February 18 - In a recent interview with Soccer Night, Xu Shang, an investor in the music department of Chinese Super League promotion horse Qingdao West Coast, talked about the team's operations and said that he believes soccer is a life.
--Talking about operations
Xu Shang: Last year, some clubs might have invested $50 million to $60 million to be relegated, but last year's environment was different. This year, we may need 80 million or even 100 million dollars to stay at that level.
--Talking about the team's transformation
Xu Shang: The real change in the team was when Ge Zhen came to the team and he was stunned and said how can your team play in the Chinese First Division. He took away the rules and regulations of the teams he played for and we changed them to suit our situation and we sat down together to change the team and make it more professional. In the Chinese Super League, we are still very amateur and belong to the amateur teams in the Chinese Super League. So we have to improve some things as soon as possible. Why did you invite Hisashi Kurosaki's team? Because I want to change it.
--Talking about investment promotion
Xu Shang: So far, our chest, back and title are empty. For one thing, the environment is bad, and for another, Chinese soccer is in the doldrums, and a lot of companies are on the sidelines.
--Talk about a love of soccer
Seo-Sang: In the past, many coaches have said that I like to participate in such techniques and tactics. As a matter of fact, I have never participated in it. I love soccer. I take soccer as my life. I like to integrate into the team and fight with everyone. It's got to be about controlling yourself. As an investor, you can't stay in the lounge all day. I told Hisashi Kurosaki that when you need it, I will go into the lounge and cheer and encourage you; if you don't need it, I won't go into this lounge."
