Bassogog's injury-induced retirement has significantly weakened Shenhua's campaign, leaving the team struggling to compete in the Chinese Super League (CSL) this season.

The former Brazilian international forward suffered a serious knee injury during the CSL match against Beijing Guoan on May 26th, which ruled him out for several weeks. His absence was a major blow to Shenhua, who had been one of the top teams in the league before his injury.

Without Bassogog, Shenhua's attacking prowess has been severely compromised, making it difficult for them to create chances and score goals. The team has struggled to find their rhythm without the experienced striker, and they have only managed to win three games so far this season.

The loss of Bassogog has also affected the team's overall performance, as he is one of their key players in both attack and defense. Without him, the team has struggled to maintain a solid defensive structure, leading to conceding more goals than usual.

In addition, Bassogog's injury has also affected the morale of the team, as many fans and supporters were hoping that he would return soon. The team's coach, Jürgen Klinsmann, has acknowledged the impact of Bassogog's absence and has called upon the squad to step up and fill the void left by his departure.

Despite the challenges faced by Shenhua, the team remains hopeful that they can overcome their current difficulties and perform better in the future. They will need to work hard and make adjustments to their tactics to compensate for Bassogog's absence and continue their campaign in the CSL.
