Shanghai Shenhua challenged Jinmen Tigers away in this round of the Chinese Super League, and the biggest test for the team in this game was the absence of Malele and Teixeira. Malele was sent off in the last round of Shenhua's game after receiving a red card. In this case, Malele was automatically suspended for one game and missed the opportunity to play the Jinmen Tigers. Teixeira was plagued by injuries in the last round of Shenhua and missed the opportunity to play the Jinmen Tigers in advance. Shenhua's two main players were unable to play, which gave coach Slutsky a problem.
Slutsky needed to find a replacement for Malele and Teixeira in a short period of time, and after thorough consideration, he finalized Xie Pengfei and Dai Weijun. Xie Pengfei played for Malele and performed well overall, contributing a threatening shot to Shenhua. It's a pity that Xie Pengfei's shot was almost lucky and hit the Jinmen Tiger post directly. Dai Weijun replaced Teixeira, but it was almost meaningless.
Dai Weijun started the first half with a mediocre performance, and Slutsky gave him 45 minutes to replace the homegrown ace. Slutsky's substitutions on the spot did not have an immediate effect. In the end, Shenhua and Jinmen Tiger drew 0-0 after 90 minutes of fierce battle. For such a result, Shenhua fans are naturally a little dissatisfied.
Shenhua fans feel that the thickness of the team's bench is still overestimated, the two main players Teixeira and Malele cannot play, and Dai Weijun and Xie Pengfei, who replaced them, did not meet expectations in their overall performance. Therefore, if Shenhua wants to win the championship in the Chinese Super League this season, it must strengthen the summer window and enhance the thickness of the bench. At least at the level of foreign aid, it is also necessary to bring in an ace new signing.
After all, Teixeira's injury troubles are uncertain when he will return. At the same time, whether Teixeira will be able to find his best form after his comeback, Slutsky is not sure. Therefore, it is also imperative for Shenhua to strengthen after the opening of the summer window of the Chinese Super League. It is hoped that Slutsky can bring in plug-and-play reinforcements for Shenhua again in the summer window and lead the team to win the championship.
