On August 17, the 13th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) ended with Guangzhou City losing 2-1 to Meizhou Hakka on the road, without a win in 11 consecutive matches, a result that equaled the longest losing streak in the history of the CSL. Korean media commented that this has become the longest losing streak in the history of the Chinese Super League.
According to the article, Guangzhou City lost 11 out of 13 games in a row, but it was actually a 13-game losing streak. Among them, Guangzhou City defeated Changchun 1-4 in the first match of the Chinese Super League (CSL), and lost 0-2 to Dalian Ren in the second match, but Dalian Ren was awarded a 3-0 win to Guangzhou City due to a violation of the use of U23 players.
Following this, Guangzhou City lost 11 consecutive games and dropped to 17th place in the rankings, a string of defeats that once again highlighted the national soccer team's woes in soccer.
It's worth noting that Qingdao also suffered an 11-game losing streak in 2021, which eventually led to the team's relegation and announcement of its dissolution.
It should be clear that Guangzhou City and Guangzhou Team are not the same team. Team Guangzhou is part of the Evergrande Group, while Guangzhou City is part of the Fortune Group. Currently, Team Guangzhou, Guangzhou City, and Hebei are at the back of the relegation zone in the Chinese Super League, with 6, 3, and 3 points respectively.
