On November 1, Shanghai Shenhua will face Chengdu Rongcheng in the final game of the Chinese Super League. Reporter Yang Yi revealed that many Shenhua fans are eager to see the team's results outside the Phoenix Hill Professional Football Stadium even if they have not purchased tickets.
Although Shenhua is no longer in the driver's seat of the league title race, tomorrow's match is still a crucial one for them. A win against the unbeaten Chengdu Rongcheng team in the final round of the season will not only erase their regrets, but also give the team a positive mindset for the future.
Many Shenhua fans have flocked to Chengdu. Recently, Shenhua fans dressed in blue are often seen on flights from Shanghai to Chengdu. They have decided to accompany the team on their final journey of the season and are eagerly waiting for "miracles and good luck". However, given the high attendance at the Chengdu Hibiscus home stadium and the enthusiasm of the home team's fans, the number of tickets available for Shenhua fans was extremely limited. Many Shenhua fans who traveled to or arrived in Chengdu were unable to purchase enough tickets, and many expressed their desire for "ticket liberation".
The match will not only attract the attention of many fans, but will also attract the attention of the coaching staff of the Chinese men's national team. It is reported that the national team head coach, Ivankovic, may come to Chengdu to observe the key match between Shenhua and Rongcheng, which is a crucial match for the championship. After the match, the coaching staff will finalize the training roster based on the final round of international players' performances and physical condition, which is scheduled to be announced early next week. Shanghai Shenhua's Jiang Shenglong, Xu Haoyang, Fernando, Yang Zexiang, Wang Haijian and Zhu Chenjie, who sat out the last 18 of the national soccer preliminaries due to injuries, will be the focus of Ivankovic's attention.
