On the green field, the victory or defeat of a soccer match is as unpredictable as the waves of the sea, and the loss of a battle is not the same as the total collapse of a team. Shandong Taishan team in this competition exposed many problems, and Shanghai Shenhua team is keen to capture the Shandong Taishan team's three major problems. The first hint is that the team's back line of veterans, key players can not be draped in the lineup, Tong Lei's offside error into the opponent's first goal, Liu Yang's defense blunder, so that the foreign aid like a fish out of water, easy to break through. Liu Yang perennial high-intensity games, physical overdraft, making mistakes seems to have become the norm.
The second worry lies in the lack of a central midfield core. The team failed to bring in a strong foreign aid to fill the back position this season, making the midfield weak and unable to face the back protection of the Shenhua team. Shenhua foreign aid on the field like nobody's business, with the ball breakthrough seems to be easy, no barrier in front of the defense line, seems quite embarrassing. The third problem is the isolation of Cressan on the front line. Cazza's lackluster performance left Cressan with no choice but to run around, sometimes returning to defense, sometimes helplessly holding the ball. Whether Cressan is a man or a god makes one question.
This game truly maps out the current situation of both teams. Shandong Taishan has a lot of problems, both internal conflicts and external challenges. Shenhua, on the other hand, is a strong team with high morale, and has won three consecutive matches to show that they are champions. However, Shandong Taishan's shadow of the Asian Championship still remains, players are physically and mentally exhausted, and with injuries and illnesses, it is feared that the players' weak state will continue for some time.
