Hulk and Oscar are being handsomely rewarded for completing big-money transfers and will be expected to offer a return on the investment made in them.
The duo did combine for an eye-catching goal in their most recent outing, although they were unable to prevent Shanghai from slipping to a 3-2 defeat.
Hulk’s towering header from an Oscar cross did pull them level on the day, but there was to be a late twist in the tale.
