Make history! Shandong Taishan, the 2021 Chinese Super League champion, after being crowned with a 5-star crown, once again lifted an important championship trophy this evening: the FA Cup. As the biggest 2 champions of the Chinese Super League this season, it is also the 2 teams in the pyramid of the current Chinese Super League teams. Before the match, Both Shanhai Harbor and Shandong Taishan were eyeing the FA Cup trophy.
This season, Shanghai Harbor, as the most expensive team in the Chinese Super League, could not say that it was inevitable for the Vulcan Cup. However, it also showed the strength of nine out of ten. However, in the face of Shandong Taishan, which has been acting low-key and known as the "relegation team" of the traditional giants of the Chinese Super League, it can be said that there is no way to fight back. Now, back in the FA Cup, they need the FA Cup trophy to justify themselves. Therefore, this FA Cup has extraordinary significance for Shanghai Harbor: it is no worse than any team in the Chinese Super League.
However, this FA Cup championship trophy is equally significant for Shandong Taishan, who has just been crowned with 5 stars, even beyond the honor brought by the double crown. Because, this coronation will be Shandong Taishan Club, the third time after the professionalization of Chinese football. Once crowned successfully, Shandong Taishan will create history and become the first in history after the professionalization of Chinese football.
Looking back at the 28 years of professional football in China, before that, in the top league of Chinese professional football. Only 3 times the team has completed the feat of winning 2 doubles. In addition to Taishan in Shandong, there are also "Dalian Wanda" and "Guangzhou Evergrande" that created 2 Chinese Super League dynastic eras. As a traditional giant in the Chinese Super League, Shandong Taishan has worn a 5-star crown and has become a peak that is difficult for most Chinese Super League teams to climb.
However, in the face of Dalian Wanda and Guangzhou Evergrande, which are also 8 champions, Shandong Taishan is still somewhat "inferior". Today, he has been crowned double crown three times, successfully narrowing the gap with Dalian Wanda and Guangzhou Evergrande, and even surpassing in some aspects. Looking at it now, Dalian Wanda no longer exists, Guangzhou Evergrande has an uncertain future, and the strong Shandong Taishan is like a day in the sky. Next season, it is not excluded that it will continue to strengthen itself. In this way, the 2022 season of Shandong Taishan is still worth looking forward to, and even does not rule out becoming the creator of the next dynasty in the Chinese Super League.
