In terms of strength, Seaport is clearly a force to be reckoned with in the Chinese Super League, and compared to Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Seaport's fighting strength is even better. In both the first round and the AFC Cup, Harbour won 3:0, not only in terms of record, but also in terms of psychology. The key is that the final match will decide who will be the champion, and Harbour's will to fight will be even more rock-solid!
Tianjin Jinmen Tigers used to be a regular in the Chinese Super League. In the past few years, they fought for relegation and were good at using "humane tactics" to stabilize their position in the Chinese Super League. Now, they have adapted to the status quo of "no hope for the championship, no worries about relegation", the team's mentality is calm, but less of a fighting spirit, and even worry about possible injuries at the end of the season. They always play the role of "peacemaker" at the end of the season, accumulating "contacts" for next season's relegation. Under these circumstances, Harbor's victory in the championship seems to be a foregone conclusion!
If Shenhua can beat Chengdu Rongcheng, a new chapter will be written, but it will not be easy! Chengdu Rongcheng has already secured third place in the league and qualified for the second tier of the AFC Champions League, and the team's morale is high and their mindset is relaxed. Xu Zhengyuan's goal is to beat Shenhua and set an immortal monument for himself, as well as increase his stability as a coach. For Shenhua, this is undoubtedly an insurmountable "Phoenix Hill"!
To face Shenhua, Xu Zhengyuan made personnel adjustments in the Qingdao West Coast game to prepare for everything. Since their promotion to the Chinese Super League in 2022, Chengdu Rongcheng has met with Shenhua five times, with three wins and two draws, undefeated, and with a clear psychological advantage. Xu Zhengyuan obviously will not easily give up this "good performance"!
Chengdu Rongcheng's Devil's Home Field is not a false name, and they have a clear advantage in every aspect. Shenhua will be lucky to get out of this game with a win. Of course, if they can beat Chengdu Rongcheng, even if they can't win the championship, they can still break the curse of "no win in Chengdu" and create a new history for the team, which is really something to be congratulated!
