As the final round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) draws to a close, there is still hope for Shenzhen FC, who sit just three points off safety with five games remaining.
With their form improving recently, Shenzhen have shown that they can compete at the top level and have shown great resilience throughout the season.
Despite being one of the teams with the highest number of goals conceded this season, Shenzhen have also been impressive defensively, conceding only six times in their last seven matches.
Their midfield has also been a key factor in their recent success, with players like Zhang Jindong and Huang Xiangyin leading the line.
The team's coach, Lu Chao, has also played a big role in Shenzhen's resurgence, with his tactical acumen helping to unlock defences and create scoring opportunities.
However, despite their good form, Shenzhen face a tough challenge as they will need to win all five of their remaining matches if they want to avoid relegation.
But, with the right mindset and determination, Shenzhen could still pull off a surprise and secure their place in the CSL next season.
