Wei Shihao's move to join Chengdu Hibiscus is undoubtedly a well thought out decision. Although injuries and suspensions had been a stumbling block in his career, he now stands at the second pinnacle of his career.In 2019, during his season with Guangzhou, he displayed exceptional athleticism, scoring 15 goals and recording seven assists. And this year, he has scored nine times, just one goal short of last season's record of 19. If he scores one more, he will set a new record for the most goals in his career. However, since his comeback, he has had six scoreless games in all competitions, and urgently needs to break the deadlock in the game to get his 10th goal, and at the same time get back to form for the National Football League game to ensure that his position as a starter does not falter.
On October 27th, at 3:30pm, Chengdu Rongcheng will face Qingdao West Coast. Currently, the team coached by Shao Jiayi has not yet completed the relegation task and is only 2 points ahead of the relegation zone. The risk of relegation increases dramatically if West Coast loses consecutively. In this match, West Coast's goal is to get at least one point to stabilize the current situation. In the last match, West Coast lost 0-4 to Changchun Yatai, and Shao's inexperience in the early stage of relegation was gradually exposed. On the contrary, Xie Hui, with two seasons of relegation experience, gave a strong proof in the last game.
In terms of strength, Chengdu Rongcheng is clearly the better team. Felipe, who came off the bench in the last match, will return to the starting lineup to form a powerful attacking line with Wei Shihao, Palacios and Romulo. Chengdu Rongcheng has as many as a dozen players whose contracts are about to expire, with extensions yet to be finalized. The next two games will be an important test of these players' abilities. Hu Huotao had a poor debut with the national team and his future performance will be crucial in making the next national team roster. Coach Xu Zhengyuan deserves to give him a chance, and young players should not be dismissed wholesale just because of one mistake.
