The early days of the Chinese Super League are always interesting, but this year there are two big surprises as wide expectations for Guangzhou R&F and Dalian Aerbin have yet to pan out. At the same time, Qingdao, a side many thought would go down, have won their first two matches. The other Cantonese side, Guangzhou Evergrande, is once again off to a good start with two victories and an especially impressive win over Jiangsu this past weekend. Their new import, Elkeson, has really stood out, with five goals in his first two league matches. The league now goes on a two week break as the national team have an important Asian Cup qualifier against Iraq midweek.
