After the 18th round of matches, the attribution of the 2021 Chinese Super League championship finally surfaced. As Guangzhou and Shanghai Harbour exchanged white tickets, and leader Shandong Taishan scored three points in stoppage time, the balance of the championship has tilted infinitely towards Taishan.
Youngster Guo Tianyu's goal in stoppage time helped Shandong Taishan beat Changchun Yatai 2-1, and the advantage in the standings has expanded to 10 points. In the case of the league or 4 rounds, as long as the next 4 games Shandong Taishan casually wins, this season's Chinese Super League champions will be in the arms. This Sunday, Shandong Taishan will usher in the penultimate Hebei team in the championship group, that is, the next round of the league, and Taishan will have a high probability of winning the championship in advance. The biggest suspense of this season's Super League has actually surfaced at this time, after all, the team that led by 10 points in the early four rounds in history has not yet set a precedent for the championship, even if it is celebrated in advance.
Counting the first stage of the game, Shandong Taishan has won all the last 9 Chinese Super League games, especially the current round of yatai, playing an exciting last minute. Shandong Taishan, which has the strongest youth training camp in Chinese football, was ultimately made a head start by his own youth elite Guo Tianyu. Historically, Shandong Taishan youth training talents have emerged, which also allows Taishan, who is in the turbulent era of the Chinese Super League, to taste the sweet fruits of his own planting. After more than a decade of failing to turn around in Jinyuan football, Shandong Taishan once again stands at the highest point of Chinese football.
Today's Shandong Taishan, not only the lineup of foreign aid is neat, but also the local elite is enviable. Compared with the Guangzhou team, Taishan did regain the limelight of the former overlord. While locking up the Chinese Super League championship with nine consecutive wins, Shandong Taishan is also pointing to the double, and is expected to win the double for the third time in history after 1999 and 2006. Taishan's last Chinese Super League title so far happened to be in 2010, when Guangzhou Evergrande won the Chinese First Division, after which the Chinese Super League entered evergrande's seven consecutive championship era.
However, in the past four seasons, the Chinese Super League champions have changed hands frequently, first for the first time in the history of Sipg, evergrande has won back a city, and last year it was Jiangsu Suning, which was scattered in a flash in the pan. This year, the Chinese Super League champion staged the return of the king, and Taishan, who has the most historical background, has touched the championship trophy. In the past 11 years, although Shandong Taishan has long been suppressed by local tycoon teams that are not bad for money, the few old teams that have been in China's top league since professionalization have still reappeared brilliantly.
Taishan fans have long realized that their team has locked up the Chinese Super League championship in advance. The era of chaotic warfare in the Chinese Super League is absolutely positive for Taishan, and the collapse of jinyuan football has allowed them to seize the opportunity of the times when they are full of foundation and no economic crisis. At the same time that the suspense of this year's Chinese Super League championship is broken, it may be the best time for Tarzan to re-establish the dynasty.
