On January 25, 2022, New Express reporter Wang Enemy revealed on his social media account that Guangzhou City Football Club chairman Huang Shenghua gave insights on the topic of shareholding reform in the Chinese Super League at the China Football Celebrities Forum.
Huang Shenghua said bluntly at the forum that it is imperative for Guangzhou City FC to push forward the share reform, and emphasized that under the impact of the new crown epidemic, the soccer industry urgently needs to introduce diversified capital, including state-run, private and private enterprises, to jointly promote the prosperity of the soccer industry.
Regarding the coexistence of four Chinese Super League teams in Guangdong, Huang Shenghua said that with a population of 126 million, Guangdong's population base is large enough to accommodate four teams. However, the intensity of competition in Guangdong soccer is evident.
In addition, Huang Shenghua has high hopes for the stable development of the Chinese Super League, believing that only when the league is stable can we look to the future.
At the forum, Li Yingfa, known as the "Northeast Marshal", also delivered a speech. He pointed out that the main reason why Liaoning soccer has been declining in recent years is the neglect of the soccer cause.
Li Yingfa recalled that Liaoning soccer was once on par with Guangdong soccer, occupying half of the Chinese soccer world. However, with the neglect of the soccer business, Liaoning soccer gradually declined until Dalian Ren was relegated and Liaoning soccer completely withdrew from the Chinese Super League.
According to Li Yingfa, although Dalian's relegation was just an accident, it cannot hide the overall decline of Liaoning soccer. But he also firmly believes that with Liaoning's solid sports foundation, Liaoning soccer is expected to revitalize.
In response to the reasons behind Dalian's relegation, Li Yingfa said that it was not a matter of money, but rather the management's mistakes in hiring.
Li Yingfa concluded that with the right adjustments, the Darenians are expected to return to the Chinese Super League and Liaoning soccer will have a renaissance. (DD)
