5, Changchun Yatai scored 13 points. Changchun Yatai succeeded in securing the 2020 China League Championship with its strong performance in the second stage of the 2020 China League Super League, and returned to the China Super League after 728 days. As the winner of the 2007 Chinese Super League Championship, Changchun Yatai is hailed as a "giant killer" by the outside world, and this is because it often strikes its opponents fatally when facing strong teams such as Evergrande and Guoan. Therefore, Yatai is now returning to the Super League, and I don't know what it feels like for the strong teams such as Evergrande, Guoan and SIPG.
As everyone knows, Changchun Yatai entered the Super League in early 2006 and won the Super League championship in 2007. In 2009, Changchun Yatai won the second place in the Chinese Super League. In those years, Changchun Yatai was one of the strong teams in the Super League. However, as Evergrande enters the Chinese Super League to start a "new era", although Changchun Yatai's "days" in the Chinese Super League have become more and more sad and rarely have the chance to break into the top of the standings, it often leaves the outside world with the impression of "robbing the rich and helping the poor".
For example, from 2011 to 2018, Yatai played against Evergrande 16 times and won 4 times. Among them, in the 24th round of the 2011 Super League, Yatai ended Evergrande's unbeaten record of 23 rounds. For example, in 2014, Yatai once doubled Evergrande in a single season. Even in 2018, when Yatai was relegated, Yatai defeated Evergrande 3-2. In addition to Evergrande, Yatai brought more bad memories to Guoan. For example, in 2007, Yataifeng scored 1-0 when it challenged Guoan on a rainy night, and with this victory, the Yulin Jun won the 2007 Super League championship. From 2011 to 2013, Yatai had the experience of defeating Guoan every year, especially in 2012 when it beat Guoan 4-0 in away games. As for 2017, Yatai even doubled Guoan in a single season. When Yatai played against SIPG, Yatai also had the experience of winning streak across the season.
However, although Yatai is not ashamed of such strong teams as Evergrande, Guoan, SIPG, Luneng, etc., it often "turns over" when facing midstream and downstream teams. Especially in 2018, Yatai, who originally held the absolute initiative to relegation, lost key points continuously at the end of the season, and was finally downgraded after a 0-2 loss to Dalian on November 11, 2018. After being relegated, Yatai spent another two years in the Chinese Premier League before returning to the Super League.
and from November 11, 2018 to November 8, 2020, a full interval of 728 days. Of course, although Yatai won this year's Chinese Premier League, it is obviously unrealistic to use the current lineup configuration to deal with the fiercely competitive Chinese Super League. Looking at the Yatai lineup at the moment, except for the marginal international Tan Long, the rest of the players who can gain a foothold in the Super League are rare. As for the configuration of Yatai's foreign aid is relatively weak compared to the Super League team. Therefore, as far as Yatai is concerned, after securing the promotion seat, the next step is to consider upgrading the lineup. Otherwise, the possibility of "one round trip" next year is not ruled out.
is especially worth mentioning that Zhejiang Greentown won 3 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss and 10 points in the second stage of the 2020 Chinese Premier League to lock the runner-up. It will start a two-round relegation with the 15th team in the Super League this year. As for the match, its opponents will be born from Wuhan Zall and Shijiazhuang Yongchang. For Zhejiang Greentown, it is naturally not easy to win the promotion right in the promotion and promotion playoffs of the Super League team. Therefore, it is very likely that only Yatai will be upgraded this year.
