Shenhua prepares for woes and expectations
In the past, many teams had assembled at the Kangqiao base to prepare for the game, however, after the outbreak of the epidemic in Shanghai, they have chosen to withdraw. Among them, Henan Songshan Longmen and Wuhan three towns and other teams originally planned to come to Shanghai training, Shenhua also communicated with them in advance to discuss the cancelation of the training program.
At present, Shenhua's life and training is still smooth, April 5, the team in the arrangement of the relevant departments to complete the nucleic acid test of all staff. Thanks to the exclusive supplier, the team's food supply is not a big problem for the time being.
However, the biggest challenge is the lack of warm-up opponents. The team has entered the fifth week of closed training, the technical and tactical grinding is crucial. Shenhua has had frequent personnel changes this season, and urgently needs warm-up matches to sharpen its tactics and complete personnel adjustments. The team originally planned to play warm-up matches with Wuhan Sanzhen, Meizhou Hakka, Jinmen Tigers and Henan Songshan Longmen, but they have all been canceled.
The team has no choice but to substitute warm-up matches in the form of intra-squad matches. In the most recent intra-squad division match, the two sides drew 1-1, with Sun Shilin and Qin Sheng scoring a goal each.
Looking forward to the early confirmation of the race
The first phase of the current Chinese Super League will continue to use the conference system, but the zones have not yet been finalized. Wuhan, Hangzhou and Meizhou are expected to host the first phase of the Chinese Super League. Shenhua and Harbour are hoping that the CFL will finalize the zones as soon as possible, and once conditions allow, the teams will leave Shanghai at the first opportunity to enter the zones and begin the closed isolation.
"If we can enter the tournament zone in advance, on the one hand, we can receive epidemic isolation, on the other hand, the daily training can be guaranteed, of course, this is the best situation", a seaport team insider told reporters, "Now we can only look forward to the CFA to announce the tournament zone as soon as possible. In the absence of a confirmed tournament zone, it is difficult for the club to formulate its next plan."
At present, there are strict epidemic prevention regulations for personnel from medium and high-risk areas around the world, about whether they can successfully detach from Shanghai and enter the competition area to prepare for the new season, both teams have expressed concern. "Whether you can leave Shanghai with a nucleic acid test certificate, this is also a problem, need to be coordinated by the relevant departments," a Shenhua source told reporters: "The team had also considered going to the field in advance of the training, but contacted down to no hotel is willing to receive the team in Shanghai, and finally can only be dismissed. "
"The best case scenario, of course, is that the teams leave Shanghai as early as possible with the nucleic acid test certificates after the tournament is finalized and enter the tournament to prepare for the game. Of course, we can't rule out extreme cases, such as when the league starts, the two Shanghai teams can't leave yet. Then maybe the schedule related to the two Shanghai teams will have to be postponed as well."
