With their rescheduled match against Shandong Luneng now set for September 19, Shanghai Shenhua faces a packed calendar this month, totaling five matches. The team will first host Henan Jianye on September 10, followed by the much-anticipated local derby against Shanghai SIPG at Shanghai Stadium on September 16. Shenhua will then play the delayed fixture against Luneng before taking on Guangzhou R&F at home on September 23. Of the four league opponents this month, Henan Jianye appears to be the weakest. After suffering three straight defeats in the league, Shenhua urgently needs to secure points—especially against Jianye. However, star midfielder […]

Felix Magath, known across Europe for his grit and stubborn determination, is not one to forget a loss easily. After suffering a 1-3 defeat in the first leg, the German coach is fired up and focused on flipping the script in the return match. In his eyes, the tie is far from over. For someone like Magath—who has built his reputation on resilience and never backing down—a second-leg comeback remains a very real goal, especially on enemy ground. But for Magath, the tension runs deeper than just one loss. Shanghai Shenhua represents not only a recent defeat but also a […]

A comparison of key stats from the recent match clearly highlights the contrasting styles between Beijing Guoan and Changchun Yatai. While Beijing Guoan dominated possession and passing accuracy, it was Changchun Yatai who came away with a well-earned victory thanks to superior efficiency in front of goal. Beijing Guoan’s control of the game was evident in the numbers—they completed 485 live-ball passes compared to Yatai’s 330. This aligns with Guoan’s long-standing identity as a possession-heavy side with sharp, short passing sequences that penetrate defenses. However, once again, this technical dominance failed to translate into meaningful attacking output. Despite all their […]

As chants of “step down” echoed through Hongkou Football Stadium, the pressure on Shanghai Shenhua’s head coach Gus Poyet reached a boiling point. But is the team’s underwhelming record entirely his fault? A deeper look suggests the reality is far more complex. Since the second round of the league against Tianjin Quanjian, Poyet has struggled to field a full-strength squad as originally planned during winter training. Suspensions to Qin Sheng and Sun Shilin, along with injuries to key players like Li Jianbin, Fredy Guarín, Wang Lin, and Bai Jiajun, forced constant reshuffles. In the recent clash against Chongqing Lifan, Li […]
