The sacred cow of Shu Di, dreaming of the championship!
Just last night.
For the first time in its long history, Sichuan soccer has lifted the trophy of the Central League Championship.
On the night of October 21st, the 28th round of the Central League was in full swing, and Sichuan Jiuniu, with Rui's power, defeated Liaoning Shenyang City at home by a narrow 1-0 margin, achieving the feat of seven consecutive victories.
Immediately following the match on October 22, Qingdao West Coast shook hands with Shijiazhuang Kungfu 1-1 on the road. Shijiazhuang Kung Fu's goal in the 96th minute allowed Sichuan Jiu Niu to lock up the championship two rounds ahead of schedule with an 8-point advantage. This season's "Champion of Shu", Jiu Niu's performance is perfect.
Shijiazhuang Kung Fu Team was tenacious in equalizing, but the title went to Sichuan.
Championship, has been the Sichuan soccer dream of glory.
However, in the pursuit of the road to the championship, Sichuan soccer has been walking for a long time, but has never been able to touch.
As early as 1994, before the specialization of Chinese soccer, Sichuan soccer's best record was only the fifth place in the National Games, and that was still achieved in the 1975 and 1989 National Games in the youth category.
After entering the professional league, Sichuan soccer's dream of winning the championship is still out of reach.
In 2000, Mianyang Fungu beat Tianjin 2-0 in the final of the National Soccer League B, the first national championship in the history of Sichuan soccer.
In 2004, Sichuan Guancheng reached the final of the AFC Cup, but lost 1-2 to Shandong Luneng and finished second.
In 2007, New Sichuan Football lost to Shanghai Dongya in the China B final and finished second again.
On November 5, 2018, Sichuan Annapurna defeated Nantong Zhiyun 1-0 in the CFL B final at Rugao Stadium in Nantong, Jiangsu Province to win the CFL B title for Sichuan soccer, which is regarded as the first real national professional league title in the history of Sichuan soccer.
As for the Central League Championship, Sichuan soccer has had many brushes with it.
Chengdu Sheffield United reached the final twice, in 2007 and 2010, only to finish as runners-up.
Chengdu Rongcheng is still a long way from winning the Central League despite their successful promotion in the 2021 season.
this time
Sichuan Jiuniu topped the Chinese League One for the first time, which is more gold compared to the previous Chinese League B title.
The picture shows the microblog of Sichuan Jiuniu Football Club, which witnessed the historical moment.
But the dream of Sichuan soccer should not stop here.
With two Sichuan teams breaking into the Chinese Super League for the first time in their history, both Chengdu Rongcheng and Sichuan Jiuniu should aim higher and look forward to touching even brighter trophies in the future!
