The 16th round of the Chinese Super League is over. There were a lot of results in this round and we didn't expect Shandong Taishan vs Shanghai Shenhua to be the most talked about match. We thought it would be a tough match, but we didn't expect the score to become a 3-0 lead just over 30 minutes into the match. Shandong Taishan played an easy game and killed the game early, making the back completely garbage time. Shenhua lost so completely that everyone said Shenhua's sides were blown up, but in reality Shenhua's midfield was crushed by Taishan. The defense couldn't stop it while not being able to control the ball, which ultimately led to a tragedy.
Does Shenhua not have a good midfield? The answer is definitely no. Previously, Shenhua's back combination was the combination of Wu Xi and Peng Xinli, which was very stable. This season, after Shenhua brought in foreign aid Amadou, the back combination became Wu Xi and Amadou. Peng Xinli became the substitute. However, when Wu Xi was injured, Peng Xinli did not return to the main force. Wu Jingui chose the young Wang Haijian. Wang Haijian played really well and did not meet any strong opponents. So Peng Xinli had fewer chances as an international player. But Peng Xinli is an international player after all, only 31 years old, so no one will think he will leave.
As a result, Shenhua brought in Dai Weijun, a future midfielder for the national soccer team, during the transfer period, so he will have to reduce his quota by one. At that time everyone would definitely choose a young player who couldn't play. But what I didn't expect was that Shenhua canceled Peng Xinli's registration. In other words, if Peng Xinli doesn't leave, he will have no ball to play. Of course, fans can understand this operation because Shenhua has decided to rejuvenate and Peng Xinli's departure is a step towards rejuvenation.
And naturally, an international player as powerful as Peng Xinli will not lack a home. So Ma Qingdao Sea Bulls quickly rented Peng Xinli. What was even more unexpected was that when Peng Xinli arrived in Qingdao, the Sea Bulls exploded. In the 16th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Qingdao Hainiu played against Shenzhen at home. Peng Xinli started in this game.
It was the fifth minute of the game. Qingdao's cross from the left was given to the box. Forbes' header was parried by Wei Zhe and Peng Xinli followed up with a follow-up shot! Qingdao Manatees 1-0 Shenzhen! That goal also opened Shenzhen's scoring account, and then Shenzhen scored four more goals and finally beat Shenzhen 5-0.
What's unexpected about this goal is that Peng Xinli, as a back-rower, has such a keen sense of smell in the penalty area, it's almost like the fox of the penalty area. Needless to say, this can be considered a dead tree. Then again, we can understand Shenhua's desire to rejuvenate, but isn't replacing Peng Xinli a bit too hasty? If he was here, he probably wouldn't have been so passive against Taishan!
