China Super League (soccer league)
The fire started again, on the 18th and 19th, Guangzhou and Suzhou, two major tournaments each lit four games. This reporter has watched eight games, but it is difficult to express his feelings. After all, this is our league and we should fully support it. However, after witnessing these eight games, I am at a loss.
European Cup is still warm, and then look at their own league, low-level, slow-paced, lack of technical and tactical competition, sleepy. Compared to the European Cup's high-intensity confrontation, the Chinese Super League seems pale and powerless. Such a tournament, how to attract eyeballs?
The heat and humidity are a test for everyone - players, coaches, referees, staff, fans - no one is immune. It is time-consuming and laborious to travel long distances, and you also have to bear the expenses. However, how to boost the morale of such a game? But the climate and schedule can't be changed, so we can only try our best to cope with it. The first round of the intensive schedule has just passed, the subsequent matches, who will still pay attention?
The Europa League came to an end with a surge in goals, with 142 goals scored in 51 matches, averaging 2.79 goals per game, the most in history. Compared to the previous edition, the number of goals and average number of goals per game have increased dramatically. However, in the eight matches of the restart of the Chinese Super League, there were very few goals scored, three of which were even 0-0 draws. Beijing Guoan, Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Harbor, the three favorites to win the title, all failed to break the deadlock, the image of the leading Chinese Super League damaged.
There is no denying that factors such as international call-ups and isolation have affected team bonding, but it is puzzling that all three teams ended in draws. European Cup 51 games, only two draws, the rest have scored. Even if the heat and humidity, European players can still be high-intensity confrontation, the Chinese super "excuse" I am afraid it is difficult to convince the public.
Ultimately, the problem with the Chinese Super League is the low level of training and the lack of attention to quality. Despite the fact that the clubs have spent a lot of money to invite many "world-class big-name" coaches, they are satisfied with the confrontation in the domestic league, failing to solve the substantive problems. Foreign aid has become a means of competition, not to improve the level.
Under the epidemic, the rules of limited investment and salary restricted the team's attraction, which led to the decline of the level of the Chinese Super League. The restart of the tournament saw Henan Songshan Dragons get their first win, and the spirit was commendable. However, as the tournament progresses, the disappointments will grow.
