Defending champions Seaport suffered a blow in the Super Cup match, and it makes sense that they lost the match with significantly less absolute chances than Shenhua. In this winter window, seaport introduced Jeonbuk striker Gustavo and Brazilian back Ruza, retained Oscar, Vargas and others, the team's fifth foreign aid is also expected to be finalized at the deadline, the strength of the foreign aid lineup is significantly stronger than last season, and relying on the team's 7 national footballers to help, the overall thickness of the lineup in the Chinese Super League since the second no one dares to say the first, the Super Bowl of the strength of the event may be a coincidence, after all, Gustavo, Jiang Guantai After all, Gustavo, Jiang Guangtai and others are missing due to injuries, but the league is long, with the support of the champion manager Muscat, they are still the biggest contender for the title this season.
However, last season, the harbor nearly overturned in the final stage, they obviously do not want to repeat the same mistake in this season, the team instability factors also need to be resolved. One is the new foreign aid play, Gustavo joined after the injury, his state can be timely recovery, after all, in Muscat's tactics, a qualified high center is a necessary element, another new aid Ruiza first game on the red, whether he can adapt to the Chinese Super League is also very important; the other is Wu Lei's play, the Asian Cup slump, the Super Bowl once again lost a single shot, has been 33 years old, whether he can maintain competitiveness or a question, Muscat will dare to take the national goal scorer? It is doubtful whether Muscat will dare to take down this international goal scorer.
Taishan is regarded as the most likely winner of this season's Chinese Super League title, such ideas may have a direct relationship with their play in the AFC Champions League, reversing the Kawasaki Frontale to advance to the last eight of the game is enough to go down in history, and in the reinforcements Taishan also found Fellaini and Moyses top replacements, Kazaishvili in the AFC Champions League written outside the back of the foot to assist similar to the Moyses, his ability to go over the top of people! He is also stronger than the latter, and fans can expect more from him in the new season. In addition, Fernando's outburst, Wu Xinghan's return, is very important for the Taishan team on the occasion of the use of people, especially the former, through the performance of the two games of the AFC Champions League, Fernando has the strength to get the Taishan team's first place, his rise, not only for the Taishan team is advantageous to the national football team, undoubtedly is also good news.
But now the biggest problem faced by Taishan team is another new Zeca's injury, the Brazilian right knee anterior cross completely fracture, I'm afraid that the majority of the year will have to recuperate from the injury, fortunately Cressan's form is not bad, Pato is also a qualified replacement, if Taishan team can bite the first half of the Super League in the first group, the summer window after the replacement of foreign aid, the second half of the season, the power is still very hopeful to be able to compete for the championship places.
As for Shenhua and Guoan two teams, Shenhua in the replacement of Wu Jingui, chose a more balanced tactics Slutsky, foreign aid introduced Portuguese Premier League scorer Andre Luiz and wingback Manafa, internal reinforcements strengthened Gao Tianyi, Xie Pengfei, etc., the effect is remarkable, in the Super Bowl of the game a powerful impact play nearly the harbor into a sieve, whether it is the attacking power of the midfield and front field or the thickness of the backfield lineup, Shenhua are Can be said to have reached the peak of recent years, if you can stabilize the play, the fight for the top three or even the impact of the title is not impossible. Guoan this side of the targeted reinforcement, the introduction of the center back Traore, they are also the only team in the new season in the Chinese Super League to play double foreign aid center back, it is clear that this is for the past few seasons Guoan defense line loopholes for the reinforcement of the other foreign aid Guga some of the meaning of the open blind box, if it can be opened to the surprise, then who can underestimate the strength of the Imperial Forest Army?
Chengdu, as a team in the first group for two consecutive years, brought in 11 players in the winter window to make a qualitative leap in the team's strength, among which the most concerned is the international footballer Wei Shihao. With no major changes in the overall tactics and players in the mid-field, coupled with Wei Shihao's assist, Chengdu is afraid that the new season is going to bring a new round of attacking storms. However, if they want to compete for the Super League title, they still lack a trace of depth, and the title spoiler seems to be the best position for Chengdu, after all, they had trampled under the feet of Harbor, Taishan, and Guoan last season.
Relegation: the new army is hardly a dark horse two teams or dangerous
The new season has not yet begun to discuss the relegation team, I am afraid that the clubs mentioned are not willing to see, the teams involved in the probability of the team is still in the middle and lower reaches of the last season, after all, these clubs have not essentially gained too much promotion, especially in Cangzhou Lions and Nantong Zhiyun most dangerous.
Cangzhou Lions now the situation is very similar to last season's Shenzhen team, stock reform setbacks, serious player turnover, the overall strength of the decline is obvious, the second half of last season, the game has been in the second half of the consecutive losses, of course, there are reasons for the unpaid wages. More difficult is that, as of the completion of this piece, Cangzhou Lions still did not lift the ban on attracting reinforcements, the team has only Oscar, Zhukov two foreign aid, Ousu transferred to join the Zhejiang team, Shkolich transferred to the Jinmen Tigers, last season's main Liu Yang, Zhao Hongliu, Li Peng, Park Shihao all left the team, the front + back almost changed a lineup, although the team also has two new foreign aid in the trial, but as many as 7 transfer ban, they can't represent the team, they can't represent the team. Although the team also has two new foreign aiders on trial, but as many as 7 transfer bans will not be solved, they will not be able to play on behalf of the team, the team's degree of difficulty is much higher than the previous two seasons, no surprise they will be the hottest team of this season's relegation, there is no one.
Another relegation favorite is Nantong Jiyun, who survived relegation last season by virtue of their schedule advantage and a bit of luck. This season, Nantong completed a major blood change, the introduction of 11 players, including as many as 4 foreign aid, the most famous is the former harbor winger Caron, the head coach of Nantong chose the club's director of youth training Mihailo as the club, as last season's coaching change of the professional, coupled with this time Mihailo's appointment, the Nantong in more than a year's time to a total of five head coach replacement, so change of the frequency of coaching is too ridiculous, the team can not be blamed for the poor performance! The team's poor performance can't be blamed on the others.
The two new Chinese Super League teams, Shenzhen New Pengcheng (formerly Sichuan Jiuniu) and Qingdao West Coast, have also attracted a lot of reinforcements, and the team's paper strength is higher than that of the Cangzhou Lions and Nantong Zhiyun mentioned above, and even worse than that of the teams in Henan, Meizhou, and so on. Sichuan Jiuniu after the success of the super relocation into the Shenzhen New Pengcheng, which is the team in order to survive had to make the choice, the team in the winter window to search for a number of former Super League power players, but also Hong Kong, China's top striker An Yongjia to join the foreign aid side of the Super League top defender Dugaliqi to cast, in the front line and the defense line have been significantly improved. Qingdao West Coast side even brought in a staggering 20 players, including 5 foreign aid + 15 internal aid, of which the naturalized player Alan is the most concerned, his status is still a mystery. However, the two promoted teams want to become the previous seasons of Zhejiang, Chengdu, such as the dark horse obviously does not match the actual, their goal positioning for relegation is more appropriate, and the operation of the two teams than Nantong and Cangzhou is more stable, the players will naturally put 100% of their energy in the game.
Unpaid wages mess still a concern
After all, paper can't hold fire, and this kind of internal agreement will always turn into a more difficult problem after repeated delays. Take last season's Cangzhou Lions as an example, the entire second half of the league, Cangzhou Lions seem to be swinging, continuous large losses, extremely abnormal, at that time the outside world there are players due to unpaid wages and thus swinging, after the team completed relegation, this situation is even more so, in fact, Cangzhou team's unpaid wages has also been a situation known to the world, as can be seen from this year's winter window, the player turnover is serious is because most players are no longer able to accept the big pie painted by the club.
Not only the Cangzhou team, Nantong Zhiyun's share reform also had problems, the team's economic situation is not ideal, even the three towns of the situation is not very optimistic, the club how to be able to live is still the most important problem in Chinese soccer in this year or even the next few years need to be solved. If you can not eradicate, the probability of light will still be staged in the situation of bad, no interest in the game, or heavy clubs will be dissolved and disappeared.
Referee's penalty scale + FA's credibility draws attention
Finally, the new season referee enforcement scale has also been very high attention, after all, the previous two seasons, the Super League referee problems and the FA's punishment is the end of the season after the key discussion object. Previously, the CFA announced the new season of the Chinese Super League 46 people referee list, Ma Ning, Fu Ming, Mai Maiti Jiang and others in the list, Shi Zhenlu and Wang Zhe because of overage, no longer serve as a referee in the Chinese Super League. From this list can be seen, Manning, Fu Ming and others are still the backbone of the force, but these two seasons the emergence of young referees, such as Mai Mai Tijiang will also be in the work of the heavy responsibility.
