Shandong Taishan have no reference to Shenhua's three-goal win as they have problems within the team. To truly become the Chinese Super League champions, one needs the experience of playing against the likes of Guoan. When strong teams face each other, it's not only a battle of tactics and player strength, but also a clash of the game's momentum. Guoan won't be overly cautious on the road, and whichever team can secure a high-intensity press in the first 20 minutes will have the advantage. Shenhua's four strikers, Teixeira, Mallet, Xie Pengfei and Teixeira, are getting better and better together.
Guoan was injured, Abreu was injured, Zhang Yuning played single arrow, Jiang Shenglong single defense against Zhang Yuning. Although Zhang Yuning has scored two goals this season, his overall performance is relatively average and he cannot play the role of a center forward. It is quite difficult to truly replace foreigners completely among local strikers, and even for national team strikers, there is still a gap between their level and that of foreigners. In the previous game, Suarez tried out seven strikers, which appeared to be a bit of a last resort. Guoan's expectations for this game will not be too high, and fighting for a point will be considered a success.
Guoan's double foreign center back and Shenhua's double center duel, this is a tit-for-tat duel, is Guoan's Ngaardew, Mamadou's defense of the brick wall, or Shenhua's Malalei + Luis ignored the defense level of the attack. Beijing-Shanghai duel, last season, Guoan against Shenhua, achieved 1 win and 1 draw, remain undefeated. Zhang Xizhe has clashed with fans before, and this match will also be in the spotlight. Shandong Taishan, Qingdao West Coast and Shenzhen Xinpengcheng all have a chance to win this round. Guoan is facing a back-and-forth attack, and a loss will drop them to 8th place, while Shenhua has some room for error.
