Special correspondent Gan Hui reports The absence of Teixeira and Malalai made it difficult for Slotsky to effectively operate the attack system of Shenhua. In the away game against Tianjin Jinmen Tiger last night, Slotsky tried different combinations of offensive personnel, but Shenhua failed to break the opponent's goal, and was awarded a zero for the first time since the start of this season. The two sides finally reached a 0-0 draw. As a result, Shenhua's advantage in the championship has been narrowed, and the competition for the championship has become increasingly fierce.
In the battle with Zhejiang Team, Teixeira was injured in a fight. Shenhua Club said in the injury briefing that after MRI and musculoskeletal ultrasound examination, the team medical team confirmed that Teixeira's hamstring tendon was slightly torn. However, Shenhua did not disclose Teixeira's recovery cycle, but said that "the medical team will work out the best recovery plan for him to return to the game. The specific date of Teixeira's return cannot be determined, and further judgment needs to be made by monitoring the player's recovery progress."
At the same time when Teixeira was absent due to injury, Mallele was suspended because of a red card in the last game, which made Andre, Teixeira and Mallele, the three foreign aid combinations in front of Shenhua, only one can play. So this week's preparations, Slotsky's focus is on restructuring the team's offensive end.
As expected, Slotsky replaced Teixeira who was injured and absent with Dai Weijun, and adjusted the formation from the former "4312" to "4321". Dai Weijun and Xie Pengfei formed a double front waist position, with Andre still in front.
However, the actual combat effect of this adjustment is not ideal. Under the tight defense of Jinmen Tiger, it is difficult for Shenhua to find an effective way to break the other side's defense line. Less than half a game, Slotsky changed the formation back to the team's usual "4312" this season. At halftime, he replaced Dai Weijun with Han Chao to improve the rhythm of attack.
In terms of replacement, Slotsky has a relatively fixed pattern, and he seldom adjusts his personnel at half court. Obviously, Slotsky was not satisfied with the team's attack, so it was rare for him to adjust immediately at half court. After the game, Slotsky said: "Today, we adopted a new formation. Dai Weijun and Xie Pengfei formed a double front waist. But after the first half, I adjusted to the double forward formation we had always used."
This game is the 100th anniversary of the coach Yu Genwei of Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, so the team is also the three armed forces, and has invested a lot of strength in the defense, hoping to give points to the coach to celebrate.
In this case, we can imagine the impact of the absence of Malalai and Teixeira. "Today's game was really difficult. We lost two attackers, didn't play our best on the offensive side, and didn't create many offensive opportunities. Our performance on the defensive side was still excellent, and there was no danger in front of the goal. On the offensive side of the game, we still need to make a further summary." It can be seen from Slotsky's expression after the match that he still needs to find ways to improve the team's offensive end, so as to minimize the impact of Tshela's injury stop.
Although the Shenhua Club did not inform Teixeira of the recovery time, in general, if the hamstring tendon is slightly torn, the recovery period is 4-5 weeks. However, due to the fatigue strain, the final recovery time will be different due to the different physical functions of players and other factors.
If the recovery period is estimated to be 4-5 weeks, Teixeira will basically miss the remaining matches of the league before the June interval. In addition to the battle with Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, he will probably miss the home game against Qingdao Hainiu and the away game against Henan Team and Shenzhen Xinpengcheng.
Recently, Shanghai Harbor and Beijing Guoan are in good condition, and the two teams are closely following Shenhua in the championship. After the end of this round of competition, Beijing Guoan and Haigang, one game short, both scored 24 points, only 3 points behind Shenhua. This is a very small difference. If you are not careful, you will be overtaken.
Therefore, in order to win the league championship, the matches before the end of the league at this stage are good opportunities for Shenhua to win points. However, the current injury suspension of Tshella has added a lot of uncertainties to the game. Last night against Jinmen Tiger, Shenhua exposed many problems on the offensive side, especially the speed and intensity of Shenhua's "killer mace" attack and defense conversion, which dropped significantly. "Every game is a new test. As I said earlier, we lost two main team members on the offensive side, so we reorganized the offensive personnel allocation. Today's attack intensity and speed are lower than those of the previous games, but this is not all due to the absence of individual players. "
Shortly after the second half of the visit to Tianjin Tigers, Amadou was replaced by Wang Haijian. At one time, Shenhua had only one foreign aid, Andre, and the team's foreign aid advantage almost disappeared. Shenhua can play such a strong performance this season, which is closely related to the excellent performance of foreign aid in the team. But now, Malalai, Manafa, Amadou and Teixeira have all suffered from injuries of different degrees, and Shenhua is facing the most severe test after the start of this season. If Shenhua cannot overcome this stage, it may be overtaken by its rivals in the same city in the championship, and the difficulty of winning the championship will greatly increase.
