This season's Relegation Group of the Chinese Super League has come to an end, the final relegation battle can be described as unprecedentedly fierce, the deadly goals have been staged many times, and the "relegation expert" Tianjin Jinmen Tiger has successfully landed, avoiding participating in the cruel elevator play-off.
In the final round, Shanghai Shenhua defeated Henan Songshan Longmen by 3 goals, ending all the matches of the season. This season, Shenhua stumbled in the first stage, and finally missed the second stage of the championship group with a 1-point disadvantage, and also entered the relegation group with a point advantage.
Shenhua has many experienced veterans and a number of former internationals, but the team's results are still not satisfactory. The team's high school striker Yang Xu, since joining the team in 2020, has not scored a goal in the league and has not contributed assists.
In the last league game of this season, high school striker Yang Xu started and was replaced in the 70th minute of the game, which was also unproductive, while U21 youngster Wang Haijian scored twice.
Yang Xu debuted in Liaoning and played for Shandong Luneng, Changchun Yatai, Tianjin Tianhai and Shanghai Shenhua in his career. Yang Xu's report card in the national team is even more eye-catching, scoring 28 goals in 54 games, the second active player behind Wu Lei.
Yang Xu has helped the national football team, scoring goals in the first game of three consecutive World Preliminary Tournaments, and the 33-year-old Yang Xu has gradually faded out of the national team as he grows older.
