After 7 rounds of the Chinese Super League, the situation of championship and relegation has begun to take shape. With a complete lineup, Wuhan Three Towns deserve to be in the top three of the season at the beginning of the season, and now they are firmly at the top of the Chinese Super League . Shandong Taishan was troubled by injuries and struggled to win the championship, but it still ranked among the first teams. Only Shanghai Haigang's overall strength was greatly reduced after the absence of Oscar , while its old rival Shanghai Shenhua and the Dalian who were humiliated back then embarked on the road of counterattack.
Based on the experience of previous seasons, Shanghai Haigang and Shandong Taishan are considered to be the two teams that are most capable of competing for the championship, and their team value ranks first and second in the Chinese Super League respectively. But what is surprising is that after the start of the game, the two teams fell apart. Haigang had an upset start with two consecutive defeats. Because it was unable to concentrate on preparations before the season, the team suffered from "slow warming" symptoms. Afterwards, it faced the Guangzhou team and Hebei team in the all-China class, and Haigang found its form. But in the real strong dialogue with the three towns of Wuhan, in the absence of Oscar, Haigang has no advantage at all. The two duels with Shenhua made this team with the highest value play a tactical level that was completely inconsistent with its value. Without Oscar, Shanghai Harbor can only be said to be a "pseudo-rich family".
Shandong Taishan also had a rough start. Fellaini was absent, new aid Cressan was in poor condition, and the defense frequently lost personnel. However, the temperament of the double champion is here, Fellaini is gradually coming back, and Cresan has also broken the goal window. After 7 rounds of games, Shandong Taishan can also find a place in the top three. However, Judson has been out injured for at least two months, and the defending champion can be said to have experienced ups and downs in terms of employment. As for the top three Wuhan towns, their performance this year really illustrates the principle that you get what you pay for. Standard king Stancho free kick is amazing, and the foreign players in the team are also worthy of the price.
As for the most surprising team, it is Dalian and Shanghai Shenhua. Because Shanghai Shenhua was unable to sign any new players, it played with its original team and its old acquaintance Wu Jingui , and only one foreign player Bassogo was available at the beginning. Experienced veterans are matched with young people who dare to fight. Shenhua's new lineup has unexpectedly achieved miraculous results. Coupled with Wu Jingui's deployment of troops, the team not only tied with the top three towns of Wuhan, but also had no trace of the two-round confrontation with Shanghai Haigang. Don't fall behind. However, as the league progresses, whether Shenhua can continue to maintain this state is still a question mark.
Another "legendary" team is definitely from Dalian. The team played an all-Chinese class, but they played with the momentum of five foreign players on the field, which once made "just fight with pressure" popular all over the Internet. Although the Dalian natives are currently ranked in the second half, their results of 2 wins, 3 draws and 9 points in 7 games have greatly exceeded expectations. You know, in the pre-season team value rankings, the Dalian people ranked second to last among the Chinese Super League teams, only higher than the Hebei team, and even worse than Shanxi Changan Athletic, Kunshan fc and other Chinese League One teams. However, the team's bench depth is a concern. Like Shenhua, as the league progresses, there will be more and more problems to face. I hope these two teams can perform as always.
