The Chinese Super League was particularly lively on the evening of September 12. The four strong teams competing for the championship played together. Shanghai Haigang won 4-2 in Yunnan Yukun and directly topped the list, but Shenhua, Rongcheng and Guoan were immediately passive. Why has this game that can change the top position become a key turning point in the championship?
The most eye-catching point is that the competition in the number of foreign players and the explosion of local cores, there are actually signs of a gap in lineup between the two teams. The port suddenly sent 5 foreign players, and was matched with local veterans with rich experience such as Yan Junling and Zhang Linpeng. In contrast, Yunnan Yukun only had 4 foreign players. More importantly, local player Liu Ruofan was crazy in this game, creating penalty kicks and assists, and scoring two goals, one person supported the team's offense. This "foreign aid + local" model of working together, no other championship teams are now.
The gap in the other three focus games is also particularly obvious. Chengdu Rongcheng used 3 foreign players and Wei Shihao and other international players. Although he led 1-0 in the first half, it is hard to say whether he could defend his advantage and maintain the top position; Beijing Guoan only had 3 foreign players, and facing the fierce attack of Henan team's five foreign players, he only shot three times in the first half and hit the goal frame once. How can he compete for the championship if the offense is so weak? Which team do you think has the best ability to last until the championship?
The championship team has clear goals before the game, but in fact, the game is not that true. Harbour wants to end the situation where he didn't win the previous two games, Rongcheng wants to defend the top spot, Guoan and Shenhua want to get more points to put pressure on their opponents. But the actual situation is particularly difficult: Although Harbour has made a comeback, it has not won two games before, and its condition is a big hidden danger; although Rongcheng is temporarily leading in the first half, facing Changchun Yatai's counterattack, it is still hard to say whether it can not let the advantage of getting it quickly escape.
The most worrying thing is Beijing Guoan. He was suppressed by Henan team in the first half. He shot 10 times and only 3 times. He only hit 6 times and once, and his offense and defense were at a disadvantage. This kind of situation where "want to compete for the championship but cannot play at the championship level" is exactly the same as the fans' mood when watching the game, "and hope that the team will win but worry about losing." Have you ever had a moment when you support the team, both heart-wrenching and unwilling to give up?
When the harbor reached the top, Shanghai fans saw the hope of defending the team; if Chengdu fans could win, Chengdu fans could watch their team continue to lead; the performance of Guoan and Shenhua even held the hearts of many old fans.
After all, the Chinese Super League is our own league. Every time the top of the list becomes a person and every time the local players explode, it is related to our confidence in Chinese football. Liu Ruofan scored two goals in this game, does it also remind you of the expectation that "local players can also take on the burden"?
After all, this game that can change the top spot is just the beginning, not the end. Harbour is currently leading for the time being but has hidden dangers. Rongcheng, Shenhua and Guoan still have a chance to overtake, and each round of competition may change the ranking.
Which team do you think will win in the end? Is it a harbor with good momentum now, or is it a good state of Rongcheng, Shenhua and Guoan? You can tell me your thoughts in the comment section.
