In the Shenhua vs.
national security
In the powerful lineup of Shenhua, the two Korean stars are particularly eye-catching. Shenhua's center forward Kim Shin-wook, as a key part of the team's offense, exists like a siege hammer; while Guoan's defense center Kim Min-jae is like a needle in the sea, stabilizing the rear defense. However, before the match, there were rumors about the injury of these two Korean players. In today's pre-match press conference, the coaches of both teams spoke out.
According to last night's Beijing media reports, Jin Xinyu arrived at the field alone and warmed up early in the first training session after Shenhua's arrival at the tournament, a scene that triggered the concern of some Shenhua fans. However, it was a misunderstanding. It turns out that Jin Xin Yu has always been in the habit of training early. At today's conference, Shenhua boss Cui Kangxi said, "Kim Shin-wook and Basogo's training performance is very good, they can participate in the game. All the other players on the team are also in good shape, and we'll think about how to arrange the lineup."
As for Guoan's South Korean international Kim Min-Ja, he unfortunately suffered a broken toe in training last month. In view of the upcoming league match, Kim opted for conservative treatment rather than surgery. Recently, Korean media revealed that Kim's recovery is not optimistic, and the possibility of his return this month is low. Speaking about Kim Min Ja's injury, Guoan manager Bilic responded, "Kim Min Ja's recovery progress is similar to that of Bieira and Bakambu, who have all just returned to the team. If we give them another week, the recovery may be more satisfactory. However, we were all in good shape during yesterday's training. As for who will start, I am even a bit troubled now. The lineup arrangement gives me a headache, but I believe we are all in good shape."
