Special correspondent Gan Hui and reporter Cheng Shan report Compared with the Taishan team, Shanghai Shuangxiong played the Super Cup, which can be regarded as entering the game state in advance. Although the AFC Champions League elite league opponents are strong and it is not easy to get points, they will go all out.

break offLess than 3 days after winning the Super Cup, Shenhua will move to the AFC Champions League Elite League. On the afternoon of the 10th, they will fly to Tokyo and then take a bus to Yokohama for the match against the Mariners on the 12th. There are still two rounds left in the first stage of the East Asian region, and Shenhua is in ninth place with 7 points, 1 point behind the promotion zone.

In the last two rounds, Shenhua's opponents are all J1 League teams, challenging the Mariners away on the 12th, and playing Kobe at home on the 18th.

When talking about the choice of multi-front battles in the new season, head coach Slutsky said that he will strive to qualify for the AFC Champions League and advance to the next stage, "To put it bluntly, the league is definitely the top priority. For the AFC Champions League, we will do our best to qualify. As for how far you can go, it depends on everyone's performance. Overall, hopefully we can do well in all competitions and achieve our ultimate goal. ”

From the perspective of the Super Cup, although Shenhua won the championship, and the main data such as ball possession, shots on goal, shots on target, corner kicks, and crosses were dominant, the team did not fully show the level it should have, and many players were still looking for form. It had to do with the unusually cold race day and the start of the season.

The Chinese Super League is not a cross-year competition system, and it is normal for Chinese players to rarely play in such low temperature conditions, so it is normal for them not to adapt to it. Some players shared the feeling of playing in this extremely cold weather, "It's cold, it's very cold, and my feet don't feel anything because it's cold." "It has a direct impact on how accurately the players handle the ball. In addition, after a two-month winter break, it will take a process for the players to improve their form.

However, the sailors and Kobe also faced similar problems, and as long as Shenhua has a firm faith, there is still a chance to create a "miracle".According to the arrangement, the day after the end of the match with the sailors, that is, on the morning of the 12th, Shenhua will fly back to Shanghai to prepare for the showdown with Kobe on the 18th.

Harbour are the only team in the top eight of the three teams in the Chinese Super League, but it will not be easy to pick up points against Kobe at home.

In order to win the double championship last season, in the critical period of the AFC Champions League elite league, Harbour actually gave up strategically, they had already calculated an account, rather than gambling heavily on the AFC Champions League during the critical period of the championship, it is better to concentrate the firepower in the late group stage. In the AFC Champions League at the beginning of the lunar calendar in February, they will definitely do their best against the two Japanese teams. It's just that the harbor that lost Oscar, Vargas, and Wu Lei has the strength to compete with the Japanese powerhouse?

In the Super Cup, the new harbor debuted, and at the foreign aid level, Vital, Gabriel, and Leonardo are all powerful although they do not have superstar halos and giant resumes.

In terms of the performance of the Super Cup, the "blind box" of the harbor "lucky", especially the Brazilian winger Gabriel, who finally joined the team, brought a surprise to Muscat, in the duel with Shenhua, he showed his personal ability and goalmouth awareness, scoring twice. What's more, although he came late, he integrated quickly and worked well with several teammates, which didn't feel like a debut at all. Muscat's failure to leave the last of the precious foreign players to a short-handed defence seems to have sparked hope for Harbour to get back on the attack, and the AFC Champions League is undoubtedly the best testing ground.

Wearing the number 10 shirt, Vital has been Harbour's most important signing this season, and the outside world once compared him to Oscar, who is not at the same level in terms of the Super Cup. And in the AFC Champions League, the requirements for this position will only be higher.

As another person in the trident, Leonardo's debut performance was not eye-catching, but as an old acquaintance of the Chinese Super League, the run-in should not be a problem. It's a pity that he couldn't play in this game against Kobe because of the ban.

The AFC Champions League is about to start, Wu Lei has not yet recovered, and if he wants to continue walking, Harbour must inspire the best form. The latest registration list includes all five foreign players from the port, but against Kobe, who has 13 points, it will not be easy for the new port to win the game.

It is reported that although it is not easy to get points, Muscat asked his players to go all out to score, after all, according to the current data, Harbour and several other rivals are likely to decide whether to qualify on goal difference.

In addition, Muscat himself said that the problem of conceding goals from three set-pieces in the game against Shenhua needs to be corrected, which is probably the most important change that Harbour needs to make when stepping into the AFC Champions League.The seaport has been flown to Japan on the 9th, arriving in Osaka first, and then taking a car to Kobe.
