In the end, after a tough battle, Shanghai Shenhua easily defeated Dalian Yingbo 2-0. It is worth mentioning that in this 2-0 friendly match, although Dai Weijun came off the bench, he impressed Sluiski with his stunning performance and proved himself well. From the situation of this game, after coming off the bench, Dai Weijun played as a shadow striker for Shanghai Shenhua, similar to the position of a winger and second striker. After he came on the field, he quickly entered the state, not only playing a good role in the offensive line, but also at a critical moment, he perfectly played the role of a goal finisher. Yu Han's wonderful assist, Dai Weijun calmly completed the shot, the timing and skill of the shot were just right, showing his excellent ability to seize opportunities in front of the goal. After this battle, Dai Weijun left a deep impression on Shenhua coach Sluiski. It is no exaggeration to say that scoring a goal in this game has added an important weight to his retention for the new season. In addition, in this winter window, Shanghai Shenhua's midfield…

In the latest football storm, the explosive revelations from well-known journalist Miao Yuan and the popular figure "Who's Better at Selling Cute" were akin to a heavy bombshell, drawing widespread attention and discussion. They claimed that in the upcoming second batch of penalties, one would be directed at a club, with news suggesting that two Chinese Super League (CSL) clubs faced the crisis of being penalized points and demoted. These two clubs were rumored to include a top-tier team, as such teams often have a massive fan base and exert significant influence throughout the league and society at large. Consequently, if they were to be penalized and demoted, an assessment of the impact would be essential. Upon hearing this news, fans quickly focused their attention on strong teams like Shanghai Port, Shanghai Shenhua, and Shandong Luneng. However, just as rumors circulated that Shandong Luneng might face punishment and trended on social media, the team's official response was decisive. They confidently declared to fans on social media, "See you in the 2025 new season of the CSL," which served as a solid shield, greatly reducing the likelihood of Luneng being penalized and demoted. After all, if a team lacked confidence in dealing with the impending outcome, it would not dare to openly express its determination to continue playing in the CSL next season. With Luneng out of the picture, the market's focus shifted more to Shanghai Port and Shanghai Shenhua. Renowned media personality Xu Jiang, when answering fan questions, said, "The red team is fine; I don't know about the blue…

As the curtain is about to rise on the 2025 Chinese Super League (CSL), the three giants of Beijing Guoan, Shanghai Shenhua, and Shanghai Port have all completed their first warm-up matches, each showcasing their unique strengths. Beijing Guoan has displayed impressive offensive firepower in their warm-up matches. Despite the absence of eight national team players, they continue to dominate on the field. In their first warm-up match against Changchun Yatai, who they defeated 8-1 last season, Guoan showed no signs of complacency and secured another victory with a 2-0 score. They also triumphed over a China League One team with a 4-2 victory. In these two matches alone, Guoan has scored six goals, demonstrating their formidable attacking prowess. As the saying goes, "Offense is the best defense." Guoan, despite their incomplete lineup, relies on their strong offense to exert immense pressure on opponents and instill hope for the future among fans. Currently, Guoan's foreign players are not yet fully assembled, but with the return of the eight national team players and the anticipated arrival of Dawan, if foreign players from the Spanish La Liga can also join successfully, Guoan's strength will be further enhanced, truly taking off and becoming an undeniable force in the CSL. Shanghai Shenhua, on the other hand, has adopted a relatively relaxed strategy in their warm-up matches. They faced newly promoted Dalian Yingbo, fielding five foreign players in the first half, which not only showed respect for their warm-up opponents but also highlighted their depth in squad configuration. After all, since the second half of…

On the afternoon of January 18th, Beijing time, Shanghai Shenhua played a friendly match against Dalian Yingtian, a newly promoted team in the Chinese Super League (CSL). After more than 90 minutes of competition, Shanghai Shenhua emerged victorious with a 2-0 scoreline, demonstrating their superior strength as the runners-up of the CSL. For Shanghai Shenhua, although this was just an ordinary friendly match, it brought two pleasant surprises for head coach Slavisa Jokanovic. The first pleasant surprise was the 18-year-old midfield prodigy Yang Haoyu, who had just been promoted from the Shenhua youth team. In this game, Yang Haoyu started and seized the opportunity to showcase his abilities. He did not disappoint Coach Jokanovic's trust in him. Playing in midfield, he focused on interceptions and tackles in defense while fully utilizing his creativity in the frontcourt. He not only made several high-quality passes to the attacking line but also displayed his impressive long-range shooting skills. In the 10th minute of the game, Yang Haoyu scored a high-quality long-range shot, breaking the deadlock on the field and helping the team take an early 1-0 lead. At such a young age, Yang Haoyu possesses extraordinary football skills, which undoubtedly impressed Coach Jokanovic. Based on this performance alone, Yang Haoyu is expected to receive special attention and training from Jokanovic in the new season. The second pleasant discovery for Shanghai Shenhua was former naturalized national player Dai Weijun. After the end of his loan period with Shenzhen FC, Dai Weijun returned to the Shanghai Shenhua squad. However, it remains uncertain whether he will…

Shanghai Shenhua head coach Slutzky arranged a friendly match against Dalian Yingbo to test the team's training results during this period. In this match, Shenhua's ace player Dai Weijun performed well, scoring an impressive goal in the second half after receiving an assist from veteran Yu Hanchao. Dai Weijun's excellent performance helped Shenhua secure a 2-0 victory over their opponents, impressing many fans who believe he has a bright future. As we all know, since joining Shenhua in the summer transfer window of the 2023 Chinese Super League season, Dai Weijun has not been able to demonstrate his full potential in matches. Prior to joining Shenhua, Dai Weijun had a salary dispute with his former club Shenzhen, which led to him not being allowed to play for them. Without systematic training and competition for more than half a year, his form was significantly affected. Under these circumstances, after joining Shenhua, Dai Weijun struggled to find his rhythm in matches. Last season, he experienced a career low point at Shenhua, which was disappointing for many fans. Fortunately, after being loaned to Shenzhen Xinpengcheng, he delivered commendable performances. Shenzhen Xinpengcheng's successful relegation survival in the last round of the league was directly related to Dai Weijun's outstanding contributions. Seeing Dai Weijun perform so well at Shenzhen, Shenhua eagerly recalled him. At the same time, Shenhua head coach Slutzky gave Dai Weijun the opportunity to represent the team in friendly matches. The saying "Opportunities are for those who are prepared" applies perfectly to Dai Weijun. When representing Shenhua in matches, he repaid the…

On January 18 at 15:30, Dalian Yibo faced Shanghai Shenhua in a friendly match. All five foreign players of Dalian Yibo were present and participated in training. Considering the short time since the players joined the team and the need to evaluate them, only one foreign player, Kalanga, was fielded in the starting lineup for Dalian Yibo. The national team players of Shanghai Shenhua have returned to training but did not participate in the match, while five foreign players including Myniro and Teixeira started the game. On the Dalian side, Xiao Wen faced his former team, with players such as Jin Pengxiang, Lv Peng, Sun Bo, Lv Zhuoyi, and Yang Mingrui in the starting lineup. The son of Dalian Yibo's investor, Wang Yingwei, live-streamed the match, which was the team's first real confrontation with a Super League team after their promotion. As a title-contending team, Shanghai Shenhua showed no mercy from the start, adopting an aggressive pressing tactic with a fast pace that caught Dalian Yibo off guard. Early in the game, Kalanga had a one-on-one opportunity but failed to capitalize on it. Shortly after, Shenhua launched a counterattack with Yang Haoyu scoring the first goal, putting Dalian Yibo behind 0-1 early on. Coach Li Guoxu is also adapting to playing against Super League teams, constantly shouting instructions to his players on the sidelines. Dalian Yibo also had attacking opportunities, with Kalanga once again finding himself in a one-on-one situation, only to be denied by the goalkeeper. After winter training, Kalanga's physical condition and stamina are good, but his finishing…

The flames of the new season's Chinese Super League have yet to be ignited, but the transfer market is already shrouded in smoke. The top teams are preparing themselves with great effort for the upcoming season, and among them, the actions of Shanghai Shenhua, Shanghai Port, and Shandong Luneng undoubtedly capture the hearts of the fans. Shanghai Shenhua has taken the lead in the transfer market, officially announcing four signings, all of which are foreign players from the newly promoted team in the Brazilian Serie A. This move is considered to be a keen eye, as the Brazilian league is known for its tough style and delicate technique. It is believed that the strength of these players is remarkable. These four signings are like reinforcing the deck and updating the weapons of a warship about to set sail, basically completing the strengthening of the lineup. In the past few seasons, Shenhua's performance has been up and down, with both bright moments and low points. By introducing foreign players from Brazil, the team clearly wants to reshape its glory in the new season. The arrival of these new players can not only enhance the team's strength but also bring different tactical styles and football concepts. Whether they can quickly integrate into the team and create a chemical reaction with existing players will be the key to Shenhua's performance in the new season. Fans are eager to see the new players galloping on the field, capturing cities and fortresses for Shenhua, and reviving their former glory. Shanghai Port is also not to…

Recently, an important news has emerged in the Chinese Super League (CSL), as Korean central defender and star player Park Ji-soo of Wuhan Three Towns has officially returned to the team for winter training. This news not only delighted the fans of Wuhan Three Towns but also laid a significant foundation for the team's defensive lineup in the new season. Prior to this, there had been much speculation about Park Ji-soo's future. With Wuhan Three Towns facing severe wage arrears, many believed that this capable central defender might choose to leave. Some media even reported that he could potentially join Shanghai Shenhua, which caused concern among many fans. However, according to data from Transfermarkt, Park Ji-soo still has one year left on his contract with Wuhan Three Towns, and his return is essentially fulfilling his existing contractual obligations. Reflecting on Park Ji-soo's joining process with Wuhan Three Towns, it is evident that the club highly values this South Korean international. To attract Park Ji-soo, Wuhan Three Towns offered him a top salary contract of 1.5 million euros after tax, which was quite competitive at the time in the CSL. This investment paid off as Park Ji-soo quickly demonstrated his abilities and value after joining the team. In last season's matches, Park Ji-soo became the undisputed pillar of Wuhan Three Towns' defense. Whenever the team's defense faced danger, he could always rely on his rich experience and excellent defensive awareness to defuse crises. It was under his steadfastness that Wuhan Three Towns' defense appeared particularly solid, ultimately helping the team secure…

The final outlook for the 2025 Chinese Super League is taking shape, with the strength of each team largely settled and the situation in each division becoming increasingly clear. Fans are eagerly anticipating the championship race, the battle for AFC Champions League spots, and the relegation struggles, so let's analyze the current state and potential directions for each team! I. Championship Contenders: Peak Showdown, Championship Foundation Steady Shanghai Shenhua As a core contender for the title, Shenhua has a relatively stable lineup, mature tactics, and good chemistry among players. The addition of players like Mineluo and Li Ke has further enhanced their overall strength. As long as they avoid injury issues, they are likely to secure the championship trophy early. Beijing Guoan Guoan boasts an impressive domestic player pool and strong performances from Serbian foreign aid, giving them an excellent front line. However, instability in their defense is their biggest concern, and there is still a lack of chemistry between the coach and the players. Nonetheless, the possibility of bringing in another big-name foreign player adds a touch of suspense to their title pursuit. Chengdu Rongcheng As a rising force in recent years, Rongcheng has highly competitive foreign aid and is gradually strengthening its domestic support in the backline. However, their thin overall squad and the challenge of facing strong teams for the first time may make them slightly inferior in the championship race. II. AFC Champions League Contenders: Undercurrents Stirring, Clear Differences Shandong Taishan Despite the ups and downs of last season, Shandong remains one of the top teams…
