In the 2024 season of the Chinese Super League, as of the evening of April 10, the first five rounds of matches have all ended. A few happy and a few worried, Shanghai Shuangxiong both maintained an undefeated record, Shanghai Shenhua was a strong leader, while Henan team, Meizhou Hakka and Qingdao Manatee did not taste victory, Manatee was mired in the quagmire and scored 0 goals at the bottom.
Super League standings
At present, the top three in the standings are Shanghai Shenhua, Chengdu Rongcheng and Shanghai Port, of which Shanghai is undefeated, and Shenhua has won 5 consecutive victories. Although Shanghai Shenhua defeated Shandong Taishan 3-0 before, the real test is still to come. The next opponents are Beijing Guoan, Shanghai Port, Zhejiang and Jinmen Tigers, and Chengdu Rongcheng behind. If you can still hold the top spot after these things, then Shanghai Shenhua is really hopeful of winning the championship.
Chengdu Rongcheng was a little surprised to lose to the Cangzhou Lions, and the team has won tough battles in the past two rounds, and the team is getting better. The AFC Champions League seat in the Chinese Super League this season is to be determined, and if there are still 4 places, then Chengdu Rongcheng's hopes are very great. Shanghai Port is the defending champion of the Chinese Super League, unbeaten in the first five rounds of this season with 3 wins and 2 draws, and the away games against Beijing Guoan and Zhejiang have brought back points.
Tianjin Jinmen Tiger and Cangzhou Lions ranked fourth and fifth respectively, and the strength of Jinmen Tiger is good, but the stability is insufficient. The first half belongs to the middle and upper reaches of the team, and the key is to see whether the second half can be stabilized, and it fell behind in the back last season. Cangzhou Lions are somewhat surprising in the top five, this team will really choose foreign aid, the remaining Oscar, Zhukov have played well, and the new signings Ever and Otabor have also performed well, and the defense line is slightly insufficient.
Beijing Guoan and Shandong Taishan were squeezed out of the top five, Beijing Guoan was upset by the promoted horse Shenzhen Xinpeng City in this round, the stability of the team is indeed insufficient, it looks like the championship is yellow again, or the middle and upper reaches of the team. Shandong Taishan's basic strength is good, but there are problems within the team, and there seems to be civil strife in recent seasons. In trouble last season, Choi Kang-hee led the team to rebound strongly, but now Choi Kang-hee also looks like he wants to pick a pick.
Shenzhen new
The records of the latter teams were relatively poor, with Nantong Zhiyun, Wuhan Three Towns and Changchun Yatai all winning their first games. Changchun Yatai has been uneven recently, waiting for foreign aid to return, and it should be able to rebound to the midstream area after a few rounds. Nantong Zhiyun's own comprehensive strength is not strong enough, and he encounters injuries to foreign aid in the front line, and the second win may have to wait. The comprehensive strength of the three towns of Wuhan has declined significantly, and now two more foreign aid have been injured, and it is more difficult in the near future.
Henan, Meizhou Hakka and Qingdao Manatee all failed to get their first wins. Henan team drew Shandong Taishan in this round, the team's morale is on the rise, and it seems that the first victory of the new season is not far away. Meizhou Hakka has reduced its investment this season, and has also suffered injuries recently, and failed to win Qingdao Manatee at home in this round, and the first win may be more.
The sixth round of the Chinese Super League
Qingdao Manatee has a bad record, and the most embarrassing thing is that there are 0 goals in 5 rounds, which is really hard to say. Qingdao Manatee's offensive performance is really not good, the forward double Sha Kanggua was not very efficient last season, and the new foreign player Boakye previously played in Uzbekistan, and the goal efficiency itself is not high. Qingdao Manatee is really dangerous, and now it is the biggest relegation favorite, and it is too uncomfortable not to score, so it is really impossible to change the knife first.
