On May 28th, the 10th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) will see seven exciting matches take place. It is worth mentioning that the match between Changchun Yatai and Shanghai Seaport is yet to come, which is not only related to the championship, but also affects the battle for the best scorer.
Looking back at the first 9 rounds of the tournament, the table is changing with Shanghai Harbor leading the way strongly while Changchun Yatai is also doing well. In the top scorer list, Leonardo and Wu Lei lead the way with 7 goals, Malelai and 7 others with 4 goals, and Romulo and 17 others with 3 goals. Leonardo and Wu Lei have a clear lead and are undoubtedly the biggest favorites for top scorer this season.
In comparison, the advantage of Wu Lei is more obvious. In addition to individual ability, the overall strength of the harbor should not be underestimated. Oscar and other top foreigners provide strong support for Wu Lei. In the ninth round, Oscar completed his 100th assist in the seaport team, and has helped Wu Lei 5 goals this season. Although Leonardo scored a lot of goals, but want to win the Golden Boot still need teammates to help, Changchun Yatai can continue to output, is still unknown.
In the Chinese Super League, players such as Cressan, Zhang Yuning, Mu Xiekui and Davidson have the strength to take on the top scorer. After returning from suspension, Cressan has picked up his form and is expected to compete with the top scorer. Zhang Yuning is out for the season due to injury, and players such as Yang Liyu and Wang Ziming are unstable in their scoring ability and have little hope of competing. Mu Xiekui is old and strong, with 5 goals, ranking third. Davidson's sluggish performance is related to the overall slump of Wuhan Three Town.
Offensive ability is the key to determine the top scorer. Shanghai Harbor, Chengdu Rongcheng, Changchun Yatai and other teams are full of offensive firepower. Chengdu Rongcheng's offense is spread out, with Felipe and Eckerson scoring. The local players performed brilliantly, Wu Lei led the top scorer list, Barton, Tan Long and 9 others scored 3 goals, Qingdao Hainiu Zhang Wei even contributed 3 goals as a side defender.
To summarize, Wu Lei is expected to wear the Golden Boot again with his superb ability to grasp chances and assists from foreigners. Before leaving the country, he won the top scorer of the 2018 season with 27 goals. This season, the local scorer is difficult to catch up. Today, Leonardo and Wu Lei will have a head-to-head duel, and the excitement is not to be missed!
