Shanghai Shenhua (soccer team)
Manager Wu Jingui commented, "In today's game, the team had a high possession rate in the first half, took the initiative in offense and created a lot of chances, but in the end, it was a little short on key passes and shots on goal. Facing the opponent's quick adjustment and counterattack, we did encounter some challenges. However, on the whole, the players showed a strong desire to win and a good fighting spirit, although they still need to improve in some key moments. In extra time, we were lucky to get a penalty, which was the result of all the players' efforts. We also made some adjustments for today's game, and some of the players may not be able to adapt for a while, but in the end the performance was fine."
Talking about the team's injury situation, Wu Jingui revealed: "Originally, Wu Xi was scheduled to come back in Haikou, but he still felt discomfort in his inner thigh. After a period of treatment and rehabilitation training, he has now started training with the team. Bo Jiajun and Cao Yunding also have minor health problems, and their performance in training has not yet reached the match level, and they are actively recovering."
