Recently, in the 18th round of the Chinese Super League, the championship group Guangzhou vs Shanghai Harbor, the two sides stood at a 0-0 draw in this game, the two teams did not get too many opportunities in the game, and there was only 1 shot within the range of the goal in 90 minutes, which was very embarrassing. In the past, the confrontation between these two teams, whether it is the attendance or ratings of the scene, is a state of explosion, and even the results of the confrontation between these two teams will directly affect the ownership of the Chinese Super League champion. With the current draw between the two teams and another Shandong Taishan victory over Changchun Yatai, the attribution of the Chinese Super League champion this season is not much suspense.
According to the media ratings, the highest rating of this game is only 0.3157%, and the national ranking in the same period is only 9th, such ratings and attention show one thing, that is, such a strong duel can not attract the outside world to watch, this season's Super League ratings are really plummeting.
What you should know is that in the past few seasons, the confrontation between Guangzhou and Shanghai Harbor is often the guarantee of ratings, look at the data of the previous seasons:
In the 2017 AFC Champions League quarterfinals, the Chinese Super League civil war, Shanghai SIPG played at home against Guangzhou Evergrande, and the average rating of the first leg reached 1. 81%, which isn't the highest peak in real time. In the second leg, Guangzhou Evergrande returned home to face Shanghai SIPG, when the average rating was as high as 1. 92%；
Let's look at the ratings of these two teams in the league, in 2018, Guangzhou Evergrande played shanghai SIPG at home, and the average rating can reach 1.10%, ranking eighth in the annual domestic football competition ratings.
That is to say, in the past, Guangzhou's match against The Harbor can easily break 1% in the prime time of the evening, or even approach the rating of 2%, which is much higher than the ratings of many popular TV series or variety shows, so the confrontation between these two teams in the past is the guarantee of the ratings of the Chinese Super League.
But at present, the recent situation of the two teams is different, and there are big problems within the Guangzhou team, and the team has no foreign aid and some naturalized players. Although there is no news of salary arrears in Shanghai Harbor, the competitiveness has been significantly less than in previous seasons, and the hope of winning the championship this season is already very slim.
Coupled with the loss of superstars in the middle and super league this season, the mid-term truce for 4 months, and the park, there is no audience, so that the attention of the outside world has indeed declined significantly, and it is also very helpless.
