In the fierce duel between Zhejiang and Changchun Yatai, Yatai managed to be relegated by virtue of their tenacious defense, shaking hands with Henan 0-0 in the final round. After this game, they followed the 1-8 loss to Guoan, two consecutive games zero shutout opponents, Xie Hui's adjustment of the defense can not be credited. However, with foreign center back Rosic suspended and starter Zhang Yufeng unable to play, the task of shutting out their opponents has become even more daunting. Recently, there are rumors about the team's core Serginho naturalized Guoan, and his curtain-raising performance in the last game at home is undoubtedly the focus of fans' attention. Zhejiang drew 3-3 with Shandong Taishan in the last round, and both teams played an open game without the pressure of results. Zhejiang's foreign aid Leonardo was suspended due to yellow card, and the strength of the attacking end was damaged. Next week they will usher in the second tier of the AFC Champions League, the key out of the lineup battle, Jordy may be in the Yatai game to retain the main force. It is worth mentioning that Zhejiang has a poor record on the road this season, with only 3 wins, 1 draw and 10 losses in 14 matches, and only three towns won in the last 10 away matches.
The match between Shanghai Shenhua and Chengdu Rongcheng was supposed to be a crucial battle to decide the champion. However, after the final round, the situation has suddenly changed and the attention between Chengdu Rongcheng and Shenhua has decreased. Chengdu Rongcheng drew 1-1 with West Coast in the last round, basically locking up a place in the AFC Elite League playoffs. It was also Chengdu's first foray into the Asian competition and morale is high. Chengdu is expected to send out their main force to face Shenhua and fight for 3 points at home. Shenhua, on the other hand, will need to win on the road and then keep an eye on the result in the harbor. Slutsky will not rotate his squad for the AFC Champions League in the middle of next week, and the Shenhua players will be fighting for their title hopes. The playing field could be quite intense. The Shenhua team traveled to Chengdu and the importance of the match is evident. Even Manafa, who has been injured for 3 months, is on the roster.
The match between Qingdao Hainiu and Cangzhou Lions was one of the most watched matches in the final round. Qingdao Hainiu went down 0-1 to Jinmen Tigers in the final round and moved into the bottom three of the table with 7 wins, 5 draws and 17 losses. They can only succeed in relegation by winning 3 points. The Manatees return home after 77 days to complete the final battle of the season. It would be the best way to give back to the fans if they can survive relegation at home. However, the problem is that Manatee's 27 goals are the weakest goals in the Chinese Super League, and they can only score if they solve the goal scoring problem. Cangzhou Lions lost 0-1 to Shanghai Seaport in the last round and ranked 11th with 7 wins, 8 draws and 14 losses, only 3 points ahead of the relegation zone.
Meizhou Hakka and Shandong Taishan dueled, Taishan drew 3-3 with Zhejiang in the final round, the ranking is confirmed, Taishan played more easily, the team will choose some rotation for next midweek's AFC Elite League. Zeca is gradually finding his way back to the game and is expected to start. Kressan and Kazayishvili may make substitutions. Meizhou Hakka managed to escape from the relegation zone by beating Sanzhen 1-0 in the final round, but Meizhou fans are afraid to consider their team as the most dangerous compared to Hainiu and Xinpengcheng.
A battle between Tianjin Shanghai Harbor and Jinmen Tigers will decide the final title. Shanghai Harbor beat Cangzhou Lions 1-0 to move back to the top of the table again, one point adrift of Shenhua. As long as Seaport wins this game, they will win the Chinese Super League title again. But whether Harbor can win the match is a question. Jinmen Tigers beat Sea Cow 1-0 to confirm their sixth place in the league, in a game with no desire to win.
In the match between Nantong Zhiyun and Shenzhen Xinpengcheng, Xinpengcheng showed tenacity in the last round and beat Shenhua 2-2 on the road, which not only prevented Shenhua from winning the championship, but also gained 1 key point for relegation. However, on the table, New Pangcheng is still deep in the relegation zone. If we don't look at this round of matches, New Pengcheng will be the most dangerous team.
Qingdao West Coast and Wuhan Sanzhen have been relegated after Sanzhen lost 0-1 to Meizhou Hakka in the final round. Their position in the table remains almost unchanged. There have been a lot of negative rumors about the team lately, and I'm afraid it will bother the players' preparation for the game. It was clear from the match that San Zhen has no intention to fight, and ending the season early is their truest goal.
