At 19:35 on the evening of May 15, Beijing time, the 12th round of the Chinese Super League staged a battle that attracted attention, and the leader of the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Shenhua, sat at home to face the Qingdao Manatee with average strength. Although the two ace foreign players in the Shanghai Shenhua team, Joao Teixeira and Ibrahim Amadou, suffered injuries at the same time, they still won Qingdao Manatee 2:0 at home with their strong overall strength and achieved the ninth victory of the Chinese Super League in the new season.
In this campaign, the most eye-catching performance in the Shanghai Shenhua squad is naturally the popular central defender Jiang Shenglong of the national team. In the face of Qingdao Manatee, Jiang Shenglong not only completed the defensive task excellently, resolved the defensive crisis many times, but also staged a stunning performance on the offensive end, not only sending a key pass, but also scoring the key goal for Shenhua to score the opening goal.
In addition to Jiang Shenglong, there is another person who plays an important role as a key gentleman. It is not the foreign striker Malele who scored the winning goal, nor the defensive winger Manafa who has repeatedly created offensive threats in the frontcourt, but the local meritorious veteran who came off the bench to play in the Han Super League. The turning point of Shanghai Shenhua's game was from the 86th minute to the veteran Hanchao.
After coming on the field, the 37-year-old veteran quickly entered the game in Hanchao, frequently creating offensive opportunities for Shanghai Shenhua in the frontcourt, bringing driving force to the team's frontcourt attack. Just two minutes after Yu Hanchao came on the field, Shanghai Shenhua ushered in a goal, although this goal seems to have nothing to do with Yu Hanchao, but it is obviously inseparable from the chemistry he brought to Shenhua.
If this goal seems to have little to do with Yu Hanchao, then the goal that Shanghai Shenhua killed the game in the final stage of stoppage time came directly from the wonderful assist of the veteran Hanchao. If it weren't for Yu Hanchao's very wonderful assist, Shanghai Shenhua might not have been able to get out of the home stadium in this game. In this battle, Yu Hanchao really played an important role as a substitute for the surprise soldier, and it can be said that he overwhelmed a group of foreign aid and became the first contributor to Shenhua's victory.
The veteran Hanchao's re-outbreak in the Chinese Super League not only made Shenhua coach Slutsky overjoyed, but also made the national football coach Ivankovic like a treasure and gained a new discovery. As we all know, the Chinese men's football team is currently withering forward talents, and there are not many trustworthy international players. Especially with the injury of naturalized ace Fernando unknown, Ivankovic needs to find a replacement for him with comparable ability. Now, seeing the veteran break out again in the Chinese Super League undoubtedly made Ivankovic's eyes shine, and he can be regarded as the best replacement for Fernando.
Although Yu Hanchao is 37 years old, because he is very self-disciplined, his physical condition is maintained very well, except for the speed is slightly slower, the rest of the people are impeccable in breaking through, passing the ball and feeding the cake, and instigating the attack. If Ivankovic really doesn't think too old and recruits him into the national team, it will undoubtedly be a very wise choice. Even if Yu Hanchao can't sit firmly in the main starter, with his ability and experience, it is more than enough to play the role of a substitute wonder.
