A tragedy in team history! Malele wears a hat and Cressan dyes red, Taishan away 0-6 Shenhua

On July 6, Shenhua faced Shandong Taishan at home, staged a veritable "tiger out of the cage" drama, and directly swallowed the opponent with a score of 6-0 with a sharp tactical layout. Shenhua's tactical superiority was evident in this game, breaking the deadlock in one fell swoop with a quick score from a corner kick just two minutes into the opening game. And Taishan's defense seems a little helpless, Shenhua not only showed such ferocity in the opening, the ball control and offensive rhythm of the whole game are firmly in their hands, this oppressive tactical arrangement makes Taishan team defenseless, can only watch their goals are broken again and again.

Speaking of individual heroes, we have to mention Shenhua's Malele, a player who scored a hat-trick in the game, and the strength of his individual ability was fully reflected on the field. Featuring back-to-back goals in the 11th and 18th minutes, Malele showcased his superb shooting skills and positional sense, and his performance was not only a build-up of his own record, but also a symbol of Shenhua's attacking firepower.

The red card incident on the pitch also added a touch of drama to the game. Tarzan's Cressan was sent off for accumulating two yellow cards, which was a hole for his team. Cressan's departure directly put Taishan at a numerical disadvantage, and the balance of the game was completely tilted in favor of Shenhua. From a tactical point of view, Taishan's behavior of "self-damage of eight hundred" is almost a big gift to the opponent, while Shenhua is seizing the opportunity to further increase the offensive and make the score look even more disparity.

Speaking of Wu Xi's "golden" point card, I really love and hate. stepped on someone else's ankle again, accumulated four yellows and was suspended, and he had to miss the next game. Wu Xi's position on the court is more critical, which can be called Shenhua's brain and the first protective net in front of the defensive line, without him, the organization and defensive pressure in the midfield is bound to increase greatly. It's like the janitor at your door suddenly asks for leave, and the order in front of the door is immediately not so orderly. Shenhua's coach has a headache, how to adjust tactics and personnel to make up for this vacancy? Fortunately, the depth of the Shenhua bench is good, see who can accept the order in danger and stand up to the cusp. Wu Xi's absence, the opponent has to steal the fun, after all, Shenhua is missing a midfield tactical core, and the offensive and defensive conversion may be half a beat slower, can the opponent take advantage of the void?

After conceding the goal in just 2 minutes of the opening game, Taishan's defensive stability and reaction speed were really worrying. Shenhua's quick counterattack was simply an open mode, and the coordination between the Taishan defenders was as rusty as if they were meeting for the first time, and they all looked at each other's eyes and acted, but they were caught off guard. From beginning to end, Tarzan seemed to be exploring a maze in front of his own door, and he was stunned by Shenhua's fast attack without paying attention. In this regard, Taishan needs to strengthen the speed and efficiency of defensive transitions in future training, especially the tacit understanding between the central defenders and the retreat defense in the frontcourt, otherwise this kind of situation will only be staged on the field by the fast attack.

Speaking of Luiz's goal, it was really a brilliant stroke. While the Tarzan players were still struggling with how to intercept crosses, Luis had already turned gracefully in the box and slashed through the opposition goal. It was not only a goal, but a perfect showcase of Shenhua's attacking versatility. From the air to the ground, from long-range shots to close-up shots, the Shenhua team is like a warrior with multiple weapons, taking turns in various ways to make the opponent unguardable. Under this offensive, Tarzan's defensive line was like a rice field blown by the wind, staggering from side to side. Such offensive diversity undoubtedly gives Shenhua more tactical options and on-court advantages, and it is difficult for opponents to guess their next step!

The mistakes in Taishan's defense are simply a wonderful "mistake award". From the individual to the whole, from the ground to the air, the ubiquitous defensive flaws flashed like a marquee. First, the marking was lax, so that Shenhua's players were in the penalty area as if they were in a no-man's land; Then there is the slow response, which has no effective response to Shenhua's quick counterattack. Shenhua's every corner and set-piece was a threat, and the Taishan defenders seemed to lose their sense of direction at these critical moments, and the organised defensive arrangements were almost empty talk. This kind of defense makes people want to ask, should Taishan's defensive coach go back and rebuild "Defense 101"? Or should the defenders be spoilt in their bread to keep them awake and agile during the game? In short, Taishan's defensive performance is definitely the "culprit" of this fiasco.

Shenhua's midfield organization was particularly crucial in this game against Taishan. We know that a successful midfielder must not only be able to pass the ball and cut through the opposition's defence, but also be able to change the tempo of the game at any time like a juggler. Shenhua's midfield is such a sophisticated machine, especially the combination of Amadou and Wu Xi, which is simply a nightmare for Taishan midfielders. Taishan's midfield seemed to be immobilized, and in the face of Shenhua's smart passing and efficient interceptions, they could only watch the opponent spin around in their half. In the game, whenever Taishan tried to organize an attack, Shenhua's midfielder was like a preset trap, cutting off their offensive again and again, effectively limiting Taishan's offensive space, which was not only a perfect restraint on the opponent's strategy, but also made people have to admire the tactical arrangement of the Shenhua coaching staff and the execution of the players.

The performance of Gao Tianyi and Teixeira is another highlight of this game. Teixeira's "dance" shaking and shooting, although it failed to score directly, was enough to make the opposing defenders fearful. Gao Tianyi's passing and position selection reflect his rare wisdom on the field. These two were like wings in the game, leading Shenhua's offensive to fly high. Gao Tianyi's accurate crosses in the game again and again, and Teixeira's continuous breakthroughs in the front court, greatly tore apart Taishan's defense, allowing people to see the depth and breadth of Shenhua's attack. It was this kind of performance that made them shine in the game and propelled Shenhua towards victory.

Discussing Tarzan's injury problem, it has to be said that this is a big factor in the collapse of their defensive line. The absence of the two main central defenders on Taishan's side, Judson and Zheng Zheng, made their defense full of holes, especially when facing a team like Shenhua with both skill and speed, they seemed even more helpless. It's like a vegetable garden without a fence, allowing Shenhua's forwards to rampage inside. This not only reflects Taishan's passivity in personnel deployment, but also exposes their shortcomings in responding to emergencies. The game is like a mirror, directly reflecting Taishan's lack of depth and breadth, and the direct consequence of this injury is the score fiasco, which is also a problem that they need to seriously reflect on and solve in the future.

The competitiveness that Shenhua showed in the game was not only the overwhelming dominance in the scoreline, but also how they completely controlled the game in all aspects. From tactical execution to player psychology, Shenhua has shown that they are the top force in the Chinese Super League. Especially in this game, every player in Shenhua is like a tactical executor, their movements, passes and shots are strictly followed by the deployment of the coach, this robot-like execution and high efficiency is the key to their ability to lead all the way in the Chinese Super League.
