The 11th round of the Chinese Super League ended smoothly, and in terms of scorers, local brother Wu Lei continued to lead with 12 goals, two players from Shanghai Port occupied the top three, and there were only 4 local players in the top 20 scorers.
In this round of the match with Changchun Yatai, Wu Lei scored twice to help SIPG beat the opponent 5-2, and his season goal tally has also increased to 12, continuing to lead the scorer list, and Wu Lei is also the only player to reach double digits in goals so far this season. You must know that Wu Lei's 12 goals took only 10 games, and this goal efficiency is unique.
It is worth noting that SIPG also has an efficient goalscorer, and that is Gustavo, a new signing who joined the team this season. In the last round, he scored two goals like Wu Lei, increasing the number of goals to 7 and jumping directly to the third place in the scorer list. Gustavo missed a few games at the start of the season due to injury, and after eight appearances, he was able to rank among the top three scorers, second only to Wu Lei in terms of efficiency.
With two top three scorers in the rankings, SIPG have exploded in their last three rounds, scoring a total of 16 goals and becoming the first team to score more than 30 goals. At the beginning of the season, SIPG's "terrifying play" attracted some ridicule, but after all the players entered the state, SIPG does have some "horror" now.
Another Shanghai team, Shenhua's Luis and Teixeira, also squeezed into the top five, with a total of 15 goals, accounting for 60% of Shenhua's total goals. Unfortunately, Teixeira suffered a torn tendon and is currently undecided. Affected by this, Shenhua did not score in a single game for the first time in this round of away games against Tianjin Jinmen Tigers in this season.
Although Wu Lei occupies the top spot, the scorer list is still dominated by foreign players, with only four local players in the top 20. In the home match with Henan, Wei Shihao scored a key goal to help Chengdu Rongcheng win 4-2. Wei Shihao's season goals finally reached 4 goals, ranking among the top 20 scorers. In addition, Zhang Yuning and Tan Long are also in the top 20 scorers with 4 goals, but Zhang Yuning's state has fluctuated after being injured for a period of time.
Judging from the league performance, the national football coach Ivankovic really does not have many players available in the forward line. Judging from the games he watched live, Wu Lei, Wei Shihao, and Zhang Yuning will still be selected for the World Preliminaries in June, but it is still unknown whether Tan Long will be able to return.
