Shanghai Port, the leaders of the Chinese Super League, recently suffered an unexpected defeat, losing to their last opponent in the Thai Super League. The scene of this match is unbelievable, and some are even suppressed by the opponent. This failure has once again sparked discussion about Chinese football, which some believe is a "cliff-like downfall" of Chinese football.
The specifics of the game have also sparked some controversy. In the opponent's first goal, there was clearly a problem with the Shanghai Port team's defense. Some fans felt that the defender was too passive and did not actively meet the battle, thus allowing the opposing player to complete the pass with ease. The situation is hardly satisfactory in high-level competitions such as the AFC Champions League and raises concerns about tactical and defensive training.
Wu Lei has always been an important firepower for Shanghai Port, but in the game, the team appeared to rely too much on his performance offensively. Some fans pointed out that the team's offensive strategy seems to revolve around Wu Lei, while the offensive ability of other players has not been fully utilized. At the same time, the deployment of some tactics has also caused controversy, especially regarding the use of foreign aid. Some argue that the team relies too heavily on Oscar's passes, while other players play more defensive and counter-attacking roles. The situation has also raised concerns about the overall tactical balance of the team.
Wu Lei played for Spain, but upon returning home, he did not seem to perform as well as expected. Some netizens sarcastically said that he could not even do basic ball control, questioning whether he was still the best player in Chinese football. Some people have also raised different views on this statement, believing that Wu Lei may be affected by factors such as the team's tactical arrangement and environment.
Finally, the match also raised doubts about the competitiveness of the Chinese Super League. Although the Chinese Super League has accumulated some advantages at home, the loss to Thai teams is embarrassing. Some fans have questioned the significance of a Chinese Super League lead, especially against teams from other parts of Asia. This has also triggered thinking about the overall development of Chinese football. The defensive problems of the Shanghai Port team have also become the focus of attention. It is widely believed that there are holes in the team's backline, which leads to incongruities in defense and attack. The situation also highlights the team's problems in tactical organization and defensive strategy.
After the game, the majority of netizens had a fierce discussion on the performance of the Shanghai Port team, and put forward a sharp view. In this game, the defensive problems of Shanghai Port were highlighted, and the backwardness in key moments did not inspire enough urgency, and the overall pace was slow. Shortly after the opening game, spectators could feel the languid attitude of the domestic players, which raised doubts about whether they were really hungry for victory. Wu Lei, on the other hand, has always had difficulty finding the right angle when shooting, whether it is against the goal or sharply, and there has been no obvious improvement in his shooting skills. This phenomenon may stem from the limitations of talent, although he works very hard, sometimes talent becomes a constraint.
The situation of foreign battles is also the focus of attention, except for the former Dalian and Evergrande, the performance of other teams in the international arena is unsatisfactory. This more or less reflects the current situation of Chinese football, and various views and interpretations are constantly emerging from any point of view. Chinese football seems to have always lacked a unified attitude, losing is losing, needless to say, this seems to have become a general consensus.
Shanghai Port has had a large number of national team players who should have been strong, but lost at home to lower-ranked opponents. This result undoubtedly sounded the alarm for Chinese football and highlighted the team's problems and shortcomings in the game. At the same time, the rise of Guangzhou Evergrande Football School has also begun to achieve gratifying results, which has caused some people to be alarmed. Although there have been many criticisms and doubts about Evergrande Football School, the results achieved today prove that accumulation and patience are indeed the only way to build excellent football talents.
