As the footsteps of the approaching World Cup in Qatar become clearer and clearer, our soccer team failed to advance, but witnessed this global event as a spectator. Looking back at the beginning of the year, giving way to the stage for the world qualifiers delayed the domestic league until the end of the year to bring it to a close. International players will be fully engaged in the intense domestic tournament after the loss in the preliminaries.
The Chinese Super League (CSL), which once flourished for a while due to the gold dollar bubble, has fallen into turmoil due to a number of problems. Guangzhou, Hebei, Guangzhou and other old Chinese Super League powerhouses, due to the financial chain break, the former glory is no longer. Guangzhou, a team that has won the AFC Championship twice and the Chinese Super League title eight times, is in a relegation crisis this season after losing foreign aid, foreign coaches and strong players, and is ranked second from the bottom, which is saddening. Hebei is even at the bottom of the table with 0 wins and 0 points, a shameful record. Guangzhou, though slightly improved, is still 3 points away from the safety zone and is temporarily in the bottom three. At the end of the season, the situation is not optimistic, and the relegation suspense is mainly concentrated among these teams.
The top three and final three will compete for three spots in the Super League next season.
In the Central League, Jiangsu county-level team Kunshan FC has risen to the top. In 29 rounds of the league, the team made history with 24 wins and 5 draws, accumulating 77 points, 20 points ahead of the fourth place, and advancing to the Chinese Super League five rounds ahead of schedule! It also became the first county-level team in the history of China's top soccer league.
Kunshan FC is expected to win the season's title, setting a number of records for highest points, longest unbeaten streak and most goals scored.
The rise of Kunshan is reminiscent of the glorious moment two years ago when Jiangsu won the Chinese Super League title for the first time under the leadership of the famous Romanian manager Ola Roju. Unfortunately, after winning the title, club owner Zhang Jindong announced the dissolution of the team due to the financial difficulties of the parent club! A legend came to an end.
The move by Suning boss Zhang Dongbei was more shocking than Jiangsu's title win.
Perhaps everything is the best arrangement, Kunshan team was established only 6 years ago, with practical action for Jiangsu soccer to find dignity!
In addition to Kunshan, Jiangsu team Nantong Zhiyun is also performing well. Although 7 points behind the top of the table, but in the case of the league with 5 rounds left, has been ahead of the fourth-ranked team 13 points; such a disparity of points advantage, basically locking the super place.
In this way, Jiangsu soccer trough period, undoubtedly ushered in a strong heart.
Review Boss Zhang's move to disband a championship team on the rise! The fire of a star can start a prairie fire! Today's Kunshan and Nantong are a reflection of the struggles of Jiangsu's soccer players; they have once again accomplished something with their tenacity and tireless efforts!
Will Boss Zhang blush now? Preferring to go to court with meritorious coach Olaoluyo due to the financial situation! We should also insist on disbanding the team. Ruthless! Now, Jiangsu soccer players have used their strength to defeat the black-hearted owner who once abandoned them for personal gain.
Defeating Zibo Cuju, the Kunshan players embraced with excitement! This snapshot conjures up images of the depression and anger that Jiangsu soccer players have endured over the past two years of team disbandment.
One hundred foot pole, one step further! Now they are striding towards the Chinese Super League with their heads held high. We have reason to believe that next year's Jiangsu soccer will once again present us with excitement!
