On November 3, Beijing time, in the 23rd round of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Hebei's division lost 0-6 to Chengdu Rongcheng, setting a new record for the longest losing streak in the history of the CSL. Before the match, Hebei players had put up banners to ask the club for their long-delayed unpaid salaries. Young goalkeeper Liu Runnan had to be called into action after star goalkeeper Bao Yaxiong was injured in the final round of the tournament. And because the two replacement goalkeeper is still in isolation, can not arrive in time to the game area, Hebei team had to send only 18-year-old Wang Niancheng as a goalkeeper. Before the game, the team photo, Hebei players suddenly unfolded banner, which conspicuously wrote: "China happiness, return my players sweat money!" This is not the first time that Hebei players have publicly demanded their salaries. As early as October 26, they released an open letter through social media, pointing out that the club has been in arrears for three years, and although the salaries of the coaches, foreign aiders and staff can be paid on time, the wages of local players have been in arrears for a long time. Faced with such a predicament, Hebei lost again in the match against Chengdu Rongcheng with a score of 0-6. After the match, acting leader Chen Jieqiong expressed his gratitude for the players' efforts in just one sentence at the press conference: "Thank you for the players' efforts ......" The conference ended quickly because no one asked any questions. For the Hebei team, after this loss, the team's losing streak this season has reached 16 games, refreshing the longest losing streak in the history of the Chinese Super League. Throughout the season, Hebei won only 23 games, including a 2-1 victory over Wuhan Changjiang in the 7th round. (Sohu Sports Pei Li)
