When spring comes, everything recovers, and the 2024 Chinese Super League officially kicks off on March 1, and 16 teams will continue to play against each other. What is funny is that when the 2024 Chinese Super League was announced by the chairman of the Football Association in Shanghai, Shandong Taishan had already completed the game against Changchun Yatai at home. After the first round of the competition, there was a situation of several happy and some sad. Last season's top-ranked teams, such as Shandong Taishan, Chengdu Rongcheng, Shanghai Shenhua, Shanghai Digang, Beijing Guoan, and Zhejiang teams, all got off to a good start, while last season's slightly weaker, relegated teams and promoted polo teams, such as Changchun Yatai, Qingdao Manatee, Cangzhou Lions, Meizhou Hakka, and promoted horses Shenzhen Xinpeng City, all got off to a good start. Of course, there are also small upsets, that is, Tianjin Jinmen can't win last season's relegation team Nantong Zhiyun at home, and the Henan team, which is the hegemon of the Central Plains, can't get promoted to the west coast of Qingdao. In addition, there is a more unexpected team is the former Chinese Super League champion Wuhan Three Towns, who was beaten by Shanghai Port to lose their armor, the main reason is that the team has changed blood, let go of too many main international balls and strong foreign aid, so that the team's vitality is greatly damaged. Judging from this trend, the games of Wuhan Three Towns in the new season will be more difficult, after all, there are too many newcomers, and it does take time to polish the shape.
Judging from the 8 matches in the first round of the Chinese Super League, there was no 0:0 draw, and goals were scored in every game. A total of 22 goals were scored by 20 players from each team in the eight games, an average of 2 goals per game75, five more than the 17 goals scored in the same period last season, indicating that the Chinese Super League has improved in attack on the basis of last year. Nine of those goals were scored by eight local players, with Shanghai Port striker Wu Lei scoring twice. In addition, Beijing Guoan striker Zhang Yuning and Changchun Yatai striker Tan Long also scored respectively. But in the Asian Cup, they didn't get anything. Why they are so brave when they return to the league that people can't figure it out. And from another aspect, it can also be seen that foreign aid goals are still the mainstream, whoever has strong foreign aid, who will be more able to win, such as Shandong Taishan's four goals, all scored by foreign aid Cressan, Pato, Judson, Kazaishvili.
After the first round of the Chinese Super League, in the standings, Shanghai Port, Shandong Taishan, Beijing Guoan, Chengdu Rongcheng, Shanghai Shenhua and other strong teams have 3 points, while in the relegation area, Cangzhou Lions, Qingdao Manatee, and Meizhou Hakka are tied for last place.
After the first round of the Chinese Super League, several domestic players performed well and entered the best team in the first round, they are Zhejiang goalkeeper Zhao Bo, Chengdu Rongcheng defender Li Yang, Shanghai Shenhua defender Jiang Shenglong and Shanghai Port striker Wu Lei. Hopefully, the new head coach of our national team, Ivankovic, can see their performances and try to bring good form to the national team and bring good luck to the World Preliminary Tournament in March.
