Shanghai Shenhua suffered a 0-2 loss to Shanghai SIPG in the Shanghai derby.

What led to Shenhua's defeat?

Shenhua's defeat was mainly due to Slutzki's player selection issues, with Chen Jin and Manaafa's position adjustments leading to vulnerabilities in the team's defense. Slutzki moved Chen Jin to the middle, and Manaafa from the right to the left, resulting in a significant impact on the team's attack and defense.

Why did Slutzki make such adjustments?

Slutzki's adjustments may have been due to his trust in these players or being blinded by the 4-1 comeback win in the FA Cup.

What's next for Shenhua?

Shenhua is currently ranked 5th from the bottom in the standings, only 5 points away from the relegation zone. If the team's slump continues, they may face even greater challenges. Fans have questioned Slutzki's player selection, believing he should have made adjustments during the halftime break.

What is the team's next step?

The team needs to find a solution to their problems as soon as possible, or they may face even greater challenges. Slutzki needs to re-evaluate the team's tactics and find the most suitable lineup and strategy to lead the team out of trouble.
