In the late afternoon of November 4, the 30th round of the 2023 Chinese Super League (CSL) season arrived as scheduled, with a total of eight matches being played at the same time in this round. Before the match, the official Super League has released the live broadcast schedule of this round of matches.
It is worth mentioning that Shanghai Harbour Team has already locked up the title in the final round, while Shenzhen Team is unfortunately relegated early. From the standings, only two suspenseful issues remain to be resolved in this round of matches: the belonging of the last relegation place and the competition for the last AFC Champions League ticket. Four key matches are closely related to these two suspenseful issues: Dalian People vs Shanghai Harbor, Nantong Zhiyun vs Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, Shanghai Shenhua vs Zhejiang Team, and Chengdu Rongcheng vs Meizhou Hakka.
According to the latest program schedule, in addition to the major online platforms, CCTV Sports Channel (CCTV5) will also broadcast live the AFC Champions League qualification battle between Shanghai Shenhua and Zhejiang. Originally, CCTV5 had previewed in the CCTV Monday program list on November 4 that there would be 30 live broadcasts of Chinese Super League matches, but did not specify which ones. Now it seems, perhaps because of the two games and Dalian people and Nantong Zhiyun relegation related to the battle of life and death difficult to choose, and ultimately the CCTV chose to live Shanghai Shenhua and Zhejiang team's game.
On the eve of the match, both teams have 52 points, with Shanghai Shenhua ahead of Zhejiang in 33rd place on the table by virtue of their wins and losses, while Zhejiang is in fourth place. In this crucial conversation, only a win for both teams will qualify them for the AFC Champions League. If fifth-ranked Chengdu Rongcheng can beat Meizhou Hakka, then Chengdu Rongcheng will qualify for the AFC Champions League by virtue of their win-loss record.
In this case, both Shanghai Shenhua and Zhejiang will never accept a draw, and a fierce battle is inevitable. It's worth noting that Shanghai Shenhua is the only team in the top eight of the Chinese Super League standings that hasn't lost to Zhejiang this season. So, in the final round of matches, will they continue their unbeaten streak, or will it be broken? The answer will be revealed soon.
It is reported that in addition to CCTV5, Shanghai Radio and Television Color Drama Channel will also broadcast the match between Shanghai Shenhua and Zhejiang. The match between Chengdu Rongcheng and Meizhou Hakka will be broadcast live on Chengdu Radio and TV Fair Channel.
Meanwhile, Shanghai Seaport's away match against Dalian People will be broadcast live on Five Star Sports Channel and Dalian Radio and Television Culture and Sports Channel. Nantong Zhiyun's home match against Tianjin Jinmen Tigers will be broadcast live on Tianjin Radio & TV Sports Channel.
In other matches, Shandong Taishan's clash with Henan will be broadcast live on Shandong Radio and Television's Sports and Leisure Channel. The match between Changchun Yatai and Wuhan Sanzhen will be broadcast live on Wuhan Radio and Television Culture and Sports Channel. The match between Shenzhen and Beijing Guoan will be broadcast live on Guangzhou Radio and Television Nanguo City Channel and Beijing Radio and Television Sports and Leisure Channel. The match between Cangzhou Lions and Qingdao Hainiu, on the other hand, will not be broadcast live on any TV platform.
