In the Shenhua lineup, Jin Shunkai is certainly outstanding, but the performances of midfielders Xu Haoyang and Yang Zexiang are equally remarkable. Xu Hao Yang successfully replaced international star Wu Xi as a midfielder, while Yang Ze Xiang filled in for national team player Xiao Wen with his versatility. The manager has an eye for the unique value of each player. Xu Haoyang's strengths in attack and speed are obvious, while Yang Zexiang is a wise man on the winter training ground as he can play at both left and right back. Currently, Shenhua's player lineup is basically locked in, including Han Chao, Xu Hao Yang, Yang Ze Xiang, Zhu Chen Jie, Jin Shunkai, and goalkeeper Bao Yaxiong.
In the new season, who will carry the banner of offense in Shenhua team? It's none other than Malelai. Although he misses good opportunities every game, but in the offensive end, he is undoubtedly Shenhua's most reliable striker. In the Qingdao Hainiu game, he once again scored twice, prompting fans to joke: "The fewer the fans, the more courageous Mallet, perhaps he is uncomfortable with the crowded field." However, Shenhua's home stadium is a venue with an extremely high density of fans in the Chinese Super League. In the Super Cup, more fans will gather at the venue to support the team. Malalei needs to adapt to the big event as soon as possible and show the power of his shooting boots in the Shanghai Harbor game.
High expectations often come with high risks. Andre Luiz, as an outside center, has been a bit of an underachiever, with a lack of presence in the game and few performances in the warm-ups. Lacking speed and individual ability, his role on the field seems to be less than that of Malelai. This season, Shenhua in the introduction of foreign aid compared to Guoan, Shandong Taishan and other title contenders slightly conservative. Shenhua must be prepared to prevent Luis from becoming a water product, and there is still a chance to make adjustments to the lineup in the summer transfer window. It would be wise to keep Malelai, at least he can contribute more than ten goals in a season, to avoid the embarrassing situation of two center forwards are dumb.
