In the latest edition of The Chinese Football Review, Moreno's defensive prowess has been praised by several authors as one of the key factors in Shanghai Shenhua's success.
Shanghai Shenhua have been consistently ranked among the best teams in China's Premier League and they have also made some significant improvements in recent seasons. One of their main strengths is their ability to defend effectively against opposition attacks.
One of the key defensive strategies that Shanghai Shenhua uses is called "No.10" which is a defensive system that combines three different types of defense: Man-Game-System (MGS), Man-Match System (MMS) and Man-Space System (MS). MGS stands for man-to-man, where the goalkeeper is responsible for covering all three wings, while MMSS is a mixture of two defensive systems: Man-Defense System (MDS) and Man-Shield System (MSS).
Shanghai Shenhua's No.10 system is based on this philosophy and it has helped them maintain their position at the top of the league table. They have won five consecutive games under the guidance of coach Chen Xueqin and their defensive record is consistent with their performance on the pitch.
However, there have been criticisms of the team's defensive tactics. Some critics argue that they do not give enough space to players who are not strong enough to cover the full width of the field. Others suggest that the team should focus more on creating goals rather than defending.
Despite these criticisms, Moreno, the manager of Shanghai Shenhua, believes that his team's defensive work ethic and commitment to excellence will see them continue to be successful in the future. He has stated that he wants his players to play with a sense of urgency and to always be ready to attack any opportunity presented to them.
Overall, Moreno's defensive work ethic and commitment to excellence have played a crucial role in helping Shanghai Shenhua achieve their current level of success. Their ability to defend effectively against opposition attacks is a testament to their hard work and determination, and they will continue to strive towards becoming even better.
