The loss of one goal in the first round forced Shanghai to score more than two goals in the second round, and at the same time, it was necessary to prevent Shanghai Shenhua from scoring away goals, otherwise it would be more difficult for Shanghai to make a comeback. For coach boas, the first round of tactical play proved to be a failure, and the next round can't be repeated. There must be new changes to open the gap and open the door to victory in the face of Shanghai Shenhua's tough defense.
As the Super League lost to Guangzhou Evergrande, the semi-final of the AFC Champions League was eliminated by the Japanese team Puhe Red Diamond. Shanghai, which was originally competing for the championship in the third line, only had the opportunity to compete for the FA Cup this season. It is worth mentioning that for coach boas, the contract signed with the club at the beginning of the season requires him to lead the team to win at least one championship, so winning the FA Cup is related to whether he still has a chance to stay.
Compared with the FA Cup champion, it is a life-saving straw for boas, and this champion is also the first step for the Shanghai club to win the championship. Therefore, in order to motivate the team to win the championship, they are also willing to take out the championship bonus. According to reporter Xu Jiang's microblog, "There is a folk saying, a hundred million yuan prize! As long as you win a championship, it's 100 million. A main player can get 5 million! The heaviest prize in history! "
