Beijing time July 14th news, 2022 season, the first phase of the league has ended the fight, 18 teams played 10 rounds of games, the general situation has been clear, this season due to well-known reasons, and two teams have been completely relegated to relegation, in addition to the other team in Guangzhou, as well as, will also be for the relegation of the fight. This season, the number of relegation spots in the Chinese Super League has expanded to three, and after nearly a third of the schedule, it looks like there are already teams close to one of those three spots.
Guangzhou City
Guangzhou City has been suffering from salary arrears and foreign aid problems this season, and their performance after 10 rounds is not even as good as that of Guangzhou and Hebei, who have all Chinese teams. If you don't count the theoretical 3 points they got from their appeal to Dalian, Guangzhou City has suffered 10 consecutive defeats in 10 rounds of matches, scoring only 5 goals and conceding 26, making them the representative of the former Southern School a team to be bullied by everyone, and I'm afraid that even Guangzhou City's fans wouldn't have thought of it before the season.
If Guangzhou City could still attribute their loss in the first 5 rounds to the lack of foreign aid, after the 6th round, Caldona came to the rescue of the team, but with little effect, the team's morale had already been beaten to death, and I'm afraid that relying on one or two foreign aiders won't be of any substantial help to Guangzhou City.
The team's biggest problem at the moment is not really the strength of the players, but the players' morale has been flattened, "10 consecutive defeats" on the field, not to mention the problem, the off-field problems have not been resolved in Guangzhou City, the players will not concentrate on the game. The stock reform has stalled, hope is almost lost, the wages in arrears can not be made up, even if we survive the time stipulated by the Football Association to clear the arrears, the wages to make up for it is also a drop in the bucket. With no hope in sight, Guangzhou City will continue their losing streak in the second phase if nothing else.
Hebei
Despite the fact that Hebei has no foreign aid, they are in a slightly better position than Guangzhou City. After 10 rounds, Hebei has 1 win and 9 losses to rank second from the bottom, and their only win came in the 7th round of the league, relying on Zhang Wei's two goals to beat the team 2-1, and the first 10 rounds of Hebei's five goals, all from the 00-year-old youngster.
Compared to Guangzhou City, Hebei is stronger in terms of player morale despite having the same number of points and only one win. In the first 10 rounds of matches, Hebei suffered from a lack of strength in their players, but on the field they were full of vigor, with many U23 youngsters making up for the team's technical and tactical deficiencies by running around with great physical strength.
Hebei's biggest problem at the moment, also from off the field, due to the team suffered serious salary arrears, although the players are still on the field to do their best, but if they can't finish clearing the arrears in time, Hebei team is afraid to face the punishment of penalty points. The Football Association published a notice a few days ago, requiring clubs to solve the arrears of wages before July 31, 2022, no less than 30% of the total, before October 31, 2022, no less than 70% of the total, before December 31, 2022, to solve all the arrears of wages. Clubs that fail to complete repayment of no less than 30% of the total amount of salary arrears for the 2021 season and before by July 31, 2022 will be banned from registering new players in the second transfer window of the 2022 season and penalized with a deduction of three league points. I wonder if this 30% of salary arrears will be the only straw that crushes Hebei.
