The 2024 Chinese Super League has already played 22 rounds. There should be no suspense that the defending champion Shanghai Port will win the championship. So what else is suspenseful? Maybe it is when Shanghai Port's winning streak will end.

In the last round of the Chinese Super League, Shanghai Port narrowly beat the declining powerhouse Shandong Taishan 1:0 away, but Shanghai Shenhua was defeated 2:1 by the bitter Beijing Guoan away, and the original 2-point gap widened to 5 points. Even if Shanghai Shenhua beat Shanghai Port at home in the 23rd round of the Shanghai Derby, there is still a 2-point gap. Moreover, judging from the current state of both teams, how easy is it for Shenhua to beat Shanghai Port?

At the beginning of the season, probably not many people would have expected such a result, at least no one would have thought that Shanghai Port would have such a strong dominance.

At the end of last season, Shanghai Port's performance was a bit poor, just like Arsenal in the previous two seasons. It was mainly because competitors such as Wuhan Three Towns, Shanghai Shenhua and Shandong Taishan all had their own problems that gave Shanghai Port the opportunity to win the Chinese Super League championship for the second time in its history.

At the end of the season, Shanghai Haigang did not make any big moves in the transfer market. Foreign players like Gustavo, Cittadini and Rusa are just "lottery tickets" and cannot be compared with foreign players of the "golden dollar football era" such as Oscar, Gian and Hulk. Wu Lei, Oscar, Zhang Linpeng and Yan Junling, these main players are not young anymore. After growing another year older, their status will naturally continue to decline.
