Title: Shenhua's Loss to CSL: The Impact of Bassogog's Injured Career and the Weaknesses of Their Weaknesses in the League
In recent weeks, Chinese football clubs have been facing significant challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on international competition. However, one club that has managed to bounce back from these setbacks is Shanghai Shenhua FC.
On September 25, Shenhua FC faced off against Chinese League Two side Guangzhou R&B SC in their first league match since the start of the season. Despite a poor performance by the home team, Shenhua managed to secure a win, thanks to a goal from Xiong Yuxin in the 84th minute.
However, this victory was not enough to quell the concerns over Shenhua's performance. On October 1, it was announced that former China national team player Zhou Dongyi had sustained injuries in his leg during training, which ruled him out for the rest of the season.
This injury setback for Zhou Dongyi could potentially be a major blow for Shenhua FC as they look to build on their strong foundation of talent and form. Without Zhou Dongyi, the team will need to rely on other players to step up and contribute to the team's success.
Furthermore, the lack of a strong goalkeeper in the squad also contributed to Shenhua's struggles. Although they were able to score goals, they struggled to maintain possession and defend effectively. This led to several costly mistakes and allowed the opposing team to easily score goals.
Another weakness in Shenhua's team is their defensive solidity. Despite having a talented team with a strong defense, they struggled to keep opponents at bay and control the game. This was evident in their recent loss to Guangzhou R&B SC, where they conceded four goals despite playing well.
The team's weaknesses in the league also extend beyond just the strength of their defense. They have struggled to establish a clear identity on the pitch, and their style of play may not appeal to all fans or supporters. This could be contributing to their inability to compete effectively in the league.
Despite these challenges, Shenhua FC remains confident in their ability to bounce back and perform well in the upcoming matches. They have a talented squad that can provide a good challenge for any opponent, and with the right approach and strategy, they should be able to turn things around soon.
