China Super League (soccer league)
The league is in full swing, entering the first round of the second stage, the focus of the battle is Beijing
national security
Against Guangzhou. Despite Guangzhou's 0-1 defeat, however, the match undoubtedly demonstrated to the world the strength of the All China Class they advocate, even surpassing Li Tie's coaching of the
national soccer team
Despite the fact that both teams have basically given up on the title race this season due to a number of factors, the game was exceptionally exciting. Guangzhou, in particular, put on an eye-catching performance and seemed to have the potential to win the title. Facing Guoan's powerful lineup - a foreigner plus six internationals - the young Guangzhou team played with ease and rhythm.
Maybe it's because of the long unpaid salaries, or the fact that the former kings have fallen from grace, but the players are harboring a strong desire to prove to the world that they are still the kings. Or perhaps it was the young players, who had rarely had the chance to play before, who finally had their moment to show off. Although Guangzhou team is young, but the game calmly, always in accordance with their own rhythm, even if they are behind, but not impatient, to the conduction of the main, if not for the attacking end of the players shooting technology is slightly inferior, I am afraid that the victory is still not known.
Sometimes I can't help but think how great it would be if the second phase of the Chinese Super League could have more rounds. That way, young players like the Guangzhou team could have more chances to play, and even if the opponents' strength has declined, at least they could compete with the first team, which would undoubtedly benefit the young players a lot.
However, time cannot be turned back and such an opportunity will not come again. I hope this group of young players will cherish the opportunity before them, and likewise, the teams should cherish the hard-won opportunities now and give their best.
There is a feeling that the current environment and opportunities seem to be thanks to the neutral name policy and salary limitation measures initially implemented by the FA. One can only say that whether it is a curse or a blessing is anyone's guess. Hopefully, the present situation will be exchanged for a stronger future.
All in all, this game gave us hope for Chinese soccer.
