In a key battle in the 24th round of the Chinese Super League that ended on the evening of July 22, Beijing time, the Cangzhou male lion lost 0-5 at home to Shanghai Shenhua, and after suffering 14 rounds of winless, they fell to the bottom 2 of the standings, and the relegation situation is grim.

This season, the Cangzhou Male Lion have made a very good start to the Chinese Super League, with 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the first 6 rounds, ranking in the top 4 of the standings, and have the momentum to become the number one dark horse this season. However, next, the performance of the Cangzhou male lion team was a big surprise. In the last 14 rounds of the league, the Cangzhou male lion have not won even one game, with a record of 4 draws and 10 losses.

Before the match with Shenhua in this round, the Cangzhou male lion chose to let Li Xiaopeng, who had just taken up the position of general manager, exchange positions with coach Zhao Junzhe. However, Li Xiaopeng, who was appointed as the coach of Cangzhou in danger, was very unlucky to lead the team on his debut, and met Shenhua, who was competing with the harbor for the championship and had to go all out, plus due to injuries and other reasons, only 17 people from the Cangzhou male lion were selected for the squad. With an absolute disadvantage in strength and a lack of personnel, they inevitably suffered a complete defeat in the end.

In the first half, Shenhua relied on goals from Wu Xi and Gao Tianyi to kill the suspense of the game early, and the Cangzhou male lion only had 2 shots on target in the half. Yibian fought again, Shenhua was still on the offensive, Gao Tianyi had a wonderful shot in the 64th minute, Malele pushed in the 71st minute to extend the score to 4-0, and in stoppage time, Xie Pengfei scored another goal, so the Cangzhou male lion, who lost 0-5, swallowed a humiliating 14 consecutive defeats. After 20 rounds, he accumulated 17 points and conceded 46 goals, surpassing Qingdao West Coast and becoming the team with the most goals conceded in the Chinese Super League.

Due to the 3-3 draw between Qingdao West Coast and Meizhou Hakka in this round and 1 point each, the losing Cangzhou Male Lion also fell to the bottom 2 of the standings. From the 6th round on April 14, they were still ranked 4th in the league, to 3 months later, the Cangzhou male lion were already ranked second from the bottom and on the verge of relegation, such a huge gap is indeed embarrassing. With 10 rounds left in the league, if the Cangzhou male lions still can't stop the decline, I'm afraid they and Nantong Zhiyun are very likely to lock in two relegation places in the Chinese Super League.
