"I prefer to play football as a whole."

After 88 minutes, the score was still 0-0. When everyone thought that the Shenhua team might end up in a dull draw, Jiang Shenglong's goal was like a thunderclap on the flat ground, which made the Shanghai Stadium boiling up. This golden goal was also the 1500th goal in the official competition of Shenhua Team.

On the evening of May 15, in the 12th round of the CSL, Shanghai Shenhua Team played Qingdao Manatee Team at home. With the goals of Jiang Shenglong and Ma Lailai at the end of the game, Shenhua defeated the opponent 2-0. At present, Shenhua Team continues to lead the league table with 30 points.

In the last round of the away game against Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Shenhua Team was dumb in attack and concentrated in defense against its opponents, so it did not score when it gained momentum. After the game, Shenhua coach Slotsky also realized that the team needed to find a way to break the dense defense. However, the failure to score 3 points made Shenhua's advantage in the championship no longer obvious. Mallele's suspension and Teixeira's injury suspension are certainly the reasons for poor offensive performance, but Slotsky does not think that the lack of individual players will affect the overall tactics.

In this battle, Shenhua team has only one goal - to win the game against the second to last team in the league. In front of the powerful attack of Shenhua Team, the Hainiu Team once saw the hope of taking 1 point away from home with the tactics of defensive counterattack.

Mallele scores in front of the goal

In the whole game, Shenhua team accounted for 61% of the ball control rate, with 88 threatening attacks, while the opponent only had 32. Shenhua team shot 25 times, 10 of which were on target, while the opponent only shot 6 times, 3 of which were on target. These data are enough to reflect the strength gap between the two teams.

However, the delay in scoring made the players a little worried, and even Slotsky could not sit down in the coach seat. In the 86th minute, Yu came on as a substitute in the Han Super League. His abundant physical strength and running speed stirred the opponent's back line and also stored energy for Shenhua's attack at the last moment. Cao Yunding came on as a substitute in 91 minutes. The two veteran players worked together on the left to control the ball, like flowing clouds. In the extra time stage, Shenhua Team played a wonderful cooperation again. Ma Lailai easily pushed and shot in front of the horizontal door of the Han Super League, locking the victory for the team.

Jiang Shenglong's goal proved once again that when the team needs, anyone can stand up. Mallele's goal in front of the goal is also a sign of his recovery from injury. This game is not only a victory of 3 points for Shenhua team, but also a test of the team's strength and tactics. The tenacious tenacity enables the team to burst out energy at the last moment, and the determination not to give up also enables the team to gain more unity and cohesion, which is the quality of the real strong.

In an interview after the game, Jiang Shenglong said, "All the coaches and players insisted until the last moment, and these three points are what we must get today." A goal and an empty goal save, Jiang Shenglong was called "the hero of the team" by Slotsky. Speaking of this wonderful defense, Jiang Shenglong said: "As a guard, the opponent will not score easily, but there will be mistakes in the defense, and another person will make up for them."

Not only Jiang Shenglong, but also all the Shenhua players interviewed after the match mentioned that achievements are the joint efforts of the team, and everyone is for the collective interests of the team. Such dedication is also an essential element of a strong team.

After the game, Slotsky concluded, "It is very difficult to score goals in the face of intensive defense of the opponent. If the first goal can arrive early, we will get more space and opportunities. Breaking intensive defense is a recognized problem in world football, but I am very happy that the players did not give up in the face of difficulties, and continued to fight to the last minute and scored goals."

Teixeira will be absent for many games due to injury. For the subsequent technical and tactical deployment, Slotsky said, "In the absence of Teixeira, the team members who sent the last pass in the middle may be missing, so we chose more crosses to create opportunities. As I said before, I prefer to play football as a whole rather than rely on one or two players. Even if some important players are missing, we still go all out to ensure the quality of the game and the technical and tactical style. "

Next, Shenhua Team will welcome two away games, Henan Team and Shenzhen Team.
