On July 10th, an explosive news came from the Chinese soccer world, according to Shanghai media, Shangguan News disclosed that head coach Xavier's lack of clinical command ability became the driving force behind Shanghai seaport's loss at home and reversal on the road. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Javier himself.
After the 15th round of the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Harbor has 34 points, leading the table with a 3-point advantage over city rival Shanghai Shenhua. It seems that the scenery is boundless, but the problems exposed by the team in the first 15 rounds are also worrying. Especially when dominating the field, Javier's tactical arrangement and real-time adjustment became a target.
Shanghai Seaport is a real 'home bug, away dragon', with only 14 points at home," commented Shangguan News. Even though the opponents had players sent off in the three games in which they dropped points, Seaport's performance was even worse. Harvill's lack of clinical reaction has left the team in disarray. The media pointed out that Javier's lack of tactical changes and rigid command could be the biggest obstacle on the team's road to the title.
Reports in Shanghai News suggest that Javier's shortcomings will affect Shanghai Harbour's title campaign. Although specific details have yet to be revealed, Javier's shortcomings have been revealed, prompting questions from the media. This has shocked the team's core players, Wu Lei and Oscar, and made Shanghai Shenhua a potential winner. Fans have expressed their displeasure at this.
A fan said bluntly: "Chongming this batch of 85 people, 90 players after the era is coming to an end, the problem of ladder construction needs to be solved. In contrast, Shenhua has completed the turnover of the old and the new. Under the FA's salary restriction policy, Shanghai can't introduce Oscar and other big-name foreign aid. Next, the team needs to keep a low profile. Some fans said: 'Javier is a relegated coach, I really don't understand why he was hired. The next round of home games against city rivals, if we lose again, the only way to win the championship is to change the manager.'
On the other hand, some fans also commented: "This year is the best time to win the championship, Wu Lei, Lu Wenjun, Zhang Linpeng and other core players have entered the twilight of their careers, and Oscar will leave the team next year. If Javier can't lead the team to win the championship this year, the people who hired him in the first place must take the responsibility! If Javier can't properly handle his relationship with Vargas, it might be more productive to let him go as early as possible and replace him with Sun Xiang!"
