On the evening of June 8, Chengdu Rongcheng played their last home game in June. As a result, Chengdu Rongcheng drew 0-0 with Tianjin Jinmen Tigers in the 12th round of the Chinese Super League, without a number of starters such as Romulo and Kim Hin-Woo.

Ties set by Guangzhou Evergrande in 2015
Back-to-back undefeated Super League records!
In the next round, Chengdu Rongcheng will visit Shenzhen on June 29 to take a shot at the exclusive record!
Phoenix Hill Sports Park tonight
It's still crowded.
The circle of friends has been swept away again
Only Chengdu Rongcheng and Tianjin Jinmenhu were undefeated in the Chinese Super League before this round. Chengdu Rongcheng is ranked second in the CSL with six wins and five draws, while Tianjin Jinmenhu is fourth with four wins and seven draws.
Unfortunately, Chengdu Rongcheng was short of generals in this round of home games against Tianjin Jinmen Tigers - in the last round of the league, the core of Chengdu Rongcheng's offense, Luo Muluo, retired with a serious injury from the beginning of the match, and Feng Zhuoyi was sent off with a red card in the second half of the match. Although Chengdu Rongcheng took the three points at home in the harbor as the "Tiger's Mouth", but also paid a huge price. While Feng Zhuoyi was suspended, Romulo was diagnosed with a ruptured ACL in his left knee and had to undergo surgery and take a long rest.
Previously, Red Star News reported that Romulo first wanted to go back to Brazil for surgery, but teammates such as Tang Miao and Gan Chao, who were having surgery in Germany, suggested that it would be best for him to go to Germany for better treatment and recovery. According to the Red Star News reporter, Romulo has not yet finalized his decision. Fortunately, the team's team doctor specializes in orthopedics. Before Romulo has surgery, he can use some conservative treatments to help ease his injury.
Even under the best case scenario, Romulo will be out for at least a couple of months, not ruling out the possibility of being reimbursed for all of the season. Knowing this, Chengdu fans are prepared to offer their condolences to Romulo in a variety of ways ahead of tonight's game. The "Red Blades" fans will be writing a Romulo song in just a few days and posted a video of the song on the association's official account yesterday.
The stands of the "Red Blades" fan club were decorated with red and white plastic bags spelling out "R10" (Romulo No. 10), and in the 10th minute of the match, the fans stood up unannounced and chanted Romulo's name to the beat of the drums. It was a very powerful and heartwarming scene. Romulo also applauded from the stands with his hands up in the air, showing his gratitude to the fans.

26 consecutive undefeated rounds in the Super League.
What kind of concept is that?
It can be said that since the establishment of the Chinese Super League in 2004, only Guangzhou Evergrande at the peak of the "Evergrande Dynasty" (Guangzhou Evergrande won the Chinese Super League and the AFC Championship in 2015) has achieved this feat.
In 2015, Guangzhou Evergrande, led by Lippi's coaching staff, boasted new and old internationals such as Zeng Cheng, Feng Xiaoting, Liu Jian, Li Xuepeng, Rong Hao, Zhang Linmiao, Zheng Zhi, Zhao Xu Ri, Zheng Long, Yu Hanchao, Song Lin and others. Foreigners included Kim Yingquan, Paulinho, Gaolat, Robinho, Ackerson and Allan (Ackerson and Allan were not yet naturalized at the time).
In the fourth round of the 2015 season, Guangzhou Evergrande suffered its first loss in the league with a 1-2 defeat away to Henan Jianye, which was also the team's only loss this season. In the next 26 rounds of matches, Guangzhou Evergrande achieved an undefeated record of 17 wins and 9 draws, thus setting a record of 26 consecutive undefeated rounds in the Chinese Super League. Fans initially expected Guangzhou Evergrande to continue to show an undefeated record the following year, but in the first round of the 2016 season, Guangzhou Evergrande suffered a 1-2 away defeat to Chongqing Lifan, stopping the undefeated streak at 26 games.
