Tianjin, China - The Chinese Super League (CSL) has been hit with a setback as the defending champions Tianjin Teda have struggled to secure points in their opening matches.
The team, who won the CSL last season, have so far failed to record any victories in their first two games of the season. They lost 2-1 against Shandong Luneng in their opener before drawing 1-1 against Beijing Guoan in their second match.
Manager Huahaiyu is reportedly unhappy with his team's performance and has called for more discipline and focus on improving their tactics.
However, despite the setbacks, Tianjin Teda remain hopeful of making a strong showing in the league this year. They have also signed several new players ahead of the season, including Brazilian midfielder Thiago Silva and Japanese striker Koki Yamamoto, which could help them improve their chances.
Despite the challenges they face, Tianjin Teda have not given up hope of securing points and achieving success in the CSL this season. They will continue to work hard and improve their performance, hoping to turn things around and make a strong comeback later in the season.
