In fact, Li Chunjiang's signings are divided into three parts: coaching staff, foreign aid and domestic players. In terms of coaching staff, Yao Ming's mentor Li Qiuping will serve as the team's consultant, and Li Chunjiang's old partners in Guangsha, Jie Jun and Lu Wei, also joined the Shanghai team. Together with Liu Wei and Liu Peng, former members of the Shanghai team, Li Chunjiang's coaching staff has been very complete.
In terms of foreign aid, Fredette, who is deeply loved by fans, is likely to continue to renew his contract. He played well in Shanghai for several seasons. Last season, if it weren't for the last injury, the Shanghai team might have made the playoffs, but the goal of the Shanghai team was to win the championship. There are other options besides Freddie. They contacted Jones, but it is said that the two sides have not reached an agreement yet. Basically, Jones will not join Shanghai, and the Shanghai team is still interested in Jeremy Lin. He has already.
However, the biggest possibility for the Shanghai team is to renew Fredette's contract, but the team still needs to find a big foreign aid. The candidate is probably Beasley, who played in Shanghai, but Li Chunjiang, who has suffered losses in foreign aid, should be more cautious about this candidate.
In terms of domestic signings, the list of Shanghai teams is very long, including Wang Zhelin, Sun Minghui, Zhao Jiwei and qi zhou. However, among these people, qi zhou is more difficult to deal with. Although he is likely to leave Xinjiang, he prefers to go back to Liaoning or join Beijing, and is unlikely to go to Shanghai.
Wang Zhelin is more likely because the contract between Wang Zhelin and Fujian has expired. At the end of the season, the Shanghai team made contact with Wang Zhelin. If Fujian team is willing to let Wang Zhelin leave, then he has the greatest chance to join Shanghai. If we get Wang Zhelin, then the Shanghai team will definitely have a place next season.
It is unlikely that the other two players, Zhao Jiwei, will leave Liaoning, while Sun Minghui is very likely to join Hong Kong with his mentor, because Sun Minghui has made it clear that he will not stay in Guangsha, and he is also very familiar with Li Chunjiang's tactical system, so the possibility is still very high. The Shanghai team put forward the slogan of winning the championship for three years before, and now it is the third year. Last season, it spent a lot of money to attract several players, such as Ke, Zong Zan, He Chong and Guo Haowen.
This season, the Shanghai team will continue to spend a lot of money to build the team, so it's not that Li Chunjiang can't sign anyone now, but it's not yet time.
