It was a duel that no one could afford to lose! On the surface, they complimented each other and were modest, but in reality, their hearts turned over and they were bound to cut their opponents down!
The focus of the battle is the upcoming Chinese Super League battle: Shandong Taishan PK Shanghai Port, a face-to-face PK between the traditional powerhouses.
Shandong Taishan play at home, occupying the right time, the right place and the right people to avoid a long trip. The team has also been in good form recently. Since Choi Kang-hee took over, the team has gone undefeated in all competitions with 5 wins and 2 draws, including a big win over Changchun Yatai in the last round, which has taken the team's fighting spirit and technical and tactical quality to a new level. At least for now, Shandong Taishan has basically gotten rid of the decadent situation at the beginning of the season and is moving towards a higher goal.
It may have been hard enough for Taishan to compete for the title, but that's the way soccer is, anything is possible. Just like last season, when they were once behind Wuhan Sanzhen, there was a huge gap in points, and eventually they miraculously caught up. Not to mention the fact that the league is not even halfway through this season. As long as you catch up, miracles are not out of reach.
But if you want to make a miracle, you have to win this round against Shanghai Harbor! There are only two matches in a league season. Facing such a huge point gap at the moment, Taishan can only go all out to win, there is no second way out.
And the purpose of this game was simple. It doesn't matter how hard or ugly the process is, the team is worth it just to get three points. I hope that's clear to the fans. (Don't chase three points, but completely press for the win. Shanghai is not a weak team.)
For Shanghai Harbor, if you want to stand out across the board, then Shandong Taishan is the opponent he must beat! The reason is simple. Taishan is one of the few perennial champions of the league over the years. They can get three points on Taishan's home court. I don't need to say anything more.
Another important reason is that if Shanghai beats Shandong Taishan and gets three points, then the team will top the halfway mark one round earlier! (This round is the 14th round, and Shenhua is currently second in Hong Kong.) Not only can he win the game, he can also win the halfway title. This temptation is undoubtedly huge for Shanghai Harbour.
And for Shandong Taishan, defeat means a complete end, an end to this season's fantasy of a championship, it's that simple and straightforward.
However, after beating Beijing Guoan in the last round, Shanghai Seaport's momentum is equally high. In addition, the defense general Zhang Linmiao had to return in this round, and Shanghai Seaport's lineup can reach the strongest state in both the front and the backcourt. Therefore, in the interview, more than one Shanghai player said:The next game will continue to work hard and try to win Shandong Taishan!
In addition, in addition to this focus of the battle, Shanghai seaport core Oscar's comments also caused great dissatisfaction among fans. Recently, the reporter interviewed Oscar how to evaluate Saudi Arabia's gold dollar soccer. Oscar bluntly said:Saudi Arabia's this kind of operation will promote the development of their own soccer, because the Chinese Super League is also operated in this way before, the level of the players has also been greatly improved.
Faced with such comments, fans can't help but troll Oscar:You just make a lot of money, that's all. Saying that Chinese players have improved a lot, don't you panic when you say that? In order to please the fans, please don't say such words against your heart. If you don't like the comment, you can leave it out.
The reason why Oscar was asked such a question is because Oscar has almost witnessed the rise and fall of Chinese soccer's gilded offensive, so he should have a deep understanding of the effects of gilded soccer. Obviously, Oscar went a little too far with this statement, and not only did he fail to please the fans, but he was also trolled.
In the era of gold-dollar soccer, the level of the Chinese Super League (CSL) has really improved a lot, such as competitiveness, influence, spectatorship, and even the Asian level, have made an unprecedented breakthrough. It all started with the addition of many international superstars, which made the Chinese Super League have a period of prosperity.
But all this has little to do with the domestic players, and all those years, not to mention progress, it was good enough for the domestic players not to regress and stay in form.
We can prove this by two points!
The first one is the FA Cup:The strength of the domestic players is very obvious when a Chinese Super League team faces a Chinese B-level or grassroots team because they can't use foreigners and can only play in a full Chinese class! Do you remember when Shanghai almost got knocked out by Suzhou Dongwu, a Chinese B-level team? At that time, Shanghai sent a lot of international players like Wu Lei, Lu Wenjun, Yan Junling and Wang Shenchao! And in the last 15 minutes of the game, Suzhou Dongwu only had 10 men fighting!
On the other hand, while club results are booming, the national soccer team's results have been on a steady, plummeting decline! Time and time again they have had exciting results against recognized weak teams such as Hong Kong, China and the Philippines, and have had to rely on the Maldives and Guam to keep up appearances. The national soccer team fell from second-rate to third-rate to fourth-rate in Asia, and was even later angrily dubbed by fans as "not good enough"! Abandoned by the world of soccer.
All of this is a result of gilt-edged soccer!
Why? Because after the big names came, the sense of responsibility of the domestic players obviously disappeared, and there was only one player on the court who played soy sauce. The first reaction after getting the ball is not to solve the problem, but to think about how to quickly give the ball to the foreign aid, so that they decide to win! There is no sense of responsibility, no problem solving ability, even if they are selected for the national soccer team, without foreign aid to support the scene, what is the difference between the national soccer team and our grassroots players?
