Under the leadership of Li Weifeng, Guangzhou City has surpassed Guangzhou Evergrande in the table. Therefore, even if Wuhan Changjiang FC was disbanded, according to the principle of compensation in accordance with the parity, Guangzhou City FC stayed in the Central League and Guangzhou Evergrande was relegated to the Central League. Objectively evaluating, it becomes a question whether powerful players such as Yan Dinghao, Yang Liyu and Wei Shihao will stay in Guangzhou Evergrande.
In terms of individual ability, Yan Dinghao and the others are the best of the Chinese mid-career players. It's not difficult for them to find a place at other clubs. Looking at the environment of the Chinese Super League, although many clubs are in arrears, there are also clubs that are operating normally, such as Changchun Yatai, Zhejiang, Henan Songshan, and there is no shortage of next homes for Yan Dinghao.
Wuhan Three Town need to strengthen their bench depth, Shanghai SIPG and Shandong Taishan need to make signings as their main players are aging, and Changchun Yatai and Zhejiang need to fight for better rankings. Wuhan Three Town are said to have brought in players such as Liu Dianzha, He Chao and Liu Yiming from Guangzhou Evergrande to strengthen the team as a whole, as other Chinese Super League clubs have seen.
The question now is whether Guangzhou Evergrande can afford to make up for the unpaid wages. If you can't pay Yan Dinghao, Yang Liyu and Wei Shihao their salary arrears, you are unlikely to keep them. Fortunately, Guangzhou Evergrande u21 has a good squad, and even without foreign aid, relegation in the Central League is still doable. However, the success rate of influencing the Chinese Super League is not great.
