The second round of the Shanghai Derby this season will kick off tomorrow. Head coaches of Shenhua and Haigang teams Wu Jingui and Leko each attended the pre-match press conference.
In the first round of the derby this season, Bassogo opened the scoring for Shenhua
This season's Shanghai Derby is different from the past. Shenhua, which was slightly inferior in previous seasons, has made a good start this season. It currently has 5 wins and 1 draw, ranking second in the standings. As for Haigang, due to various factors, the team is in poor condition. It currently has 3 wins and 3 losses, ranking in the middle of the league. In this regard, Wu Jingui said that he would not neglect: "We are ready to play a difficult game, and we will also try our best to adjust the team's mentality and emotions, and devote ourselves to this game. The team attaches great importance to this game. "
Lecco said that compared with the first round of the derby, the current situation of the Harbor team has improved: "(Compared with the first match) we will definitely have some improvement in the game. A better state, but for the Harbor team to truly return to its strongest strength, we must wait until all the players and staff are present, then we may be able to discuss this issue." Leko also confirmed. , Xu Xin, who scored 1 goal in the last round, will not be able to play due to leg discomfort.
Li Haixin
After the current six rounds of games, Shenhua has only conceded 3 goals and is the best defensive team in the Chinese Super League. When answering this question, Wu Jingui praised the performance of goalkeeper and Ma Zhen: "Our three lines will participate in defense and create difficulties for the opponent's offense; our game is more targeted, especially when the opponent's offensive line has strong players." "We also have a young and outstanding goalkeeper, and everyone will feel at ease with him."
In addition, Li Haixin will be the referee of tomorrow's derby. He used to enforce the law in the Haikou Division, but this time he was urgently transferred to Dalian by the Football Association to enforce the Shanghai Derby. Last season, he officiated two games when Shenhua lost 0-1 to Changchun Yatai and lost 2-4 to Beijing Guoan. After losing to Yatai, Shenhua submitted a complaint to the Football Association. However, losing to Guoan made Shenhua fall into the relegation group.
