Beijing time on the evening of June 8, 19: the 12th round of the new season of the Chinese Super League will be staged a compelling focus of the battle, Shanghai Shenhua will challenge Qingdao Hainiu, the overall strength of the general.
In the last round, Shanghai Shenhua beat Cangzhou Lions 1:0 on the road, temporarily stopping the decline of four rounds of invincibility. In this way, after the first 11 rounds, Shanghai Shenhua 6 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, accumulating 22 points, temporarily ranked third in the Chinese Super League standings, 4 points behind Shanghai Harbor, still in the Chinese Super League to compete for the title.
In this round against the average Qingdao Hainiu, Shanghai Shenhua has a great chance to win from the overall strength comparison. However, for the sake of stability, head coach Wu Jingui will still sacrifice elite starters as much as possible in this round against Qingdao Hainiu. It's worth mentioning that after 11 rounds, Qingdao Hainiu has 2 wins, 2 draws and 7 losses, with only 8 points, temporarily ranking second from the bottom of the Chinese Super League table. Let's briefly predict the starting lineup that Shenhua might field in this match.
In the goalkeeping position, the main goalkeeper Ma Zhen continues to be banned, replacement goalkeeper Bao Yaxiong will naturally continue to replace the former to guard the Shanghai Shenhua goal; in the back line, head coach Wu Jingui will naturally continue to sacrifice his most commonly used 4 defenders formation, Eddie, Jiang Shenglong, Jin Yangyang and Yann Xinli will have 4 players to get a start. Among them, Jin Yangyang replaces Zhu Chenjie, and Jiang Shenglong forms Shenhua's double center back combination; Eddie and American newcomer Yann Xinli will play as the left and right backs.
In the midfield, there is no doubt that the new French foreigner Ibrahim Amadou will still be the main back in charge of intercepting and sweeping in Shanghai Shenhua's midfield; the double back combination with Ibrahim Amadou should be the talented new star Wang Haijian. Around the double back, local young talent Xu Haoyang should be the commander of Shenhua's front field in times of crisis.
Up front, Switzerland's powerful striker Mallet should charge Shanghai Shenhua up front. Partnering with Mallet in the front three should be the talented youngster Liu Ruofan and Evergrande's accomplished veteran Han Chao. Among them, the performance of the talented youngster Liu Ruofan is worth looking forward to.
To summarize, the final projected starting lineup for Shanghai Shenhua against Qingdao Hainiu is Bao Yaxiong; Eddie, Jiang Shenglong, Jin Yangyang and Yan Xinli; Wang Haijian, Ibrahim Amadou and Xu Haoyang; Yu Hanchao, Malelai and Liu Ruofan
