Shanghai Shenhua performed well in the new season Chinese Super League and won the recognition of many fans. Shenhua remained unbeaten in the first 7 rounds, which surprised the outside world. Because Shenhua's overall lineup configuration is average, it is not enough to support the team's good results in the league. Shenhua was also affected by the salary dispute with former coach Flores and was unable to register new players. Therefore, Shenhua was once regarded as a favorite for relegation in the Chinese Super League. It is such a team that can usher in an explosion thanks to the rejuvenation of Wu Jingui and .

After Wu Jingui took over Shenhua, he made drastic changes to the team's main lineup. Wu Jingui promoted some powerful new stars and made some veterans fade out of the starting lineup. At the same time, Shenhua didn't even have the level of substitutes , Cong Zhen, and Xu Yougang, so they were excluded from the big list by Wu Jingui. Cong Zhen and Xu Yougang are both in their prime, so there should be no problem playing as substitutes for Shenhua.

Cong Zhen is a regular player in the 1997 Olympic team and played the main role in Shenhua. Xu Yougang served as the starting right back for Shenhua and performed well. Xu Yougang's most glorious moment at Shenhua was when he represented the team in the game against Evergrande . He scored a very exciting goal. Therefore, many fans were indeed surprised that Xu Yougang and Cong Zhen failed to enter the first team roster at Shenhua.

Xu Yougang and Cong Zhen may face a big reversal of fortune in the future, because many of Shenhua's main players have the opportunity to be transferred by the national football selection team to participate in the East Asian Cup . Wu Xi , Zhu Chenjie , Jiang Shenglong , Liu Ruofan are all favorites to be selected for the national football selection team. If nothing goes wrong, these main players will follow the national football selection team to play in the East Asian Cup. By then, Shenhua's first team will need to strengthen some plug-and-play players, so Xu Yougang and Cong Zhen, the two must-leave players, will usher in a counterattack in Shenhua's fortunes and may become regulars in the team's first team in the future. This is very rare for Xu Yougang and Cong Zhen. Because this is their only chance to stay in Shenhua, if they can seize it, they will naturally stay on the team.

If Xu Yougang and Cong Zhen cannot seize this opportunity in Shenhua, then they should consider leaving the team. After all, Xu Yougang and Cong Zhen are both in the prime period of their careers. If they were in Shenhua's first team, they wouldn't even be able to make the roster. The two can consider playing for some Chinese Super League teams to avoid relegation. Xu Yougang and Cong Zhen are at least as strong as the Hebei team, so they can lock in a starting position. The Hebei team has taken the initiative to form a youth guard this century, mainly promoting young players, and needs experienced players like Cong Zhen and Xu Yougang to take charge. It is hoped that Cong Zhen and Xu Yougang can collectively break out under the new club, lock in the core players as soon as possible, and usher in a new peak in their careers.
