In 2023, Shanghai Shenhua, under the leadership of Wu Jingui, won the FA Cup championship with solid defensive tactics. Two young centre-backs, Jiang Shenglong and Zhu Chenjie, have grown rapidly under this tactical system and have become members of the best team in the Chinese Super League. However, with the departure of Wu Jingui and the arrival of the new Russian coach, Shenhua's tactical style is expected to undergo a major shift.
The arrival of a new Russian coach may bring more aggressive attacking football, which is a new challenge for Jiang Shenglong and Zhu Chenjie, who are known for their defensive skills. During the Wu Jingui era, they were very good in defence, especially in the FA Cup final, where Jiang Shenglong's outstanding performance helped the team win the title.
However, it remains to be seen whether the technical characteristics of Jiang Shenglong and Zhu Chenjie can adapt to the new tactical system. The club's transition could mean that they need to adapt quickly to more attacking responsibilities while maintaining consistency on the defensive end.
Shenhua fans are looking forward to the team being able to step out of the shackles of defensive football and show a more passionate and aggressive style of play. And the pursuit of results at the top of the club has also prompted the team to make bold tactical attempts.
For Jiang Shenglong and Zhu Chenjie, this is an opportunity to grow, and it is also an opportunity to prove their all-round ability. In attacking football, whether they can continue to perform well and become a stabilizer for the team will be one of the focuses of Shenhua in the new season.
What will happen to Shenhua in the new season? Will Jiang Shenglong and Zhu Chenjie continue to shine under the new system? The answers to these questions will be revealed on the field. Let's wait and see how these two young defenders from the best team of the Chinese Super League perform in the new season. #Chinese Super League##Chinese Football##上海申花#
