A few days ago, in the third round of the AFC Champions League group stage Group F, Shandong Taishan drew 0-0 with the Singapore Lion City sailors. Singapore's Lion City sailors have performed well in the AFC Champions League this season, with a 3-0 sweep of South Korean powerhouse Daegu FC in the last round, which impressed fans. Therefore, it is indeed very difficult for the Taishan team to draw with the Singapore Lion City Sailors in the reserve team lineup, which deserves praise from fans and the outside world. It is worth mentioning that in the Singapore Lion City Mariners, there is also a player who is very familiar to Chinese Super League fans, he is the South Korean center Kim Xinyu, who once played in Shenhua.
Jin Xinyu hit a career low when he played for Shenhua last season. Kim Shin-woo, who couldn't find the feeling of scoring a goal for a long time, originally Shenhua wanted to loan him to Jinmen Tiger. As a result, Jin Xinyu was reluctant to go to Jinmen Tiger, and he directly chose to leave the team. Kim Shin-woo started a new chapter in his career with a three-year high-paying contract with the Singapore Lion City Mariners. In Taishan's game against the Lion City Mariners, Kim Shin-woo was affected by injuries and did not get a chance to start.
The Lion City mariners sent Kim Shin-woo on as a substitute in the 62nd minute of the game. At that time, the Lion City sailors had been unable to score points in the game, so the team sent high school forward Kim Xinyu, hoping that he could break the deadlock for the team. Kim Shin-woo was awarded a number of must-score chances after coming off the bench. Unfortunately, Kim Shin-woo is not in the best state, whether it is a low shot in front of the goal or a header to grab the point, he can't knock on the Tarzan team's door.
Therefore, seeing Jin Xinyu's performance in the AFC Champions League so depressed, many Shenhua fans should feel very fortunate. Shenhua fans are glad that the team did not leave Jin Xinyu, otherwise in his current state, he would definitely continue to play as a substitute in the team. Jin Xinyu joined Shenhua in the early days of the 2019 season, and he did a really good job, often scoring goals like a good drama. At that time, Shenhua was in a difficult time of relegation, and Kim Xinyu's goal helped the team complete the relegation task. At the same time, in the FA Cup final between Shenhua and Luneng, Jin Xinyu also scored a goal that turned the tide.
Jin Xinyu's outstanding performance made Shenhua fans feel that the team had picked up the treasure. However, Jin Xinyu's performance in Shenhua Highlight lasted only half a season, and in the next two seasons, his characteristics were thoroughly explored by opponents. Kim Shin-woo suffered another injury at Shenhua, leaving him out of the team for a long time. In desperation, Shenhua can only give up Jin Xinyu, which is something that many Shenhua fans feel sorry for. Jin Xinyu has made great achievements for Shenhua, so Shenhua fans hope that Jin Xinyu can find the best state as soon as possible, and strive to usher in an outbreak in Singapore Lion City sailors and truly sit in the main force.
