On the night of 19th, the 12th round of Chinese Super League matches gathered focus: Shanghai Shenhua versus Qingdao Hainiu, the strength of the contrast is slightly different.
In the previous round of matches, Shanghai Shenhua defeated Cangzhou Lions by 1:0 on the road, stopping the decline of four consecutive rounds. At present, after 11 rounds of matches, Shanghai Shenhua accumulated 22 points with 6 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss, temporarily occupying the third place in the Chinese Super League table, and there is still a gap of 4 points from the top of the table of Shanghai seaport, which still retains the hope of competing for the title.
Facing the relatively weak Qingdao Hainiu, Shanghai Shenhua has a clear advantage. However, in order to stabilize the lineup, coach Wu Jingui may make appropriate adjustments in the game and let the main players take a rest. Currently, Qingdao Hainiu has only won 2, drew 2, and lost 7 in 11 rounds, accumulating 8 points, and is at the bottom of the table. Let's speculate on Shenhua's possible starting lineup.
In goal, substitute Bao Yaxiong will guard the goal due to the suspension of starter Ma Zhen. In the back line, Wu Jingui may continue to use the 4 defenders tactics, Aidi, Jiang Shenglong, Jin Yangyang and Yan Xinli will start. Jin Yangyang will replace Zhu Chenjie and Jiang Shenglong to form a pair of center backs, while Ai Di and Yan Xinli will play as wing backs.
In the midfield, French foreigner Ibrahim Amadou will play the role of intercepting at the back, and he will be assisted by his partner Wang Haijian's double back combination. Xu Haoyang will be the attacking commander at critical moments. In the front line, Malelai will form a trident with Liu Ruofan and Han Chao, of which Liu Ruofan's play is highly anticipated.
Based on the above analysis, Shanghai Shenhua's starting lineup against Qingdao Hainiu is expected to be: Bao Yaxiong; Eddie, Jiang Shenglong, Jin Yangyang and Yan Xinli; Wang Haijian, Ibrahim Amadou and Xu Haoyang; Yu Hanchao, Malelai and Liu Ruofan.
