On the evening of May 1, 2024, Beijing time, the 9th round of the Chinese Super League ushered in the match between Qingdao Manatee and Shanghai Port. In the first half, Harbour scored two goals in three minutes, while two more goals were blown away in the first half. Once again, the referee became the protagonist of the game, and of course, in terms of the strength of the Shanghai Port team, it was a simple task to win the Qingdao Manatee. Therefore, no matter what the referee decides, it is no longer so important.
In the 2013 season, in the Chinese Super League and FA Cup at that time, Qingdao Zhongneng took over the youth team under SIPG Group, which was a very simple thing. However, since Shanghai Port launched the pace of Jinyuan football, almost every game has been a beating of Qingdao Manatee. The first was the 2013 season, when the Manatees beat Qingdao Manatee 6-1, and then last season, the Manatees lost 0-5 at home. Therefore, in terms of the strength of the two teams now, Qingdao Manatee can be said to have no power to fight back in front of the harbor.
After the start of the game, the game was basically one-sided, and it was not at all enough to describe it as a half-court offensive and defensive drill. In the 27th and 30th minutes, the Harbour team scored two goals in succession, first assisted by Vargas to score Wu Lei. Then Wu Lei assisted Gustavo to break the goal, but the moment Wu Lei assisted, there was a suspected foul, so the referee ran to the sidelines to watch the VAR for a long time before confirming that the ball was valid.
If the Qingdao team had been defending strictly in the first half, it would not have conceded the goal. At that time, the physical fitness of the Harbour team came to a watershed, and the Qingdao team took advantage of the momentum of the home stadium to improve the attack. The backline has also moved forward a lot, which gives Shanghai Port a big chance. So within 3 minutes, two goals were scored in succession.
After conceding the goal, Qingdao Manatee only completed one forward advancement, and in the following time, it basically returned to the situation of "half-court offensive and defensive drills". What's more, Gustavo and Oscar had a wonderful goal, which occurred in the 44th and 45th minutes respectively. Although it was blown offside, Vargas won a world famous painting of his own with one against five.
Throughout the first half of the game, the advantage of the Shanghai Port team was huge, and the Qingdao Manatees who were playing at home were powerless, and the Shanghai Port team had a whopping 14 shots on goal in the first half, including 6 shots on target. And that's not even counting the two goals that were blown away. In terms of total passes, the harbor had 347 in the first half, while Qingdao Manatee had only a pitiful 142. The pass success rate is even more outrageous, with Harbour at 91 per cent compared to Qingdao's 65 per cent.
Therefore, the defeat of Qingdao Manatee is inevitable.
