In recent years, many players of the Chinese women's football team have gone abroad to study abroad, but only Shen Monroe and Shen Mengyu have touched the championship trophy. In fact, Shen Monroe won the Portuguese League Cup with the team that time, which cannot be counted, because she did not participate in a game, which is a proper lying championship. She played for a sports club in Portugal at the time.
Shen Mengyu is different, last season she was the main core player of the Celtic women's team, helping the team win two titles in the Scottish League Cup and the Scottish Women's Cup. Of course, the most weighty Scottish Women's Premier League title was not won, only third place.
This season, Celtic Women set their sights on winning the Scottish Women's Premier League, the most weighty Scottish Women's Super League, and reaching next season's European Cup, where the top two can play in the Champions League. However, it is still very difficult to achieve this goal, because the Scottish women's football team has two traditional hegemons, the Scottish Rangers women's team and the Glasgow City women's team. These two women's football teams dominate the top two places in the league all year round, and the two teams take turns dominating the league.
Therefore, for the Celtic women's team, it is still quite difficult to cross these two mountains. This season, Celtic Women have been beating Glasgow Rangers Women, but have been trailing Glasgow City Women in points. In the Scottish Women's Cup, because the bench depth was not enough, the Celtic women's team also gave up the League Cup, and the substitutes were eliminated early, focusing on the Super League and Scottish Cup titles. The opponent in the semi-finals of the Scottish Cup is the roadblocker Glasgow City Women.
In the 26th round of the Scottish Women's Premier League, the fourth round of the championship group, Glasgow City Women suffered an unexpected loss, giving Celtic Women a chance to close the gap further. Therefore, Celtic Women's team must win this match against Harz Women. Shen Mengyu, who has been in unstable form this season, started the game, and although Shen Mengyu is in unstable form this season, the head coach still trusts her more in key games. And Shen Mengyu often can't play his full strength against weak teams this season, and he is full of spirit when he arrives at the key game.
Against the Hartz women's football match, Shen Mengyu sat in the midfield and became the central nerve of the team, controlling the rhythm on the field. Because this is a competition in the championship group, the opponent is not weak. But Shen Mengyu sorted out the midfield in an orderly manner, and the Celtic women's team quickly took advantage on the court. And then the carnage mode was turned on. Celtic Women scored three goals in the first and second halves to beat Hartz Women 6-0.
Among them, the goal in the 10th minute is from Shen Mengyu's assist, in fact, the author has always said that Shen Mengyu's performance is not measured by the number of goals and assists, her contribution is in the control of the offensive and defensive rhythm in the midfield. Another Chinese women's football player, Shen Monroe, came off the bench in the 56th minute. With the win, Celtic Women's has narrowed to two points from leaders Glasgow City Women in terms of total points and leads the way in goal difference. The two teams also have a chance to go head-to-head, and if Celtic Women win, they will have a good chance of lifting the league trophy.
After the big victory over Harz Women, the semi-finals of the Scottish Women's Cup were played, with Celtic Women facing Glasgow City Women directly and going directly to the final of the Scottish Women's Cup. The match was also seen as a rehearsal for the pinnacle showdown between the two teams in the league. In this game, Shen Monroe started, and Shen Mengyu came off the bench.
In the 18th minute, Celtic Women attacked with a direct pass through the opponent's defence, and Flint took the opportunity to score the ball. After conceding the goal, the Glasgow City Women's team launched a crazy counterattack, Shen Mengyu was in danger, and after coming on the field, she controlled the rhythm on the field well and suppressed the offensive momentum of the Glasgow City Women's team. In the end, the Celtic women's team reached the final. The opponent in the final was Glasgow Rangers Women.
When the Women's World Cup is getting closer and closer, Shen Mengyu suddenly found his best game again, and the control of the midfield began to be handy again, I wonder if Shui Qingxia can give Shen Mengyu a chance to participate in the Women's World Cup?
