On July 29th, Beijing time zone, the 19th round of Chinese Super League (CSL) kicked off with Shanghai Shenhua facing Shanghai Seaport, both teams are at the top of the league table. In the 90 minutes of the battle, Shenhua suffered a painful loss, 0-5, with Zhu Chenjie's performance being particularly bad, being suppressed by the opponents and unable to fight back.
In the first half, the two teams fought fiercely, Shenhua's possession of the ball was once equal to the seaport, which is quite rare in the history of Shenhua. In view of Jiang Shenglong's injury, Wu Jingui adjusted the defense line and activated Aidi as the center back, which unexpectedly became a breakthrough for the harbor. Facing Eddie, Wu Lei broke through several times with his excellent individual ability, making Shenhua's defense in a mess.
Towards the end of the first half, Seaport suddenly made a breakthrough when Vargas created a penalty kick for Oscar. Seaport went into the halftime break with a 2-0 lead, despite a quick counterattack goal by Vu Lei off a break in front of the goal.
Zhu Chenjie, one of China's top center backs, gave away a penalty for a reckless foul that led to Shenhua's first goal conceded.
At the end of the match, Harbour scored four goals in a short period of time to extend their lead to 4-0. The third goal stemmed from a mistake by Yan Xinli, while the fourth goal was a poor clearance by a defender, which was seized by Oscar to complete the fatal strike.
This loss of goal is also related to Zhu Chenjie's defense. Originally, he occupied the positional advantage, but due to a slow start, he failed to effectively block Oscar's attacking route. With a keen sense of smell, Oscar made a steal in the back row and finished the goal.
Zhu Chenjie captained the team after Wu Xi left the field. The 23-year-old international center back has been in eye-catching form in the Chinese Super League, but Zhu Chenjie's gaps are still evident when facing high-level foreigners such as Vargas and Oscar. Despite his outstanding physical qualities, there are obvious problems in handling the rhythm of defense, which is related to his lack of ability to read the game.
According to Sofascore, Zhu Chenjie had a full game rating of 5.9, slightly higher than Ma Zhen who conceded five goals. It was the second lowest rating of the game, behind the substitutes. Oscar, on the other hand, received a superb rating of 9.9.
