Guangzhou, the eight-time winners of the Chinese Super League, are now 12th in the Central League, 10 points ahead of the relegation zone and have basically completed their relegation task. With a few rounds left in the league, Guangzhou has high hopes of competing for a top eight spot in the Central League. According to Football Daily, after Xu Jiayin was subjected to compulsory measures, the daily work of the Guangzhou team, the club and Evergrande Football School is going on as normal, and the Guangzhou team prepares for the Central League A matches as normal, and neither the team nor the school is affected at present. In addition, the management of the club is also advancing its work in an orderly manner and actively working for the future development of the team.
Boss Xu has long since failed to inject capital into the Guangzhou team's first-class Evergrande Football School, and it's not easy for the Guangzhou team to achieve such results under the difficult economic situation. And Evergrande Football School has been able to realize self-financing. At the end of May this year, Liu Qian, the principal of Evergrande Football School, was appointed as the chairman of Guangzhou Football Club. Since then, the survival and development of Guangzhou team and Evergrande Football School have fallen on her, and she has been busy attracting investment for the survival and development of Guangzhou team and Evergrande Football School. But judging from the current situation, it is difficult to find a strong private or state-owned enterprise to take over the Guangzhou team. In order to survive, the Guangzhou team can only hope that the CFA will refund the transfer adjustment fee paid by the Guangzhou team during the Golden Dollar Soccer period.
In the golden dollar era of the Chinese Super League (CSL), Chinese Super League tycoons such as Guangzhou Evergrande, Shanghai Port and Jiangsu Suning have invested huge sums of money to bring in high-level internal and external aid teams. In order to curb large-scale aid to the CFL, a policy was introduced whereby those who introduced more than a certain amount of aid had to pay a transfer adjustment fee to the CFL. After the introduction of the neutral name policy by the CFA, a number of powerful companies have withdrawn from the Chinese Super League (CSL), making it difficult for a number of CSL teams in the Jinyuan soccer bubble to operate. Each team wants the CFA to refund the transfer adjustment fee to maintain the operation of the club. However, former CFA president Chen Xuyuan and senior CFA officials have not returned the fee, nor have they clearly stated where the transfer adjustment fee is going. Currently, the Guangzhou team hopes that the CFA will refund the transfer adjustment fee to help the team tide over the difficult times.
Despite the poor operating conditions of the Guangzhou team, the Evergrande Football School has become the cradle of youth training in China. The soccer school players, including the first team and the 2007, 2008 and other age groups, are very strong, and these players will also be an asset for the future of Chinese soccer. In fact, some time ago, there were 11 Evergrande Soccer Schools players in the U15 national youth team that won the East Asian Championship. Therefore, only if the team and the soccer school can find a sustainable direction, these players will be able to get better. "At present, most of the main players of the Guangzhou team come from the Evergrande Football School. With the help of the Guangzhou team's important platform, the young players of Evergrande Soccer School have been given ample opportunities to exercise, and their individual abilities have greatly improved. The Guangzhou team has also selected a number of outstanding players from the Evergrande Soccer School, and these players will become an important force in the rise of the Guangzhou team or the Chinese national team
Before being controlled by the authorities, Chairman Xu had held a meeting. At the meeting, Chairman Xu suggested that Guangzhou should take relegation as its primary goal this season. Efforts should be made to re-enter the Chinese Super League in the 2024 season. Given the current situation, Xu's return to king status seems unlikely, but the Evergrande Soccer School kids have really improved in the Central League. If the CFA can refund the transfer regulation fee, Guangzhou's business situation will improve dramatically. If Guangzhou's chairman can effectively operate and attract investment to raise some funds for the team to bring in one or two foreign aiders, then Guangzhou's hope of achieving its goal of reaching the Super League next season is not without hope.
