After the FA Cup, the 13th round of the Chinese Super League resumes with Shenhua hosting Nantong Zhiyun on June 28, 19:35 GMT. Shenhua won all three of their matches in June and finalized the signing of Dai Weijun. However, Dai Weijun will not be able to play in this match as it has not been officially announced yet and the transfer window is not open. He will train with Shenhua recently to regain his form and try to play in July.
Shanghai Shenhua's starting eleven has been reorganized, with Ma Zhen still sidelined, and it will be Bao Yaxiong who will continue to play in the goalkeeping position. In the past three games, Shenhua has only conceded one goal, and Bao Yaxiong's performance deserves to be praised. Defensive line Jiang Shenglong will be off for one game, injured during the Asian Games, FA Cup match, Jiang Shenglong did not make the list, Jin Yangyang will partner with Zhu Chenjie, Nantong Zhiyun attack is mainly counterattack, Romario Balde is very fast, Shenhua center back will be relatively backward.
In this game, Shenhua 5 foreigners gathered together, all can play, can change Shenhua's offense is actually Basogo, injured at the beginning of the season, the physical condition is still recovering, two weeks of the off-season, Basogo's body recovered a lot. His speed and counterattacking ability can enrich Shenhua's performance, Super League more than one-third, the tactics are still 1-0 strategy, in the FA Cup match, facing the B team is very painful, the attack does not have too many rules, mainly relying on counterattacking and attacking halo.
Right back Yan Xinli's form is getting better and better, left back Cui back is injured for more than a month, Wu Jingui is more convinced to let Eddie play left back. Midfield Amadou, Wang Haijian and Teixeira partner, attack and defense is relatively balanced, this season Shenhua focus on the league, want to achieve good results, the attack should be sharper. Yu Hanchao, Mallet and Xu Hoyang partner the trident, Yu Hanchao will enter the fifth goal of the season, this season in Hanchao played very well, many times to save the team.
Cao Yunding and Yu Hanchao are the core of Shenhua's offense this year. In the game, Cao Yunding's performance was not as good as Hanchao. Nantong Zhiyun is a weak team, more defensive counterattack, siege, ball control is not Shenhua's main way of playing. Playing a strong team, but let Shenhua more comfortable, on the contrary, killed the team, Shanghai Shenhua often face a long period of offense. If they beat Nantong Zhiyun, Shenhua will win all their matches in June and continue to stay in second place and enter the Chinese Super League championship.
The next few games will decide the situation of the Chinese Super League and Shenhua. They will take part in Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, Zhejiang and Shandong Taishan. Each game is a litmus test. In July this year, Dai Weijun can play and change the attack of Shanghai Shenhua's front field. The team has no plan to introduce new foreign aid for the time being. Shenhua is in second place with 25 points, Chengdu Chengdu third 24 points, only one game difference. With the passive situation in the FA Cup, Wu Jingui needs to change the tactics, more offensive means, players such as Malelai, Yu Hanchao, Teixeira and other players are the main scoring point.
