This weekend, the Chinese Super League ushered in the 12th round of exciting matchups. With Qingdao West Coast's 3:5 home loss to Shanghai Port last night, a total of 8 matches in the 12th round of the Chinese Super League have all ended. According to statistics, 16 Chinese Super League teams swept the offensive wave in this round of the game and teamed up to score 43 wonderful goals. So far, a new record has been broken! It has set a new record for the total number of goals scored in a single round in the history of the Chinese Super League. The previous record was 37 goals in a single round held as early as the 15th round of the 2018 Chinese Super League.
As we all know, the 2018 season of the Chinese Super League is still in the crazy era of Jinyuan football. At that time, all teams were spending a lot of money to bring in high-level foreign players who were worth a lot of money. The Chinese Super League giants led by Evergrande and SIPG are all heavily invested in recruiting super foreign aid to form a strong attacking front. Therefore, in terms of scoring ability, the quality of foreign aid in today's Chinese Super League must not be compared with the level of foreign aid in the Jinyuan football era.
But today's Chinese Super League is gradually picking up after a period of unbearable baptism of wind and rain, ushering in good signs of bottoming out. This is undoubtedly a welcome change, and through the joint efforts of all levels of society, the professional league has returned to a healthy and orderly development track.
The biggest feeling of the Chinese Super League this season is that the investment philosophy of various clubs has gradually become rational after being constrained by financial difficulties. Although there was no sensational transfer of hundreds of millions of dollars as in the past, the clubs met to change their thinking and began to pursue cost-effective reinforcement investment. It can be found that although the teams in the Chinese Super League do not have big-name foreign support teams, these low-cost foreign guns can be better integrated into the team's tactical system.
Therefore, we can be pleasantly surprised to find that although the forward configuration of the Chinese Super League teams is still dominated by foreign aid, the cooperation between foreign aid and local players is increasing. Even the teams such as Shanghai Shuangxiong, Guoan, and Taishan, which are currently at the top of the standings, although foreign players still occupy a core position in the team's tactical system, the role of local players in many key positions is gradually improving their tactical status.
Like Shenhua's Gao Tianyi and Xu Haoyang, Wu Lei of the SIPG team, Huang Zhengyu and Li Yuanyi of the Taishan team, and Zhang Xizhe of the Guoan team all play an important tactical position in the tactical system of their respective teams. At the same time, with the improvement of the excitement of the game, the attention of fans to the Chinese Super League is also increasing. In the 12th round of the Chinese Super League, a total of German "Transfer Market" China administrator counted the attendance rate of this round, and a total of 123358 spectators poured into the scene to watch the game in 8 games, although the average attendance rate was only 15,420 people, creating a new low this season, which was caused by some objective factors. But even so, the average attendance rate of more than 10,000 per game is still gratifying, indicating that the enthusiasm of fans is heating up in an all-round way!
