The strongest teams, such as the Shanghai Harbor, did not perform as well as they should have, however, the defending champion Shandong Taishan, with its rich experience in the game and deep bench thickness, grabbed three points with a hard-fought win in the opening match against the promoted Zhejiang. Changchun Yatai's defensive counter-attacking tactics were even more refined, winning almost by a landslide against Guangzhou City. Wuhan Sanzhen, on the other hand, won 4-0 against Hebei, and as the team that invested the most in this winter's transfer market, Sanzhen's steady investment has brought them immediate success. It seems that Sanzhen has the ability to influence the trend of the league title this season.
At present, the three teams with outstanding strength have a common feature, that is, they have a complete foreign aid lineup. Despite the fact that the era of golden dollar soccer has passed, the

The situation of relying on foreign aid has not fundamentally changed. High-level foreign aid is still the guarantee of the team's overall strength. In contrast, in the first round of the league, the five teams that played with full Chinese classes only achieved one draw and four losses, including even the league's top team Shanghai Harbor. In the match against Wuhan Changjiang, the full Chinese team lost to the opponent with three foreign players.
Guangzhou City and Hebei were barely able to form effective counterattacks against opponents with a full complement of foreign aiders. Although Guangzhou showed a certain level of athleticism, they ultimately lost out to luck against Shenhua, who played with a single foreign aid. The only noteworthy highlight was Dalian People's team, led by Xie Hui, forcing a draw against the powerful Henan Songshan Longmen to become the first round of the
China Super League (soccer league)
The biggest highlight of the season. However, the season is long and the final competition is not only the performance of a few games, but also the depth of the team's bench and comprehensive strength. Relying on a full Chinese class to support the whole season is so difficult that it is comparable to reaching the sky.

In the league, the referee showed a total of four red cards, with players' red coloring becoming a major attraction. It is worth noting that all four red cards were awarded to homegrown players, while foreign players were not as good as their counterparts.

The Association asked the referees to be strict in enforcing the law. But in fact, this is just a misinterpretation of the matter by outsiders. Before the league kicked off, the Chinese

The Association specially invited Yao Qing, a former international referee, to explain to the media the adjustment of the FIFA penalty rules, which focuses on penalty kicks and red and yellow card penalties. According to Yao Qing's explanation, Zheng Zheng, Xu Xin and Zhang Chengdong's actions are absolutely straight red actions under the latest rules. Guo Hao's "reckless jumping towards the opponent and causing unnecessary injury to the opponent" turned two yellows into one red, which is also fully in line with the spirit of FIFA's newest rules for penalties. With the help of VAR, the four red cards were uncontroversial.
The reason for the frequent occurrence of red cards, the most fundamental or local players on the rules of soccer penalties do not understand in place. An insider told Sohu Sports on the evening of the 5th: "Many players rely entirely on experience to play soccer, that I did not kick this action hurt, the referee will not be out of the red card, in fact, they do not understand the spirit of the latest penalties. Waiting for a red card, and then will think that the referee is targeted."
