Shanghai Greenland Shenhua Football Club, formerly known as Shanghai Shenhua Football Club, was founded in 1993, 12, 10, which is the first professional football club in China completely separated from the government administrative mechanisms such as the Sports Commission and the Football Association. Xu Genbao, the first head coach of the club, put forward the slogan of "grabbing encirclement", trying to change the traditional situation that Shanghai football has excellent technical consciousness but suffers from physical confrontation. 1995, this move was a great success. Shenhua League won ten consecutive victories and won the league championship two rounds ahead of schedule, and a large number of famous celebrities such as Fan Zhiyi, Xie Hui, Qi Hong and Wu emerged.
From 65438 to 0997, in order to change the team's style of play, the club began to insist on hiring foreign coaches, including coaches such as lazaroni and Ilija Petkovic who led the team to the World Cup finals, and Ljupko petrovich who won the European Champions Cup. However, during this period, Shenhua failed to overwhelm Dalian, the dominant player in domestic football at that time, and finally won only four league runners-up and 1 FA Cup.
In 2002, the property right of the club was changed for the first time. Six large state-owned enterprises in Shanghai, led by Shanghai Wenguang Group, took over the club, re-hired Xu Genbao as the coach, and added young players such as Dewey, Yu Tao and Sun Xiang.
In 2003, Shenhua overwhelmed the world by one point and won the last League A championship before the league reform.
Before the start of the 2007 season, Zhu Jun, an investor of Shanghai Liancheng, another super league team, acquired Shenhua Club, merged the two teams and renamed the club Shanghai Shenhua Liansheng Football Club.
In the middle of the 2008 season, Jia Xiuquan succeeded Wu Jingui as executive coach. After the change of coach, the team played many thrilling games, including two 0-2 victories. In the final round of the league, the team took the lead twice but missed the chance to win the championship, and finally missed the championship and won the eighth runner-up in fifteen years.
After the end of the season, the club announced that Jia Xiuquan would remain in office, and recruited technical directors and general managers around the world to prepare for the 2009 League and AFC Champions League. Among them, the post of technical director appeared in China football for the first time, and was finally held by former PSV technical director and former Dutch international Folques. The general manager of the club was former Uruguayan head coach gimenez in 2007, and Shenhua became the first club in the history of China football to hire a foreign general manager.
In 2009, Shenhua continued to hire Jia Xiuquan as the head coach of the team. In terms of foreign aid, Belarusian player Viacheslav Hleb and mark milligan selected for the Australian national team were introduced. Unfortunately, the team's record has fluctuated throughout the season, always hovering between 8 and 4. Although Shenhua beat Changsha Jinde 2-/kloc-0 at home in the final round of the league, it is a pity that the points still failed to surpass Shandong Luneng, and finally it can only be ranked fifth in the league, and it will miss the AFC Champions League next season.
20 10 Shenhua hired Blazevic, a famous coach who led Croatia to the semi-finals of the World Cup, as the team coach. At the same time, a group of young players such as Wu, Feng and Song Boxuan were introduced to build a younger team. Under the leadership of Bu Shuai, Shenhua Youth Army played well all season. The first half of the league once ranked first in the standings, and finally won the third place at the end of the season, and won the qualification of 20 1 1 season AFC Champions League. At the same time, Shenhua's foreign aid striker Riascos also won the honor of top scorer of the season with 20 goals.
20 1 1, local coach Xi Zhikang became the head coach of Shenhua. At the same time, he continued the idea of last season in team building and continued to focus on cultivating young players. At the beginning of the season, Shenhua once occupied the top three in the league, relying on the excellent performance of several teenagers and the continuous goals of two foreign aid strikers. Unfortunately, Song Boxuan and Qiu Tianyi were seriously injured one after another, and the team also suffered a series of unbeaten, and the record dropped all the way. In the middle of the league, Shenhua hired Beisecker, the team assistant last season, as the coach. In the last few rounds of the league, Shenhua found its form and beat Hangzhou Greentown and Beijing Guoan at home, and finally ended the 20 1 1 season with the ranking of1.
In the 20 12 season, the club introduced many big-name stars, including French star Anelka and French coach Tigana. However, the team's record has been unsatisfactory since the start of the league. After only five rounds, Tigana was in a daze. Former Argentine national team coach sergio batista took over as head coach. In July, world-class star Drogba officially joined Shanghai Shenhua, which is the largest foreign aid introduced in the history of the Super League. The arrival of Drogba not only promoted the popularity and market of the whole Super League, but also improved Shenhua's record. In particular, the 5-/kloc-0 win over Hangzhou Greentown at home and the 2-2 draw away from Guangzhou Evergrande left a deep impression on people. In the end, Shenhua finished the 20 12 season with the ninth place in the league.
20 13 Shenhua was deducted 6 points for anti-gambling, and the club had an equity dispute and suffered an economic crisis. Under such internal and external troubles, Shenhua played a rare "Shenhua spirit" and staged an incredible reversal in many games. In the end, it was called "not to be taunted" by the outside world when it fell behind.
20 14 Greenland Group officially accepted Shanghai Shenhua, and the club was renamed Shanghai Greenland Shenhua Football Club. Due to the loss of several main players at the beginning of the year, the strength of the team was seriously affected. When the club invited Argentine Batista back, it also brought two reinforcements, Paul Enrique and Lucas, in the middle of the league. In the case of a weak lineup, he reached the semi-finals of the FA Cup and ranked ninth in the league.
20 15 Shanghai Greenland Shenhua Football Club hired a French coaching team headed by Mr. Guillaume, and also introduced domestic and foreign powerful stars such as Cahill, Papadopoulos and Wang Yun. After three consecutive victories in the league, the team fell into a trough due to injury. With the strong support of Greenland Group and the help of relevant parties in Shanghai, the club signed world-class striker Dembaba and former Liverpool midfielder Sissoko in the middle of the league, and with the concerted efforts of the club and the team's Qi Xin, the club got out of the doldrums. In the end, the team ranked sixth in the league with a record of 12 wins, 6 draws and 12 negative product of 42 points, and completed the basic goal set at the beginning of the year. In the FA Cup, the team advanced all the way to the final, and finally regretted that Jiangsu won the runner-up. In the 20 15 season, the fans' enthusiastic support and heartfelt warm encouragement to the Greenland Shenhua team will not be forgotten by everyone who applied for the Olympic Games!
