Why isn't Wanda, the World Cup's biggest gold host, playing soccer? Lately, when I watch the World Cup, I always play because from time to time there are Chinese commercials. How frequent were they? I even think the Chinese team has the highest out rate on the pitch. In addition to China's first, the world's second, that is Wanda Culture and Tourism.
The Wanda Group behind it is not only the biggest sponsor of the World Cup, but also one of the seven official partners of FIFA, and there are even advertisements for Wanda in the distant English Premier League. He doesn't know many schools. If he likes being a soccer sponsor so much, why doesn't he form a team himself?
Look at these teams in the CSL. Guangzhou Evergrande, Beijing Guoan and Shandong Luneng are all big players. In terms of size, Wanda isn't bad. In fact, putting together a team is a small goal for Wanda, but a broken heart is like a broken piece. Putting it together isn't easy.
Back in the 1990s, Wanda took a stake in the Dalian soccer team, one of only four new clubs among the 15 clubs in the Chinese Super League at the time. Due to the availability of funds, Wanda's team's overall strength also belonged to the last team in the Chinese Super League at that time. However, in the 1998 Chinese Super League, Dalian Wanda took over Liaoning. In this match, Wanda entered the penalty area three times and was put down, but the referee ignored it and forced Wanda to blow off three penalties.
At half-time, the match director was said to be out of sight and seriously warned the duty referee. But it still didn't. After the match, the owner behind the game, Wang Jianlin, announced that the Wanda Group had permanently withdrawn from Chinese soccer, so now Wanda only spends money and doesn't play soccer.
