The Cup competition, Guangzhou City from mid-August there is no game to play. In order to maintain the competitive state, the players can only return to the base to practice. Although Guangzhou City Salon suspended the payroll in September due to financial problems, this did not affect the team's normal preparation.
Huang Shenghua leaked, the team has been practicing as usual in the past two months. "In fact, the first time the situation of unpaid wages, but the environment is so, we can understand," Huang Shenghua said, "If I say that the team morale is still very high, we also know that I am telling lies." Huang Shenghua said the salary arrears are only temporary, the salon will not deny, and will make up for the next.
In fact, since the beginning of 2016, R&F has changed its business mindset, some of the older and higher-paid players were high "cash", and in the introduction of internal and external reinforcements are no longer seeking big names, but more consideration of practicality. Huang Shenghua said, Guangzhou City this year's South American trio overall salary is 2.5 million euros - Guilherme annual salary of 1.1 million euros, Caldona and Tiago's annual salary of 1 million and 400,000 euros, respectively.

(22 points) is still 1 point less, but under the current rules, Guangzhou City is at worst the eighth place. Huang Shenghua said that the team will give more opportunities to newcomers in the final eight rounds of the competition, and the policy is to try to improve the ranking a little bit, and compete for the top six.
Dual foreign aiders to fight the world
Constrained by various conditions, Guangzhou City will have a number of key players missing the second phase of the competition, including foreign backbone and internal backbone. Guangzhou City's manager Van Garst will dig inside to give more opportunities to the newcomers.
Dembele and Guilherme were reported to have returned to the team before September. Guilherme could not return to the team due to visa problems, while Dembele automatically requested not to participate in the second stage of the competition. Right now, Guangzhou City has only two foreigners, one is Brazilian center forward Thiago and the other is Colombian striker Caldona, and these two attackers have been in good form lately. A few days ago and Shenzhen football warm-up match, Tiago and Caldona helped Guangzhou City to 4:0 victory.

In the second stage, Guangzhou City can only rely on this pair of foreign aid "double gun" to fight the world.
Merger of two Guangzhou teams unlikely
Just a few days ago, Guangzhou City's former manager Van Bronckhorst became the head coach of Scottish Premier League giants Rangers, with Guangzhou City's coaching staff from the previous year almost fully transplanted to Rangers. Van Bronckhorst's old partner Van Garst was also called upon.
Huang Shenghua leaked, Van Garst will not go to Scotland, he will lead the team to play the rest of the season competition. At the beginning of this year, Van Garst and Guangzhou City signed a one-year contract with an annual salary of 900,000 euros, because the cooperation is more pleasant, both sides have the intention of renewing the contract. In addition, Guangzhou City in the contract renewal of players also has a relevant program, the main structure of the six or seven players are expected to renew the contract. For the outside world concerned about the future merger of the two teams in Guangzhou, Huang Shenghua that the possibility is not great, he said: "The two salons are independent legal persons, merger is not very meaningful, the operational feasibility of less than fifty percent."
