Interpretation of the results of the Chinese Super League promotion and relegation matches
The second round of the play-offs for the 2021 Chinese Super League Central League promotion and relegation kicked off in a passionate contest yesterday. Unsurprisingly, Dalian People and Qingdao failed to escape relegation, while four Central League teams were promoted to the Super League. Dalian People lost to Chengdu Rongcheng 0:1 at home, with a total score of 1:2, and fell into the Central A. Zhejiang and Qingdao ended in a 0:0 draw, and Qingdao lost with a total score of 0:1, and was also relegated to the Central A.
Jiangyin Sports Center witnessed the match between Dalian People and Chengdu Rongcheng. In the end, Dalian People lost by 0:1. In the 72nd minute, Chengdu Rongcheng's foreigner Romulo scored a brilliant goal to seal the victory. After the match, Dalian Ren was relegated and Chengdu Rongcheng entered the Chinese Super League.
In the other focus game, Zhejiang team battled with Qingdao team at home. In the first round of the match, Zhejiang took a 1:0 lead. However, both teams failed to score yesterday, and in the end, Zhejiang returned to the Chinese Super League, while Qingdao was relegated again.
It is reported that the Chinese Super League will expand to 18 teams next season. Therefore, in addition to the top two teams of the Central League, Wuhan Sanzhen and Meizhou Hakka, who were directly promoted, the third and fourth places of the Central League also succeeded in yesterday's match to promote to the next season of the Super League.
In 2014, Dalian Albin, the predecessor of the Dalian People, was relegated from the Chinese Super League, and it was not until 2018 that the team returned to the Chinese Super League by virtue of its status as the champion of the Central League. However, in the 2018 season, the Dalian People were once again caught in the relegation whirlpool, and finally defeated Changchun Yatai at home in the final round 2:0 to successfully relegate; in the 2019 season, the team was ranked 9th, with a slight upturn; in the 2020 season, the Dalian People were successfully relegated by virtue of eliminating Shijiazhuang Yongchang in two rounds. After a four-year career in the Chinese Super League, the Dalian People were thrilled to be relegated three times, but ultimately failed to hold on this year.
The Chinese Super League will expand to 18 teams next season, leaving Changchun Yatai alone in the Northeast as China's sports hotbed.
