On the field of the Chinese Super League, there is a local winger who once dominated the world, and his name is Yu Hanchao. However, in the new season of the Shanghai Shenhua team, the meritorious veteran was snubbed by the new coach Slutsky and became a chicken rib player. This change has attracted widespread attention, and people have speculated about what role the former strongest winger in the Chinese Super League has played in the new manager's tactical system.
In the 5th round of the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Shenhua defeated Wuhan Three Towns 4:1, won 5 consecutive victories, and was far ahead in the standings. However, in this game, Yu Hanchao only came off the bench in the final stage of the game and had a mediocre performance. This arrangement makes many fans feel sorry, after all, Yu Hanchao's strength and experience are indispensable assets for the team.
In fact, since the new season, Yu Hanchao's status in the team has undergone significant changes. Counting the Super Cup final, Shanghai Shenhua has played 6 games this season, while Yu Hanchao has only played 5 of them, and the number of starts is even few. Such a frequency of appearances is undoubtedly a huge blow to a former strongest winger in the Chinese Super League.
So, why did the new coach Slutsky snub Yu Hanchao so much? There is a view that Slutsky may be more inclined to use young, impactful players, and Yu Hanchao, although experienced, age and physical fitness may become his shortcomings. However, this view is clearly untenable. After all, although Yu Hanchao is 37 years old, his physical condition has not declined significantly, and he was still an indispensable thigh in the team's frontcourt last season.
In fact, the reason for Slutsky's snub to the Han Super League may be more complicated. On the one hand, the new manager needs to develop his own tactical system when he takes over, and in the process, he may be more inclined to use players he is familiar with or players who meet his tactical requirements. On the other hand, competition for other positions in the team may also be more intense, resulting in Yu Hanchao not being able to get more appearances.
However, regardless of the reason, Slutsky's snub of Hanchao is regrettable. After all, Yu Hanchao was once one of the brightest stars in the Chinese Super League, and his speed and explosiveness have made countless fans fall in love with him. His passing and shooting skills are also top-notch, creating scoring opportunities for his team when it matters most. Now, he can only wait on the bench for his opportunity, which is undoubtedly a waste of his talent.
Of course, we cannot completely dismiss Slutsky's employment strategy. After all, the game of soccer is a team sport that requires each player to be able to play their best in their position. If Slutsky thinks that other players are better suited to the needs of the team, then it makes sense for him to make such an arrangement. However, we still hope that Slutsky can give Yu Hanchao more opportunities to show his quality and experience in the game.
For Yu Hanchao, his current situation is indeed embarrassing. As a veteran, he naturally wants to continue to contribute to the team towards the end of his career. However, the reality made him feel helpless and lost. However, we believe that Yu Hanchao will not give up easily, and he will continue to train hard to get more opportunities to play in future games.
Finally, we also hope that Shanghai Shenhua can continue to achieve good results under the leadership of Slutsky. After all, a strong team needs not only young players, but also experienced and talented veterans. Only by allowing everyone to play their own strengths and potentials can the team go further and higher.
Epilogue:
Yu Hanchao's experience makes us wonder how age and experience should be balanced in the world of football? Should a good coach only pay attention to the form and strength of the players, rather than being constrained by age? We expect Slutsky to give Yu Hanchao more opportunities to continue to shine in the Chinese Super League. At the same time, we also hope that every player can be treated fairly and write their own legend with their own efforts and talents.
