The story of Shanghai Shenhua always makes people feel both surprised and moved. Last season, when many people were not optimistic about it, Shenhua won the FA Cup, which was not only an affirmation of the players, but also a recognition of the coaching ability of the coach Wu Jingui at that time. However, the football stadium is like this, victory and defeat are commonplace, and a derby loss to SIPG has become the fuse for Wu Jingui's dismissal. This made many fans feel sorry, after all, Shenhua under the leadership of Wu Jingui has brought us so many exciting moments.
However, football is all about moving forward. Shenhua soon welcomed Slutsky, a famous coach who won many championships in the Russian Premier League. His arrival has given Shenhua fans new hope. Judging from the warm-up games after Slutsky took over, the team's performance was indeed eye-catching. What's even more exciting is that Slutsky's bold use of young players, the performance of Jin Shunkai and others proves that Shenhua's youth training is strong. This is not only an investment in the future of the team, but also a celebration of youth.
Speaking of Slutsky's hole cards, we have to mention Shenhua's veteran Eddie. Although we didn't see him in the warm-up games, that doesn't mean his role was overlooked. Eddie's man-marking ability is outstanding, and in last season's FA Cup final, he managed to limit the opponent's core Cressan and put the Tarzans' attack in a difficult situation. This time, in the face of SIPG, Slutsky is likely to use Eddie again and let him play against Oscar, such a tactical arrangement is not only a trust in the veteran, but also a subtle control of the game.
Under the leadership of Slutsky, Shenhua has not only become more tactically mature, but also has a more positive team atmosphere. The arrival of Slutsky is not just as simple as changing a coach, but also like injecting a new soul into Shenhua. His promotion of young players has shown the infinite possibilities of Shenhua's future. At the same time, the proper use of veterans also makes people feel the wisdom and experience on the football field.
For us ordinary fans, every change in Shenhua touches our hearts. From Wu Jingui to Slutsky, although the personnel has changed, Shenhua's spirit and desire for victory have never changed. In the new season, we have reason to believe that under the leadership of Slutsky, Shenhua will bring us more surprises. The combination of youth and experience will be the biggest attraction of Shenhua's new season. Let's look forward to Shenhua's wonderful performance in the Super Cup, cheer for them, and cheer for football in Shanghai!
