On August 13, sports blogger “Chinese Super League Observer” wrote that Shanghai Shenhua player Cao Yunding has not appeared on the team’s matchday roster since June 30, and currently he has no injuries.
The blogger wrote that since the away game on June 30 when they beat Qingdao West Coast 1-0, Shanghai Shenhua’s number 28 Cao Yunding has not appeared on the team’s matchday roster. The last time he played for Shenhua was on June 21 in the FA Cup, where he came on as a substitute against Foshan Nanxiong. Cao Yunding’s last league appearance dates back to May 15, when he came on in the 90th minute against Qingdao Hainiu.
Furthermore, the blogger stated unequivocally that Cao Yunding currently has no injuries and has been training individually recently.
It is reported that Cao Yunding is the first player in Shenhua’s history to have played over 300 league games. In the 9th round of the league, Shenhua’s match against Cangzhou Lions was his 300th league appearance for Shenhua. In that game, he dribbled past three players and delivered an assist, which was also his only assist this season.
The blogger also mentioned that Cao Yunding joined Shanghai Shenhua in 2011. Over the past decade, he and captain Moreno have become the team’s iconic figures. He is also the current Shenhua player with the most goals for the team. Although Cao Yunding has a strong personality, he has always been loyal to Shenhua. During the era of big-money football, clubs offered him a salary of 20 million yuan per year, but he refused and chose to stay with Shenhua.
This year is Cao Yunding’s contract year, and his contract will expire in December.
