Shanghai Shenhua lost the third place in the league finale against Zhejiang. In the AFC Cup, Shenhua also failed to touch the trophy and failed to win.
Jiang Shenglong and Zhu Chenjie will shoulder the burden of defense against Taishan! Despite a packed bench, Taishan will not be able to field their strongest side for the match.
