The league's five-foreign-aid policy already exists in name only, with only three or four teams barely able to maintain it, multiple teams facing salary arrears and operational difficulties, and a tight schedule of one game every two days, with nine rounds of matches to be completed in 26 days ...... These factors, before the start of the 6th round of the league, had already raised fears of the

The expectations have been greatly reduced. Some fans have been lost, and those who remain are not optimistic about the quality of the matches, stating, "As long as the internationals don't get injured, it's a blessing" for the

They don't dare to expect too much if they can recreate the classic games of the past years when the great and the good faced off against each other.
However, the Guangzhou derby on the night of the 24th awakened people to the

Memory of a high quality game. The game was fast paced, the confrontations were intense, the attacking play was pleasing to the eye, the naturalized players scored great goals with great passion, the rotation of personnel by the two coaches demonstrated intelligence, and the 101 minutes of the game was played with high intensity. It was a great game, the 3-3 scoreline can't be fully summarized, and there were goals at the reading stage, which made people believe that they were in such an intensive schedule. Guangzhou were no longer the eight-time champions they once were, Guangzhou City even rotated 10 men and started with only one foreigner, with the Guilherme's coming on later, but the two teams still played one of the best matches in the league so far at this stage. Without powerful foreigners, the two teams relied on overall tactics, which demonstrated

There is greater potential.
In fact, before the Guangzhou derby, there were already teams showing quality tactics. Due to the operational crisis, Hebei only had three foreigners with the team in the tournament, but its ground game and offense were very smooth and impressed the fans. Together with their undefeated record in the first phase, they have won three, drawn two and lost two of the seven rounds of the league that have been played, and the two games that they lost were 1-2 to Beijing

All of the goals scored by the top team were penalty kicks. "Our biggest highlight was the offense was set up very fluidly, unfortunately we lacked a striker." River head coach Jong-Fu Kim said River would have been perfectly capable of achieving better results had senior center Malcolm not left the team at the last minute due to unpaid wages. Despite the partial payment of back pay, the Riverhounds are still the team that is now

The team with the worst existential crisis, who were even in danger of leaving the division due to the slow progress of the shareholding reform, had a reason for self-exile, but they played their best and remained among the league's title contenders. The reason for this is that the

The most watchable team, no less.
The examples of Guangzhou Derby and Hebei prove that, even in the face of heavy adversity, even though

The ecosystem has been turned upside down from the previous era of golden dollar soccer, we are still capable of pursuing quality games, we can still seek more aesthetically pleasing tactical combinations, and we are even able to expect more from our homegrown players.

Taishan and Guangzhou are the top two teams in Guangzhou respectively. Taishan shut out Guangzhou with Fellaini's goal in the first round of the matchup, but Guangzhou's offense has opened up since the start of the second stage. In the three rounds of the league from the 6th to the 8th rounds, both teams won 2 and drew 1, but Guangzhou scored 12 goals, showing an amazing attacking power. The two teams are separated by 3 points in the table, limiting and chasing will make this a very exciting competition. Beijing

The Shanghai Harbor, this time the Shanghai Derby, should be able to play a more exciting than the Guangzhou Derby big match, 1-1 obviously can not satisfy the fans.
We can do better by refusing to put up a fight! It shouldn't be just a slogan; after all, we have no choice but to stand on our own two feet, and self-abandonment in the midst of adversity will only drive our league deeper and deeper into the hole.
