Soccer-Brazilians Oscar, Hulk to make Asian Champions League bows


SEOUL, Feb 20 (Reuters) - All eyes will be on new Brazilian international signings Oscar and Hulk when big spenders Shanghai SIPG begin their Asian Champions League Group F campaign at FC Seoul on Tuesday. The Chinese Super League club spent a reported 100 million pounds ($124.58 million) to sign the pair from Chelsea and Zenit St Petersburg respectively in December, having previously hired former Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas. Oscar, who earns about 400,000 pounds a week according to media reports, and Hulk are expected to start at the FC Seoul stadium against the 2013 tournament runners-up. "Oscar and Hulk are completely fine, very well integrated with the team," Villas-Boas told a news conference on Monday. FC Seoul will have to prove they can be formidable without Brazilian forward Adriano, last season's top scorer in the competition with 13 goals.
