Players to Watch

Gustavo (Shanghai Port)

After the departure of Matias Vargas and Oscar from the team, Gustavo has a lot of pressure on his shoulders. The 30-year-old will have to step up and come up with some interesting moves in the attacking front to score some goals. He has scored two goals in the last five games for Shanghai Port in all competitions.

In the 3-1 win over Henan FC, Gustavo came off the bench at 79th min and made his debut for Shanghai Port. The 30-year-old Brazilian striker joined SH Port from Jeonbuk as a free agent. But he was absent in the first two rounds in #ChineseSuperLeague due to injury.#CSL #CSL2024 pic.twitter.com/DFWF216tmG
