In an online interaction on May 20, Shanghai soccer coach Zhu Jiong and media personality Ji Yuyang engaged in a Weibo-linked conversation, with the topic naturally focusing on crosstown teams Shenhua and Seaport.
Zhu Jiong was blunt about the comparison between the two teams: "The stability of the Harbor's team is much better than Shenhua's. Although Shenhua has deep roots, in recent years the Harbor has had the upper hand in terms of stability. Although Shenhua has a deep heritage, but in recent years the harbor in the stability of the upper hand. Recall 94, 95, 96 years of Shenhua, the core of the team are local players, the tacit understanding is now difficult to copy. Now Shenhua players from the south and north, each other's understanding and the degree of integration, compared with the past is far."
