The Chinese Super League war is reignited, and in the last round of the league, several teams that were expected to compete for the title easily won the game. At present, Shandong Taishan still leads the league standings, followed by Shanghai Haigang and Changchun Yatai.
Although the Tarzans currently have five more league points than Harbour and Yatai, every game they take next cannot be taken lightly. Once a mistake is made, it is likely that it will be caught up or even surpassed by the harbor and Yatai teams. Therefore, the next round of matches against Beijing Guoan will be very important for the Taishan team.
The Shandong and Guoan teams, which have been rivals since the A-A era, have always been a pair of old enemies. In a history of more than 20 years, there have been too many stories between the two teams. Therefore, this focus war between Jinglu and Lu has a lot of points to watch:
Can Guoan successfully stop Taishan?
In the past many seasons, the strength of Guoan and Taishan has been between Bo Zhong, and the two teams have also won and lost each other. This season, affected by multiple factors, 5 foreign players of the National Security Team have been released from the team. Today, the only brazilian striker left in the Guoan team is Silva, who has just been introduced in the summer window. The departure of several thigh-bound foreign aides has greatly reduced the overall strength of Guoan this season.
In contrast, the Taishan team not only retained fellaini and Moises 2 foreign aides, but also signed Sun Junhao and Judsson this season, and naturalized player Delgado was also reactivated by Hao Wei recently.
In addition, the strength of Taishan's local players is also quite strong, and many internationals of Taishan in the last round of the league did not enter the starting lineup, but they still won 5-0 against Hebei. From the perspective of foreign aid and local players, the current strength of the Taishan team is far above the national security team.
Judging from the paper strength of the two teams, Taishan's victory over Guoan should not be a problem at all. However, the football is round and any outcome can be expected. In the second stage of the league last season, Guoan eliminated Shandong with a total score of 4-3 in 2 legs without being dominant.
Therefore, although the strength of the Guoan team is not as good as the Taishan team, as long as the coach Bilic's tactics are used properly and the players can adjust to the best state, Guoan is not completely without the opportunity to take points from Tarzan in this game and successfully block Tarzan's victory.
Zhang Yuning and Guo Tianyu, who are now the first local center of the national football team
Zhang Yuning and Guo Tianyu were both selected for the national team coached by Li Tie, the difference is that Zhang Yuning became the main striker of the national football team in the middle of the round of 12, while Guo Tianyu never got the opportunity to play.
However, in this season's league, Guo Tianyu's momentum is even stronger, and he has now scored 9 goals, becoming the homegrown top scorer this season.
Zhang Yuning has also performed well this season, taking on the responsibility of the team's attack with the departure of Augusto, Vieira and Bakambu. At present, Zhang Yuning has also scored 7 league goals, accurate guo Tianyu on the list of local top scorers.
It is worth mentioning that Zhang Yuning and Guo Tianyu both scored goals in the last round of the league, which proves that both are in quite good form.
This game is the first official meeting between Taishan and Guoan in this season, and the performance of Zhang Yuning and Guo Tianyu in this battle will not only determine the final outcome of the game to a large extent, but also indirectly prove who is the best local center in China at present.
Will the referee decide again on the outcome of the Battle of Jinglu
As we all know, the Shandong team has had a lot of stories with domestic referees in recent seasons, and several local referees, including Ma Ning, have also given Shandong a lot of "care".
In the 2-team match last season, it was because of a highly controversial penalty that Shandong's Guedes' goal was ruled invalid, and Guoan then used a counterattack to score a goal against Zhang Yuning, and finally reversed and eliminated Shandong.
Therefore, this time the Taishan team played against Guoan, and the referee's law enforcement scale and performance in the game also became another major attraction of this game.
