On January 13, Beijing time, the news from the well-known domestic media "Tianjin Daily" because the prospects of the Chinese Super League teams are not optimistic. Dalian and Qingdao (Yellow Sea), who have just been relegated to the Chinese League One, are expected to substitute for the Chinese Super League in the new season.
In the previously concluded Chinese Super League relegation play-offs, Dalian lost 1-2 on aggregate to Chengdu Rongcheng, the fourth place in the Chinese League, while Qingdao lost 0-1 to Zhejiang. As a result, there will be four promotion horses in the Chinese Super League next season, while the two major domestic "football cities" Qingdao and Dalian will not have any Chinese Super League teams for the time being.
However, Qingdao and Dalian fans may not be sad for too long, although Dalian and Qingdao have been relegated, they still have the possibility of making up for it. At present, Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic, Hebei team and other Chinese Super League teams, the prospects are not optimistic. Especially for the Hebei team, the club is currently encountering unprecedented difficulties. At the end of the second stage, several main players refused to train because of unpaid wages. Next season, Hebei does have the possibility of disbanding.
If Chongqing and Hebei really give up participating in the new season, according to the rules, any relegation club in the Chinese Super League is not admitted, resulting in a vacancy in the Chinese Super League club, according to the Chinese Super League ranking, it is not enough to make up for it in the Chinese First Division. That is, (1) Dalian people; (2) Qingdao; (3) Nantong Zhiyun; (4) Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic; (5) Heilongjiang Bingcheng; (6) Sichuan Jiuniu.
Dalian and Qingdao will be the top two teams in the relegation picks. If Dalian and Qingdao return to the Chinese Super League, then the Chinese Super League will not be relegated for two consecutive seasons. Last season, the only relegated team, cangzhou lions (Shijiazhuang Yongchang), successfully returned to the Chinese Super League due to the dissolution of Chinese Super League champions Jiangsu Suning. The previous season, the dissolution of Tianjin Tianhai also allowed Shenzhen Kaisa to make up for the competition, and only the bottom Beijingers and relegations.
