February 21, Chongqing contemporary players, have taken the flight back to Chongqing, 22 they will be in Yanghe training base, to open the new season of preparation.
Chongqing contemporary in this Spring Festival around the encounter, undoubtedly let Chongqing fans ride a roller coaster - the end of January, as one of the difficulties of this year's Chinese Super League Chongqing contemporary, suddenly ended the Guangzhou training, on-site vacation, return to the team time to be determined, almost everyone on the team's future downbeat, but did not expect is that the club in the last Half a year's demand, finally got a response, Chongqing Municipal authorities for the club to seek a partner to help the team first to solve the immediate plight of salary arrears, and then help the team in the next two years to stabilize operations.
Reinforcements arrived and started clearing salary arrears
On January 28, Chongqing Contemporary team suddenly met and announced the suspension of winter training. Compared to Tianjin Teda, which has not been conducting winter training, the sudden termination of the Contemporary team is actually more shocking. Soon, the club's unpromising operational outlook was also exposed in front of everyone's eyes. Chongqing Contemporary had to settle the wages and bonuses owed to players and coaches from the previous season within the days stipulated by the Football Association, or else it would be difficult to gain access to the new season.
It is understood that after the team in situ vacation, club executives and contemporary group leaders returned to Chongqing, and the relevant departments of Chongqing Municipality to approach cooperation matters. Before the New Year, the relevant departments of Chongqing Municipality held a total of two meetings, one of which was attended by representatives of the fans, the leadership of the Municipal Sports Bureau and the leadership of the Football Association, which indicated that it would bring a good result to the fans, and that all parties were working hard. Subsequently, the Sports Bureau again held a meeting, this time there is substantial progress, in the six companies involved in the cooperation negotiations, there is a determination will be with Chongqing contemporary cooperation, and in the next three years together to support the development of professional soccer in Chongqing.
February 10, Chongqing Contemporary Club submitted the three tables required by the CFA as requested, and promised the players that the remaining salaries and bonuses will be settled after the year. In fact, a year ago, the club used the first Chinese Super League dividend of 7 million to pay staff salaries and part of last year's bonuses, the
The remainder will be negotiated between the Contemporary Club and its partners over the coming week.
After all, on the day of February 28th, clubs will need to submit complete signatures on salary and bonus confirmation forms, and the FA will also verify the actual payments made by clubs.
Chongqing contemporary rushed to solve the problem of survival before the end of the Spring Festival holiday, the club quickly finalized the team to re-centralize the time. 21 February, Chongqing contemporary players packed their bags to re-departure, all concentrated in the Chongqing Yanghe training base. The reporter learned that the real day of concentration in the 22nd, when the club and the coaching staff will announce a new phase of the team's training program, after the reporter was informed that the rest of the preparation time the team or will stay in Chongqing, until the warm-up phase and then with the surrounding cities team about the war.
There's a loss of starters and the team has to reorganize
Compared to the previous concentration in January, this time, Chongqing Contemporary team members returned to Chongqing mood, obviously different, they have a clearer understanding of the club's future development.
In fact, in the football reform program introduced in 2015, it was made clear that "clubs should focus on their own construction, improve rules and regulations, strengthen self-discipline management, comply with industry rules, actively assume social responsibility and accept social supervision. Encourage local governments to create conditions to guide a number of excellent clubs relatively stable in the soccer foundation, soccer development representative and demonstrative city, to avoid the phenomenon of clubs with the change of investors and the frequent relocation of the city, the lack of stable support, and to actively cultivate a stable fan base and the city's soccer culture." In addition, it is also proposed to "optimize the club's shareholding structure. Implement multiple investments by governments, enterprises and individuals, encourage the governments where the clubs are located to invest in soccer stadiums and other resources to form a reasonable structure of investment sources, promote the realization of the regionalization of the clubs, and encourage clubs with the conditions to gradually realize the non-corporate nature of their names."
Chongqing Contemporary temporarily out of trouble, but the club's future benign development, but also rely more on their own virtuous cycle of operation. In the future, it is certain that Chongqing Contemporary will continue to operate at a small cost, and the flow of existing players will not stop. In fact, in this transfer period, the transfer of Dilimurati is one of the ways that the Chongqing club uses to maintain its operation. Dilimurati is a current U23 player, and selling the player is a big risk, but in the team's most difficult time, the sale is also a last resort. For this reason, the club has recalled Lily, who has been working out for a year in Granada, Spain, and will be the team's main U23 player in the new season.
In addition to Dilimurati, Jiang Zhe will also go to Changchun Yatai, who has just returned to the Chinese Super League, and whether it will be a transfer or a loan is yet to be finalized.
Of course, because of Chongqing Contemporary in two consecutive seasons of outstanding performance, the team's other main players, both local players and foreign aid, are the object of other teams, domestic players such as Yuan Mincheng, foreign aid such as Caldecott, Adrian, there is no lack of other Super League team's offer. The Chongqing Contemporary Club will choose a law that suits its own survival, and will continue to develop in the Chinese Super League season under the new policy, while the club will also be responsible for the future of the players.
In fact, this season, like previous seasons, the team will inevitably see a certain degree of staff turnover. When he first arrived in Guangzhou for training, the number of first-team players was clearly insufficient, and head coach Zhang Wailong first promoted young players from the reserve team.
The team then attracted a number of trial players in Guangzhou as well, including Chongqing-born player Gan Chao.
There is still about a week left before the scheduled transfer window closes, although there is also news that the transfer window will be postponed to the end of March to close, but in any case, the contemporary also need to seize the time to implement the new season's personnel structure, after all, the team reorganization needs time to integrate. In addition, the return of two Brazilian foreign aid matters, is also being processed.
