On July 29th, Beijing time, the 19th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) was staged: Shanghai Shenhua faced Shanghai Harbor. Both teams are at the top of the league, and this game became a summit match. However, after 90 minutes of play, Shenhua suffered a heartbreaking loss at home, losing 0-5. Zhu Chenjie's performance was poor and he was unable to withstand the onslaught of the opponents.
In the first half, the two teams fought fiercely for the possession of the ball, but Shenhua did not adapt to this norm, especially after Jiang Shenglong's injury, Wu Jingui replaced Eddie as a center back, but it gave Seaport a chance to take advantage of it. Wu Lei faced Eddie and with his excellent individual ability, he broke through Shenhua's defense many times and created chaos.
Just before halftime, Seaport suddenly came to life, with Vargas assisting Oscar to get a penalty and score to take a 2-0 lead at the end of the half. A reckless foul by Zhu Chenjie was a valuable penalty kick opportunity for the opponents.
In the second half, Seaport scored four goals in a short period of time to extend the score to 4-0. The third goal was conceded when Yan Xinli's handling error was broken; the fourth goal was a slow release by a defender and was easily broken by Oscar after he got the ball. Zhu Chenjie's defensive problems were once again apparent, and the gap between him and the high-level foreigners like Vargas and Oscar was obvious.
Zhu Chenjie took over the captain's armband after Wu Xi went off. The 23-year-old international center back has performed well in the league, but his defensive rhythm and ball handling ability still needs to be improved compared to the foreigners in the harbor. Despite his outstanding physical qualities, Zhu Chenjie's grasp of the game's rhythm was clearly lacking during the match.
According to Sofascore, Zhu Chenjie scored 5.9 points for the game, only slightly higher than Ma Zhen, who conceded five goals, and was the second-lowest rated player in the game. Oscar, on the other hand, earned a high score of 9.9 points for his outstanding performance.
