In the Chinese Super League, the 100-meter race is divided into three stages: the start, the midway acceleration and the final sprint. This season's Chinese Super League is like a passionate 100-meter race, with the battle at the starting line being especially crucial. Shanghai Harbor is in second place with a narrow "1-0" advantage, while Shenhua's veteran Wu Jingui seems to maintain his "old-school" style. Under the guidance of Xu Zhengyuan, Chengdu Rongcheng have steadily climbed up the table with an undefeated record of 6 wins and 6 draws, and are currently in third place, threatening to become a powerhouse in the Chinese Super League. However, they also had an unexpected exit in the third round of the FA Cup, showing the unpredictability of the game.
Tianjin Jinmen Tigers and Changchun Yatai have been equally eye-catching this season! Yu Genwei, a leading figure in Tianjin soccer, has led his team through a metamorphosis from the brink of relegation to a stable ranking today. They have grown from a relegated team to a low-key, pragmatic, resilient and team-oriented squad. Currently, the Zim Tigers are fourth in the table, an achievement that is no coincidence. Nonetheless, their bench depth still falls short of the Shanghai duo and Shandong Taishan. This year, Tianjin Jinmen Tigers have been widely recognized by their fans. And although the Yatai team is temporarily ranked fifth, but the pressure is huge. Who will be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with Taishan after this round, and who will lag behind them, everything is still unknown.
The second stage of the Chinese Super League is a tight schedule, and the difficulty of the game increases as the temperature soars in July and August. The importance of this stage is no less than the midway acceleration in a 100-meter race, which is a tougher test of a team's strength and strategy. This year's Super League title race is full of suspense. Hong Kong is undoubtedly the favorite to win the title with their high-value players, outstanding foreign aiders and many international players. However, the situation may change if they are stopped by Beijing Guoan and Shandong Taishan in the last two rounds!
Seaport is about to face consecutive road challenges, while Taishan is sitting at home. In the 13th round, Beijing Guoan hosts Shanghai Seaport, and if Stanley continues to coach, Guoan's chances of winning are not optimistic. However, the new coach, Suarez, emphasizes on training intensity and quick transition between offense and defense, and is expected to use the home field advantage to create trouble for Seaport. Seaport has a deep bench, but if Javier makes a mistake, the situation will become critical. In the 14th round, Seaport will face Taishan. Considering the health condition of Taishan's team members, the prospect of Seaport is not clear.
Let's make a hypothetical: if Guoan and Taishan can hold off Seaport, then this season's Chinese Super League might still be a two-horse race. Double male refers to Taishan and Seaport. Although Shenhua, Chengdu, Jinmen Tigers and Yatai all have a chance in theory, more than half of the league has yet to be played, and 8 of Taishan's 12 games in July and August are at home, which is a good time for Choi Kang-hee to lead his team to grab points. After the break, September 15, the league will enter the final "sprint" stage.
All teams have dreams, and Shenhua brought in Dai Weijun to strengthen their midfield. But the difficulty factor of winning the title by a score of "1-0" will undoubtedly be higher. While the music department and champions Xiongfei are just about finished with promotion, the experience and temperament of Chengdu, Tianjin and Yatai almost certainly means that winning the AFC Champions League is more practical. If Guoan and Taishan can prevent the failure of the seaport, the most important thing for the Taishan team is to train young players, complete the promotion, and prepare for the next season "to regain everything lost".
After the departure of Hao Wei and several starters, the sky became clearer for Taishan. Choi Kang-hee led the team on the right track, strengthened the physical fitness, and trained the newcomers in the game. No one wants to see the phenomenon of "taking cards". Lennardo returns! Yatai team has Tan Long, Wang Jinxian, Sergio and Lennardo, Taishan team has Felluni, Cressan, Chen Pu, Liu Yang, Huang Zhengyu and other strong players. Choi Kang-hee will need to skillfully utilize these skill and awareness rich players. Fans.
