Recalling CSL Champions

Let’s see, the 2024 Chinese Super League champion was likely Shanghai Port, right? They were champions in 2023 too, with Shandong Taishan as the runner-up. It seems like Shanghai Shenhua might also have finished strong, possibly being the runner-up in 2024 as well. To be thorough, I should compile a historically accurate list of champions and runners-up from 2004 to 2024. If I can’t get it perfect, maybe I could summarize team performances instead. Accuracy is key!Considering User Requests

I could propose compiling a year-by-year list of Chinese Super League runner-ups if the user confirms that's what they want. It looks like the network sandbox is enabled, but I’m unsure about the specific settings. I know I shouldn't use the network unless necessary, so maybe I should ask a clarifying question first. The user mentioned a hypothesis, so I should provide a clean summary of the runner-ups from 2004 to 2024 instead.Reconstructing CSL Runner-Ups

I need to ensure accuracy while reconstructing the CSL runner-ups by year.

In 2004, Shenzhen Jianlibao was champion, and I recall Shandong Luneng being the runner-up.

For 2005, Dalian Shide was the champion, and I believe Shanghai Shenhua was the second.

In 2006, Shandong Luneng ruled again with Shanghai Shenhua as the runner-up.

In 2007, Changchun Yatai triumphed, while Beijing Guoan followed as second.

For 2008, it was Shandong Luneng again, and I think Shanghai Shenhua came in second.

And for 2009, Beijing Guoan was champion, with Changchun Yatai possibly as the runner-up.Continuing with CSL Runner-Ups

For 2009, I remember Beijing Guoan was first, with Changchun Yatai as the runner-up. In 2010, Shandong Luneng took the championship, and Tianjin Teda was second.

In 2011, Guangzhou Evergrande won for the first time, while Beijing Guoan finished second.

For 2012, Guangzhou Evergrande again held the top spot, with Jiangsu Sainty as the runner-up. In 2013, Evergrande won once more, and Shandong Luneng followed them.

In subsequent years, Evergrande continued to dominate, with notable runner-ups like Shanghai SIPG and Guan Zhou. The 2020 tournament was unique due to COVID, leading to Jiangsu Suning as champions and Guangzhou Evergrande second.Summarizing CSL Runner-Up Data

I'm gathering memory on Shanghai Shenhua's runner-up history. They were confirmed second in 2005, 2006, 2008, and potentially 2009, but there's some uncertainty around those years.

I noted that Shenhua now ties with other teams in total runner-up counts. It seems accurate that they have five, surpassing Beijing Guoan and Shandong Taishan, which both have four.

To clarify, I should ask the user how they’d like this presented: via a detailed yearly list, a leaderboard, or a short news summary. I can also check counts if the user wants!
