Qingdao Hainiu and Shenzhen Xinpengcheng, who are trapped in the relegation whirlpool, have the same 26 points in the table, and a life-and-death battle for relegation is about to start. For Qingdao Manatee, the only way to get rid of the passivity is to win all three points, otherwise, the future will have to look at the face of others.
Although Cangzhou Lions are 3 points ahead of the relegation zone with 29 points, they seem to be solid, but they are actually walking on thin ice. At this delicate moment, the match with Qingdao Hainiu will undoubtedly be a war without smoke. Qingdao Sea Bulls, who have failed to collect any points in three consecutive matches, urgently need to break the deadlock, while head coach Yasen and his players must operate efficiently, strengthen the offense and try to break the opponent's defense at the first time.
However, this game is far more than just a relegation battle, the old love between coaches and regional complex also added complex colors to the event. Yassen and Li Xiaopeng, two coaches who have worked together in different teams, will face off on the field today. Yassen was in charge of Shijiazhuang Yongchang, the predecessor of Cangzhou Lions, while Li Xiaopeng is a Qingdao native and coached Qingdao Hainiu (Qingdao Zhongneng).
Although emotional entanglements are hard to avoid, professional ethics make it imperative for them to go all out. Last season, Qingdao Sea Bulls beat Cangzhou Lions 1-0 on the road. Today, can Qingdao Manatees replicate this miracle and win the game 1-0 to realize their relegation dream? The answer will be revealed soon.
