Rongcheng has suffered a significant setback in their quest for the CSL title, with their position being knocked down to fourth place after losing two games in a row.
The team, who had been leading the league earlier in the season, have now fallen behind leaders Jiangsu Shenhua and second-placed Beijing Guoan. The third-place finishers, Tianjin Quanjian, have also lost a game, but they still hold onto the third spot.
The defeat was a blow for Rongcheng fans, who were hoping for a strong showing from the team that had been so dominant earlier in the season. However, the team will need to work hard if they want to make up ground on the other teams in the competition.
Injuries to key players have also played a part in Rongcheng's recent struggles. Key defender Liang Zhenyi, who has been instrumental in the team's success this season, is currently out injured, while midfielder Zhang Yifeng has also missed several games due to injury.
Despite these setbacks, Rongcheng coach Wang Junhua remains optimistic about the team's chances of recovering and making a strong push for the title. He believes that the team can bounce back from this setback and continue their impressive form.
Overall, Rongcheng's loss of momentum in the CSL title race is a reminder of how unpredictable football can be. While the team may not have won the championship yet, they remain in contention for the top three spots and could still make a strong push towards the end of the season.
