1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 15th In the 14th round of the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Shenhua lost 1-3 to Shenzhen Xinpeng City away. Xinmin Evening News wrote an article that Shenhua’s main problem lies in defense.
In a away match against Xinpeng City, Shenhua failed to send out all the main lineups. On the back line, Jiang Shenglong was absent, and Jin Shunkai partnered with Zhu Chenjie, who returned from the national team, to the central defender. The front midfielder Teixeira was also unable to play, and the young player Yang Haoyu was replaced. Amadu, who recovered knee ligaments, made it to the substitute list.
Teixeira felt uncomfortable in previous training. Judging from last night’s game, the Portuguese absence had an impact on Shenhua’s offense. Teixeira is good at dribbling and breaking through. He formed a frontcourt triangle with Luis and Minero, putting a lot of pressure on the opponent and forcing the opponent to make mistakes. Shenhua thus grabs the ball in the frontcourt and uses the advantage of rhythm to break through the opponent’s defense. Now he is missing his tandem. Although Louis caught the opponent’s cross and made a mistake and scored a goal, Shenhua’s sharp steal counterattack in the opponent’s half-time throughout the game.
The goal was opened three times. Last night was the game with Shenhua conceded the most goals so far in the season. The more important issue is in defense. After the second goal was conceded, Slutsky was very dissatisfied on the sidelines and vented to the assistant coach almost as if he was roaring. Shenhua’s defense line was easily penetrated by Shenzhen Xinpeng City. When Zhang Yujie stopped the ball in the penalty area and calmly shot, he was in a state of no defense.
Last night’s league was the first round of the Chinese Super League after the break. Logically speaking, after nearly a month of rest, the players should be full of energy when they returned to the court, but last night, the Shenhua players did not seem to have maintained this excitement for much time. Instead, their physical fitness in the second half of the game dropped significantly and could not keep up with the rhythm of the Shenzhen team. In this game, Shenhua did not use the full quota for substitutions. After the third substitution, Yu Hanchao, Xie Pengfei and others were still sitting on the bench.
