Xiang Yuwang Makes Important Decision, Says Chongqing Tongliang Long’s Goal Is Survival and Hopes Fans Understand

Xiang Yuwang came to the fans’ stand and said: “We don’t want this either; nobody wants this.” In the 26th round of the Chinese Super League, Chongqing Tongliang Long lost 1-3 at home to Shanghai Shenhua, suffering a 10-match winless run in the league. During the post-match appreciation session, Chongqing Tongliang Long captain Xiang Yuwang came to the fans’ stand and said: “We don’t want this either; nobody wants this. Our season goal is to avoid relegation.”

Xiang Yuwang said: “This result is certainly something we did not want to see, but we cannot direct this issue toward the head coach. I think I also have responsibility. My form has not been good, and everyone can see that. We have tried our best, but we are a young team, right? What is our season goal? It is to avoid relegation.”

Xiang Yuwang is a very capable forward. He is the type of player who excels both in creating and scoring, able to deliver dangerous crosses and also finish chances himself. Whenever Chongqing Tongliang Long find themselves in a difficult situation during matches, Xiang Yuwang can often step up quickly and produce game-changing moments. If Xiang Yuwang can continue his strong performances for Chongqing Tongliang Long, the team may still reach a new peak.

However, Xiang Yuwang has been in ordinary form in recent matches and has also missed several clear scoring opportunities. Therefore, Chongqing Tongliang Long head coach Liu Jianye still needs to fully bring out Xiang Yuwang’s potential in order for the team to escape its struggles. If Xiang Yuwang can find his breakthrough form at Chongqing Tongliang Long, it would be good news for the team.

It is believed that after Chongqing Tongliang Long’s adjustment during the Chinese Super League’s September break, the team can reach a new peak in matches and move out of their difficult period without wins. Unexpectedly, the rumor that Shanghai Shenhua’s championship-winning coach would replace Liu Jianye as Chongqing Tongliang Long head coach on September 9, and that he would directly select Xu Haoyang and Wang Haijian to join the club, was denied as false information.
