In the 10th round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Wuhan Sanzhen beat Shanghai Seaport 1-0 with Liu Yiming's precise header, achieving a double kill against their opponents, and at the same time won 7 consecutive victories to stay at the top of the table. After the match, Wuhan Sanzhen Club still maintained its usual low-profile style, and the official release was only the match report and the content of the post-match conference, without too much boasting. Head coach Pedro gave a succinct review of the match and summarized his team's performance in the conference, "The first stage of the tournament was extremely tough, and every player put in a great effort. I hope that in the future, the players can continue to maintain this state, uphold a humble attitude, and fight for every game step by step." This low-profile, humble newcomer to the Chinese Super League has made a name for itself in just over a month. !

In the first 10 rounds of matches, Wuhan Three Town beat Hebei 4-0, swept Guangzhou 6-0, drew with Shenhua 1-1, beat Changjiang 3-1, beat Seaport 2-1, beat Hebei 5-0 again, beat Guangzhou 2-1, beat Shenhua 4-2, beat Changjiang 5-0 again and beat Seaport 1-0.

In 10 rounds of matches, Wuhan Three Town scored 33 goals, leading the Chinese Super League, 10 goals more than Henan Songshan Longmen, who scored the second highest number of goals.

In the first 10 rounds of matches, Wuhan Sanzhen's ball possession rate of 55.7% ranked third in the Chinese Super League, only behind Shanghai Harbor and Shandong Taishan; 6,437 touches, 4,641 passes, and a pass success rate of 83.6%, also ranked third in the Chinese Super League. On the offensive side, Wuhan Sanzhen created 138 chances, ranking second in the Chinese Super League, only after Shandong Taishan's 141 chances; one-on-one success rate of 52.9%, ranking third in the Chinese Super League. On the defensive side, Wuhan Sanzhen had 5 shutouts, ranking second in the Chinese Super League, second only to Shandong Taishan's 6; the success rate of stealing was 47.4%, ranking second in the Chinese Super League; 54 shots were taken, ranking the least in the Chinese Super League, and only 28 shots were taken, ranking third in the Chinese Super League, and the success rate of saves was 78.6%, ranking first in the Chinese Super League. However, the figures of 119 clearances and 77 interceptions are slightly embarrassing, ranking 15th and 16th in the Chinese Super League, which may be a hidden problem for Wuhan Sanzhen in the defensive end, but it is also related to the team's superb offensive suppression. Except for the ultra-low possession rate in the two matches against Shanghai Seaport, Wuhan Three Town's possession rate was superior in all other matches, and in the second round of the match with Wuhan Changjiang, the possession rate was as high as 74.5%. Therefore, when the team's offense is in a state of complete suppression, it is relatively normal to have fewer clearances and interceptions. !

On June 2, at the press conference before the first round of the Chinese Super League, a reporter asked whether the team vigorously introduced players this year to the idea of winning the championship, manager Pedro said: "The team's goal is always to focus on the next game, as a Chinese Super League newcomer, we have to put a low profile, but it will not change the team's attitude to play every game with all their might.
