"It's great to be back on the pitch," Oscar is looking forward to a derby

After beating Dalian 3-0 on aggregate, Shanghai Harbour successfully advanced to the final four of this year's FA Cup. On Wednesday afternoon, they will have the first leg of the semi-finals against the familiar shanghai Shenhua team. In the league and Shenhua twice played, the Harbor team won one win and one draw, but in the two games, the Harbor team's lineup configuration was more and more missing, until this meeting, the proportion of foreign aid and forward numbers between the two sides was further "out of balance", but the defense of both teams has a lot of praiseworthy places...

Since Oscar joined Harbor, the team has not lost a single derby in the league. After winning the Dalian on Friday, Oscar expressed his expectations for the game: "The derby is a difficult game, we know Shenhua, they also know the harbor, I believe we can play two legs in the semi-finals and finally reach the final." ”

This year's Harbor team seems to have the advantage of strength, but trapped injuries and personnel draws are factors, and there are not many times when they can really put on the strongest lineup. This time encountered Shenhua, the same is the case, the opponent in addition to Bassogo, always sitting on four foreign aides, all the way to the elimination of Yatai and Shenzhen team, Dunbia and Moreno have scored, and Jonić did a good job of defending. So far, Shenhua has maintained a record of not conceding a goal for 360 minutes. As for the harbor, before Oscar's comeback, only Paulinho had one foreign aid available, and it was Oscar who could stimulate Paulinho's maximum potential.

Since recovering from an injury to his right toe, Oscar has been racing against the clock on the training ground before finally making his comeback debut in the second leg against Dalian. Judging from just a few touches and the feeling in front of goal, the Brazilian, who was a month and a half away from the field, obviously took some time, and his close-up header was deflected out of the right part. Since the first leg was already 0-3 behind, when the Harbor team met again, the Dalian team sent a lot of young people, and Lecco gave Oscar nearly half an hour of time, the purpose is to let him "find the feeling". Objectively speaking, the Oscars after the debut were not too tightly packed, and this "treatment" was almost impossible when encountering Shenhua.

In the past few derbys, Oscars have been the focus of Shenhua's defense. Last season, Shenhua's former coach Choi Kang-hee used people-focused tactics to limit Oscar, and now it is unknown whether Mao Yijun will copy it, but there are many good players in shenhua who perform such tactics, such as Qian Jiezhi, Sun Shilin and Eddie. In addition to the defense, the necessary physical confrontation is certainly indispensable, so Oscar himself also needs to be fully prepared physically and psychologically.

Of course, Oscar was never an easy person to back down. In this year's league victory over Shenhua, it was he who cut off Moreno's foot ball at the back and pushed all the way forward to give Li Shenglong a killer assist. This time, the Oscars naturally hope to continue the winning result. 'It's great to be back on the pitch to help the team and hopefully my own situation will get better and better and find my best form as soon as possible. Oscar said.
