Abstract: In the 2024 Chinese Super League season, Shanghai Shenhua won all the first 5 rounds and ranked first in points, but there was a similar situation last year and finally did not win the championship. Shenhua's attack points are scattered, and many players can score. Competitor Chengdu Rongcheng is also strong. The real test came in the derby at the end of April.
In the 2024 Chinese Super League season, Shanghai Shenhua maintained a full victory, ranking first with 15 points, and many Shenhua fans shouted that the championship this season was stable. But the author believes that Shenhua fans still laugh too early, because in the first five rounds of last year, Shenhua was also undefeated, the first in the league, but the final champion was next door SIPG.
The author is not wrong in the first five rounds of last year, Shanghai Shenhua won four games in a draw, but then lost to Chengdu Rongcheng, which became a turning point, falling from the first to the third, and the second turning point was the 7th round to the 10th round, 4 consecutive games without a win, and after losing to Shandong Taishan in the 16th round, there was no doubt about the championship, especially in the 19th round of the Shanghai derby fiasco, which became the fuse for Wu Jingui's dismissal. The morale of the whole team quickly collapsed
But in 2024, the situation will be different from 2023, because in 2023, 13 goals were just scored in the first 15 rounds, and now Shenhua has scored 13 goals in 5 rounds. It's not 1-0 or the victory of Shanghai Shenhua.
At the same time, the attack points of Shanghai Shenhua's front line have been scattered, relying on the impact of Malele and the goal of the veteran Hanchao. Now Shenhua has a lot of outputs, from Teixeira to Luiz can score, Malele still maintains the melody of happy football.
And there is another very important thing, that is, the old rival Shandong Taishan is now in crisis, and this economic crisis will not be solved for a while and a half.
Shanghai Port because of the impact of an event, this year there is no large investment, so Shanghai Shenhua's competitor is Chengdu Rongcheng, winter window, Shenhua is spent 9 million to buy Xie Pengfei, Chengdu Rongcheng is 500 to win Wei Shihao, now the two teams in the standings first and second, last season Shenhua lost to Chengdu Rongcheng, fell all of a sudden.
At present, the test of Shenhua has not really arrived, the April 13th against Beijing Guoan is just a small test, and the derby at the end of April is the final exam.
