Original title: Chinese Super League ends second round competition (title)
Strong dialogues lead to a draw and it is difficult for local players to score goals (theme)
China Sports News reporter Ma Yiou
The second round of all competitions for the 2024 Chinese Super League ended on March 10. The two strong dialogues ended in draws, and neither scored a goal. The overall performance of local players in this round was mediocre. 15 of the 16 goals scored in 8 games were scored by foreign players.
The game between Shandong Taishan and Beijing Guoan has always been the focus of the game, and it can even be said to be a business card of the Chinese Super League. Both teams have a profound heritage, each has a distinctive style, and have jointly contributed to many classic battles. The two teams met early in the second round of the 2024 season, which will naturally help to increase the attention of the league. However, although the “Beijing-Luzhou War” was intense, the ending was relatively dull.
Shandong Taishan just completed the first leg of the AFC Champions League quarter-finals at home with Japan’s Yokohama Marinos on March 6. This level of competition consumes a lot of money for the team. Shandong Taishan made a substantial rotation of the starting lineup in this game. Fortunately, the team has a good bench depth and the players have shown enough enthusiasm. Beijing Guoan has superior physical fitness, but in terms of entering the game state, there is a gap with Shandong Taishan, which has adapted to the high-intensity game rhythm through the AFC Champions League. Beijing Guoan’s lineup actually has certain advantages, but its efficiency is not high.
It is worth mentioning that Ivankovic, the head coach of the Chinese men’s football team, also came to watch the game. A total of 11 people from these two teams have been selected for the new national team training list. Shandong Taishan selected 7 players, but Liu Yang, Micro Motion and Fernando did not appear.
Examining players is also a key word in this round of the Chinese Super League. In addition to Ivankovic coming to Jinan, the national team coaching staff also went to Shanghai, Zhejiang and Nantong to watch the games. In Hangzhou, another high-profile game was also staged. Shanghai Haigang, which also had seven players selected for the new national team, played an away game against the Zhejiang team, which had two players selected for the national football team. The two teams also ended up fighting 0-0. .
The two strong dialogues were not as exciting as expected, and many international players did not perform particularly outstandingly. In the other two games with national team coaching staff watching, Shanghai Shenhua defeated newly promoted Qingdao West Coast 2-0 at home, and Wuhan Sanzhen defeated Nantong Zhiyun 3-1 away. Local players did not score a goal.
The fact that the national team did not perform outstandingly is not too surprising. Ivankovic previously stated at a media conference that the new season has just begun and players need a process to gradually get their bodies into game condition. After the second round of the Chinese Super League, the league will enter an intermission period, and this training period will be very critical.
