On January 25th, Wuhan Zhuoer Club released a notice officially announcing its withdrawal from the Chinese Professional Football League. Although there have long been indications that the match against Zhejiang (Greentown) at the end of the 2022 season would be the last match for Wuhan Zall, and it was hoped that the fans would witness and accompany the team in Huzhou, the hammer is now finally and truly hammered, or inevitably sighed.
This is not the first team to announce its dissolution, nor will it be the last.
Turning over the history of Zhejiang (Greentown) battle in recent years, we found a magic spell: Zhejiang (Greentown) nearly four seasons of the last opponent are gone.
In the 2021 season, Zhejiang and Qingdao played a play-off for promotion and relegation, with Zhejiang winning 1-0 in two rounds and advancing to the Chinese Super League. Qingdao, once known as Barcelona, played two seasons in the Chinese Super League but failed to appear at home and announced their exit.
In the 2020 season, Zhejiang Energy Greentown's final league match was against Taizhou Yuanda. Zhejiang won 3-1 in the Championship Division match in Dujiangyan, Chengdu, qualifying for promotion and relegation play-offs. Taizhou Yuanda, a team from the county town of Taizhou, had no choice but to call it quits due to lack of funds, unsustainability, and no one taking over.
Zhejiang Greentown's last game of the 2019 season was against Guangdong South China Tigers, also known as Meixian Tiehan. Zhejiang won 2-1. A few months later, it was announced that it was disbanded due to its inability to gain access.
