Fan Zhiyi, Xie Hui, Mao Yijun, Liu Jun, Zhu Qi and others sat together, listening carefully to Xu Genbao's speech, such a scene makes people have the illusion of going back in time, in the 1995 season, Shenhua's ** generation used this model to win ten consecutive victories, and stood on the top podium of the domestic top league for the first time. 29 years later, this scene was reproduced at the 2024 departure ceremony of Shenhua Club and the 30th anniversary of its establishment.
Time flies, and the young players who came out of the school have now taken off their shirts and changed their identities, but they still have a close connection with Shanghai football and Shanghai Shenhua. Watching the new generation of Shenhua players led by Zhu Chenjie and Jiang Shenglong on the stage, the old Shenhua "felt a lot of emotion, and they also had their own expectations for the parent team that was about to compete in the new season."

Smiles and tears.
In the late autumn of 1995, after Shenhua won the league championship for the first time in Jinan Taishan (now Shandong Taishan), the captain Fan Zhiyi cried with joy, which became a classic moment in Shanghai and even Chinese football. Today, more than 20 years later, Fan Zhiyi still does not change his true colors in temperament, and once again dedicated a "famous scene" of smiles and tears at the departure ceremony.
In the last time before the ceremony, Fan Zhiyi became one of the busiest people in the Wanti Hall, he first pulled Xie Hui to use English mixed with Chinese in a unique way, and had a good conversation with the Shenhua coaching staff led by Slutsky, and was praised by Shuai for his good English speaking old fan, and humorously proposed to the Russian coaching staff that "if you have time, you can learn two sentences of Shanghainese to facilitate the relationship with the players and fans." As soon as he turned his head, General Fan, who was wearing a leather jacket, had a warm exchange with Liu Jun, Qu Shengqing, Qiu Shengjiong and other old teammates and juniors, and the smile on his face always showed the good mood of this Shenhua meritorious captain.

When the event got to the point, Fan Zhiyi once again became the protagonist, and he was awarded the "Lifetime Achievement Award" for his outstanding performance and influence during his time at Shenhua. In the face of such love from the club, Fan Zhiyi couldn't help but shed tears when receiving the award, and he said bluntly: "Thank you to all my teammates and fans, I feel ashamed to receive such a weighty award, and I am even more excited now than when I won the league championship in 1995." In Fan Zhiyi's eyes, Shenhua is not only a team, but also represents the responsibility of winning glory for the city, with tears in his eyes, he then made a request to Shenhua's juniors: "I hope you will use unremitting efforts and higher morale to win more honors for Shenhua." Together with Fan Zhiyi, who won the Lifetime Achievement Award, there is also Xu Genbao, the godfather of Shanghai football, and Xu Gui, who is leading the team to play in other places, expressed his gratitude to Shenhua through **, and wished the team all the best in the new season.
Planning and anticipation.
Xie Hui, who had just held a wedding with his wife not long ago, came to the ceremony in a black coat "cool", and in the exchange with the Shenhua coaching staff, the sentence "My wife is Russian" aroused the curiosity of Slutsky and Berezutsky, and also shortened the distance between the two sides. In an interview after the departure ceremony, Xie Hui also revealed his next plan and expectations.
Coming to this venue today, there is a familiar feeling, and the scene of the establishment of Shenhua at the end of 1993 has come to mind. Xie Hui said, "I want to thank everyone who has contributed to Shenhua, because they have such a big family." He also bluntly said that what impressed him the most during the expedition ceremony was the Shenhua review full of memories**.

For various reasons, Xie Hui left the coach's seat of the Chinese Super League this offseason, but for the next step, the young coach of football already has a plan, "I hope to take a break first, be able to arrange things at home, and then may choose to go to Europe for further study." Then watch some of Europe's best teams play to adjust and enrich yourself. Xie Hui said.
Talking about the upcoming Super Cup, which will be played this Sunday afternoon, is also a hot topic at the departure ceremony, Xie Hui said with a smile: "I will watch the live broadcast at home that day, and I hope it will be a good game." Speaking of the result in his heart, the famous man who has worked in Shenhua Port thought for a while and said: "The game will be tough, maybe it will be a draw in 90 minutes, but in the end I hope Shenhua can win the championship."
