Guangzhou City Football Club's shareholding reform is progressing well, and with Fortune likely to cease its shareholding, the Guangzhou City team is set to embark on a new page.
Rational investment, attraction focus on cost-effective, beautiful soccer ...... These are a few key words related to the soccer operation of R&F for many years. Of course, there is also the 2011 success of the super banquet R&F boss Zhang Li "with the price of salted vegetables to make the flavor of the roast goose," the words have left a deep impression. In retrospect, if this kind of rational operational thinking could have been mainstreamed a few years ago, then the Chinese football team would have been in a better position.

Wouldn't the ball league look different now?
People are concerned about how much money Fulham has actually invested in more than a decade of investing in soccer. Although the club has not been officially announced specific data, but the annual reinforcements, player wages of various expenditures in fact, there are many related reports, can be statistics. R&F invested in soccer for more than ten years, rough calculation, will not be low into the scale of investment of 3 billion, this figure, and many clubs often a year 2 billion investment can not be compared, in the time of the gold dollar soccer, R&F investment belongs to a very rare calm.
During the 2011 season, the

At the celebration banquet for the super team, the boss of R&F Group, Mr. Zhang Li, said, "R&F wants to make the flavor of roasted goose with the price of salted vegetables." This is a memorable sentence for many Guangzhou fans, and many R&F fans will even call themselves "I'm salty" when talking about the team.
There's this little story that

The derby match at the Tianhe Stadium after joining the soccer team, which saw Fortune defeat the then-prosperous

The report that the Salty Army attacked Tianshi after the game was a bit hard to swallow for the Fulham club, which thought the headline was inappropriate and smacked of poking fun.
"With the price of salted vegetables to make the flavor of roast goose", expressed the rational operation of soccer thinking, at that time, there are indeed fans do not quite understand, ten years later, rational operation is proved to be how important, stable development, is the key. "R&F boss Zhang Li said is correct, but ten years ago, his rational thinking was even taken as a laughing stock, and then Chinese professional soccer with a decade of development to confirm the correctness of this point of view." A person close to R&F said, "all in accordance with the laws of doing things, even if the road is farther, longer time, will be successful, if not in accordance with the laws of doing things, is destined to end in failure. Chinese professional soccer, just with ten years to do the test."
At the Guangdong Sports Industry Forum in 2017, the then

The club's chairman of the board of directors was once the head of the professional league, but in the end, the reform of the professional league that the people of Fuli were involved in came to an end without any problems. Until now there are still people say, if four years ago Zhang Li directly involved in the reform of professional soccer work, the situation may be completely different.

Early 2012.
Guangzhou R&F
Brazilian coach Farias was poached from South Korea's K-League, and before China, Farias had taken South Korea's Pohang Steelers to the AFC Championship. When Farias came to China, he checked nine large suitcases filled with various professional training equipment brought from Brazil.
Before Farias took over R&F, most of the team members had only 70 minutes of fitness, and were jokingly called the "cramp team" at that time. But after the completion of winter training in early 2012
Guangzhou R&F
The physical condition of the players is much better. The professional training equipments brought by Farias from Brazil have really played a role. Through the advanced body testing instruments, the players in training are tested on a number of skill indexes, and the physical trainer will carefully collect and organize the data of all the players, and then based on the data, he will then formulate the training plan for the next day.
During the Farias era, Ice Bucket Rehabilitation Hydrotherapy became a key tool in the recovery of Fulham players, where players entered ice buckets with ice and cold water stirred together after training to rehabilitate, subverting the previous traditional training model. There are three key figures in Farias' coaching team, namely physical trainer Inaha, physical analyst Matthews and rehabilitator Clayton, of which the ice bucket rehabilitation hydrotherapy is brought by Clayton.
A year and a half later, Farias left and Inaha still continued his work with other teams in the Chinese professional league, and he introduced his son Inaha Jr. to the Chinese league, serving as a fitness coach for Guizhou Renhe, Wuhan, and a number of other teams. Clayton was a Beijing summer

Double line of battle, Fuli's own team shortage of problems appeared, Kong Tera in the 2015 season in the middle of the dismissal, become the Fuli team history of the shortest coaching time of foreign coaches. After the departure of Conteira, the then assistant coach Li Bing served as a transition coach, and then ushered in Stojkovic. Stojkovic's four years of coaching at R&F is the process by which R&F put forward rational investment in soccer clubs and scaled down its soccer investment. During these four years, players such as Jiang Zhipeng and Wang Song left and a number of utility players were introduced.
During Sto's four years at R&F, he has pursued a "beautiful soccer" style of passing and controlling, which is highly ornamental.

At the end of the 2019 season, Stojkovic left R&F and was soon hired as the head coach of the Serbian national team, and his Japanese assistant coaches during his coaching days at R&F, such as Katsuhiro Ki Iron Do, joined the coaching staff of the Serbian team, and in 2021, the "old R&F coaching staff" led the Serbian team to Qatar.

After Sto's departure, Dutchman Van Bronckhorst and his assistant Van Garst became successively in charge of Fuli (later Guangzhou City), with Van Garst taking Guangzhou City into the title contention group in the 2021 season.
Rational investment, after all aspects of the conditions of consideration, "accurate" selection of candidates to meet their own, R&F in the selection of the level of the manager is quite good, in the introduction of foreign aid is also the same way of operation, also received very good results.
Valuing cost-effective foreigners, Fulham have had many successes with their reinforcements. From Davy and Hammad to Renaldinho, and from Zhang Xianxiu to Xavi to Guilherme, these players have been

Guangzhou R&F
In the honor room of the soccer club, a huge photo of Xavi hangs prominently in the middle, and next to the photo, Xavi's No. 7 jersey hangs.
In the domestic player level, Fuli also attaches considerable importance to their own cultivation of players, if there are players by the giants, can accept the "high transfer", which Jiang Zhipeng, Jin Yangyang transferred to Huaxia Happiness, Wang Song transferred to Jiangsu Suning, etc. operation, have made the Fuli in the time to obtain a considerable amount of income.
It's possible that they don't have a stake in Guangzhou City FC, but Fortune is not completely out of soccer, at least at the youth level, they are still operating.
After investing in professional soccer clubs, soon R&F realized the problem of reserve talents, they built the Meixian R&F Football School to carry out school soccer and soccer youth training in Guangzhou and Guangdong province, doing youth training, they are serious. In recent years, R&F has introduced a team of Japanese youth training coaches, and the teaching and training work of the Meixian R&F Football School has been steadily advancing, and the effect at the youth training level has already appeared, whether it's the Meixian R&F Football School or the Guangzhou youth training system, all of which have players selected for the national youth teams and junior teams at all levels.
In the process of Guangzhou City's stock reform, the club's management system in the youth training system and Meixian soccer school management system quietly changed, the club level sent executives specifically responsible for the management of the Meixian R&F soccer school. In the past two years, Meixian has been to Fuli Soccer School players plus Guangzhou City 03 age group players as the base to participate in the Championship League, hoping to rush to the Chinese B League as soon as possible, from the team's performance point of view, the future can be expected.
In the long run, even if it finally no longer participates in Guangzhou City FC, Meixian R&F Football School is also a good example for the
Guangzhou R&F
The soccer sentiment has left an important soccer spark. Perhaps when the real estate market changes in the future, Fortune will probably return to the professional league sequence again.
