Reporter Chen Yong reported that on December 12, the first matchday of the second round of the second stage of the 2021 ping an Chinese Super League was all over, with Wuhan 4-2 Cangzhou Lions, Shanghai Shenhua 3-0 Qingdao, Dalian people 1-0 Henan Songshan Longmen, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger 1-1 Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic. 12 goals in 4 games, averaging 3 goals per game more than the average scored in previous seasons.
The second stage of the Chinese Super League returned in a state of lamentation, just before the start of the match, the championship group of Hebei and Guangzhou teams were temporarily suspended for work, the relegation group of Chongqing Liangjiang Athletics also once suspended work leave, Qingdao team also had problems before entering the division, in fact, there are more teams silently suffering from the pain of unpaid wages. This makes many people full of pessimism about the league.
In the first 4 matches on the first matchday, only 20 foreign aides appeared in total, with an average of only 2.5 foreign aides per game, of which Chongqing Liangjiang Athletics played zero foreign aid, Wuhan team 1 foreign aid appeared, Qingdao, Dalian, Cangzhou Lion, Shanghai Shenhua, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger 3 foreign aid appearances, only Henan Songshan Longmen was 4 foreign aid appearances.
In this case, I am afraid that everyone is pessimistic about the expectations of the Chinese Super League.
However, after the first match day, we unexpectedly found that even if it was only 4 games in the relegation group, its performance exceeded expectations, more precisely: the performance of the Chinese Super League teams, The Chinese Super League players and even other football practitioners such as the referees was still very positive.
First of all, all the players showed a good professional attitude, although many teams' training is not systematic, but in the game, the players generally showed a very hard professional attitude, which is very gratifying. I believe that in all future competitions, they will continue to show it. Secondly, the professionalism of the players is also good, there is no chaotic scene in 4 games, in the face of the referee's decision, the attitude of the players is also very peaceful, of course, this level of integrity needs to be further tested in subsequent games.
Again, it is also a very important point, that is, the technical and tactical content of 4 games is also there, such as the Cangzhou Lions, although they lost Muric and Akhmedov, but they played well; the Wuhan team also suddenly found a sense of anti-rebound, scoring 4 goals in one go, and they only scored 11 goals in the first 14 rounds; as for Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic, they also played a good content shortly after training; Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, which was previously known as the "Fish Belly Team", the performance was not what the fans imagined.
Even, there are world wave goals in the game, such as the world wave of Feng Jin and Vykynovac, such as the classic counterattack cooperation of Huang Zichang and Liu Yun, such as Lopez's thousand-mile single ride, and the return of the national team, Arthur Junmin, who directly sent 2 assists, and still performed well without hard work.
Finally, it is gratifying that local players no longer wait for and rely on foreign aid, Feng Jin, Huang Zichang and other players have left a deep impression on us, more importantly, the number of foreign aid has dropped sharply, but local players have not greatly reduced the technical and tactical content of the game.
Of course, behind the game there is also the hard work of the organizers, and practitioners such as referees have not grabbed the camera (which also needs to be further tested in subsequent games), and the Chinese Super League in the relegation group is not so exciting, but it has not slipped sharply, and the quiet game has some pure feelings.
"Since we came, we didn't come with the mentality of coping." Liu Dianzuo's words are probably the voice of all the team members.
He who saves himself, he who always saves. The current predicament of the Chinese Super League is caused by multiple factors, but as a practitioner in the football industry, self-help will always be an important prerequisite for Chinese football to get out of the predicament, if football practitioners do not cherish themselves and love themselves, I am afraid that the government and enterprises will abandon it. To take another simple example, if the Qingdao team is relegated, how to apply for support and resources from Qingdao City? It should be known that there are already Qingdao manatees waiting in the middle of the league, and Qingdao Youth Island may also rush the armor.
The return of the Chinese Super League, the attitude is correct, but also the result of benign interaction between all parties, such as the reform of Chongqing Liangjiang Athletics has dawned, the difficulties of the Qingdao team have aroused the attention of the governments of Shandong Province and Qingdao City, and before entering the competition area, the salary is paid, Hebei Province is also working hard, and the reform negotiations of the Guangzhou team have been going on.
Of course, all this is just the beginning, and we firmly believe that as long as this integrity and effort continues, it will not be ignored.
