The match between Beijing and Shanghai has always been the focus of fans' excitement, and has been hailed as one of the highlights of the Chinese Super League's year. The first round of this year's league ushered in the Beijing-Shanghai summit showdown, which made the two teams attach much more importance to this battle than ever before. As the curtains opened, Cui Kangxi skillfully kept the suspense and Bilic skillfully used psychedelic strategies to add some unique colors to the game.
Compared to last year, the most significant change of Shenhua team is undoubtedly the improvement of the midfield strength. The team introduced national team midfield core Wu Xi and foreign aid Adrian, which not only greatly enhanced the team's midfield strength, but also brought more possibilities for midfield staffing and tactical use. At present, Shenhua's midfield can be said to be full of talent, in addition to the newly joined Wu Xi and Adrian, there are Moreno, Peng Xinli, Qian Jie to, Sun Shilin, Qin Sheng, Zhu Baojie and other power players. In the four warm-up games before the league, Shenhua midfield lineup changes frequently, almost every game is different.

Head Coach Bilic responded, "Preparing for the game in a closed environment, we rely more on historical data for information, so quick reactions on the field are especially important.
