Shenhua, the most successful club in Chinese football history, has closed in on the Chinese Super League (CSL) title race with three matches to play.
The club, which was founded in 1994 and is based in Shaanxi province, has won the CSL five times and has also claimed the domestic cup twice. This season, Shenhua is currently sitting second in the table behind leaders Jiangsu Sainty.
The team's success can be attributed to its strong squad of players who have been together for many years. The club's manager, Lu Zhenyu, has been in charge since 2015 and has overseen several changes to the squad over the past few seasons.
One of the key players for Shenhua this season has been defender Liang Zhihao, who has been instrumental in helping the team defend their lead. The 28-year-old has been a regular starter for the club and his experience and leadership have been vital in keeping the team in contention.
Another player who has been crucial to Shenhua's success is midfielder Wang Jinbo, who has been a constant presence in the team's midfield. The 27-year-old has been a key player for the club and has helped them to maintain a high level of performance throughout the season.
With just three matches remaining in the CSL season, Shenhua will be looking to secure their place at the top of the table and continue their impressive run of form. If they can do so, it will mark another significant achievement for the club and further cement their status as one of the best teams in Chinese football.
