On August 25th, Shaanxi Sports News came to us that Chang'an Athletic, which had stumbled on the road of stock reform for a long time and was on the verge of breaking its financial chain, was performing an unyielding legend on the field of the Central League. In the face of heavy difficulties, the team not only succeeded in preserving the undefeated gold body, but also won numerous praises for its extraordinary team spirit and professional demeanor.
The share reform stumbled, funding shortfalls became the norm, coaches and foreigners left the club, and Diaconu even took the club to FIFA. The second phase of the Central League came and went, with the club struggling to raise even a deposit, and the situation was precarious. And all of this is getting tougher and tougher against the backdrop of epidemics, plummeting gate receipts and a sluggish soccer market.
Despite the fact that the club's backroom staff went without pay for months, the loss of key players, the sharp decrease in the number of first-team players, and even the risk of withdrawing from the competition, the players of Chang'an Athletic chose to stick to their guns. They jumped to the fourth place in the table with 5 wins and 3 draws in the second phase of the Central League, writing a miracle belonging to them with the tenacious spirit of the Northwest Wolves.
The competition for the Super League places in the Central League is fierce, and the top three teams will go straight to the Super League. At the beginning of the season, although Chang'an Athletic shouted the slogan of super league, but the shadow of lack of funds always hangs over them. The road to the Super League is full of challenges in the case of unsustainable funds. However, as long as the financial problems can be solved, Chang'an Athletic's pace will be more solid.
