Today's focus is on Shanghai Shenhua. Despite the recall of Shenhua players Wang Haijian, Xu Hoyang and Zhang Wei from the Asian Games Selection Team, Shenhua's shortage of personnel remains a serious problem. Starting goalkeeper Ma Zhen, midfielders Wu Xi and Dai Weijun, and defenders Jiang Shenglong and Zhu Chenjie have all been called up to the national team to prepare for the Vietnam-Uzbekistan match. Meanwhile, the Chinese Olympic team also called up five players from Shenhua's squad, leaving Shenhua without 10 players on international days. According to the FA's compensation policy, Shenhua's five foreign players can be deployed at any time to make up for the lack of squad depth. In the face of the serious staff shortage, head coach Wu Jingui may send these 5 foreigners to the battlefield at the same time, in order to make up for the impact of the lack of squad depth on the team.
Another piece of news involves Dalian Ren head coach Xie Hui. With only three rounds left in this season's Chinese Super League, Dalian Ren and Nantong Zhiyun share the same 19 points, with Dalian Ren escaping the relegation zone on goal difference. However, in the next three rounds of matches, Dalian people will encounter Qingdao Hainiu, Wuhan three towns and Shanghai seaport, the strength of the comparison is obviously unfavorable. There are speculations in the media that Xie Hui may resign if Dalian People are unlucky enough to be relegated. Dalian People may seek a new coach to lead the team to fight in the Central League. Many fans have suggested that if Xie Hui resigns, he may ask Dalian soccer star Sun Jihai to take over. Sun Jihai, who played for Dalian Wanda and Manchester City in the English Premier League, is a favorite among Dalian fans and fans nationwide. After his retirement, Sun Jihai has devoted himself to youth training and is currently digging up potential stars in Xinjiang, contributing to China's youth soccer. If the Dalian people invite Sun Jihai, he may seriously consider this opportunity. If Sun Jihai takes over the team, he is expected to bring the young players cultivated in Xinjiang to Dalian, helping more young players to emerge in the professional league.
Beijing Guoan is about to play Shanghai Port in a top-level showdown after the national team match day. Shanghai Port will win the Chinese Super League title two rounds ahead of schedule if they can beat Guoan. Naturally, Guoan will not want to be the backdrop for Shanghai Port's title win, so they will give their best to this match. According to Beijing Youth Daily, Zhang Yuning, the striker of Guoan who was injured in the Netherlands, has returned to the training base and is expected to make his comeback in the match against Shanghai Port. Last season, Zhang Yuning was the core of Guoan's offense, winning the Chinese Super League's domestic Golden Boot and Most Valuable Player titles.
The last news about the national football team's naturalized striker Eickson. Eickson did not appear in the 2-0 win of the national soccer team over Vietnam, and coach Jankovic chose veteran Tan Long. Xie Weijun came on as a substitute in the second half. Despite not appearing in Vietnam, Eckerson is likely to start alongside Wei in the warm-up match against Uzbekistan, according to Beijing Youth Daily. After a poor performance as a starting center forward in two warm-up matches in September, Aixon could lose his starting position if he fails to prove himself against Uzbekistan.
