Homegrown players power up as Chinese Super League feasts on goals in first game of new season
German transfer market network data show that the total value of the new season of the Chinese Super League is 152 million euros, ranked sixth in Asia, only half of the Saudi professional league, foreign aid accounted for 11.5% (62 people), a significant reduction from the previous.
Affected by the epidemic and financial factors, the first phase of the new Chinese Super League season, Guangzhou, Hebei and Dalian people will play with a full Chinese class. Guangzhou City and Shanghai seaport foreign aid has not yet returned to the team, the first few rounds of matches can only be a full Chinese class lineup debut. From "gold dollar soccer" to "small cost soccer", the Chinese Super League began to rely more on local players.
In the first round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), nine matches produced 23 goals, 12 of which were scored by local players, with Changchun Yatai's Tan Long scoring three goals. 00-year-old players Zhu Chenjie and Bugra Khan scored goals for Shanghai Shenhua and Cangzhou Lions to win.
Although the number of goals scored in the first round has decreased compared to last season, foreign aiders still play a key role. Shandong Taishan's Jadason scored to help the team win the opening game, Changchun Yatai's Eric assisted Tan Long to open the first record, Shenzhen's Achim Peng scored twice, and Cangzhou Lions' Oscar assisted Bugrakhan and scored a penalty to seal the win.
With the change in the thinking of the Chinese Super League selection of foreign aid, the pursuit of "good value for money" foreign aid can still affect the game situation.
