As the Chinese Super League (CSL) continues to navigate its way through the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges posed by the ongoing global health crisis, Tianjin Jianli have secured their place in the league's top flight for another season.
In what was a closely contested battle, Tianjin Jianli narrowly avoided relegation to the second tier of Chinese football with a final score of 2-1 against Qingdao Jonoon in the last round of matches. The victory ensured that Tianjin Jianli would be able to continue playing at the highest level of domestic football, while also ensuring that they had completed all of their scheduled fixtures before the end of the campaign.
The team's manager, Zhang Jie, praised his players for their resilience and commitment throughout the season, stating that "our players have shown great determination and professionalism, and we're very proud of them."
For Tianjin Jianli, securing their place in the CSL has been a significant achievement, as it demonstrates the club's commitment to providing high-quality football entertainment for their fans. The team has always prided itself on its strong defensive record, and this season was no exception, as they conceded just three goals in their 26 games played.
With the addition of new signings such as former China U23 international Guo Zhi and experienced midfielder Liu Zhicheng, Tianjin Jianli have made some improvements to their squad, which should help them to compete more effectively in the upcoming season.
Overall, Tianjin Jianli's achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team's players and staff. As the CSL returns to action following the break for the World Cup, Tianjin Jianli will look to build on their success and continue their journey towards success in the league.
