On October 1st at 20:00, in the second round of the 2024/25 AFC Champions Elite League, Shanghai Shenhua played an away game against Johor Darul Ta’zim of Malaysia. In the end, Shanghai Shenhua lost 0-3 to Johor Darul Ta’zim away from home.
Slutsky summarized the match during the post-match press conference: As I said before, in a competition of the level of the AFC Champions Elite League, we must be in very good physical and competitive condition to compete with high-level opponents. Unfortunately, our recent schedule has been very tight, coupled with continuous away trips, which have caused significant issues with our players’ physical condition.
The entire first half, we gave the opponent too much passing space and opportunities in defense. Although the situation improved somewhat after adjustments at halftime, we did not create any substantial goal-scoring opportunities either. This is only the second round of the AFC Champions Elite League, and I hope that in each subsequent match, we can make progress through such high-level matches.
