There have been two pieces of good news recently regarding the future of Canton:
1. Boss Xu will not give up and continue to support the team.
Secondly, Zheng Zhi will stay on, the backbone of the team is still there.
In addition, there is also a bad news: the Guangzhou team wants to make up for the Chinese Super League. In the past, the opportunity to make up for the Chinese Super League was good news, but looking at the team's current situation, playing in the Chinese Super League is a bit difficult. However, the chance to make amends is rare, and staying in the Chinese Super League is more conducive to development.
Status quo: Strength has dropped rather than risen, and the probability of staying in the Premier League has been relegated again.
Last season, Guangzhou had several other players such as Wei Shihao, Yang Liyu, Yan Dinghao and Zhang Xiwei. Together with veterans such as Rong Hao and Zhang Chenglin, even if they eventually suffered relegation, they had the power of the First World War to face other teams and couldn't just step on them. Now, Wu Shaocong, Tan Kaiyuan studied abroad, Yang Liyu, Wei Shihao, Zhang Xiuwei, Yan Dinghao probability to leave, leaving only a group of old and weak, stay in the Premier League will become the team to brush data.
Even if Boss Xu expresses his commitment to continue supporting the team, there is a limit to how much he can put in. In Evergrande's current situation, it can only squeeze a little bit of money out of its teeth for the club, and it can't be too much higher than last season's 15 million. This money can only guarantee the wages and daily expenses of the existing young players, and there is no room to bring in power players. It can be said that the overall strength is not as good as last season.
From the team's current situation, even if they can make up for the Chinese Super League, they are likely to face relegation again, so it would be better to play directly in the Central League. However, if the Guangzhou team is eligible to make up for the Chinese Super League and does not want to miss this opportunity, what should they do?
How about staying in the CFL and adding some strength wherever possible?
Based on Canton's current financial situation, it may be possible to close the gap with other teams in two ways.
Veterans return to make up for the inexperience of younger players.
When the team encountered difficulties last season, Zheng Zhi stood up, Rong Hao, Zhang Chenglin and Mei Fang came back, and veterans such as Gao Lin and Zeng Cheng expressed their willingness to suffer with the team. On the one hand, it came from the attraction of the veteran captain Zheng Zhi, and on the other hand, it came from the Guangzhou team. Although many veterans are past their prime, their experience can help the team increase the thickness of the bench.
For example, Gao Lin scored 4 goals last season, not impressive stats, but he played 20 times for Shenzhen and played half the game. If it wasn't for Shenzhen's various problems, he would have performed better. Today, Gao Lin can't charge the ball like he used to, but his ability to create chances is still very good.
As long as Jung is still around, he should be able to recall some of the veterans, which will help a lot even if they only play one season.
