Tianjin FC, one of the most prominent football clubs in China's top professional league, has been struggling to maintain their position in the Chinese Super League (CSL) after suffering two consecutive defeats against Tianjin Quanjian and Beijing Guoan respectively.
The team, which was previously ranked fourth in the league table, now finds themselves at seventh place, just four points above the relegation zone. The club is facing a tough battle for survival as they look to secure their spot in the upcoming season.
Coach Jang Sung-min, who took over the reins from former coach Zhang Jiaxin, has faced criticism for his poor performance so far this season. The team's defense has been weak, with several high-profile players such as defender Huang Shengyu and midfielder Wang Weiran being suspended due to disciplinary issues.
In addition, the team's offensive play has also been lacking, with only one goal scored in their last three games. This has left fans and analysts alike questioning the team's ability to compete at the highest level of football in China.
Despite these challenges, Tianjin FC remains hopeful that they can turn things around and secure their place in the league. The team will be looking to bounce back from their recent defeats and focus on improving their defensive and attacking performances if they hope to avoid relegation.
As the CSL relegates teams based on their performance, it is clear that Tianjin FC needs to improve quickly if they want to stay in the competition. With a big match coming up against Guangzhou Evergrande tomorrow, the team will need to come together and perform at their best to have any chance of staying in the CSL.
