The Shenzhen soccer team has a strong record in their recent warm-up matches, showing strong athleticism in four consecutive matches. First they shook hands with Shijiazhuang Kung Fu, who finished fourth in last season's Central League, with the score set at 0-0. They followed that up with last year's Chinese soccer champions, Yunnan Yukun, with the two sides eventually shaking hands in a 2-2 draw.
In these four warm-up matches, Shenzhen also beat Shijiazhuang Kung Fu and Jinan Xingzhou by 2-1 scores. It is worth mentioning that Jinan Xingzhou, as a promotion horse in the 2023 season of the Central League, had a strong run to the first division in the 2022 season of the Central League B with an undefeated record of 4 wins, 1 draw and 9 goals conceded with only 2 goals.
Looking back at the 2022 season of the Chinese Super League, Shenzhen managed to survive relegation with 9 wins, 3 draws, 22 losses, 29 goals scored and 74 goals conceded, accumulating 30 points and finishing in 14th place. However, in the journey of the new season, they encountered unprecedented difficulties. However, it is gratifying that in the second batch of clubs announced by the CFA to complete the debt clearance list, Shenzhen team is listed among them, and is expected to successfully complete the access procedures.
