Changchun Yatai's performance this season is like a roller coaster, initially Chen Yang coaching more than a series of defeats, and Xie Hui took over the baton after the situation instantly reversed. Following the loss of Meizhou Hakka, Changchun Yatai has accumulated 24 points, an average of only 1 point per round, and the bottom of the ranking of Qingdao West Coast is only 2 points difference, a difference may change the ranking. Xie Hui empathizes with the pressure of relegation, and last year he coached a team that nearly slipped into the abyss of relegation, Dalian People. Qingdao West Coast, Cangzhou Lions and Shenzhen New Pengcheng have all adopted their own relegation strategies.
After Shao Jiayi's new job, Qingdao West Coast is gaining momentum, Cangzhou Lions hired Artemisia Junmin as an assistant coach to assist Li Xiaopeng, Shenzhen New Pengcheng is well-funded, and each team has a careful layout. Only Changchun Yatai in a difficult situation, foreign aid Zui due to additional suspension needs to miss four games, plus the red card suspension, can only participate in the last three rounds of the Chinese Super League. Wang Jinxian suffered a broken rib and Tan Long suffered an orbital fracture, while Xie Hui failed to effectively utilize his current squad. Yatai was expected to consolidate their points ahead of schedule, but old problems remained unresolved, leading to a sluggish performance.
Dalian were unlucky to be relegated last year, can Ateneo avoid that fate this year? Tan Long is expected to wear a mask for the game, but that could affect his performance. With eight teams fighting for relegation in the Chinese Super League this year, the competition is extremely fierce. Yatai had been relegated in the 2018 season at an advantage. To prepare for the Chinese Super League, they not only warmed up with the Jinmen Tigers, but also arranged at least two matches to test the lineup. It can be seen that Xie Hui is feeling the urgency of the relegation situation, and leading the team to relegation for two consecutive seasons will undoubtedly cause a heavy blow to his coaching career and multiply the pressure.
