Shanghai Shenhua has set off another wave in football, especially after beating Taishan in the FA Cup final last season to win the championship, the team's movements have attracted more attention. After winning the championship and the AFC Champions League qualification, Shenhua is not only facing the weight of glory, but also the severe test of the Chinese Super League, FA Cup and AFC Champions League. In order to cope with this challenge, Shenhua has made frequent moves and introduced a number of heavyweight new signings, including Luis, Manafa, Gao Tianyi, and Xie Pengfei, which can be said to be a must-win.
Reinforcement is the norm in the development of every club, but Shenhua's operation this time has caused widespread discussion. Luis's arrival has been particularly noteworthy, who is seen as an important addition to the team's central striker position. For Luis, the expectations of the fans are high, and everyone hopes that he can become a new star in the team. It reminds me of Malele. After joining Shenhua, Malele's performance made him the object of doubts from fans for a while, especially his ability to kick the goal. But his assist in the FA Cup final contributed to the team's championship and completed a self-redemption.
However,The enthusiasm and anticipation of the fans is a double-edged sword。New signing Luiz's warm-up performance did not fully meet expectations, and many felt that his tactical role was not as good as that of striker Yang Xu. Although Yang Xu's goal efficiency is not high, his fulcrum ability on the field is very obvious, which is exactly what Luis is currently missing. This comparison and feedback undoubtedly put more pressure on Luis. Shenhua's new coach Slutsky called on fans to give Luis more time and space, after all, there is always a process to run-in.
From a player's point of view, every player who joins a new team faces a lot of pressure and challenges, especially with such high expectations. The examples of Luis and Malele show us that there are no absolute heroes and zeros in the world of football, everyone has ups and downs。As a player, the most important thing is to keep working hard, improve yourself and respond to the support and doubts of the fans with your performance. At the same time, as fans, we should also be more patient and tolerant, and give more support and encouragement to the players.
Shenhua's new season is full of challenges, but also opportunities. The addition of new signings has undoubtedly injected fresh blood into the team and brought new hope to the fans. With support and expectation, the team and players will grow together and work towards higher goals. Let's wait and see what kind of glory Shenhua can create in the new season.
