Shanghai SIPG finally won the friendly tie against Al-Batin with a 2-1 score.

"I only trained for two days. This is the start of a new season. We have only one goal, which is to win," Oscar said after the match.

The Brazilian international also complimented his Chinese teammates for displaying an impressive performance in such a short time.

Oscar will make an official debut for Shanghai SIPG in March when the new season for Chinese Super League (CSL) begins.

The Brazilian midfielder is by far the biggest CSL signing for the 2017 season. The Shanghai-based club snatched him from Chelsea with a record transfer fee, which apparently is one of the costliest transfer deals in Football's history.  

Former Manchester United player Carlos Tevez is another high profile signing for CSL this month.
