The football world has been on high speed the past few weeks as several teams have made significant changes and progress towards the top of their league standings. However, one team that has not yet reached its peak performance is Shanghai Shenhua. The Chinese Super League, which has seen some exciting matches this season, has seen a lot of changes in the team's squad and tactics.

Shanghai Shenhua led the league during the regular season but were unable to maintain their lead after the break due to various factors such as injuries, poor form, and inconsistent performances. Despite these challenges, the team still managed to finish second place in the league, which was good enough for promotion to the Premier League next year.

However, it seems that Shanghai Shenhua may struggle to remain in the top flight of the league next year. With many teams struggling to stay competitive, it will be interesting to see how they perform in the upcoming season.

In terms of Guangzhou FC, they have also faced some challenges in recent months. They struggled with injuries throughout the season and had to make difficult decisions regarding players' roles and duties. However, despite these setbacks, they still managed to qualify for the Champions League this season.

Despite their struggles, Guangzhou FC has shown a lot of potential and could potentially challenge for promotion to the Premier League next year. It remains to be seen whether they can continue to improve and reach their full potential, or if they will need to make more drastic changes to stay competitive in the league.
