Tianjin Shougang's CSL Relegation Is Secure, Manager Says

The Chinese Premier has announced that Tianjin Shougang Football Club's Chinese League sixteenth round match against Shanghai Shanghai Shenhua will be suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In a statement issued by the club's management on Tuesday, Zhang Jianping, president of the club, said that the suspension is in accordance with China's relevant regulations and laws, and it was necessary for the safety and health of everyone involved. He added that the club had taken all necessary measures to prevent the spread of the virus and ensure the stability of the match.

The suspension comes at a time when the Chinese Premier League (CPL) is facing its biggest challenge yet, as it struggles to keep up with the pace of the global pandemic. The league has been forced to cancel several matches due to the virus, including a crucial match between the Chinese Taipei national team and the Hong Kong side, which would have been held on January 26.

The suspension also comes as a blow to the Chinese Premier League, which is currently leading the league standings with eight wins out of nine matches played so far this season. However, the club's financial situation remains uncertain, and there is no word yet on whether they will face any financial penalties for the suspension.

Despite the challenges, the Chinese Premier League is determined to continue playing football in a safe and responsible manner. The club's manager, Li Yuzhen, expressed confidence in the team's ability to overcome the current situation and continue their efforts to achieve success in the league.

For now, the suspension of the match between Tianjin Shougang and Shanghai Shanghai Shenhua is expected to last until further notice. Meanwhile, the club continues to work hard to ensure that the players and fans can safely attend the match.
