When I first stepped into the Shanghai Shenhua lineup, I was struck by the delicacy of the situation. I was often caught in a passive position, letting the opponents come in like a tidal wave. However, I was also a threat on many occasions, and if it wasn't for Bao Yaxiong, the goal would have been lost. At the end of the first half, if not for the mercy of the referee, the team might have lost three points. In the second half, will the miracle be reversed?
In the second leg of the match, Shenhua made some changes to their team, but the result was very little. On the other hand, the opponent, the new recruits showed their power as soon as they appeared on the field, and Assani broke the deadlock with a precise shot, transferring the pressure to Shenhua until the end of the game. Shanghai Shenhua failed to rewrite the ending after all. What's wrong with this team?
Huang Qiang mentioned in his sports commentary that Shenhua's offense is lackluster and he's tired of endless defense. Could such Shenhua really win? Why is there such a huge contrast in just a few days? The fact is that the absence of Mallet and Fernando, the core of the team, has caused the overall strength to plummet. They are the key tools of the offense, and without them, the team is really out of their depth. Is Shenhua regretting letting them go at this point? If we want to make a breakthrough next year, Shenhua must quickly adjust the lineup and introduce several stronger foreign aiders, otherwise the road to relegation will be difficult.
