In the current league, 上海申花 has showcased a flexible and varied tactical approach. In the derby against Shanghai Port, the coach's strategy became the focal point. 上海申花 attempted to tear through the opponent's defense by launching attacks from both flanks, creating more offensive space.

The team's attack is centered around midfield control, with Wu Xi and Wu Qipeng effectively facilitating play and searching for opportunities. Once possession is regained, the forwards quickly push forward. Hua Yao's impact on the wing poses a significant threat to the opposition. During the match, his breakthroughs nearly disrupted the opponent's defensive setup.

For 上海申花, the biggest challenge remains maintaining a stable defense. In recent matches, their backline has occasionally appeared vulnerable, leading to unnecessary points dropped. The coach emphasizes that enhancing team cohesion and understanding is of paramount importance.
