The Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua, the composition of which will be considered in this article, is not the leader in its championship. In this country there is another club from this city, which is much more powerful and promising. However, do not deduct from the accounts and "Shanghai Shenhua." The composition of this team includes both interesting Chinese football players and well-known foreign players.
Goalkeepers
So, what is the composition of the Shanghai Shenhua club? Naturally, it’s worth starting with the goalkeepers, but there is nothing outstanding here. The main goalkeeper is the experienced 34-year-old Li Shuai, who is replacing the 31-year-old Qiu Shengjun. However, goalkeepers are not all that the Shanghai Shenhua club has. The composition includes field players.
Protection
The defensive lines of the club consist exclusively of Chinese players, which stands out from the rest of the Shanghai Shenhua clubs. The composition of the team of any of the leaders of the championship at least a third already consists of legionnaires, while this team is based on Chinese players. The one exception is Kim Ki-hee, a 27-year-old Korean who is the pillar of defense. Most often, Li Jianbin comes out with him in the center of defense, and on the flanks of defense you can usually see Chinese players like Bai Jiatsun 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 Fredi Guarin, who is known for his performances in the Portuguese “Port” and the Italian “Inter”. Together with him, the most often played is the Chinese defender Van Shoutin. As for the flanks, they are usually divided between Cao Yundin and another legionnaire, Colombian Giovanni Moreno.
Unlike Guarin, Moreno did not shine in European football, but moved to China directly from South America. And he did this a long time ago - in 2012. That is why now he is the captain of the team.
Attack
And of course, one cannot fail to mention the attack of this club. After all, this zone is the strongest, since two quite famous legionnaires play here. The Nigerian Obafemi Martins is on the cutting edge, 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 the United States before moving to China in the winter of 2016.
A little lower in the attack is the legendary Argentinean
Carlos Tevez, who at one time was one of the strongest players in European football. He has played for Manchester United, Manchester City and Juventus. In 2015, he returned to his homeland to end his career, but in the winter of 2017 he received an offer that he could not refuse, and moved to Shanghai Shenhua.
Naturally, this is far from all the players in this club. However, his strongest representatives were listed above, who appear on the field more often than others and can seriously affect the final result. Perhaps the Tevez crossing will allow the club to rise a little higher.
