Last season, China B champions Chongqing Tongliang Dragons amassed seven points to finish third after beating Jiangxi Lushan 4-0 at home. With foreign scorer Tabek also getting his first goal, the newly promoted horse is full of firepower and one of the super favorites.
So far, after four rounds of battles, the top three in the Central League are all newly promoted polo teams. While they may not ultimately succeed in overtaking, they will certainly make the competition for overtaking even more intense and brutal this season.
Guangxi Pingguo Ha Rang Guojing, another favorite to overtake the Super League, relied on Gao Jiarun's header to beat Wuxi Wu Hook 1-0 at home and gained three valuable points, becoming one of the four teams with seven points. In the next round, Guangxi Army will challenge Shijiazhuang Kungfu on the road, which is a hard battle for the beyond trend.
Shijiazhuang Kung Fu is the first team to fire their manager this season. It is evident that they are also full of desire to reach the Super League. Recently, the selection of a new coach is in full swing, and well-known coaches including Xie Hui have become popular candidates. From the last two rounds of Shijiazhuang Kung Fu's 2-1 away win over Jiangxi Lushan and 2-0 home win over Qingdao Red Lions, it is clear that this team is still super-capable, especially with veteran Wang Song's performance, which is still very stable. If a new coach is in place, their overall fighting power is expected to improve further.
Currently, Shanghai Jiading Huilong, Yanbian Long Ding totaled 1 win, 2 draws, 1 loss 5 points, ranked 7th. and 8th, compared with last season, a steady rise. Five teams, Wuxi Wu Hook, Nanjing City, Qingdao Red Lions, Heilongjiang Bingcheng and Guangzhou, with a total of four points, are ranked from 9th to 13th. among them, Nanjing City, who had the idea of surpassing, had a sluggish start.
After three consecutive draws, the Foshan Southern Lions suffered their first loss in this round and after four rounds are ranked 14th, a long way from their final ranking of 7th last season.
Liaoning Ironmen are making up for the new season and are in the relegation zone with only 2 points after 4 rounds and in 15th place, which is a bit unexpected. It seems this team determined to go beyond needs to keep working hard.
Jiangxi Lushan is at the bottom of the table with 1 point in 4 rounds. It is a danger signal. As there is no way to make up for returning to the Central League if relegated again.
