On December 14, Beijing time, at the end of last year, the problem of unbalanced league grouping was boiling over. Many media people pointed out that the top two jiangsu Suning and Guangzhou Evergrande in the league came from the Guangzhou division, while yongchang, which was finally at the bottom, was the Suzhou division team. Suddenly, the FA's grouping became the focus of discussion among fans.
Unexpectedly, the same problem occurred in the league group this year. The 8 teams in suzhou won 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the first round of the second stage of the league, which can be said to be a comprehensive crush on the opponents of guangzhou division. Only the Shandong Taishan team has become a fig leaf for the Guangzhou division.
No one expected that after the start of the second stage of the league this year, the gap between the teams in Guangzhou and the teams in Suzhou was so large.
Not only did Qingdao, Cangzhou Lions, Henan Songshan Longmen and other relegation teams lose, but Guangzhou City, Guangzhou and Shenzhen were also defeated by their opponents. Among them, the Qingdao team has almost no strength to fight back. Henan Songshan Dragon Gate gave the Dalian team at the bottom of the Suzhou division more than 10 opportunities in the first half, and although the Cangzhou Lions and Shenzhen team scored goals, the gap between them and the opponent was still obvious. Guangzhou City is empty of possession and does not create many real chances. The Guangzhou team is in a slightly better situation, they are invincible, but the opponent Beijing Guoan only has a single foreign aid.
In addition, the Chongqing team was pressed by the Jinmen Tiger to play almost the whole game, but fortunately they scored 1 goal and scored 1 point.
Of all the teams in the Guangzhou Division, only Shandong Taishan is strong, and they beat Hebei. But the beauty of the leader can't hide the decline of other teams in the division.
The current championship group, the guangzhou division and the Suzhou division, are staggered in rankings. The probability of Shandong Taishan winning the league is very high, but at the same time, Haigang, Changchun Yatai and even Beijing Guoan have the strength to compete for the top four in the league.
In the relegation group, the team rankings in Suzhou Division are significantly better than those in Guangzhou Division. Shenhua is a strong contender for the ninth place in the league, with Wuhan, Dalian and Jinmen Tigers all having great hopes of early relegation. The Chongqing team and the Qingdao team are still suffering from arrears, and they may eventually rank the last two and participate in future play-offs.
In terms of the use of foreign aid, Changchun Yatai is 4 foreign aid debut, Haigang, Shenhua, Dalianren, Jinmen Tiger are three foreign aides, Hebei team 2 foreign aid combined to play more than 120 minutes, Wuhan team and Guoan are single foreign aid. A total of 20 foreign aid were used in Suzhou.
In the Guangzhou division, Henan 4 foreign aid, Shandong Taishan 3 foreign aid plus 1 naturalization, Shenzhen team, Qingdao team, Cangzhou Lions are 3 foreign aid, Guangzhou City is 2 foreign aid, Chongqing team and Guangzhou team are all Chinese class, the cumulative number of non-local born players reached 19 person-times, and the Suzhou division team is basically the same.
This also shows in disguise that the gap between the strength of the two divisions is not in foreign aid, but in factors such as the stability of local players and clubs.
In this year's group, the Harbor Team, Beijing Guoan, Shenhua, Hebei Team, Dalian Renren, Guangzhou City, Wuhan Team and Changchun Yatai were originally divided into one group. Considering that jinmen tigers joined later, the football association exchanged their positions with Guangzhou City. As a result, the overall strength of the teams in suzhou is still stronger than that in Guangzhou, which also leads to a large gap between the records of the two divisions.
I hope that next year's league will not engage in AB two groups again. If the number of rounds is reduced, it will not be fair to the vast majority of teams in the league.
