Will Ma Lailai, who loves playing "happy football", be about to be laid off?, Shenhua Wins Promoted Horse So Hard Heading | Team | Shenhua

On the evening of June 28th Beijing time, the 13th round of the Chinese Super League started, and Shanghai Shenhua scored with a header from Jiang Shenglong, narrowly defeating the promoted Ma Nantong Zhiyun 1-0 at home. In the first round of the competition, Shenhua temporarily ranked second in the points table with 28 points, only one point away from the leader Shanghai Port.

This is Shenhua's seventh 1-0 score of the season, with three points in hand. The result was certainly good, but the process was not satisfactory. The only goal came from a set kick. In the 31st minute, Jiang Shenglong received a corner kick from Teixeira and headed towards the goal. I originally thought that this goal would sound the horn of Shenhua's massive attack, after all, the opponent is only a relegation team. As a result, Marley continued his "happy football" and missed out on a single goal multiple times in front of the goal. In the end, Shenhua was unable to score a goal in sports matches, which must be said to be regrettable. As the fans joked, "Football is a sport where Marley performs for 90 minutes and Shenhua wins 1-0 in the end."

Jiang Shenglong's header scores the goal

Repeatedly wasting opportunities may result in punishment. In the second half, Nantong team gained control of the ball in the back of Shenhua team and launched waves of attacks in an attempt to equalize the score. In front of the Shenhua goal, there is a sea of fear and danger, which makes people feel uneasy. I could have ended the game early with more goals, but I played with my heartbeat. No wonder the head coach of Nantong team was somewhat dissatisfied with the team's failure to score in the end.

No one denies Marley's dedication on the field, and it is precisely because of his relentless running on the field that he has created opportunities time and time again. But as a forward, squandering so many scoring opportunities, in the eyes of football commentator Liu Yue, "the tactical value of the team has been devalued." Scoring goals is the ultimate result of whether the team's tactical system is effective, especially in high-level sports where continuous inability to score can also erode the team's fighting spirit. Liu Yue believes that after the transfer window opens, Marley's position may need to be adjusted.

Shenhua head coach Wu Jingui frankly stated in summarizing the game, "We knew before the game that it would be a difficult game, and the game process did indeed verify our expectations. Although the players created several opportunities in the first and second halves today, they still lacked opportunities to seize them. Faced with the opponent's fierce counterattack, it is regrettable that we did not seize the opportunity to expand our lead."

Wu Jingui believed that the process was difficult, but fortunately the result was satisfactory. "So far, 1-0 is still going on. Someone told me that playing in this way is very cost-effective, and getting three points is the most important thing no matter what. It was quite tight in the final moments, but I was still quite satisfied with keeping the city gate."

The weather is hot, and several national players at all levels have returned to the team and played continuously, causing the team to show some signs of fatigue. Wu Jingui stated that he will make efforts to adjust and prepare for the dual challenges of intensive competition schedules and hot weather in the future.

In two consecutive sets, Shen Hua has improved on the set pieces that he was not good at before. Wu Jingui said, "We have conducted special training on how to convert a corner kick from a set kick in the front court into a score. The team members practice meticulously and know how to do it when serving a set kick, which has also had an effect in this game."

Before this match, Shenhua Club held a brief ceremony for newly joined international player Dai Weijun. Dai Weijun took the number 9 jersey from Gu Jiqing, the chairman of Shenhua Club, and then put on the number 9 jersey with his name printed on it on the spot.

When it comes to the changes that Dai Weijun's joining will bring to Shenhua, Wu Jingui said, "The coaching staff is very happy because his joining can enrich the attacking routines and points at the tactical level, and the average age of players on the field has decreased. Excellent players in the 99 and 00 age groups are all in our team. We welcome his arrival, and Shenhua will provide him with a good development platform, which will be helpful for his growth."

It is reported that Dai Weijun has been training at the Shenhua base recently, and the coaching team has developed a corresponding recovery training plan for him based on his physical condition. Due to a contract dispute with a Shenzhen club, Dai Weijun did not participate in the first 12 rounds of the Chinese Super League and has been in a state of independent training.

At the scene, Dai Weijun showed off his Shanghai dialect in front of Shanghai Shenhua fans. "Hello everyone!" "Shanghai Shenhua, come on!" Dai Weijun said, "I will definitely give my all to play every game well and work with my brothers to bring more victories to Shenhua."
