As we all know, the Chinese Super League has ended and Shanghai Port finally won the second Chinese Super League title in the team's history. Of course, they were immersed in joy. It is said that Shanghai Port even held a celebration program in the past two days. Anyway, we should praise our virtues from start to finish to show that we are now the dominant team in the Chinese Super League.
However, for Chinese Super League fans, there must be no buying into Shanghai Port's championship and celebrations. The biggest reason is that Shanghai Port was eliminated from the AFC Champions League playoffs by a mid-table Thai league team, and being swept out at home by their opponents was a real loss.
In addition, the other three teams in the Chinese Super League (CSL), all won the last round of AFC Champions League group matches, severely hitting Shanghai Port's lie of giving up the AFC Champions League to protect the CSL. In the latest round of the AFC Champions League group stage, Shandong Taishan swept Incheon United 3-1 at home, realizing a double kill against the Korean league team, and even letting their opponents score a goal in the second round of extra time.
It has to be said that even though Shandong Taishan had a lot of controversies in the league, beating the South Korean side in the AFC Champions League was enough to rectify the name of the Chinese Super League and win back face for the league. On the contrary, the new Chinese Super League champions voluntarily gave up the AFC Champions League in order to ensure that the lies of the Chinese Super League champions will always be discussed by the fans.
Therefore, from Shandong Taishan's two consecutive victories in the AFC Champions League to the celebration of the Chinese Super League title, fans will naturally have the answer in their hearts as to who can represent the Chinese Super League team. For a team that is afraid to shine in the AFC Champions League, it is just a nest egg even if it dominates the local league. As fans say, they are capable of winning the AFC Champions League against teams from Japan and South Korea.
This season's Super League title must be the least gold-rich title, with many points gained through controversial penalties. Especially the AFC Champions League play-off loss at home to a Thai team that has now lost four matches, and even their own players insulted their own fans. Shanghai Harbour must be the most controversial team in the Chinese Super League.
