The Chinese Super League has won three straight games in the new season, tied for top spot with fellow city side Shanghai Shenhua, and Shanghai Port did not expect such a smooth start in the season after the fall of Chen Jiayuan. I have to say that the favorite team to compete for the championship this season is definitely Shanghai Port, which has a very luxurious lineup. Especially under the premise that many giant teams have dropped the chain one after another, the Harbour team's championship may no longer have suspense.
Since the anti-corruption and anti-gang sweep in football, with the arrest of important officials of the Football Association such as Chen Jiayuan, many media people and fans believe that the Shanghai Port team will be implicated to some extent. Judging from the current situation, Shanghai Port, which was unusually low-key in the offseason, was not affected by the arrest of Chen Jiayuan's case, but was poised to take off.
From the perspective of Shanghai Port's lineup, it is definitely the only one in the Chinese Super League. The local squad is almost the configuration of the national foot, coupled with the return of Oscar, the first foreign aid in the Chinese Super League, this lineup is considered a super luxurious lineup in the AFC Champions League, let alone the Chinese Super League in China.
After poaching a head coach from Henan, Shanghai Port did make a makeover, returning to Wu Lei, who was back in the Chinese Super League from La Liga, to play the role of the team's savior. He scored the winning goal in two consecutive matches, helping Shanghai Port to win three in a row. Even, there are now fans speculating whether the Harbour team will win all or undefeated to win the championship?
In addition, although Oscar, the first foreign aid in the Chinese Super League, has no goals or assists in the first three rounds, it does not erase his help to the harbor team. With the top foreign signing in the Chinese Super League in the midfield, the Harbour team controlled the absolute initiative in the game, and it was a natural result to win the opponent.
Of course, the league has only just reached its third round, and although Shanghai Port has won all so far, the test ahead is also great. Even, after the verdict in Chen Jiayuan's case is announced, will it implicate Shanghai Port? It's still unknown. However, the three-game winning Harbour team, coupled with the in-form Wu Ball King, has already emerged as a champion and is likely to win the second Chinese Super League title in the team's history this season.
