It's 0-4 again, the dark horse at the beginning of the season has become a dead horse, from the beginning of the 3 consecutive wins to the current 11 rounds of winless, the results have also changed from the beginning of the Super League to the relegation zone, coach Zhao Junzhe is powerless!
The Cangzhou Lions have been a regular in the relegation zone for several seasons, and in the past two years, there have been repeated rumors of the club's lack of funds, and some excellent foreign players are difficult to retain. The 2024 season will be equally difficult for the Cangzhou Lions, and relegation is still a problem for them.
Surprisingly, the Cangzhou Lions, under the leadership of Zhao Junzhe in the early stage, only lost the first 6 games to Beijing Guoan 0-2 in the first 6 games. The second game defeated Chengdu Rongcheng 1-0, the third game drew 2-2 with the promoted horse Shenzhen Xinpeng City, and then in the fourth to sixth games, it defeated the former Chinese Super League champion Wuhan Three Towns 3-2, defeated Qingdao West Coast 2-0, and defeated Changchun Yatai 3-2.
With 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in 6 rounds of games, 13 points, Cangzhou Lions have been regarded as a big dark horse by fans, and fans of Cangzhou Lions have begun to look forward to no longer worrying about the team's relegation. Unexpectedly, after being bloodied by Shandong Taishan 4-1 in the 7th round, the Cangzhou Lions were completely beaten back to their original shape, and the next 10 rounds of games were 2 draws and 8 losses. The two games that drew were still against Meizhou Hakka and Nantong Zhiyun in the relegation zone, and these two teams are now one from the bottom and one from the third.
In the last round against Beijing Guoan, the Cangzhou Lions lost by 4 goals. In this round of away challenges to Chengdu Rongcheng, due to the 1-0 victory in the first round of the competition, there is a certain psychological advantage, hoping to reverse the decline. Who knew that only 6 minutes into the opening game, the gate of the Cangzhou Lions was besieged by Chengdu Rongcheng, Zhou Dingyang and Lechett's shots were blocked, and Gan Chao burst into the goal with a kick. In the 45th minute of the first half, Heiwa Palacios scored another goal for Chengdu Rongcheng.
Shortly after the start of the second half, Hu Hetao, a very good youngster in this game, scored with a backheel shot in the penalty area to seal the victory for Chengdu Rongcheng. In the 84th minute, Romulo played the Cangzhou Lions backline on the line of the big penalty area, and then used the rhythm to catch the goalkeeper off guard. In the end, the Cangzhou Lions lost 0-4 away from home!
After being poured 8 goals in 2 consecutive games, but not scoring 1 goal on the offensive end, today's Cangzhou Lions have really become a toothless lion. After losing this game, the Cangzhou Lions only had 15 points in 17 rounds, and the ranking had come to the bottom 4, with only 2 points more than the bottom Qingdao West Coast, and opened their own road to relegation.
In the face of the current predicament faced by the Cangzhou Lions, coach Zhao Junzhe is also powerless. If the team loses the game again, I don't know if Zhao Junzhe's position can be kept?
