At present, Shenhua's preparation is led by acting head coach Mao Yijun and his coaching team. In the warm-up match with Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, except for Wu Xi, Zhu Chenjie and Bassogo, who have the task of playing with the national team, Zhu Yue, who has just returned from the National Games, and Bai Jiajun and Cao Yunding, who are injured, all other players participate, including four foreign assistants Moreno, Adrian, Jonić and Dumbia. Goalkeeper Zeng Cheng, who fractured two ribs in the league in early May, played 45 minutes and made his first appearance in four months to make a comeback. Young players Wang Haijian, Wang Yi, He Longhai and so on have successively obtained the opportunity to play.
According to the plan, Wu Xi and Zhu Chenjie, who are preparing for the round of 12 for the national team, will be affected by overseas competitions, quarantine and other factors, and will return to the team before the start of the second stage of the league in December. Another Cameroonian international, Bassogo, has just finished two World Cup games in September. In the second round, Cameroon lost 1-2 to Côte d'Ivoire and temporarily lost the top spot, and the team's qualifying situation was grim as only the first team in the group could advance to the third stage. Considering that each subsequent round of matches was a life-and-death battle for Cameroon, after communication between the Cameroonian national team and Shenhua Club, Bassogo was able to stay in Africa to continue to prepare, basically until the end of the international match day in November.
Zhu Yue, who represented the Shanghai U20 men's football team to end the final stage of the journey has returned to Shanghai, he will first rest for a period of time, the next stage is to return to the U20 national football team to represent the team in the Chinese Second League and the FA Cup or return to the Shenhua first team to participate in joint training, at present, all parties need to communicate.
Bai Jiajun, who sprained his knee in the first leg against Hebei, is still recovering and has basically missed the FA Cup, which began in October. Cao Yunding was injured during training, and for the sake of safety, he temporarily missed the team's joint training and warm-up matches, and will soon train and recover alone with the help of team doctors.
