The top ten foreign aides in the first stage of the Chinese Super League: Fabio leads, and Waco and Kiles are listed

The reporter reported coldly After Oscar's departure, this season is the first season without "super foreign aid" after the "Golden Yuan Football Era" of the Chinese Super League has come to an end. The active foreign aid of the Chinese Super League, fame, value, etc. are basically in the same range. According to the comprehensive performance of the foreign aid in the Chinese Super League, this newspaper has selected the top ten foreign aid with the best performance in the first stage of this season.

In the relegation team of the Chinese Super League, without the support of a strong midfield, Brazilian winger Silva played an impressive performance in the first stage of the league. Last year, it was not registered, but this year it is the side breakthrough point that the Manatees rely on on the offensive end. Six goals and one assist in 12 appearances, accounting for half of the team's goals. Among the top 10 in the first stage of the Chinese Super League's scoring and participation list, Silva is the only foreign player in the bottom half of the team.

Compared with Cressan and Kiles, Silva started low and went high, with 5 goals and 1 assist in the last 7 games, scoring against Shenhua and Taishan, and also assisting against Harbour. It's just that the overall strength of the team is not good, and his goals and assists only bring the team 5 points. But for Qingdao Manatee, which is struggling with relegation, Silva is the biggest reliance.

If you only look at the statistics of 6 goals and 3 assists in 11 games, the scorer of the Tarzan team Cressan is not bad, but slightly inferior to Fabio, Kiles and teammate Kazaishvili. Compared to the same period last year (6 goals and 1 assist), it is still a slight increase. But judging from the highest value of 4.5 million euros in the Chinese Super League, Cressan's performance is actually lower than expected. Because in the first 7 rounds, he has completed 6 goals and 3 assists, but the opponents who were assisted by his goals are basically teams in the lower half of the region.

In the next 5 games, Cressan did not score, and the Taishan team only won 1 win, 1 draw and 4 losses. often falls into solitary battles and lacks echo with teammates, which is also the main shortcoming of Cressan who has always been criticized by the outside world. His super individual ability can play the role of the team savior when using Shun, but there are also situations where he disrupts the offensive rhythm and even ends up fighting with himself.

Chengdu Rongcheng made great progress in the first stage of the season, and in addition to the solid performance of the defensive line led by Timo, Romulo's contribution on the offensive end was also obvious to all. As the team's offensive playmaker, Romulo only handed over 4 goals and 2 assists, but his role cannot be simply judged by the number of goals. He creates space more through fast running, relies on accurate passing, solid ball control and precise control of the pace of the game, connects the team's attack and defense, and can also actively insert assists.

On Sofascored, a well-known foreign rating website, Romulo was shortlisted for the best team in a single round as many as 4 times in the first 13 rounds of the Chinese Super League, ranking first in the number of shortlistings for foreign aid in the Chinese Super League. Romulo is a typical all-round midfielder, which is currently the most scarce type of midfielder in the Chinese Super League. It is precisely because of his existence that Rongcheng has maintained a stable performance in the midfield attack and defense this season.

This season, the Henan team has been struggling in the relegation zone, and the number of goals conceded was once ranked the most in the Chinese Super League. However, Brazilian central defender Maidana can be called one of the strongest foreign defenders in the first stage of the Chinese Super League, as the main central defender of the Henan team, he actually handed over 4 goals and 2 assists in the first 12 games of the Chinese Super League, becoming the golden boot of the Henan team. Moreover, these 4 goals actually took only 7 shots on goal. In the first stage of the Chinese Super League, Maidana was the defender with the most goals (4) and involved in goals (6), which alone is enough to be among the top 10 foreign players.

Henan team conceded 20 goals in 12 games, tied for the sixth fewest goals conceded in the Chinese Super League, even less than Taishan, Zhejiang and other stronger teams. The team's ranking is only 13th in the Chinese Super League, and the "inversion" of the number of goals conceded and the team's ranking in the data can reflect the defensive quality to a certain extent. However, Maidana personally made at least 3 overhead mistakes that caused the team to concede goals, and Henan only kept 2 clean sheets in 12 games, and the performance was not very consistent.

Mineiro was brought in by Shenhua for $1 million, hoping to replace Malele, one of last season's strikers. Some media and fans are not optimistic about Mineiro, but he scored a hat trick against Vissel Kobe in the third game of the season, 4 goals and 3 assists in the first 4 games of the Chinese Super League season, 7 of Shenhua's 9 goals during the participation period, and scored 9 points for Shenhua in 3 games, and was selected into the official best team of the Chinese Super League in February/March.

However, since then, Mineiro has inexplicably fallen into a slump, and the goal drought in the Chinese Super League has once again raised questions. Fortunately, since the passing victory over Meizhou Hakka in May, Mineiro has scored in three consecutive games and staged passes, totaling 4 goals and 3 assists, and has been involved in 7 of Shenhua's 10 goals. 8 goals and 5 assists in 13 games in the season, and the average participation of 1 goal per game is one of the best in the Chinese Super League. His goals and assists directly scored 10 points for Shenhua, and he successfully became the Golden Boot of Shenhua's team, and it was also the big killer for Shenhua to top the Super League in the first stage.

Aziz, who joined Qingdao West Coast this season, and former Three Towns teammate Davidson formed the strongest engine of Shao Jiayi's "dark horse" army. The team's first win of the season came when he helped the West Coast Lightning break through his old club goal in the opening four minutes; Then drew 3-3 with the defending champion Harbour, and it was his brace in the first half that once helped the team take a 3-1 lead; 2-2 Tianjin Jinmen Tigers at home, he assisted twice to help the team get 1 point; In the last round, he drew with the powerful Chengdu Rongcheng, and it was his equalizing goal that helped the team take away a point from the away.

With six goals and four assists, he was the team's best goal and assist, and Aziz was involved in half of the 20 goals on the West Coast. His excellent performance is also the key to the West Coast's ability to make it to the top half despite having a game less.

In the first stage of this season, Rongcheng was able to enter the championship team strongly, and the defense line that only conceded 8 goals in 13 league games contributed greatly. Dutch centre-back Teemo is at the heart of the city's defence and has improved from last year's arrival. In April's six Super League games, Rongcheng only conceded 3 goals and kept 3 clean sheets, and Teemo, who led the Rongcheng defense, was shortlisted for the best team of the Chinese Super League in April without any suspense. Defensively, they not only won six tackles, but also created as many as five chances in attack to break through the defending champions Harbour Gate and give Glory all three points on the road. In 13 rounds of the Chinese Super League, Temo has scored two goals, just one goal short of the previous career record for goals scored in a single season.

In the 2023 season, when Teemo played for Gwangju FC, he played with the team to No. 3 in the team's all-time high rankings, and unfortunately missed out on the K1 League Team of the Season. In the first 13 rounds of the Chinese Super League, Sofascored included Teemo in the best team of a single round four times. If Rongcheng's results continue to improve this season and the defensive performance remains stable, Timo has a good chance of being in the Super League Team of the Season.

Spanish striker Keles joined at the beginning of the year for a transfer fee of 1 million euros, and the new season has almost seamlessly integrated into the Jinmen Tigers. In the opening 5 games, he scored twice in 3 Super League games, and his performance was amazing. Nine goals and three assists in 13 Super League games, including five goals and two assists in six games in April, creating 11 chances. Six games were opened for the Jinmen Tigers, and 12 goals were involved, accounting for 60% of all the goals scored by the Jinmen Tigers. His goals and assists earned the Tigers 10 points and were the best performers in the first period.

Unfortunately, due to the impact of rotation, Kiles' form declined after the Jinmen Tigers' heavy defeat to Harbour in mid-April, with only 2 goals and 2 assists in 7 games, a significant decline from 7 goals and 1 assist in the previous 6 games. Although with five goals in three games in 10 days at the beginning of April, Keles was selected as the best team of the Chinese Super League in April. However, since the end of April, the Jinmen Tigers have lost 3 of 5 games, compared with 6 unbeaten games at the beginning of the season, and the decline in Keles' goalmouth efficiency is the main reason. Scoring against Changchun Yatai before the break is good news for both Keles and Jinmen Tigers.

Shandong Taishan started poorly this season, falling behind the top Shenhua by as many as 11 points after 13 rounds and falling out of the championship group. However, Georgian midfielder Kazaishvili performed well, with eight goals and four assists in 13 games this season, surpassing Cressan to become the team's golden boot. In the 8 games in which he participated in the goal, the Taishan team scored 17 points with 5 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, more than 80% of all points. Among them, the hat-trick of the midfielder against Zhejiang in the 12th round was the second "hat-trick" of Kazaishvili's career, the last time was when he played in the Eredivisie in 2014.

Less than half of the season has been involved in 12 goals (eight goals, four assists), almost as much as last season combined (seven goals, six assists combined with 13 goals). If Cressan was the "thigh" of the Tarzan team last season, this season the "thigh" of the Tarzan team was replaced by Kazaishvili. The Georgian midfielder's previous peak attacking stats were 14 goals and seven assists (2014/15), when he scored nine goals and five assists in a single season in the Eredivisie with Vitesse, and the most league goals in a single season was 11 goals (in the K1 League in 2022). If injury is not affected this season, Kazaishvili is expected to set two new career records for goals scored and goals involved.

Fabio was the best foreign striker in the first phase of the Chinese Super League, with eight goals and four assists in 12 league games, with an average of one goal per game. In the difficult stage when the new coach Setien was running in tactics with the team and being suspended due to frequent injuries and suspensions, it was Fabio who ensured the relatively stable efficiency of the offensive end of Guoan. Goals scored in 7 games in 12 games, with a total of 12 goals involved, which is more than 40% of the total goals scored in the National League (28 goals). Six of the eight goals were scored to break the deadlock for Guoan, and the 12 goals involved earned nine points for Guoan. To ensure the national security, which was once short of major generals, was still in the championship team at the end of the first stage.

Fabio was selected as the best team of the Chinese Super League in April for his outstanding performance, and participated in 3 goals in a single game against Three Towns and Taishan, and 4 goals and 3 assists in 5 Super League games in April, creating 9 chances. Champions Shenhua, Rongcheng, Harbour and dark horse Yunnan Yukun all scored or assisted, and Guoan has contributed 4 goals and 1 assist after 5 consecutive wins after the run-in period. Guoan continued to compete for the title in the second half of the league, and Fabio is undoubtedly the biggest trump card.
