In the CFA Super Cup final, which ended on the evening of April 8 Beijing time, last season's Chinese Super League champions Wuhan Sanzhen defeated Shandong Taishan 2-0, winning the Super Cup for the first time in the team's history. After the match, many media personalities also discussed the renewed duel between the two strongest teams in the Chinese league. Many celebrities bemoaned the fact that the three towns were a "replica of Evergrande", but also said that Taishan's performance was worse than last year.

Wuhan's three towns are more mature than last season. Wei Shihao and Aziz could be considered seamless and really blended well. They actually sped up the offense of the three towns and were sharper than when Malcolm was there. The addition of more Guangzhou players adds to the team's championship DNA. Pedro is overly mature with the team and the technical and tactical implementation is spot on as always.

It's not about how good the Wuhan Sanzhen players are, it's more like a team, even if Malcolm left. Shandong Taishan's problems don't come from the players and really should work hard on technique and tactics.
Media personality Miao Yuan
Tri-Town's offense is more efficient and the Super Bowl champions are living up to their name. Last season is well and truly behind us, and a new season will be ushered in next week! Unfortunately, I didn't see the little motorcycle. He may not be fit enough, or is he kept for Shenhua as the odd man out? We'll find out soon enough how much fight Motorcycle has left in him.

Summary:1. It's really good to have a game with fans, it feels like soccer is back.2. Tri-Town's counterattacks are as strong as ever, and with the increased thickness of their squad, they will still be competitive this season.3. Tarzan's poor objective (Cressan's suspension) and subjective (decreasing ability to control the ball in a fast-paced manner, and too many turnovers) performances are a wake-up call for the league.
Media personality Feng Zhen
Tarzan is so bad, no sharpness and the foreigners are a bit of a joke. Sanzhen has too many explosions and no hope of defending the title.
Reporter Jia Yanfeng
The Super Bowl was very exciting. Although both teams did not have pass and control, they still had their own great performance. Compared to Taishan, Wuhan Sanzhen's tactical play was much clearer. With Stanchu at the center and his dispatching, counterattacking with Wei Shihao's speed. Taishan used their impact to try and score goals by playing high up the pitch, but the frequency and pace didn't pose much of a threat to Sanzhen. Fellaini was better when he came on.
Media personality Xu Jiang
Wuhan Sanzhen 2-0 Shandong, summed up in one sentence, a match between a middle-aged boy and a middle-aged uncle.
Reporter Zhao Yu
Wuhan Sanzhen is equal to Evergrande's replica, with a lot of pressing and aggression. Stancho is so consistent and one of the best midfielders in the Chinese Super League. They are stronger this season than last and the champions are popular. Will the ports of Oscar and Wu Lei be the biggest competitors? Guoan has to work hard and hasn't found their best form, at least from a warm-up point of view.
