With Shandong Taishan beating Hebei 5-0, the 15th round of the Chinese Super League has all ended. In this round of the league, except for Dalian Renren's 1-0 defeat of Songshan Longmen team, the results of the other 7 games are expected by many fans.
Due to the special circumstances of this year, the situation of most Chinese Super League clubs is not very optimistic, and it is not easy to survive until next season, so the relegation team's matches seem to be more cruel, but the attention is not too high. Therefore, the champions group of several teams who will be able to laugh to the end, to win this season's league championship has become the biggest attraction of the current Chinese Super League.
Judging from the actual situation of the teams in the current championship group, there are only 3 teams with the most hope of winning the championship at present, namely: Shandong Taishan, Shanghai Haigang and Changchun Yatai.
In this round of the league, these 3 teams also defeated their respective opponents without suspense. Among them, the well-organized Shandong Taishan team won 5-0 against the desireless Hebei team, and the Taishan team is still at the top of the league table with 36 points.
The Harbour team, which has three foreign players in the midfield, Oscar, Paulinho and Mooy, also defeated the newly promoted local tycoon Shenzhen in the Chinese Super League 3-1. In addition, this season's league dark horse Changchun Yatai team also beat Guangzhou City 2-0, this game Yatai 4 foreign aides all started, defeating the opponent is completely reasonable. These two wins brought Both Harbour and Yatai to 31 league points, continuing to closely follow Tarzan in the standings.
The match between Beijing Guoan and Guangzhou became a "rookie pecking" game because the big-name foreign aides of the two teams and naturalized players were either terminated or unable to play, and finally the Guoan team relied on Zhang Yuning's header to break the goal and win Guangzhou 1-0.
Judging from the course of this game, these two former Chinese Super League giants have completely lost the ability to compete for the title. For the Guoan team, they have some luck in being able to enter the championship group this season.
In the first stage of the Chinese Super League, Guangzhou's league points were originally second only to Shandong Taishan's, and it was the biggest opponent of Taishan's championship in the second stage of the league, but due to the serious financial situation of the club's parent company, several naturalized players of the Guangzhou team have terminated their contracts with the club. Coupled with the absence of several local players for various reasons, Guangzhou had to use a large number of U23 players.
After a small loss to Guoan by 1 goal, guangzhou, which played in the all-China class, has dropped to 5th in the league ranking. Under such circumstances, the competition for the title this season is only theoretically possible.
The other two losing teams, Hebei and Shenzhen, have also lost the possibility of competing for the title. Therefore, in the current championship group, Guangzhou, Guoan, Shenzhen, Guangzhou City and Hebei teams can only be regarded as "accompanying runners" of Taishan, Haigang and Yatai 3 teams on the road to the championship. Of course, the outcome of their match against these 3 teams will also largely determine the final league title battle pattern of the season.
It is also worth mentioning that after defeating Qingdao 3-0 in this round of the league, Shanghai Shenhua rose to 6th place in the league table with 25 points, even surpassing the three teams in the championship group. However, due to the failure to enter the championship group after the end of the first stage of the league, even if the Shenhua team won eight consecutive victories in the second stage of the league, they have not won the league championship this season.
Judging from the current league points situation, the current championship pattern of the Chinese Super League has become clearer, and Taishan is undoubtedly the hottest team to win the championship. However, the match against the two title rivals Harbor and Yatai is still very critical, and once they cannot score enough points in the first four rounds of the second stage of the league, Taishan still has the possibility of being overtaken by Harbor and Yatai.
Therefore, the pressure on Taishan coach Hao Wei is still very large, and he must be fully prepared for every next game, and the state of the players and injuries will directly affect whether Taishan can win the championship this season.
