As the final round of the Chinese Super League approaches, Tianjin Teda have secured their place in the top flight for another season. The club has been in the relegation zone for much of the campaign, but with four wins and two draws in their last six games, they have managed to secure their survival.
The news comes as a relief for the fans who have been hoping that their team would be able to avoid the drop. The club's manager, Lu Xinyu, said: "We are very happy to secure our place in the top flight. It's been a tough season, but we've shown resilience and determination throughout."
Teda's success can be attributed to their strong defense, which has kept them at the top of the table for much of the season. Their goal difference is also one of the best in the league, indicating that they have scored more goals than they have conceded.
However, there have been some concerns about the quality of their attacking play. Despite their defensive strength, they have only managed to score 41 goals in 36 matches, placing them ninth in the league.
Despite these concerns, Teda have shown their resilience and determination all season long. They will now focus on preparing for the final few matches of the season, hoping to finish off the season strongly and secure a place in the top flight next year.
Overall, it's a positive sign for football fans in China that Tianjin Teda have managed to secure their place in the top flight. With their strong defense and solid performance so far this season, they look set to continue their run of form into the final rounds of the competition.
