More and more such words are starting to appear in the 2021 season
China Super League (soccer league)
Among the contest's comments, "Watch Sleepy!" "I fell asleep!" "How come it's still 0-0 when I wake up?"
Increasingly dull games, fewer and fewer goals, more and more 0-0s, bringing less and less attention.
2021 season
China Super League (soccer league)
, is in the midst of a full-blown crisis, a crisis that is not just
China Super League (soccer league)
It's the club's withdrawal, but rather the fans' apathy.
It's time to start a home-and-away league as soon as possible, and if there aren't enough match days, even across the year's tournaments, it's necessary to start a home-and-away tournament Field Bored Two Ducks
Many years ago, when I was a child, I saw those "old journalists" article title "a boring war two duck eggs", I think it is particularly apt, like when I was even younger, the test scored 100 points, was said to be a french fries and two eggs, if the test scored 0 points, it was A duck egg and two doughnuts.
It's not a popular headline anymore, but there were a lot of games in the 2021 season that I really wanted to headline with "Two Duck Eggs in a Boring Battle".
So far.
China Super League (soccer league)
There were 5 0-0 scores in just 4 rounds of matches, and it's back in the 5th round, so it's a good thing that the match between Guangzhou City and Cangzhou Lions is not considered a bore.
Look at the data:
In the first 4 rounds of the 2021 season, there were 5 0-0 matches: Shenzhen vs Qingdao, Cangzhou vs Henan, Yatai vs Tianjin, Yatai vs Wuhan, Harbor vs Yatai.
In the first 4 rounds of the 2020 season, there were only 2 0-0 matches: Suning vs. Taishan and Chongqing vs. Qingdao.
In the first 4 rounds of the 2019 season, there were only 2 0-0 matches: Tianhai vs Hebei and Wuhan vs Henan;
It's sad isn't it, then again, looking at the goal scoring numbers, it's actually even sadder because
China Super League (soccer league)
With 2 games missing in round 5, we'll compare the first 4 rounds to past seasons:
First 4 rounds of the 2021 season, 75 total goals, 2.28 goals per game
.. The first 4 of those rounds were 27, 14, 14, 20 goals, and there were 2 rounds that averaged less than 2 goals.
First 4 rounds of 2020 season, 98 total goals, 3.06 goals per game
. This figure is more stable, for example, by 2020
China Super League (soccer league)
In Round 11, the goals per game remained at 3.07, while by the final round of Round 20, the average was at 2.82.
First 4 rounds of the 2019 season, 97 total goals, 3.03 goals per game
, and ended the season with an even higher 3.09 goals-against average.
From 3.03 in the first 4 rounds of the 2019 league season to 3.06 in the 2020 season to 2.28 this season, it's safe to say there's been a cliff drop this season.
As for goals per season, it's 3.09 for the 2019 season and 2.82 for the 2020 season, and there's still a long way to go in the season, so hopefully it's not too bad a number by the end of it.
Beyond the numbers, the intuition is the same: too many, too many games are too hard to watch, with only the occasional powerhouse matchup that manages to be slightly more informative, but it's also filled with all sorts of mistakes and all sorts of less-than-stellar performances.
For example, the current top-ranked Taishan team, head coach Hao Wei suffered accusations from fans after the 5th round of matches, while the previously ranked "
China Super League (soccer league)
Tied for second" Shenhua, head coach Choi Kang-hee was also blamed. Of course, there are many reasons for the blame, and not only poor technical and tactical performance, but these strong teams are so, not to mention the weaker teams in the game.
An epidemic, and not just an epidemic.
2021 season
China Super League (soccer league)
Why don't you look good anymore?
In fact, want to find the reason is very simple, the first point is the epidemic factor, because of the epidemic, a lot of teams of foreign aid are not normal return, so this season in the technical and tactical level of the performance of the characteristics of the very obvious: almost the vast majority of the team's attacking power are serious decline, attacking power decline, naturally, the number of goals scored to reduce.
Of the current 16 teams, I'm afraid the only ones whose attacking power can be guaranteed are Shenhua, Shenzhen and a few others, as they have relatively good lineups and neat foreigners.
The return of foreign aid in the 2021 season, there is another special case: this time, the foreign aid return is difficult because of the epidemic in Brazil, the players outside of Brazil basically returned, interestingly enough, the
China Super League (soccer league)
The introduction of foreign aid, Brazilian foreign aid is basically a striker, on the contrary, some foreign aid in the midfield and backfield are instead foreign aid from other countries, as a result of which the strikers of each team did not come back, but the foreign aid in the midfield and backfield came back very neatly. This also exacerbated
China Super League (soccer league)
The technical and tactical characteristics of each team's poor offense and strong defense.
In fact, the first 4 rounds of the 2020 season did not go well for the return of the foreigners, but that time
China Super League (soccer league)
The goal tally was a very high one, with a total of 98 goals, which actually surpassed the 97 goals scored in the 2019 season.
The other reason then is self-evident, and that is because of the salary restriction policy, big name players are gradually saying goodbye to the
China Super League (soccer league)
For example, this season said goodbye to Pelé, Hulk and other big-name foreign aid, of course, there is also because of the dissolution of Jiangsu and said goodbye to Teixeira, Eder and so on.
In the context of salary limitation, some
China Super League (soccer league)
The team also doesn't score many goals despite having five foreigners, most notably
Changchun Yatai (soccer team)
, they are one of the neatest teams in terms of outside backs, as a result, in 4 games this season, they have contributed 3 0-0 scores, with a total of only 2 goals, and of course conceding very few goals, only 1.
But in fact, the 2021 season, the big name foreign aid farewell is not the most serious situation, more big name foreign aid is still in the contract period, it will be at the end of this season and the middle of the next season to say goodbye.
That said, the 2021 season
China Super League (soccer league)
The decline in skill and tactics is by no means a coincidence, and this will get worse in the future, even if there is no more epidemic next season.
China Super League (soccer league)
The caliber of the wideouts will also be lower than this season.
Restoration of home and away is imminent
The number of goals scored alone is not enough to worry about this year, after all
China Super League (soccer league)
Suffered the "Brazilian epidemic" this special situation, next year, even if the big name foreign aid farewell, if the teams with all the foreign aid, I believe that the number of goals can still be rebounded.
China Super League (soccer league)
Here's the real dilemma: a continuous conference tournament system that brings in
China Super League (soccer league)
Declining influence.
This decline is not just on a commercial level (also known as ratings), but more importantly is actually the overall impact on the soccer level, which is the hotness of the topic of soccer among the general public.
This is really a problem with the match system: the match system allows spectators into the stadium, but really only fans from the two divisions and surrounding cities, and some of the clubs' traveling fans, which are few and far between.
Previously.
China Super League (soccer league)
The league runs through almost the entire year, every weekend
China Super League (soccer league)
games, each of which boasts as few as 10,000 to 20,000 fans, or as many as 50,000 to 60,000, with a total of 5,584,386 fans entering the stadium to watch a game over the course of a season, in the 2019 season, for example.
The 5.58 million fans are actually the "walking self-publishing media".
When they are going to the game, they will share with their friends that they are going to the game; when they are at the stadium, they will post their friends' circles, or their personal platforms; when they are done watching the game, they will get together for dinner, and they will also post their friends' circles or their personal platforms while they are at the dinner.
They radiate everyone around them all the time - whether on the road, at the stadium, in restaurants, in the circle of friends, on a variety of media platforms. Even if a person doesn't like soccer at all, he will surely receive soccer-related information in different channels.
But now, as you sit at home watching the game on your computer, with the exception of a very few self-publishing platforms, would you send a circle of friends saying that you are watching the game? Would you send a friend circle saying you are eating after watching the game?
In fact, habits are changing: in the old days, you worked Monday through Friday and watched football Friday night through Sunday night, but now, if you're not a loyal fan, you might just accidentally forget about a game for your so-called home team, or maybe you're finishing dinner with a friend and remember there's another game, at which point you might as well look at the results and forget about it.
If this state of affairs continues, you may go from being a so-called "pseudo-fan" to a soccer stranger.
From this, a return to a normal race system is very, very necessary, and of course, this needs to be co-ordinated with the epidemic prevention, but now, how many people are on the subways and buses all over the country, every day?
Of course, the soccer format needs to be determined in advance, but the way things are going, it's probably time to bring back home and away as soon as possible, and if necessary, it's all perfectly fine from the sixth round onwards.
