Wu Lei's hat trick put pressure on Shanghai Shenhua again, and the two championship teams were only one goal apart. Whoever makes the mistake first will fall behind, Harbour's attack this year is unique, and Shenhua relies on defense to win. In the 17th round of the Chinese Super League, Shenhua played against Qingdao West Coast, and the second-ranked team played against the penultimate team, with a large gap in strength. Hisashi Kurosaki opted for conservatism, with Alain returning and two foreign players coming on as a substitute. Shenhua kept 5 foreign starters, the goal was only three points, and the goal had to count on Malele.
In the middle of the season, Shenhua renewed the contracts of Teixeira and Amadou, and Malele, who joined at the same time, did not get the opportunity to renew his contract early. His ability to take chances and the roughness of his handling of the ball have made him controversial. However, Malele's performance of scoring 5 goals in the last 4 games has become a thigh and is expected to complete the contract extension. In the opening 23 seconds of the game, Malele broke through to the goal, and teammate Andre Luis had an empty chance, but Malele chose to shoot himself and was blocked out of the bottom line. This ball Malele has some solitude, and his teammates are also dissatisfied.
Alan was in good shape after his comeback, Duan Liu Yu went straight to the stopper, Alan shook off the defender, and his left-footed shot was saved by Bao Yaxiong. Although Qingdao West Coast is at the bottom of the rankings, its tactical style of play is very sharp, and it is not a team that is easy to collapse and surrender. can surpass Shenhua in possession, and the midfield can control the ball, but the offensive end lacks players with strong individual ability, and Alan is difficult to support alone. In the 18th minute of the game, there was a big gap on the left side of Shenhua, and the West Coast crossed, and Lulsson's header almost broke the goal.
Shenhua couldn't grab the ball, and in the 20th minute of the game, Gao Tianyi shot from a distance and the goalkeeper got out of his hand, Malele scored with a supplementary shot, and the referee signaled offside. Jiang Shenglong received a yellow card, accumulating 4 yellow cards, and will miss the next round against the Taishan team. Shenhua broke the dense defense, and there were not many ways, and the number of fouls on both sides increased. Shenhua played badly, and not dominating has become the norm, Slutsky replaced Xie Pengfei at halftime, and had one more point on the offensive end, replacing Andre Luiz.
Replacing the foreign aid center, this substitution is very bold, counting this game, Andre Luis has 0 goals and 0 assists in 7 games. In the 47th minute of the game, Xie Pengfei scored a goal, but the ball went out of the bottom line in advance, which was the second invalid goal scored by Shenhua in this game. In the 54th minute of the game, Malele shot too positively from the front, and Shenhua did not play like a championship team. The pace is slow, the tactics are single, as long as there is no space for Malele, Shenhua is basically lacking in goals. And gave the West Coast too many opportunities to fight back.
In the 68th minute of the game, Qingdao West Coast counterattacked, taking advantage of the width of the playing field, Riascos crossed, and Liu Yu's shot was saved. Luck was not on Shenhua's side, Malele was less than 1 meter away from the goalkeeper, and the empty goal was missed, and it was more difficult to kick the ball than to kick it. I can't grasp this kind of opportunity, Malele is fragrant and smelly. In the 93rd minute of the game, Wu Xi's header was stunning, Shenhua won 1-0, the penultimate team, there was no danger, Shenhua accumulated 43 points after this game, 45 points from the harbor, and was already behind by 2, Wu Xi's header made Slutsky breathe a sigh of relief, Shenhua still had the opportunity to change foreign aid, Malele did not score, perhaps it was a turning point of change.
