After Li Tie, Du Zhaocai, Chen Xuyuan and other moths were caught, the competition environment of the Chinese Super League ushered in a thorough purification, coupled with the five foreign aid policies implemented by the Football Association, which made the new season of the teams invest in the warm, and the pattern of competing for the championship has been formed.
As last season's Chinese Super League champion, Shanghai Port has been questioned, the outside world believes that the port is under the blessing of Chen Xuyuan, and the former president of Shanghai Port Group is even more arrested in the Football Association's corruption action, so the gold content of the Super League championship of the harbor is insufficient. Therefore, this season will be a huge test for Harbour, and if they can successfully defend their title, they will be able to salvage the club's image and silence doubters. However, in the first round, Shanghai Port encountered the former Chinese Super League champion Wuhan Three Towns, and such a schedule was extremely unfavorable for Shanghai Port.
In the case that the Brazilian striker Gustavo could not play, Shanghai Port had to play with three foreign aids. In the 3rd minute of the opening game, Oscar fell to the ground in the penalty area but did not deceive the penalty, in the 9th minute, Wu Lei's inward shot was bravely blocked by Liu Dianzuo, and in the 11th minute, Rusa inserted and pushed the shot high above the crossbar. Missed opportunities one after another, Shanghai Port paid the price. In the 20th minute, Wuhan Three Towns counterattacked, Balde won the ball and his burst shot was blocked, and then Wang Yi made a clever supplementary shot to rewrite the score to 1-0.
Subsequently, Lu Wenjun and Zhang Linpeng were injured and went off the field, so that Shanghai Port had to face the battle with remnants. In a desperate situation, it was Wu Lei in the 33rd minute, who scored with a wonderful volley in the penalty area to turn the score into 1-1. Yibian fought again, and the two sides reached a stalemate, until the 75th minute, Oscar made a subtle cross from the left, and Wu Lei, who was outflanked in the penalty area, shook his head and scored to overtake the score. In the 91st minute, substitute Wang Shenchao scored another header, and the final score was fixed at 3-1, and Shanghai Port completed the reversal.
In this campaign, Shanghai Port got 70% possession and had as many as 24 shots on goal in the whole game, showing the quality of the Chinese Super League champion. With only 3 foreign aids, Shanghai Port can still kill all sides, which is also thanks to Wu Lei's super play. There is no doubt that after winning the Golden Ball Award four times, Wu Lei's self-confidence has greatly increased, and he is now a well-deserved king of the Chinese Super League and the most indispensable banner figure of Shanghai Port. This is very similar to South Korean international Son Heung-min, who is currently the captain of Tottenham Hotspur, and Wu Lei, like him, is also growing into the soul of a giant-level team.
