Last night, in a match in the 20th round of the 2021 Chinese Football Association Super League, the sixth round of the relegation group, Qingdao drew 1:1 with Wuhan, who scored 9 more points than themselves, ending a two-game losing streak.
In the other 3 matches played yesterday, Tianjin Jinmen Tiger and Henan Songshan Longmen exchanged white rolls, Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic beat Dalianren 1:0, and Shanghai Shenhua and Cangzhou Lions were tied 1:1.
With only two rounds of matches left, Qingdao, with 3 wins, 2 draws and 15 losses, is still at the bottom of the relegation group, 4 points less than the second-to-last Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, and 5 points less than dalian and chongqing Liangjiang Athletic, who are third from the bottom and fourth from the bottom.
On Friday, Qingdao will meet Tianjin JinmenHu narrowly, and if they can't defeat their opponents, they will lock in the bottom of the Chinese Super League, and will have to compete with Jody's Third Place Zhejiang Team for next season's Chinese Super League place through the promotion and relegation play-offs. On December 18, Qingdao defeated tianjin Jinmen Tigers 2:1 without being optimistic before the game, ending the unprecedented 11-game losing streak in the Chinese Super League.
Even if they can "double kill" Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Qingdao team also has the possibility of getting a ticket to the promotion and relegation play-off in the early round, because Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic and Dalian people will play against Shanghai Shenhua and Cangzhou Lions, who have announced their relegation success in advance.
All in all, Qingdao's relegation situation is already quite grim, and the team can only expect a miracle if it wants to play a promotion and relegation play-off game without taking 6 points in the last two rounds.
▲The latest standings of the Chinese Super League relegation group.
▲ In the 76th minute, receiving a corner kick from Zhou Junchen, Qingdao captain Liu Jian's header hit the upright, but the ball bounced back to Wuhan's foreign aid Anderson and entered the net, and Qingdao drew 1:1 with Wuhan.
▲ In the 2013 season, Liu Jian led Qingdao Zhongneng, who played at home as a captain, against Wuhan Zhuoer, who was basically hopeless in relegation, in the penultimate round of the Chinese Super League, and the result was that the two sides finally exchanged white papers. After that match, Wuhan Zhuoer was relegated to the Chinese First Division three rounds in advance, and Zhongneng also failed to get out of the relegation quagmire, and finally lost 0:1 to Beijing Guoan in the final round with only a draw to stay in the Chinese Super League.
▲Only by desperately trying, can you have a life! This sentence applies to the 2013 season of Zhongneng, and also applies to the current Qingdao team.
▲ In the 81st minute, Zhou Junchen shot at the Wuhan team crossbar after getting rid of the defense. If this goal is scored, Qingdao will most likely take all three points, and the relegation situation will improve.
▲ Against Wuhan team, Qingdao team appearance list. In addition to ghana's former international Badu starting out, the other three foreign players Alexandrini, Vukovic and Radonic still failed to enter the 23-man roster due to injury, which cannot help but worry Qingdao fans. Lü Peng, Ji Xiaoxuan, Zhu Ting, Wang Fei and Zhang Haochen were given the opportunity to come off the bench.
▲ In the 60th minute, Ji Xiaoxuan, who had just come off the bench, kicked down Wuhan player Zhao Hongluo, who broke the Qingdao team city on December 15, and the referee watched the video replay under the reminder of the video assistant referee, and then awarded a penalty to the Wuhan team. Anderson made it overnight, helping Wuhan to take a 1-0 lead.
▲ Qingdao team's Ruan Zhexiang defended Wuhan's international player Arthur Junmin. From July 2011 to July 2021, Arthur Junmin played for Taishan, Shandong. This season, he left Shandong Taishan halfway to switch to Wuhan, but the former locked up the Chinese Super League championship three rounds in advance. This season, Arthur Junmin has only played two games for Shandong Taishan, and the average playing time is only 10 minutes per game, so the championship won by Shandong Taishan has little to do with him.
