On March 4, Shanghai Shenhua beat Meizhou Hakka 2-0 on the road in the first round of the Chinese Super League, with new foreign aid Luis scoring twice. According to the analysis of Xinmin Evening News, Luiz's professional attitude made the integration smoother.
After the opening whistle last night, Shenhua countered the hosts and pressed the hosts Meizhou to attack continuously. In the first half, Shenhua broke through the opponent's gate twice, but one was ruled out due to offside and one due to foul first. In the second half, Luis quickly broke the deadlock of Shenhua. After receiving a breakthrough pass from right back Manafa, he jumped high on the back post and threw the ball into the goal. It was a clean header and Louis showed excellent physical fitness and header ability.
If the header was a testament to the goal-breaking ability, the second goal of Luis' attack showed off his goal-breaking sense as a scorer. At that time, Malelei took a low shot in front of the penalty area. Meizhou goalkeeper Cheng Yuelei fell to the ground and failed to pounce on the ball. He was about to stretch out his hand to grab the ball. Luiz was already in front of him, pushed with his left foot and sent the ball into the goal in front of his opponent.
According to an analysis by Xinmin Evening News, Luiz's professional attitude made the integration smoother. after confirming his joining of Shenhua at the end of January, Luiz quickly departed from Portugal to meet with the Shenhua team, which was training in Hainan in the winter. The day after he came to the team, Luiz participated in the training without delay. Seeing Luiz, the impression of Shenhua players is that "at a glance, there is enough power, can stand on the feet, can fight against the defender of the center forward."
It's worth noting that Luiz has become the first Shenhua player in 10 years to break through twice on his Chinese Super League debut. 2014 Argentine shot-stopper Viatri was the last to do so. But that's far from all the Brazilian winger is aiming for, as he'll be looking to score more goals for Shenhua.
