After the Chinese Super League has entered an unprecedented winter period, many Chinese Super League clubs have now experienced unsustainable situations. Hebei team, Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic and Guangzhou team, all due to the club's serious financial situation, whether they can continue to stay in the Chinese Super League next season is still unknown.
The situation of the other club is not as bad as the above three, but they have said goodbye to the Chinese Super League in another form in advance - relegation. Needless to say, everyone knows that this club is Qingdao Team (formerly Qingdao Huanghai).
As one of the first teams to be exposed to have a problem with unpaid wages, Qingdao Club seems to have already made up its mind not to continue playing in the Chinese Super League.
As a result, Qingdao suffered a humiliating 8 consecutive defeats in the first stage of the league last season, while in the second stage of the league they only won one game.
Therefore, qingdao team also locked a place to participate in the Super League One play-offs early. And they also lost to Zhejiang 0-1 in the super league play-offs with two legs and were relegated to the chinese league.
In fact, Qingdao's relegation to the Middle League again has long been expected by many fans. Because, at that time, the Yellow Sea Club had no intention of rushing to overtake, but after becoming the host city of the Asian Cup, for the sake of face, Qingdao team barely rushed into the Chinese Super League in the 2019 season.
Returning to the Chinese First Division, the biggest benefit for Qingdao team is that it can greatly save the club's expenses. In such a situation, many of the main players will also leave the team next season.
The first to bear the brunt were the three foreign players in the team: Alessandrini, Vukovic and Radović. The contracts of the three foreign players with Qingdao clubs expired at the end of last year, so they did not help Qingdao play all the Chinese Super League this season, and left the team before Christmas last year.
From the current situation, even if these 3 foreign assistants continue to play in China next season, they will certainly not return to Qingdao.
In terms of domestic players, Zhou Junchen and Zhu Jianrong will definitely leave Qingdao next season, because they themselves are on loan from Shanghai Shenhua. When the Shenhua team, which begins to fully rebuild next season, is hiring people, it should not rent the two out of company again.
Moreover, as players with the strength to play in the Chinese Super League, Zhou Junchen and Zhu Jianrong will certainly not be willing to play in the Chinese First League with Qingdao next season.
In addition, Ji Xiaoxuan, a striker who shined in Qingdao in the second stage of the league, is also likely to leave the team next season.
Ji Xiaoxuan, who played for Ligue 2 side Auxerre for two seasons, returned to the Chinese Super League to join Qingdao in April last year. In the first stage of the league, Ji Xiaoxuan was not reused by Qingdao's then coach Wu Jingui.
It was not until after Wu Jingui's resignation that Yang Weijian became the interim coach of the Qingdao team that Ji Xiaoxuan was able to enter the main team of the team. In the last 5 rounds of the Chinese Super League last season, Ji Xiaoxuan entered the starting lineup four times and played a full 90 minutes of matches.
In the match against Qingdao and Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Ji Xiaoxuan won two yuan to help Qingdao defeat the Jinmen Tigers 2-1, which was also the only victory that Qingdao won in the second stage of the league.
Ji Xiaoxuan proved himself with his outstanding performance in the league, as a player with ideals and ambitions, I believe that he will not be willing to lie dormant in the Chinese League A in the year of playing. With his ability and form, joining a Chinese Super League team at the middle and lower levels in the new season should not be too much of a problem.
Judging from the current situation of the club, the departure of the above 6 players is only the beginning, and I believe that there will be more main players leaving Qingdao in the future. And the Qingdao team, which has lost many main players, whether it can retain its position in the Middle League next season has also drawn a big question mark in the hearts of a large number of fans...
