Media Commentator Reviews the First Half of the CSL Match: Shanghai Shenhua Feels the Pressure, New Pengcheng Performs Well Away

In the 29th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Shanghai Shenhua faced Shenzhen New Pengcheng at home. This match was crucial for both teams, with Shenhua aiming to secure 3 points to maintain their advantage in the title race, and Shenzhen New Pengcheng needing a win to escape the relegation zone.

At halftime, neither side managed to create many threats, and the game remained 0-0.

Commentator Xu Jiang remarked, “This game for Shenhua feels really tough. If Yu HanChao can’t save the day, I feel like they won’t be able to break through! The wingers are playing as if they’re wearing safety gloves, no one dares to attempt a breakthrough. It’s too hard to play against such a solid defense!”

Commentator Du Liyan praised Shenzhen New Pengcheng’s performance: “Shanghai Shenhua vs. Shenzhen New Pengcheng. Despite Bai Helamu not starting, Shenzhen New Pengcheng performed well in the first half away from home. However, with their relegation rivals Meizhou Kejia currently leading, a draw or loss for Shenzhen New Pengcheng could likely result in them dropping into the relegation zone.”

Shenhua’s team reporter Gan Hui commented, “Shenhua’s performance in the first half was not ideal; it seems the players are under a lot of pressure. Let’s see how the coach adjusts during the halftime break.”

Commentator “1984 Feng Zhen” added, “Shenhua lacked rhythm in the first half. In contrast, Shenzhen played calmly. Now that Nantong is losing, the possibility of Shenzhen securing 3 points in the final round at home is higher, so they might be more relaxed in the second half. It all depends on whether Shenhua can perform strongly. ​​​”
