After the introduction of Elkson, the strength of the team became very strong. Once became the best team in Asia, averaging more than 3 goals per game. But the whole team became Elkson's solo show. When Shanghai was in the top 8, it eliminated its rival Suning. This was also reported by netizens as shady. On the contrary, Evergrande is much more aboveboard. Lippi led the team and Evergrande won the AFC Champions League for the first time. Every one is obvious to all.
Although the quality of players in Hong Kong is also very high, almost all of them play football by themselves, and there is no cooperation between them. When I played against Japan in Shanghai, my team members were well configured, but they were held back by Japan in cooperation. Evergrande can abuse the Japanese team at will, and the gap can be imagined.
In terms of player quality, Shanghai is not as good as Evergrande. As for defenders, there are Shi Ke, He Chang and others in Shanghai, while there are Feng Xiaoting, Li and others in Guangzhou Evergrande. Evergrande has a stronger defense line. There are top players like Mei Fang on the bench, and their strength should not be underestimated.
All the teams in Shanghai are impetuous and strong, but they have never won the championship. The Shanghai team did not have Evergrande's heart in the competition. The whole team played casually. Before the final, it has been extended to how to eliminate Real Madrid. It is impossible to achieve good results in such an unreliable game.
One or two wins and losses don't mean anything. If Shanghai can reorganize the atmosphere and strengthen communication and cooperation among players, Shanghai will become a strong team.
