Reporter Chen Yong reports Recently, Qingdao Manatee suffered from continuous rain due to house leakage, and was leveled by Nantong Zhiyun when it was 2-0 ahead; Close to stoppage time, he was killed by Shenhua; During the period, he was punished for two empty games due to the irrational behavior of the fans. The manatees who won four rounds are already in danger.
On May 10, in the 11th round of the Chinese Super League, Hainiu played Nantong. This game was extremely crucial for Hainiu. It was a "six point battle" to avoid relegation. The whole team also worked together and vowed to win. In the game, with Wang Jianming's two goals, Manatee once led 2-0. Although Li Hailong was sent off in the 83rd minute, they still led by two goals until the 89th minute. When Hainiu was looking forward to a victory, something unexpected happened. Nantong scored two goals in the 90th minute and 99th minute, drawing the score to 2-2.
This result is undoubtedly a huge blow to the Manatee fans. The disappointment also includes the on-site Manatee fans. During and after the game, the fans behaved irrationally and threw water bottles, cups and other sundries into the field. Therefore, the Manatee home court was punished for two empty games.
On the 15th, Hainiu played against Shenhua in the away game. It was generally believed that Hainiu probably lost the game. But this time, they played very tenaciously and blocked Shenhua's fierce attacks again and again. The score was still 0-0 until the 87th minute. However, a minute later, Hainiu still lost the ball. Jiang Shenglong scored the key ball. In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Hainiu, eager to fight back, lost 0-2 away.
In these two games, Manatee once played very well and could get 4 points at sight, but in the end they flew and only got 1 point. After 12 rounds of battle, the score of Manatee who failed in 4 rounds is still 8 points, and continues to be the bottom.
Of course, the situation is not out of control. At present, the scores of the middle and lower reaches of the CSL are very tight, with Hainiu and Meizhou scoring 8 points, while Nantong and Xinpengcheng scoring only 1 point more. In addition, the Henan team has 10 points, Yatai 11 points, and the West Coast 12 points. Although Cangzhou has 14 points, the team has failed in six rounds, and the recent situation is not good.
It can be said that if you win a game or even get a point, the ranking of each team will change, but it is not easy to win a game. Take the above teams as an example, Meizhou and Nantong are also defeated in 4 rounds, Xinpengcheng in 7 rounds, Henan in 4 consecutive defeats, Cangzhou in 6 consecutive defeats. In addition, Yatai has also been defeated in 6 rounds, and before the last round of winning on the West Coast, it was also defeated in 6 rounds, including 4 consecutive defeats in a wave.
Due to the irrational behavior of Qingdao fans after the match against Nantong on May 10, the Chinese Football Association issued a heavy ticket to the Qingdao area (the home court of Manatee), with two empty matches and a fine of 200000 yuan. In addition, the Qingdao police have imposed administrative detention on 7 fans and imposed public security punishment or criticism education on 11 other fans.
In this incident, the Manatee Club was a complete victim. They did not violate any rules and regulations in the game, and even the Manatee players themselves were attacked by debris. During the whole process, the coach, team members and staff of Manatee always signaled and appealed to the fans to be quiet.
However, all the consequences can only be borne by Hainiu. The 13th round of the Chinese Super League (home game against Guoan) and the 14th round (home game against Jinmen Tiger) must be played in the open court. In these two games, although the manatees were weak against the strong, they originally planned to grab some points from their opponents. After all, in the 2023 season, the manatees defeated Guoan 3-1 at home. However, the loss of the support of the home fans after the empty court has a great impact on the Manatee.
But Hainiu had no choice. They had to fight for points. In the game against Guoan this Tuesday, Guoan had just lost to Yatai on the road and the team had many injuries, so Manatee didn't have no chance at all; In the game against Jinmen Tiger on the weekend, how to contain the foreign aid of the opponent is the key.
The current problem of Manatee is that the foreign central defender Milovic was injured and he missed the previous match with Shenhua. However, although Manatee lost two goals in the final stage, the defense of Manatee was actually qualified against Shenhua, who scored 27 goals in the second and 12th rounds of the Chinese Super League attack. Therefore, facing Guoan, who scored only 21 goals, and Jinmen Tiger, who scored 20 goals, There is no need for manatees to belittle themselves.
After these two games, the CSL entered the intermission. For Hainiu, how to adjust next is the key.
