In the 12th round of the 2024 Chinese Super League, Shanghai Shenhua defeated Qingdao Manatee 2-0 at home, although Shenhua's Manafa did not score, but he was very critical in the 87th minute, and the bottom cross under acceleration was very crucial.
In the game that Manafa started this season, Shenhua not only did not lose, but also did not draw, and the author has the impression that almost all of them won the game
The author believes that the main thing is that Manafa has good talent and a good foundation, how to say that he is also a player who has played in the five major leagues, has experienced the tempering of the five major leagues, and suddenly came to the Chinese Super League in the fast-paced European mainstream league, just like the Monkey King in Dragon Ball Weight training, after suddenly taking off the heavy equipment, he immediately felt as light as a swallow, Manafa should be this feeling.
Secondly, Manafa's physical strength is really good, in the game against Qingdao Manatee, Manatee's defenders can hardly run, in front of Manafa's sudden acceleration, it is obvious that he can't keep up with the rhythm, this is the value of a foreign aid, Manafa is an offensive fullback, the speed is not top, but within 10 meters of acceleration, he can still directly throw off a large number of domestic players
It's a pity that he didn't play in the game against SIPG, which led to insufficient pressure on Shenhua to SIPG on the side, and finally ended in a draw, and in the game of Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, because he had just returned from injury, Slutsky didn't dare to risk using people, just let him play to adapt to the rhythm.
In the 12 rounds of the new season, Manafa played 9 games and had 2 assists, as a pawn on Slutsky's side, he not only had a bottom pass, a 45-degree cross, but also a passing cross, three kinds of cross defense, but also made Shenhua's offensive routine more flexible, and his presence also allowed Shenhua to play the effect Slutsky wanted.
