Beijing time on December 17 news, the Chinese Super League officially announced the 17th round of league referee law enforcement list, Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Harbor of the championship key showdown, Zhang Lei as the referee, this is also a 6-point showdown for the championship, the venue is Tianhe Stadium, the time is 18:00 on the 19th.
In the 16th round, Taishan defeated Guoan 2-1 and Haigang beat Guangzhou City 1-0, both teams won in two consecutive games, and the point gap was still 5 points. Since guangzhou and Yatai have not won, the situation of the Chinese Super League championship is now clearer, that is, Taishan and Haigang are directly competing. The head-to-head clash between the two teams became a watershed in the Chinese Super League title race, and if the Tarzan team defeated the harbor in the first leg, it would fully grasp the initiative.
The referee arrangement of this game is also worth paying attention to, the official news of the Chinese Super League shows that Jin Whistle Zhang Lei served as the main referee of this game, and the video assistant referee was Zhang Xiaochen. It is a 6-point showdown related to the championship, the referee's law enforcement will naturally attract more attention, I hope that in this game, the referee will not have much sense of existence, and really let the players decide the trend of the game, which is also the key decisive battle on the road to the championship between the two teams.
In terms of lineups, both teams have lost. Taishan's main player Wu Xinghan left the field injured in the match against Guoan, and the official news of the Taishan team after the game showed that Wu Xinghan was injured in his left knee and had a lot of fluid in his knee, and the specific injury still needs to wait for further examination results. Wu Xinghan's injury stop is a big loss to the Taishan team's side, he just scored twice in the game against Hebei, the offensive and defensive strength is balanced, in the case of Wu Xinghan can not play, Liu Yang, Jin Jingdao and Liu Binbin and others have to take more responsibility.
Harbor's foreign assistant Paulinho Jr. received his fourth yellow card against Guangzhou City and missed the match against Taishan, which also affected Harbor's frontcourt attack. Paulinho Jr. has provided assists in the last two games, and his cooperation with Oscar and Mooy is very tacit, and his absence will also directly affect the attacking combination of Harbor. In addition, Oscar also had an elbow attack during the game, but the referee only gave a yellow card, and there is no further news now.
For the Taishan team and the harbor, the showdown on the 19th is the final staged in advance, the Taishan team has a 5-point lead, it should be better in mentality, the harbor only has one way to win, they have no way back. It's about a 6-point or even championship-winning showdown, and hopefully the two teams can play a wonderful game, or that sentence, as long as the game is fair and just, the result will come naturally.
