Shanghai Shenhua meets the mediocre Manatees in this round of the Chinese Super League, and this game must be won for coach Slutsky and the players. Because, Shenhua was unexpectedly forced to draw by the Jinmen Tigers in the last round, and the leading advantage in the league was further narrowed. If Shenhua can't win the Manatees at home in this round, then the team will most likely be directly overtaken by SIPG. The Shenhua team, which was under heavy pressure, did not burst out with super combat effectiveness. On the contrary, the players on the Shenhua field are burdened with the ideological baggage of wanting to win and being afraid of losing.
Manatee seized the psychology of the Shenhua players who were eager to get three points at home, and patiently dealt with the opponent. Manatee's defensive counterattack tactics were very effective, and once made the Shenhua gate noisy. If it weren't for the Manatee striker's poor ability to grasp opportunities in front of the goal, Shenhua would have fallen behind. Among them, in the second half of the game, the Manatees seized the mistake of Shenhua goalkeeper Bao Yaxiong and formed an excellent shooting opportunity.
Bao Yaxiong could not do anything about the ball and had already given up resistance in advance. Only central defender Jiang Shenglong played hard to clear the siege and defuse the Manatees' goal. As the saying goes, if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, after Jiang Shenglong resolved the Manatees, Shenhua's offense gradually picked up. Jiang Shenglong boldly stepped forward in the central defender position and staged a good show of grabbing the point to shoot. Jiang Shenglong's close-range shot left Manatee Door God Mu Pengfei powerless, and at the same time allowed Shenhua to take a 1-0 lead.
After Shenhua took a 1-0 lead, the team completely got rid of the mental baggage of wanting to win and being afraid of losing, and it was Malele who scored a goal in injury time. After 90 minutes of fierce battle with the Manatees, Shenhua defeated the opponent 2-0 and got three valuable points. There is no doubt that Jiang Shenglong is the first contributor to Shenhua's 2-0 victory over Manatee in this round. It can be said that without Jiang Shenglong's world-class goalmouth clearance, Shenhua would not have been able to score points against the Manatees. If the Manatees were the first to score, they would definitely put a big bus formation directly, making it impossible for Shenhua to tie the game. In addition, Jiang Shenglong not only has a leaky performance on the defensive end of Shenhua, but also contributes to the goal on the offensive end.
Jiang Shenglong's excellent state has made many national football fans shine. National football fans bluntly said that the team's home game against Thailand in June, Jiang Shenglong can be entrusted with the important task by coach Ivankovic. Considering that the national football team cannot afford to lose at home in Thailand, the team can directly put on a three-center-back formation. Jiang Shenglong, Zhu Chenjie, and Jiang Guangtai joined forces to ensure that the national football team would not be breached by the Thai team. At the same time, when the national football team needs to give it a go, coach Ivankovic can also put Jiang Shenglong in the center position. Looking forward to Jiang Shenglong's focus battle against Thailand at the home of the national football team, he can effectively turn the tide and lead the team to win the opponent.
