As the drums of the seventh round of the Chinese Super League are about to beat, the smoke of the relegation battle is getting thicker and thicker. 7 p.m. on April 21, Henan footballers will face Qingdao Sea Bulls, who have just tasted victory, which may be a life-and-death test for the Nanji team. If there is no success in this battle, the possibility of a change of team manager will be inevitable, otherwise they may repeat the mistakes of the past relegation. Henan's predicament this year can be described as all-encompassing. With Kovic back in action for the next round of the tournament, Huang Zichang and Wang Shangyuan deserve to take their starting positions, and they see this game as their last hurrah. The short break of three days has also soothed the players' nerves.
Changchun Yatai is currently at the bottom of the table, and coach Chen Yang seems to be experiencing "bad luck". However, given the number of years he has been in charge of Yatai, it is unlikely that he will be dismissed easily. He will face the challenge of second-placed Wuhan Sanzhen in the next round of fixtures. If not for Zou Dehai's injury in the previous match, Yatai would have been expected to score at home. While two foreigners, Beric and Serginho, are unable to play due to suspension, center back Rosic will be back in a month. In the next match, Changchun Yatai can only rely on two foreigners, Zui and Guilherme.
This year's relegation situation in the Chinese Super League seems to be more interesting than the championship battle. Every five rounds of the Chinese Super League is an important watershed, and now after six rounds, the contrast between the strength of the teams is becoming clearer. Last year, the Zhejiang team had a rough start, but eventually succeeded in the top four. On the other hand, Henan and Changchun Yatai, two traditional powerhouses, have struggled to win despite having strong foreign aid. Perhaps a change of manager is the key to changing their status quo. Henan's controversial team, the fans are quite critical of the performance of the post-game thanksgiving session, Li Wei Feng is also criticized. As to whether the coach will face the fate of Nan Ji Yi's dismissal, this is not something that can be easily decided, because his contract has not yet touched the termination clause, the liquidated damages is also a lot of money.
