The drums of the second phase of the Chinese Super League are about to beat, and on August 3, a report from Shanghai Weekly focused on Shanghai Shenhua's preparation for the game.
At night, Shenhua took flight HO1165 at Shanghai Pudong International Airport and headed straight to Dalian Zhoushuizi Airport, marking the official opening of the second phase of the Chinese Super League season. Shenhua regarded Dalian Jinzhou Stadium as their "second hometown", and in the next half-month, the team will use it as a base to face Changchun Yatai and Shandong Taishan.
However, due to special reasons, half of the flights from Shanghai Pudong to Dalian were canceled today. Fortunately, Shenhua's flight left on time and arrived half an hour earlier than expected. Upon arrival in Dalian, the team members quickly completed their nucleic acid tests and then headed straight to the Crowne Plaza Hotel at the Dalian Sports Center, which is where they chose to stay for the first stage of the league.
It is worth mentioning that Zhu Chenjie, Jiang Shenglong, Liu Ruofan and Wen Jiabao, who participated in the East Asian Cup with the national soccer selection team, were unable to travel to Dalian with the team. Wu Xi fractured ribs, Bi Jinhao femoral head fracture, the two need to recuperate, not with the team for the time being. Yu Hanchao, Qian Jie give, Zhu Jianrong, Wang Yi and Li Yunqiu are subject to varying degrees of injury, fear that will not be able to debut in the game with Changchun Yatai on the 5th. Goalkeeper Zeng Cheng has begun training with the team, but from the physical condition, he may also be difficult to participate in the game.
Zhu Chenjie, Jiang Shenglong, Liu Ruowan vanadium and Wen Jiabao has finished the East Asian Cup, but they are still in the "7 + 3" quarantine period, this Sunday to be lifted from quarantine, and from Haikou to Dalian, so can not take part in Shenhua and Changchun Yatai match. Zhu Yue, He Longhai and Jiang Zhixin in the first team list have reported to the U21 national football team. Injuries and national call-ups have left as many as 15 people on Shenhua's first-team roster potentially unavailable for the August 5 match, which undoubtedly poses a serious challenge to head coach Wu Jingui's lineup.
