On August 5, the Chinese Super League (CSL) was in full swing, and in the 11th round, Hebei lost 0-1 to Chengdu Rongcheng, continuing to sit at the bottom of the table. Despite winning only one game in the first 11 rounds and accumulating 3 points, Hebei is not necessarily facing a relegation crisis, so why? According to the latest reports, Wuhan Changjiang FC of the Chinese Super League and Xinjiang Tianshan Xuebao FC of the Chinese First Division are both likely to withdraw from the league, and a new round of dissolution seems to be quietly fermenting.
The only goal in the game just gone occurred in the 77th minute when Felipe Silva broke the deadlock with a clever shot from a small angle to give Chengdu Rongcheng a 1-0 lead. Despite all the efforts of the Hebei team, they eventually swallowed their 10th loss of the season with a score of 0-1!
In only 11 rounds of matches, Hebei has suffered 10 defeats, with 1 win, 10 losses and 3 points, making them the real "fish-belly" of this season's Chinese Super League. Not only that, but the team's morale is also in the doldrums, and there are reports that Hebei may face a deduction in league points due to unpaid wages. As a result, Hebei's future prospects are not optimistic, and it is feared that the team will eventually slip into the relegation zone.
So, are the Riverhounds destined to play in the Central League next season? The answer may not be so. Given the current chaos in the Chinese Super League and Chinese League One, the last-placed team may not necessarily be relegated. Clubs in Wuhan and Xinjiang are reportedly on the verge of quitting the league, and there is talk that both teams could bow out midway through the season. And it's not impossible for more teams to disappear at the end of the season, as has become the norm in the current Chinese soccer landscape.
Therefore, even though they are currently at the bottom of the Chinese Super League, Hebei still has a chance of survival. Despite the team's poor condition, problems and low morale this season, if they can hold on until next season, they may still be able to turn the corner. After all, the current soccer environment is such that who can predict the next moment of change?
