Chengdu Rongcheng and Zhejiang teams successfully upgraded! Along with the Chinese League One champion Wuhan Sanzhen and runner-up Meizhou Hakka, they will participate in the Chinese Super League next season.
4 Chinese League A teams were promoted to the Chinese Super League together, which is the first time in the history of Chinese football!
However, as two former Super League powerhouses Dalian and Qingdao, it seems very lonely. Falling into the second division, everything has to start all over again.
In fact, for Dalian and Qingdao teams, it is not surprising that they can have such a result.
In last season's Chinese Super League, in the first stage, Qingdao's performance was very poor, and it has been sitting firmly in the deputy squad leader of the division; while Dalian people are not much better, and the record is not ideal, which also makes the team firmly occupy the first place in the Suzhou Division. Both teams, almost all of them locked up places in the play-offs in advance.
It would have been possible to imagine two teams successfully breaking through in the relegation group, but it is still difficult to change their fate.
For Dalian people, in fact, the results were very good at one time. After the relegation group began, the team's brief winning streak gave the fans hope. But then a series of operations made the team's situation take a sharp turn, which eventually led to today's situation. Speaking of which, we have to say that its main responsibility is also attributed to head coach Jose, whose random operation, from rotation to tactical arrangement, directly disrupted the confidence of the team that was not easy to build. And the management of the team also needs to be responsible, not to mention this season, from the overall operation of recent seasons, it is difficult to say satisfactory. Although a series of big-name players have been introduced, as well as the manager, there have been too many problems in the overall management and operation that the team has always hovered in the lower half of the league and cannot return to the top.
If dalian people are relegated due to human reasons, then for the Qingdao team, it has to be said that it is providence. In fact, the paper strength of qingdao team is not strong, but the team's will to fight is still very good. Coupled with the guidance of Wu Jingui, he has always been good at relegation, so although the team may not be able to play a particularly eye-catching result, it is certainly not a big problem to want to relegate.
But throughout the season, the team has been instilled and has only won 3 games in the whole season. Not unrelated to the club's investment environment, at the beginning, eight investors jointly injected capital to support the future of the team. However, with the changes in China's football environment, various princes have withdrawn, resulting in the team losing a stable salary source, and finally a series of consecutive defeats, coupled with the super league play-off loss to Zhejiang, relegation is not incomprehensible.
At least for now, 4 Chinese League A teams have successfully participated in the Chinese Super League, and Dalian and Qingdao have been directly relegated to the Chinese First Division, which is already a foregone conclusion.
However, today's media broke the news that Dalian and Qingdao do not need to be discouraged, they must always be ready to play in the Chinese Super League. Because the situation of Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic and Hebei team is not optimistic, there is a possibility of withdrawal at any time.
Judging from the previous news, there is indeed such a possibility. The Chongqing team has not solved the problem of club investment until now, and what to do in the future is still unknown. The Hebei team is almost on the verge of collapse, although under the leadership of Kim Jong-fu, the team has achieved good results, but if it still can't find the right investors, then the fate of Hebei is also not optimistic.
In fact, not only Hebei team and Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic, except for a stable club like Shandong Taishan, other teams have more or less unpaid wages, and many teams have reached the brink of dissolution, but they are still struggling for the last hope. The former league hegemon Guangzhou team, its future where will go, everyone is also looking forward to. At least, at present, the whole team is still in the process of paying the obligation, although there are rumors of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical or GAC support, but the two major investors have never responded positively.
Therefore, including the Hebei team and the Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic Team, there is a possibility of withdrawal. And once withdrawn, then Dalian and Qingdao will definitely return to the Chinese Super League.
