Ever since I stepped onto the pitch at Shanghai Shenhua, I felt an ominous vibe. I was often passive, allowing my opponents to attack me. Even when I was making threats, Shenhua's door seemed to be closed to me. If it wasn't for Bao Yaxiong's heroic performance, I'm afraid the door would have been lost. Referring to the extra time in the first half, if the referee didn't help, I am afraid Shenhua would have swallowed the bitter fruit of losing the ball. In the second half, can the miracle be reversed?
In the second leg, Shenhua adjusted many players, but failed to see any results. On the other hand, the new players were quick to attack, and a goal broke the deadlock, shifting the pressure to Shenhua. The score remained unchanged until the end of the match. Shanghai Shenhua, what's wrong with you?
Huang Qiang mentioned in his sports commentary that the game left the impression that Shenhua's offense was unimpressive, and that he had long since grown tired of the constant defense. How could they not lose with such a performance? How could a team that was so impressive just a few days ago suddenly fall off the map? In fact, the team's overall strength has plummeted with the loss of Mallet and Fernando, two of the team's key players. Without them, it's hard to make a difference in the team's offense. Does Shanghai Shenhua regret letting them go at this critical moment? If you want to make a breakthrough next year, Shenhua must do a good job of adjusting its personnel and quickly introduce a few stronger foreign aiders, otherwise relegation will become a problem.
