Beijing time on February 10, news from Guangzhou came out, last season just entered the first division of the Guangzhou team will continue to be led by Zheng Zhi coaching team, the boss Xu Jiayin does not intend to give up soccer, will continue to operate a professional soccer club with a relatively reasonable scale of investment.
Currently, the Guangzhou team is still on vacation and is tentatively scheduled to regroup on February 15 to begin preparations for the new season. However, there is no clarity on the team's participation in the Chinese Super League or the Chinese Super League next season.
According to the relevant provisions of the new season's league policy, if the Shenzhen soccer team fails to pass the access because of the salary arrears, the Guangzhou team will be the first substitute to promote to the Chinese Super League. Guangzhou fans were also greatly encouraged by the news. After Guangzhou's relegation last year, the club's senior management said, "Evergrande will not give up the Guangzhou team and will return to the top league as soon as possible." .
Although Guangzhou's operating costs were low last season, it made great progress in clearing its historical debts. Not only were players' salary arrears paid off on time, but contracts were successfully terminated after communication with some players, allowing them to leave on free transfers. The historical debt burden of the Music Department has been greatly reduced. Salaries of players, coaching staff and personnel can be paid on time and the salaries of ladder players have been settled.
If the Guangzhou team ends up having a chance to make amends, getting through access shouldn't be a big deal. Of more concern to outsiders is the kind of investment Guangzhou can make if they participate in the Chinese Super League. Last season, the team, which featured mostly young, homegrown players, had an annual operating cost of only 15 million yuan. Players were limited to a maximum salary of 600,000 yuan. If the low-cost operation continues this season, it will be difficult for Guangzhou to avoid relegation. (Sohu Sports Pei Li)
