Before seeing the home fans, Qingdao was relegated

Reporter Chen Yong reported that this may be one of the best matches played by Qingdao this season, but unfortunately, their opponent Zhejiang team is also full of tenacity, strong desire to rush over, the two sides eventually shook hands and made peace 0-0, Qingdao team lost 0-1 on aggregate, when the opponent wantonly celebrated, Qingdao's soldiers could only tearfully bid farewell to the Chinese Super League.

This is the third time that Qingdao football bid farewell to the top league, in 1995, Qingdao football first played A, relegated that year, promoted to A the following year, after that, they competed in the top league for 17 consecutive years; in 2013, Manatee (then named Zhongneng) was relegated, from 2014 to 2019, Qingdao has no top league team, until 2020 Qingdao team to compete in the Chinese Super League.

This is a sad scene, and what is even more sad is that after the success of the super league at the end of 2019, because of the epidemic, the Chinese Super League changed to the tournament system, they have not yet played an official game in Qingdao, did not see the home fans, and returned to the Middle League.

In this game, the Qingdao team worked very hard, Yang Weijian also lined up the strongest lineup, the team once played some good offense, but two consecutive threatening shots failed to grasp.

In the second half, the two sides continued to come and go, but they could not break through the opponent's gate, in the 66th minute, Zhejiang team directly free kick hit the crossbar, after that, Qingdao team began to play for their lives, but the goal never came.

Time passed little by little, and in the end, the Qingdao team was powerless to return to heaven.

After the game, the outside world generally believed that the Qingdao team worked hard enough, and acting coach Yang Weijian also said: "The players fought from the first minute to the ninety minutes, I was very touched and thanked all the players." ”

Subsequently, Yang Weijian's words made people sad: "Qingdao is a football city, to be honest, we need a Chinese Super League team, but we did not succeed in relegation in the end, in 2022, all Qingdao footballers should work together to regain the Chinese Super League platform." ”

In the 2022 season, Qingdao suddenly has three Chinese First Division teams, in addition to relegated Qingdao, there are manatees who have been promoted directly from the middle B and Youth Island through the play-offs, in addition, Qingdao also has a Chinese Second Division team Red Lions.

Qingdao's relegation is closely related to the team's difficulties this season, on the economic level, they have been difficult, and the lack of salary has seriously affected the mentality of the players, including the 6th to 16th rounds of 11 consecutive defeats. Because of economic problems, there have been various problems at the level of foreign aid, Popovich and Urvistad both left the team in the middle of the season, leaving among the foreign aides, Radonic refused to appear in the key relegation battle and left early, and in the end, Qingdao only had three foreign aides.

In fact, Qingdao's relegation was once expected to be bright, and in the 17th round of the second stage, they ushered in a long-lost victory, but Alessandrini suffered an injury, and the hope of direct relegation was dashed, and he also missed the first leg of the play-off due to injury, which the team lost 0-1 to Zhejiang.

Of course, qingdao team relegation, unpaid wages is not the only reason, after all, many clubs have this problem, some things, club-related decision-making level needs to review.
