On the banks of the Yangtze River, Wuhan faced the challenge of Dalian, and the light of the home field seemed to add color to their battlefield. However, the players' physical recovery has become the key. If all the core players return, Wuhan Changjiang may be able to turn the game around and clear the gloom. Looking ahead to the next round, Guangzhou will face Shenzhen and Cangzhou Lions. Shenzhen intends to bring out their youth, while Cangzhou doesn't seem to be interested in fighting. If Guangzhou can overcome the tough opponents, there may be a chance of survival on the road to relegation.
Guangzhou themselves, will be competing against Changchun Yatai and Meizhou Hakka. Yatai also chose to use young players, while Meizhou has a full squad. Guangzhou have a chance to take advantage of this, but they must first get past Guoan to avoid further widening the gap with Guangzhou City. Wuhan Changjiang's opponents are Zhejiang and Chengdu Rongcheng, with a tough schedule and strong opponents, and there is a lot of suspense as to whether they can affect the qualification for the AFC Champions League. In such adversity, it is not easy for Wuhan Changjiang to score.
Not to be overlooked is that the relegation battle, Guangzhou City appeared to be proactive, Guangzhou team still has a ray of hope, while Wuhan Yangtze River's relegation road can be described as thorny. Meanwhile, the CFA has re-emphasized that teams in arrears must settle all historical debts before December 31st. If they fail to do so, not only will their scores be affected, but they may even face the risk of being disqualified from registration. Wuhan Changjiang has already been deducted points this season, and if they fail to solve the debt problem, they may lose their professional league qualification. It's not just about Wuhan Changjiang, China A and China B in the Chinese Super League are also facing serious challenges. If the rules are strictly enforced, the three tiers of the league may see a major restructuring in 2023.
