Evergrande's encounter with Shanghai used to be a "Battle of Heaven's Mountain", but now it's one-sided - Shanghai Port is still the first trench in the Chinese Super League, but Guangzhou has been relegated to the bottom three of China's first division and has become a complete "civilian" team. "civilian team". In the past, Evergrande's squad was the top team in China, but now Guangzhou is full of immature soccer students. In the past, Shanghai Port had enough pressure in Evergrande's performance, and this time when the two teams meet in the FA Cup, Shanghai Port won't "take advantage of your illness and kill your life", in order to be angry?
Facts proved that the worries of Evergrande fans were redundant. In the end, Guangzhou was eliminated without a doubt, but the score was not the big loss that Evergrande fans feared, but 1:3.Shanghai started with most of the substitutes, but even with this lineup, there were still a lot of internationals on the line, including two foreigners:Vargas and Pinko.
Look at the Guangzhou team, the average age of the whole team is only 21 years old, so poor that they don't even have foreign aid. Facing Shanghai, it's a small fight against a big one, and suffered the loss of no foreign aid, especially the loss of no world-class foreign aid.
In the first half, although there were two foreign aiders added to the team, the Shanghai players could not do anything against Guangzhou's goal, and both sides failed to score. In the second half, foreign aid Pinko took the lead to help the visitors break the deadlock. After conceding the goal, Guangzhou made three substitutions in one breath and the scene changed. Seeing the rise of Guangzhou, Shanghai had to sacrifice four main players:Oscar+Cai Huikang+Buy Tijiang+Lv Wenjun. Soon after, Oscar created the team's second goal, helping the team to lead 2-0.
Five minutes later, Guangzhou's 19-year-old "young player" Wang Shijie flicked his foot to break up a goal by No. 1 international goalkeeper Yan Junling, surrounded by several Shanghai players. Later, Oscar was at it again, creating another scoring opportunity to help Shanghai increase their lead.
Together with Oscar, Shanghai fielded three foreigners in this match! Instead of losing to Shanghai Port, Guangzhou lost to former Brazilian international Oscar. It was the No. 1 foreign aid in the Chinese Super League, the highest paid player in the history of the Chinese Super League, who controlled the game and managed to change the result. Otherwise, the result of this game is really hard to say. In response, some fans expressed shame in the comment section that Shanghai couldn't win without foreign aid.
Despite the loss, Guangzhou's young players saw hope for the team's relegation. An playing like this, the future of the team is bright.
The game was played in the rain, but despite this, there were still a large number of Evergrande fans cheering for the home team. Interestingly, according to Guangzhou Team Magazine, the Evergrande fans in the stands chanted a very rare slogan, with the fans collectively shouting, "Give me back my programmer (Chen Xuyuan)". This would be the first time a fan has chanted this slogan on a Chinese soccer field.
Who is embarrassed by this slogan? As we all know, Chen Xuyuan is the chairman of the Football Association "trained" by the music department of Shanghai Port Furniture. He is an unprecedented masterpiece since the Chinese professional soccer league. However, the scenery of the office is very beautiful, but very bleak, let a person sigh.
Chen Xuyuan went in and, at least from a current perspective, Shanghai Port was not affected. Oscar's contract with Shanghai reportedly doesn't end until 2024. With this thigh, Shanghai are the favorites to win the title, be it the Chinese Super League or the FA Cup.
Of course, there are fans who want Shanghai to play in the AFC Champions League with the prestige of a Chinese Super League team, not just the nest egg of the domestic circuit.
