It is also a championship team, Shanghai Port plays very easily, the game consumes less, often wins by large scores, and foreign players can have enough rest time. For example, in the last game, he dared to replace Wu Lei and Vargas early, Shenhua gritted his teeth and kicked every game, and foreign aides such as Malele and Amadou were rarely replaced in advance. Injuries and suspensions are not accidental, the gap of 2 points, Shenhua has not caught up for half a season, 5 points seems to be an insurmountable gap, and the initiative is not in their own hands.
Zhu Chenjie overestimated Wang Ziming, in the final stage of the game, his physical fitness and psychology reached the limit, Wang Ziming, who had just come on the field, was calm enough, in fact, as long as Zhu Chenjie prevented the inward cut, Wang Ziming couldn't score this goal. This is just a microcosm of Shenhua's game, Slutsky played to the end with a lineup, and even his hometown Wu Xi did not have a chance to rest, the regular rotation lineup was about 15 people, if it weren't for Teixeira and Manafa's injuries, Fernando and Chen Jinyi were still sitting on the bench and looking at it.
After the end of 4 consecutive away games, Shenhua ushered in three consecutive home games, and strive to win, on August 10 against Nantong Zhiyun, the last round of Nantong to the three points of the hand flew, has been ranked at the bottom, Nantong burst out of the energy, so that Shenhua dare not slack, and is just lost, it is easy to lose in a row. On August 17, the real champion of the Chinese Super League this year belonged to the decisive battle, facing Harbour at home, Shenhua's win was close to 2 points, and the loss will be stretched to 8 points. The derby is played as a final, and Shenhua lost 5-0 at home to Harbour last season.
Shenhua scored 52 goals in 22 games, which is a qualitative improvement compared with last season, but compared with the harbor, the gap is larger, with a Gustavo scoring 18 goals and Wu Lei scoring 24 goals, which has opened up the gap. Shanghai Shenhua's two center forwards Malelai and Andre Luis were dumb, Malele scored a goal, but wasted at least 3 scoring opportunities, if you grasp one more opportunity in the first 20 minutes, the result of the game may be different, Malele in Shenhua belongs to people "love and hate".
Andre Luiz was invisible throughout the game and had no play except for an offside goal. Luis lacks speed and impact, and Shenhua's tactical style of play and ability to feed cakes are relatively average. If you want to continue to compete for the title next year, you need to bring in a foreign striker who has a strong ability to seize opportunities. In Shenhua's recent squad, Cao Yunding is nowhere to be seen, and the most experienced Shanghai derby in the team is Cao Yunding, who needs to reactivate the scene in other towns. In the derby against Harbour, technique and tactics are not the most important, but mentality.
Even though Cao Yunding's fitness and physical condition have declined, the momentum of the game is still there, and the derby needs his experience and all-out attitude. Slutsky also encountered a bottleneck, and the whole team would not play without one foreign aid, including two center forwards at the same time, and no other back-up. Dai Weijun, who was on loan, scored in this round, which was a mixed bag for Shenhua, but he didn't expect that after the second transfer window, Shenhua would suffer from a shortage of personnel, and perhaps the player should not be loaned out. Manafa needs to return in late September, and the good news is that two players, Bao Yaxiong and Teixeira, are available for the Nantong Zhiyun game.
