On the evening of May 11, 2024, Beijing time, the 11th round of the Chinese Super League continued. Tianjin Jinmen Tiger VS Shanghai Shenhua, this game is also the 100th game coached by Tianjin coach Yu Genwei, so Tianjin fans held up a huge banner at home. At the same time, the coach of the national football team, Ivankovic, also came to the scene to watch the game. In the end, the two teams played to a 0-0 draw. What is even more impressive than the 0-0 score is that Tianjin Jinmen Tigers didn't even have a decent shot, which was really embarrassing to throw home.
The two teams can be described as old rivals, and in the past 12 matchups, the Tianjin team has 4 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses, occupying a certain disadvantage. But at the beginning of 2022, Tianjin team has not lost to Shanghai Shenhua in the home games of the previous two seasons. Shanghai Shenhua also started from the 14th round of the Chinese Super League in the 2022 season, and faced Tianjin Jinmen Tigers 4 times without a win.
However, this season, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers' record can be described as plummeting. In the last five rounds, it was only in the last round that they defeated Henan 2-1 away. It has been even more dismal at Tianjin's home game, where they have not won six home games since 29 September 2023.
After the start of the game, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers only had a good offensive in the first 5 minutes of the game, and Shanghai Shenhua quickly reversed itself and launched a complete suppression of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers.
It should be said that the game was somewhat dull. In the 32nd minute, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger was almost broken. At that time, Shanghai Shenhua was attacking, Wang Qiuming's header solved the ball and accidentally pushed the ball to his backfield, Xie Pengfei got a one-knife ball, but unfortunately the shot hit the post, which was the best opportunity for Shanghai Shenhua in this game.
In the second half, Shanghai Shenhua replaced Dai Weijun for Hanchao, and Comrade Dai's performance in this game was unexpected by the fans, and the performance was very average.
At the end of the regular 90 minutes, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers only had one shot on goal, which was a long-range shot by Wang Qiuming, but strictly speaking, this is not a goal. Because this shot was blocked by the Shenhua defender. Shanghai Shenhua have only conceded four goals this season, and it should be said that this defense is indeed okay. On the other hand, the Tianjin Jinmen Tigers' offense, the forward line is dominated by Xie Weijun, a local striker, which is no different from joking.
In the end, Shanghai Shenhua drew with Tianjin Jinmen Tigers. After this battle, Shanghai Shenhua's points came to 27 points, 3 points ahead of Shanghai Port, but Shanghai Port had one less round than Shenhua. Shanghai Shenhua scored 8 goals in the first two rounds and did not concede 1 goal. And in this round, it seems that Shenhua has come to a period of fatigue. Moreover, although Malele often wastes good opportunities on the forward line, without him, Shenhua's attack is indeed not very good.
