In fact, unfortunately, Wuhan Changjiang's relegation was greatly influenced by off-field factors. Wuhan started the match with three consecutive wins. At the time, no one would have thought that Wuhan would eventually escape relegation. The team was plagued by arrears + external debts all season long the players' morale was at a low ebb, and they couldn't get their salaries for a long time. It was hard for the players to be at their best on the pitch against their opponents. This team suffered eight consecutive defeats in the middle of the season + 11 rounds of undefeated record, although the team's lineup is considered luxurious among several relegation teams, but it is difficult to stop the momentum all the way down.
The direct factor for Wuhan's relegation must be the 9 points deducted by the FA. Due to the failure of Wuhan to make good on the arrears of wages at the two points of repayment of the arrears, Wuhan ended up being deducted 9 points, dropping them directly from 15th place in the table to the second last place, which was undoubtedly a huge blow to the team's morale. The club also reissued a certain number of arrears of wages and awards, but could not return to the sky. After the team's relegation, can the arrears of wages and external debts be resolved. If they cannot be resolved, I am afraid that the team will be in danger of disbanding and will probably not participate in next year's China First Division League.
Guangzhou's relegation was probably doomed from the start of the season. Due to well known difficulties, Guangzhou was severely bloodied this season and had to use a large number of soccer school players for the Chinese Super League. In the past, only Wei Shihao and Yang Liyu stayed with the team. In the first stage, they only won two games against Hebei. In order to achieve the goal of relegation, Zheng Zhi was recalled as the team's coach and added veterans such as Hao Junmin, Huang Bowen, Zhang Chenglin and Rong Hao with Zheng's connections, but with little success. Hao Junmin and Huang Bowen had been on the injury list and were unable to play. So far, the team has won three games, except for two against Hebei, which was Zheng's first game after taking over, a 4-1 win over Shenzhen.
Throughout the season, Guangzhou failed to win a direct match against their relegation rivals. They were killed by Wuhan Changjiang, losing and drawing one of their matches against Guangzhou. Now it seems that these matches are very important. I'm afraid the result wouldn't have been the same if they could have gotten more points, but they were also plagued by weaknesses in the team, with young players not being able to get ahead, and the eventual relegation of the eight-crown champions was unfortunate. Just like the difficulties encountered by Wuhan Changjiang, Guangzhou's future prospects are uncertain. In addition, the Guangzhou Football Association (GFA) has recently been penalized and is unable to support the Guangzhou team. The team's ability to participate in next year's China First Division remains in question, and it may well be at risk of disbanding.
As for Hebei, the relegated Hebei team may have a much more difficult time than Wuhan Changjiang and Guangzhou. They are likely to be the first to announce their dissolution. All in all, today's Chinese soccer is really a chicken feather. The results of the gold dollar soccer counterattack have gradually appeared. I am afraid that more teams will fall into crisis in the future. Even if the dust settles in the Chinese Super League and Chinese Super League rankings, who can guarantee that these teams will be in the league next season? (DD)
