the composition of which will be considered in this article, is not leading in its championship. In this country there is another club from this city, which is much more powerful and promising. However, do not write off and "Shanghai Shenhua." The composition of this team includes both interesting Chinese footballers and well-known foreign players.

Goalkeepers

So, what is the "Shanghai Shenhua" club's composition? Start, of course, is with the goalkeepers, but there is nothing outstanding. The main goalkeeper is the experienced 34-year-old Li Shuai, on the substitution of which is 31-year-old Qiu Shengjun. However, goalkeepers are not all that the Shanghai Shenhua Club has. The composition includes the field players.

Protection

The defensive lines of the club consist exclusively of Chinese players, than stands out against the background of other clubs "Shanghai Shenhua". The team of any of the leaders of the championship at least a third already consists of foreign players, while this team is based on the Chinese players. The only exception is Kim Ki Hee, a 27-year-old Korean, who is the pillar of defense. Most often in a pair with him in the center of protection is Li Jianbin, and on the flanks of defense, you can usually see such Chinese players as Bai Jiaqun and Zhang Lu.

Midfield

As for the middle line of FC "Shanghai Shenhua", the composition here is more diverse. For example, in the central zone there is always a Colombian Fredy Guarin, who is known for his performances in the Portuguese "Porte" and Italian "Inter". In a pair with him most often plays a defense-oriented Chinese Wang Shouting. As for the flanks, they are usually divided among themselves by Cao Yundin and another legionary, Colombian Giovanni Moreno. Unlike Guarin, Moreno did not shine in European football, and moved to China directly from South America. And he did it for a long time - in 2012. That's why now he is the captain of the team.

Attack

And of course, we can not fail to mention the attack of this club. After all, this is the strongest zone, because there are two pretty famous legionnaires here. On the spearhead stands the Nigerian Obafemi Martins, who gained fame back in 2002, when he played for Inter. Then he managed to play in English "Newcastle", German "Wolfsburg" and even Russian "Ruby", thanks to which this striker is well known to Russian-speaking fans. He also played in Spain and in the US before moving to China in the winter of 2016. A little lower in the attack stands the legendary Argentine Carlos Tevez, who at one time was one of the strongest football players in European football. He played for Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus. In 2015, he returned to his homeland to retire, but in the winter of 2017 he received an offer that he could not refuse, and moved to Shanghai Shenhua.

Naturally, this is not all the players of this club. However, his strongest representatives were listed above, who most often appear on the field and can seriously affect the final result. Perhaps, Tevez's transition will allow the club to rise a little higher.
