Since the beginning of the National Football League professional league in 1994, the
Beijing Guoan (soccer team)
与
Shanghai Shenhua (soccer team)
The two veteran teams are playing together. After the twists and turns of the "neutral name" reform, the two teams have set sail again in the new season. 8:00 p.m. on the night of April 23rd, the two teams will meet in the first round of the 2021 season of the Chinese Super League, and the "Beijing-Shanghai Battle" will continue to write a new legend.
Focus 1: Bilic's Super League debut
As the giants of domestic soccer, b>Guoan
The team has retained the same starting lineup that finished third in last season's Chinese Super League and has effectively added U23 players, which still gives the team the strength to attack the Chinese Super League title. The much-anticipated new manager, Bilic, is also highly anticipated by the fans.

He took over the coaching reins from Frenchman Genesio and has completed the initial revamping of Guiao in the past three months. Bilic said that the team's previous offensive system was very mature and he would not make drastic changes. Relatively speaking, he is more concerned about the initiative and aggressiveness on the defensive end.
Facing a strong Shenhua team, Bilic will face the test of personnel arrangement, formation and field command for the first time. Let's wait and see whether this personality manager can lead the team to play the expected "rock" soccer.
Focus 2: A new combination of three lines
Affected by the epidemic, Guoan's two foreign aiders from last season, Augusto and Fernando, failed to return to the team on time, and the club urgently signed Lucas Sousa to fill the vacancy in the midfield. From the recent two warm-up matches and training sessions of the group confrontation, Guoan and Shenhua battle, Bilic may be in the front center and back three lines to introduce a new combination of personnel.
In the warm-up game scored 4 goals Bakambu hot, he and Bieira, Zhang Xunzhe three people are expected to form a front "trident"; Ji Zhongguo, Sosa in the midfield constitutes a barrier; due to Kim Minya toe injury has not yet fully recovered from four international players Yu Dabao, Yu Yang, Li Lei, Wang Gang composed of a greater chance of debut in the back line; and the U23 players In the U23 players, Gao Tianyi, He Zhenyu and Park Yang have the opportunity to get a chance to play.

Regardless of how it's put together, this will be an entirely new lineup. With an unorganized staff, let's see how Bilic pinches together the current personnel to create the most efficient starting lineup possible.
Focus 3: "Beijing-Shanghai War" has a new chapter
The "Beijing-Shanghai Battle" has never lacked of topics, from the Beijing-Shanghai rivalry in 1995, to the record score of "9-1", and now the two oldest teams, which have retained their club names for more than 20 years, meet in the first round of the tournament.... ...All the past is a prelude, and new recruits and new managers will surely continue to write new stories.
In the new season, Shenhua brought in a total of eight new recruits, especially in the midfield and forward positions, the addition of Wu Xi, Adrian, Bassogo and He Longhai further enhanced the team's offensive strength. South Korean coach Choi Kang-hee coaches the team for the second season, and the tactical play is more reasonable.
Choi Kang-Hee is resourceful
In the face of such a strong opponent, Guoan manager Bilic said: "This is a national derby-level game, the strength gap between the two teams is not big. Shenhua is a veteran team in the Chinese Super League, and with a number of new recruits joining the team this season, their strength should not be underestimated. This game will not appear one-sided situation, will certainly play very stalemate, depending on who can better grasp the game trend."
Choi Kang-hee, on the other hand, said, "This year we have made reinforcements in quite a few positions, especially in the positions that are lacking, and that is why we are looking forward to the new season."
