East Sports: Harbour cancels Gustavo s registration because Leonardo is efficient and staying in the team to play in the AFC Champions League is an option

July 18th, the Oriental Sports Daily published an article to analyze the reasons why the port canceled the Gustavo League registration, and also gave suggestions on Gustavo's choice in the future. There are several reasons why

is Gustavo. First of all, the result of the adjustment of the position structure. As mentioned earlier, Harbour's offensive football and overall oppression in the league last year were largely based on midfield control, among which the operation of the three players, Jusa, Chitardini and Oscar was quite critical. Because of the Oscars, the rest of the midfield can play more freely and brilliantly. This year, after the Oscar left the team, everyone needed to pay more for the midfield, which is why the team showed insufficient control in some games. First, the personnel changes greatly and the system was readjusted, and second, it is difficult for someone to truly replace the Oscar, so they can only think of another way.

In the past few games, Harbour has shown itself as a single forward formation. After Muscart defeated Dalian Yingbo at home, he mentioned that the single forward formation is to increase the number of players in the midfield and increase control. So from the above perspectives, after Merendo arrives, the only person to be replaced will be Gustavo or Leonardo.

The second point is because Leonardo has just joined and is a new player who is strongly introduced by Muscart's coaching staff and the club has been finalized at a considerable price. In terms of value, age, contract length, etc., they are more "advantage" in the competition than Gustavo, who has only half a year left in the contract. Generally speaking, if Gustavo is left now and renting Leonardo out, it will be necessary to focus on renewal. However, if the contract renewal is not clear enough, it is not difficult to understand that Gustavo becomes the person who was adjusted.

The third point is to compare the characteristics of Leonardo and Gustavo. Gustavo has obvious tactical value, and his heading ability and height are outstanding in the league. Leonardo's biggest advantage is his scoring ability, and his grasp of efficiency is higher. For Muscart, who even taught everyone to score more goals in the game, this is what he values the most, so it is not surprising that the team chose to keep Leonardo in the end.

This is obviously a difficult and tangled choice. After more than a year of getting along, Gustavo's goal, his diligence on the court, and his modesty off the court have all left a deep impression. In just one and a half seasons, he scored 31 goals for the Harbour, tied for the third place in the team's history scorer list. This is how professional football is. You always have to make continuous choices, make continuous choices, and then continue to set off. Since the decision has been made, the Harbour Club has to share the responsibility and strive for each other's goals for the rest of the season.

Gustavo still has a half-year contract with the Harbour. After the league registration is revoked, he will have two options in the future. One is to continue to stay in the team to compete in the AFC Champions League, and the Harbour, which holds the contract, has the right to make such a request. Of course, given that the contract is only half a year left, according to normal circumstances, other teams can also contact them if they are interested, but if they want to leave at this window, they also need to negotiate with the Harbour. Therefore, we still need to wait and see how the future will be.
