The football team Shandong was beaten by Shanghai(YAP)(Alexis 19)

Last Saturday, after my Science class, I didn’t go back to Eton Hall with my classmates immediately. I stayed in NUS because I wanted to watch a football match online. The strongest team in my Province, Shandong Luneng Taishan, fought with another strong team, Shanghai Shenhua.
I was pretty excited about this match because the match between these two teams are considered as the National Match of China. After dinner, Tan Wen and I went to Engineering Block to watch this match.
At first, my team, Luneng did a quite good job and soon after the start, we scored and made the table 1:0. I was totally excited. However, in the next 15 minutes, we failed to score although we had plenty of chances. We even hit the bar for two times. What was worse, Shandong became lazier and lazier after we scored. As the saying “Those who wastes opportunities will be punished” goes, Shanghai scored twice in less than 10 minutes just before the middle time reached. In the second half, instead of fighting for equalizing, Shandong continued to behave lazily. On the contrary, Shanghai continued to fight there way and scored another two goals in the second half. In the end, Shanghai beat Shandong by 4:1.
After the match, I was shocked. I just couldn’t accept such a result for Shandong has been considered as such a strong team that no one seem to be able to beat us. Maybe we should change our coach after this season because he has been the coach of Shandong for five years and most of his strategies have been studied by other teams. However, in my opinion, one more important thing is, we should regain our enterprise.
Today, Shandong will fight against Soul FC in the AFC Champions League. Best wishes for my Shandong Luneng Taishan!!
