After the news of Taishan's early victory, Zheng Zheng teased the fans in a mysterious way that there would be a surprise reveal at the moment of the trophy, sparking the curiosity of the crowd.In the afternoon of January 4, Shandong Taishan and Changchun Yatai shook hands with a score of 1-1, ending the season with 15 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss. As the game came to an end, the Chinese Super League awards ceremony opened at the Tianhe Stadium, with Fellaini and Zheng Zheng holding the Vulcan Cup, the Taishan team's championship trophy. Fellaini and Zheng Zheng, as the team captains of the season, were the obvious choices to witness Taishan's moment of glory, which has become a tradition for the team. Zheng Zheng made 19 starts and one substitute this season, playing 1,640 minutes, making him the team's fourth most played player. He scored one goal and averaged 2.6 breakaways, 1.9 interceptions and 1.7 steals. Best Forward: Sun Junhao (Shandong Taishan) Sun Junhao had an impressive season, allowing Taishan to show excellent balance in both offense and defense. Under the influence of Sun Junhao, Xu Xin's big-picture thinking has also improved significantly. Sun Junho made 20 appearances this season, subbing once and playing 1,813 minutes, making him the king of Taishan's appearances this season. He scored 4 goals and assisted 6. He averaged 2.8 steals, 1.1 interceptions, 1.1 breakthroughs, 69 passes, with a pass success rate of 91.6%; and averaged 1.5 key passes, ranking seventh among all players. It can be said that in the current Chinese Super League, Sun Junhao's performance makes Taishan fans call out that they have found a treasure. If Sun Junhao wins the Chinese Super League MVP this season, it will be the second consecutive season in which he wins the MVP of a different league. Best Forward: Yan Dinghao (Guangzhou) Born in 1998, Yan Dinghao played as a midfielder and made 20 appearances for Guangzhou this season, starting 19 times and subbing once, playing 1,575 minutes, making him the third most played player for Guangzhou this season. He scored 4 goals and assisted 6 times, second only to Oscar and Shenzhen's Jintero on the assist list. He averaged 2.8 steals, 1.1 interceptions and 1.1 breakaways; and averaged 1.4 key passes, tops among local players. According to previous news from Beijing Youth Daily, the Zhejiang boy is expected to be selected for the new national team list. Best Forward: Oscar (Shanghai Harbor) Last December 29, Shanghai Seaport beat Guangzhou City 2-1, which was not only the 500th game in the team's history, but also the 500th career game of foreign aid Oscar. As a super foreign aid, wearing the captain's armband, Oscar had his 101st assist in this match, after he had scored 50 goals for the team. In this round of matches, Oscar's play was nearly perfect, delivering 9 threatening passes throughout the match. With the restrictions of the Chinese Super League salary cap and other policies, big-name foreign aiders like Oscar, basically no longer have the opportunity to join. The Little Golden Man made 21 appearances this season, subbing once and playing 1,853 minutes, making him the Harbour's appearance king this season. He scored 5 goals and assisted on 11, once again winning the season assist title. He averaged 59.1 passes per game, with a pass success rate of 76.5%, and averaged 3 key passes per game, which ranked first among all players in the CCL. Best Forward: Fellaini (Shandong Taishan) On January 4, during the post-match award ceremony, Taishan captain Zheng Zheng and foreign aid Fellaini lifted the league championship trophy together, marking the team's return to the championship after 11 years. On December 26 last year, Shandong Taishan beat Hebei 2-0 to win the Chinese Super League title after 11 years, and it was foreigner Fellaini who scored the first goal of the game for Taishan. With the bursting of the gold dollar bubble, there are not many foreigners who can be called superstars in the Chinese Super League this season, and Fellaini is one of them. Half a year ago, he renewed his contract with Taishan on a four-year deal, with the probability that he will leave the final years of his career in China. However, Fellaini, who has a long contract in hand, does not intend to enjoy the life of "retiring to the second line" in advance, and in every dangerous moment, the huge orange figure in the penalty area is the light pointing to success. Fellaini this season in the Chinese Super League 12 starts, 8 substitutes, played 1214 minutes, scored 10 goals, high efficiency.
Best Striker: Zhang Yuning (Beijing Guoan) With Beijing Guoan's powerful foreigners out of contract and gone this season, 25-year-old Zhang Yuning had his best season, battling hard in the latter stages of the league and even starting to captain the side on the pitch. He went on to play 20 games in China this season, contributing 10 goals and 2 assists, and 12 goals by himself. In the scorer's list Zhang Yuning ranked 4th, only behind Junior, Caldecott and Aixon, and in the total number of goals and assists, there is no local player to surpass him! National player Wei Shihao has played 16 games this season, giving 6 goals and 1 assist. Guo Tianyu has the same number of goals as Zhang Yuning, but Shandong Taishan's overall strength this season is much higher than Guoan's, and the team's total of 47 goals is much higher than Guoan's 26. Zhang Yuning's assists also outnumbered Guo Tianyu's, making Zhang Yuning the best local player in the Chinese Super League this season. Best Striker: Guo Tianyu (Shandong Taishan) For a long time, domestic local strikers have seen a break in the generation, with some of them getting very little playing time due to the influx of big-name foreigners. As the tide of gold dollars recedes, Guo Tianyu's generation of players has a great opportunity to showcase themselves. Guo Tianyu's height, physical fitness, and technique are all there, but the previous play was always lower than the fans' expectations, which is related to less playing time and less experience in the game. Hao Wei gave Guo Tianyu a lot of playing time this season, and you can see that Hao Wei favors him. Guo has made 18 starts and 4 substitutions this season, playing 1575 minutes, which is the fifth most playing time for the team. He scored 10 goals this season and was honored with the local Golden Boot. 0 yellow cards and 0 red cards, with the former style of Li Xiaopeng, the head coach of the national football team. The future of this son is promising, if he can stay in the ocean for further study, he is expected to become a new generation of national football flag. Best Striker: Junior (Changchun Yatai) In the season finale, Changchun Yatai drew 1-1 with early champions Shandong Taishan and finished fourth in the league. Although Junior failed to score in the game, he still won the Chinese Super League Golden Boot for the season with 14 goals, becoming the first Chinese Super League Golden Boot winner in Yatai's history. He was a double Golden Boot winner in the AFC Champions League and K-League last season, and in his first season in the CSL, he made 14 starts, came off the bench 3 times, scored 14 goals, and collected the 2021 CSL Golden Boot. This season, Júnior scored 14 goals, including one penalty. Caldecott and Ackerson have both scored 11 goals, while Fellaini, Zhang Yuning and Guo Tianyu have each scored 10 goals. Best Coach: Hao Wei (Shandong Taishan) On January 3, the Chinese Super League (CSL) officially announced that Guangzhou FC player Zheng Zhi was selected as the best player of the 21st round of the 2021 CSL (79.1% of the votes). In this round, Zheng Zhi, who played the whole match, ran a distance of 9,134 meters and helped Guangzhou to finally beat Changchun Yatai 2-0. At a time of economic crisis for Guangzhou, Zheng Zhi stepped up to the plate and was appointed as the executive head coach, and the team's display of energy and the youthful storm triggered by the "All Chinese Class" was praiseworthy. However, given the length of time in charge and the final results, we're going to go with Hao Wei. Taishan's rise to the top this season was due to a number of factors, such as its own youth training roots, the team's foreign aid neatly, the lineup is deep, but a good hand of cards to play a lot of coaches, so Hao Wei still has a good hand. Looking back on the past, the best coach of the Chinese Super League, mostly the coach of the Chinese Super League champion team, except for the midway coaching or disciplinary suspension. Local coaches have won championships with their teams, which has not been seen for ten years in the Chinese Super League era. Achievement is proof of everything, this season's Taishan team not only has the most points, and is one of the 16 teams with the most goals (47, tied with Guangzhou for first place) and the most number of wins (15, second place Harbor and Guangzhou 13 each) with only one loss. Many fans have criticized Hao Wei as being inferior to Li Xiaopeng, which is true if we are talking about the results of the game; however, after Hao Wei led the team to win the championship this season, the best coach in the Chinese Super League is also well deserved.
