The new season of the Chinese Super League will start on June 3. The opening match was originally scheduled to be played between Shandong Taishan Team and Chongqing Team. With the Chongqing Team’s wage-demanding heat wave and the indifference of team investors, what is even more surprising is that, Before the start of the game, the Shanghai Haigang team encountered an irresistible obstacle that the core foreign players could not arrive in time, and the team had just completed the first team training of the new season. Under the double blow, the Haigang team's season prospects were worrying, and the Taishan team also Not much better, coach Hao Wei was exposed in a scandal, core midfielder Sun Zhunhao was unable to play the entire season, Guo Tianyu returned from overseas and had no ball to play. The double champion and runner-up last season fell into quagmire before the start of the new season.
After the end of last season, no one seems to doubt that the championship competition in the new season will still be a two-player game between Taishan team and Haigang team. However, there are too many unknowns in Chinese football, and Taishan team has suffered too many In terms of subjective adverse effects, the Harbor team has experienced a lot of objectively unavoidable troubles. This phenomenon itself is very abnormal, but the results for the two teams are very similar. They will have more or less problems throughout the new season. Or less dilemma, this is a huge test for the team's adjustment ability and personnel reserves. The Taishan team is currently suffering from 4 unfavorable factors, and the Haigang team has 2 irresistible problems. For the second team, It is inevitable that both sides will suffer losses.
1. 4 difficulties for the Shandong Taishan team:
First of all, South Korean foreign aid Sun Junhao was recruited by the South Korean national team, and two consecutive recruitment letters were issued. Shandong media previously revealed that, in addition to training camps, international match days, East Asian Cup, Sun Zhunhao basically said goodbye to the new Chinese Super League season before the World Cup training. Recently, Shandong Taishan team veteran Zhang Chi revealed in an interview with the media that the Taishan team and the Korean national team have each made concessions, and the Taishan team can keep Sun Zhunhao for the competition. In the first stage of the new season, Son Jun-ho will represent the South Korean team in the East Asian Cup. The key question is, after all this trouble, can Son Jun-ho really be selected for the South Korean team's World Cup roster? If the Korean coach didn't include him in his focus, wouldn't the Taishan team suffer a big loss in vain?
Secondly, Guo Tianyu’s stay abroad was really short and concise. It lasted for thirty minutes in total. He returned to China within a few days, but the Taishan team did not sign him up for the new season. In addition, his Studying abroad is actually not led by the Taishan team but by the Football Association. Now Guo Tianyu is in the embarrassing situation of having no ball to play. Has the Football Association made preparations for his next overseas trip in advance? If not, can it start a plan for him? A green light for him to sign up for the new season. Fans believed that the Football Association would not give this green light. A certain fan’s words were praised by many people. He said: “Guo Tianyu’s study abroad was originally a conspiracy. Just playing dirty tricks is someone's best method, and the Taishan team suffered a dumb loss. "
Once again, the Taishan team was assigned to what the outside world calls the "death zone" in the new season's division group, and even the original team was eliminated. The Henan team in the Haigang team's division was adjusted to the Shandong team's division, and the Wuhan team in the Shandong team's division was adjusted to the Haigang team's division. In this way, the Taishan team's division gathered Yatai, Henan, and Guangzhou. City team and other Chinese Super League teams, while the Haigang team was lucky enough to be in the same group as two all-China teams and the Wuhan team. This is uncontrollable for the Taishan team. Over the years, the Shandong team has not been tricked once or twice. Now that we are back, everyone has become accustomed to it.
Finally, the recent hot-fire Taishan coach Hao Wei was exposed. It was exposed at that time. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this was to disrupt the military morale of the Taishan team. Zhang Chi’s words made those with ulterior motives angry. He He said that the Taishan team didn't care about these things at all. The team is very stable now, everyone is very united, and they have great admiration and respect for Hao Wei's guidance.And this exposure incident fully illustrates one thing. The previous series of speculations about the unfavorable factors of the Taishan team are most likely not natural disasters but man-made disasters. Chinese football is absolutely good at such things. A team like the Taishan team is doing this. Unless something like this happens, everyone knows who did it.
2. Two pain points of the Shanghai Harbor Team:
First, the core midfielder Oscar of the Harbor Team was originally staying well in China. It is reported that because his mother in his hometown in Brazil returned to Brazil in an emergency, he is still in Brazil. Previously, the media revealed that Oscar He has to return to China in July. According to the latest news, Oscar will be able to return in June, but he will also have to go through nearly a month of isolation. It can be said that Oscar and Sun Junhao will not be able to play for the team for the whole game due to objective reasons, but Oscar is a bit better. After all, he won't leave after he comes back, but it's hard to say when he will come back. Everything will be subject to boarding the plane.
Secondly, due to the epidemic in Shanghai, the Haigang team has not gathered for most of this offseason. They have only recently completed their first collective outdoor training. The players' physical recovery has become the team's biggest problem at present. Haigang Team players said in interviews that the team’s main task in the first stage is to recover their physical fitness. They hope they will not be too exhausted, but judging from the strength of the Harbor team’s opponents in the division, this is not too difficult for them. thing, but the difficulty is real. After all, at this time point, most teams are practicing skills and tactics, and the Harbor team started late.
For Taishan and Haigang, the two championship and runner-up teams last season, the difficulties they face now are real. The most fatal thing is that the absolute core foreign players in the midfield of both teams have changed to varying degrees. , you know, without these two people, the two teams are completely different teams. This is actually the biggest headache for them. After all, the midfield engine and metronome cannot be replaced casually. , accessories always need to be broken in, but the original parts are still easy to use.
3. Beijing Guoan competes for the championship with its strength
Last season, Guoan was also included in the list of teams with unpaid wages. This surprised many people. Have they solved the problem of unpaid wages this offseason? In fact, from their It can be clearly seen from the signings. During the offseason, they introduced four new foreign players, Ade Benluo, Jiang Xiangyou, Dablo and Memisevic. This does not behave like a salary-arrears club. It is not like the Guangzhou team. Bringing in any player and selling off a large number of players with big contracts is what a team with salary arrears would do. It can be seen that the Beijing team has no financial difficulties at all, and they also want to get a share of the pie in this troubled world. .
In addition, Zhang Chengdong also returned to the team, as did two naturalized players, Li Ke and Hou Yongyong, Zhang Yuning, Yu Dabao, Zhang Xizhe, Gao Tianyi, Chi Zhongguo, Yu Yang, Wang Gang, Pu Cheng, etc. The new and old national players make the Yulin Army more confident. Look at this lineup, a proper championship lineup. Guoan team’s old coach Xie Feng has also replaced Bilic. The entire Guoan team is now very strong. The most important thing is Yes, they have always been in the corner of public opinion and have hardly attracted attention from the outside world. This is very conducive to the team's preparations. The author of "New Vision of Sports" analyzed that Guoan has four foreign players, plus two naturalized players, and has the qualifications. With the absolute strength to compete with Taishan and Haigang, they can compete for the championship based on their strength.
4. The Chinese men's football team competes with Italy for the championship
Italy's "La Repubblica" broke a controversial news. The Italian team, which was unexpectedly eliminated in the World Cup preliminaries, is expected to participate in this year's Qatar World Cup as a replacement. The reason is that Ecuador had previously used in the World Cup preliminaries. If a player is not qualified to participate, they may be expelled from the World Cup. If this happens, FIFA must consider who will substitute for the World Cup. According to international rules, the substitute team will be the losing team. The highest-ranked team in China, the Italian team is ranked 6th in the world, and Italy also has great expectations. At present, everything is possible, and Italy's hopes are indeed great.
But Chinese fans are unwilling. If we really want to replace the team, the Chinese team is the most suitable replacement team. After all, there are many Chinese fans and their purchasing power is huge. The key is that Italy can dream, why can't we just do it? Ser, Ecuador's violation of regulations is currently under investigation. If it is really deprived of its World Cup quota, it is estimated that the replacement quota will be taken away. Although Italy has so-called rule blessings, the rules are also made by people. Before the final decision is made, Everything is likely to change, and FIFA is indeed particularly eager for the Chinese market. I believe everyone is very clear about the reasons.
But the most critical question is whether our national football team has the dignity to play in the World Cup. The 2002 national football team was called the strongest in history. For the time being, it was given several duck eggs, but the strength of that national football team was still the same. It's very good. I can play against the Brazilian team in the World Cup, and the partial short-pass coordination is not much worse. But now the national football team can be beaten by Asian opponents and can't find the way. If they go to the World Cup, they will be beaten every game. With a few big goals, there is not much self-confidence left. If they are brutally beaten by the World Cup, Chinese football may completely fall into the Ice Age.
