If Zhu Chenjie fails to help Shenhua turn the game around in the upcoming Chinese Super League (CSL), the team's long-standing defensive shortcomings may still be difficult to eradicate. At the same time, this round of the AFC Champions League, Teixeira and Fernando unfortunate injuries, its follow-up on the performance of Shenhua in the Premier League can have an impact, is still unknown. Teixeira is not only the wind vane of Shenhua's offense, but also the key to the team's victory. Usually, his performance is directly related to the team's victory or defeat. If Shenhua loses Teixeira's firepower support, the offense will be in trouble, and Slutsky's worries will undoubtedly increase.
Fernando's injury has added to the problem. This not only worries Shenhua fans, but also frustrates national team head coach Ivankovic, who is concerned about his health. Ivankovic has praised Fernando's talent and sees him as the backbone of the national team. As a result, Fernando would have been a mainstay of the national team had he not been injured. Now, Fernando's injury will undoubtedly have an impact on his national team career. Ivankovic needs to be prepared for Fernando's absence from training and look for a replacement. Perhaps Barton from Zimmermann Tigers will be the best candidate for Fernando's absence.
