If the fans of Chengdu Rongcheng are allowed to choose the opponents of the super league promotion and relegation play-off, Dalianren, Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic and Tianjin Jinmen Tigers are the most reluctant to choose, I am afraid that Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic. Rongyu Derby, so heavy, so tragic.
Looking at the Chinese Super League table, with one round of matches remaining, there are still 4 teams in danger of relegation. In addition to Qingdao confirming the last place and will compete for a place in the Chinese Super League with Zhejiang, the third place in the Chinese League One, the other three teams have the following points: Jinmen Hu 18 points, Chongqing 17 points, Dalian Renren 16 points. With only a maximum of 2 points between the three teams, this final round will be the ultimate battle between heaven and hell.
So, can Chongqing get rid of this embarrassing situation?
In terms of situation, Chongqing and Jinmen Tigers both have the initiative, and as long as they defeat their opponents, they will be directly relegated. The opponent of Chongqing in this round is Wuhan Zhuoer. In terms of the achievements of Chongqing and Wuhan, the two teams have won and lost each other. In the two seasons of 19 and 20 years, both teams won one game each, each took 3 points, and everyone was very happy. In the first leg of this year, the two sides drew 0-0. At that time, Li Jinyu had just taken office, scoring 10 goals in the first three games, and the limelight was in full swing. Wuhan team relegation is no longer much of a problem. In the whole game, although Wuhan had a slight advantage in possession, Chongqing was more offensive and shot more than Wuhan. The shots of Feng Jin and Fernandinho were both rejected by Wuhan goalkeeper Wang Zhifeng.
It can be seen from this that the Wuhan team will not be particularly desperate to put the Chongqing team to death. At yesterday's press conference, Li Jinyu said that the team has completed the task of this season, and the last game will do a large rotation. Although Li Zhi stressed that the players on the field will still play the last game with a professional attitude, drawing a satisfactory end to the retirement of captain Yao Hanlin, the decline in combat effectiveness after the rotation is probably an indisputable fact.
It can be seen that the opportunity is still in the hands of the Chongqing team. As long as you can beat your opponent, then you don't have to worry about the fans having to encounter the Rongyu derby.
So in terms of the immediate combat strength of the Chongqing team, can it play this game well?
Like the Qingdao team, the Chongqing team suffered a major crisis this year, many contradictions broke out in a concentrated manner, and many times on the verge of retirement. Until the last round, the problems remained unresolved and the patience of the players had reached its limit. Unable to deliver on his promises, Fernandinho was not included in the squad.
Maybe the big motorcycle will play, and the result of the last game with Shenhua will be different, and it will not be another 0-0 game that failed to score. If shenhua can be won, then the team has been relegated. But no matter how much you think about it, it is useless. The point is what to do with tomorrow's game? After two days, if things still fail to develop in a good direction, then the consequences of active downsizing cannot be predicted. What can be done in a game that requires goals without a strong fulcrum and shooter?
This is also a problem that the majority of Chongqing fans are worried about.
At the press conference, Chongqing coach Zhang Wailong had tears in his eyes and almost choked up. This scene is not unmoving. Football is football, and Chinese football is no longer just football. We look up to these Korean coaches, who owe no debt to the city, who are worthy of their faith and sincerity. We hope that Chinese football can do its own thing in a down-to-earth manner.
The game is fair, even if the result is not so fair. The game is unfair because the price behind it is completely different. The relegation war is coming, and I hope that these games can play at a professional level.
If the play-off Rongyu derby does not come true, perhaps more Chengdu fans are eager to see the Rongyu derby in next year's Chinese Super League. So can Chengdu Rongcheng win the opponent in the play-offs?
In the final round of the Chinese Super League, Dalian people played against Qingdao team, and Jinmen Tigers faced Cangzhou Lions. In terms of relegation probability, Jinmen Tiger is more dangerous. Dalian people have a great possibility of defeating Qingdao, and Jinmen Tiger to defeat Cangzhou Lion is still very difficult, if Jinmen Tiger draws cangzhou Lion, then Dalian and Jinmen Tiger points are the same, referring to the two teams against each other, Dalian people successfully relegated before Jinmen Tiger, and Jinmen Tiger ranks second to last to play the play-off.
Of course, for Chengdu Rongcheng, whether it is Dalian people or Jinmen Tigers, or Chongqing teams, it is not so easy to deal with. We'll see.
