On May 17, the fifth round of the Chinese Super League was in full swing, with Changchun Yatai and Shanghai Shenhua engaged in a fierce battle. In the end, Shenhua beat Yatai by a narrow margin of 1-0, successfully breaking the deadlock of three consecutive draws and giving Shenhua its first defeat of the season. After the match, Shenhua player Sun Shilin sat down and accepted an exclusive interview with the media.
In the interview, Sun Shilin confessed, "Recently, the team has suffered a lot of injuries and illnesses, and there are also several main players called up by the national team, which has a certain impact on our preparation. In today's game, although we went all out, perhaps Changchun's defense was even better and they grasped several key opportunities."
