In the Chinese Super League, a "second year curse" has long been shrouded, many newly promoted teams in the first season like a dark horse, the wind has no two, but in the next season but suffered Waterloo, directly into the relegation abyss. From Qingdao Yellow Sea in 2021, to Beijing Renhe in 2019, to Guizhou Hengfeng in 2018, Yanbian Fude in 2017, and Shijiazhuang Yongchang in 2016, all of these teams, without exception, said goodbye to the Chinese Super League in the second season. Now, Dalian Ren and Meizhou Hakka are also facing this test of fate, and whether they can break this spell has become the topic of focus.
The most popular relegation favorite among fans is none other than Shenzhen. The joke of this team is that almost the whole team could be a part of the relegation. This season, the team has failed to pay salaries for six consecutive months. Even with the intervention of Chen Xuyuan and Du Zhaocai, such a team still managed to survive relegation. This shows how messy the Chinese soccer world is and how amateurish the Chinese Super League is. Currently, Shenzhen has only accumulated 11 points in 13 rounds of matches, only 3 points away from the relegation zone. In the face of such a situation, those who really love soccer can't help but feel heartbroken.
Relegation battles have always been full of variables in the league, especially at the end of the season, the interests behind the entanglements become more and more complicated. Now, the relegation situation is becoming clearer, and it seems that Dalian Ren, Meizhou Hakka, Nantong Zhiyun, Qingdao Hainiu and Shenzhen are the five teams that will be the favorites to be relegated in the new season. With the summer transfer window about to open, whether the teams can take this opportunity to strengthen their strength will directly affect the relegation results of the next 17 rounds of matches. All will be revealed.
