According to the red star news reporter revealed, the season on the eve of this drastic adjustment, in addition to the lineup of the new generation of blood injection, the pursuit of the road of rejuvenation, the club also intends to carry out a "rectification" campaign. The last season in the middle league only to the fourth place finish, even the threshold of the promotion of the play-offs have not been able to touch, the team's internal bad atmosphere caused by the decision-making layer and the management of the dissatisfaction, and the change of the manager, the change of the blood is based on this background and the launch of the. Examining the final result, this blood change seems to be imperative. Last season Chengdu Rongcheng team many players have stepped into the age of 35, physical problems have become a constraint on the team to achieve better results of the bottleneck, an authoritative source in the discussion of the team's last season, the root cause of the failure of the Super League, so that the articulation of: "the only 60-minute physical fitness!" In his opinion, 2020 team formation and winter training are ahead of schedule, and quite lucky, several key actions are stepped on the right point, not because of the sudden epidemic and affect the team's assembly and training, while many rivals because of the epidemic in the season before the start of the assembly, all the matches of the last season of the Central League in Chengdu, the grouping of the situation is very ideal, but the team's training level is unsatisfactory, the team's environment However, the team's training level was unsatisfactory, and the team environment and management were problematic, which was the root cause of last season's failure to reach the top.
Chengdu Football Association President Koo The executive committee of the National Football Association (NFA) and chairman of the Chengdu Football Association (CFA), Mr. Koo Jianming, has repeatedly emphasized to Red Star News that the refreshing atmosphere of Chengdu Rongcheng's team this season is the root of its impact on the Chinese Super League. Compared to the relatively "mild" management and training of former boss Carlos, Xu Zhengyuan is not as strong as his Korean predecessors Lee Jang-soo, Cha Fan-gon and Choi Kang-hee, but the large amount of training provides a guarantee of the team's fighting strength. Moreover, Xu Zhengyuan in management by example, before the season he brought a complete coaching team from South Korea, but little-known is that individual assistant coaches because of the violation of team rules during the season to leave the team. Xu Zhengyuan did not condone this issue, which also made the players feel pleased and convinced. Koo told Red Star News that the team's physical condition this season is significantly better than last season, especially after playing a full 34 rounds of league matches this season, and the players also experienced a long season across the year for the first time, but still managed to keep up the fight in the two-round play-offs. According to Koo's statistics, Chengdu Rongcheng has only had two players suffer from cramps on the field twice so far this season, a world of difference compared to last year in this regard.

[Liu Ruowan made a career breakthrough.]
With many veterans leaving the team before the season, there is bound to be fresh blood additions. In the winter and summer transfers last year, Chengdu Rongcheng brought in nearly 20 new players, which is a great effort in the Central League. Although the performance of some of the new recruits was not satisfactory, on the whole, Chengdu Rongcheng's reinforcement work has been effective and basically satisfactory. Liu Ruofan, who is on loan from Shanghai Shenhua, has made a big splash in this season's Central League, and as a result, was selected for the latest national team's roster, becoming the only Central League 1 international (before the play-offs) to achieve a breakthrough in his career. Despite being plagued by numerous injuries this season, Liu Ruofan scored 13 goals and assisted 3 times, finishing just 1 goal behind Leonardo in the team's top scorer list. Liu Ruofan is also only 1 goal behind Liang Xueming in the total scorer list of the Central League, ranking second among local scorers. What's more, Liu Ruowan Van is a U23 player, who can be used as a foreigner in terms of ability, and has shown the ability to make a difference in many key matches, while helping Chengdu Rongcheng to solve the problem of using U23 players in terms of age, which is something that can be found but not sought. Liu Ruofan has convinced Chengdu fans with his performances this season, and calls for the club to buy him out from Shanghai Shenhua have never stopped. However, Liu Ruofan's contract with Shanghai Shenhua expired at the beginning of this year, but Shenhua has the right of first refusal to extend his contract, so Chengdu Rongcheng will have to buy out the newly promoted international footballer, which is still quite difficult.

At the beginning of the season, Chengdu Rongcheng was once close to former international footballer Rong Hao, and at the beginning of last year, the team's hardcore supporters, the Red Blades Fan Club, even questioned the team's management because Chengdu Rongcheng had missed out on Rong Hao, suggesting that the club implement a "professional manager" employment system, in accordance with "professionalization" standards. The Red Blades fan club even wrote an article questioning the team's management problems because Chengdu Rongcheng missed out on Rong Hao, suggesting that the club implement a "professional manager" hiring system according to "professionalization" standards, and eventually the Chengdu Rongcheng club had to respond. According to the red star news reporter, the reason why Rong Hao arrived in Foshan and Chengdu Rongcheng after the meeting, there are some unexpected situations, resulting in other teams to Rong Hao that night to provide a contract, mainly because Chengdu Rongcheng and Rong Hao in the individual treatment, signing years and so on there is a certain difference. Giving a 34-year-old veteran a long contract is something that Chengdu Rongcheng, which was already preparing to build a younger team, really needs to deliberate again. But in terms of data, Rong Hao made 18 appearances in Wuhan Sanzhen this season, scoring 3 goals and assisting 2 times, and Han Guanghui made 17 appearances before his injury, also delivering 3 goals and 2 assists, which is actually not inferior to Rong Hao only in terms of data. If he is not injured, it is entirely possible for him to make a greater contribution to the team.
Leonardo Pic according to IC photo In terms of foreign aid, Chengdu Rongcheng's introduction this season is even less fussy, with all three of their current foreign aiders claiming to be top-notch in the Central League. Especially last season's replacement striker Leonardo, simple and dedicated, he came to China early before the new season, not only to avoid being unable to enter the country like other foreign aid, but also participated in the team's winter and spring training in full, which is also an important reason why his performance is significantly more than last year's. The first two phases of Chengdu Rongcheng's first two seasons in the Chinese League have been very successful, and the team has been very successful in the last two seasons. In the first two phases of the Chinese League One, Chengdu Rongcheng relied on Leonardo and Liu Ruowan vanadium to pick up the front line in the case of only a single foreign aid player, and the Brazilian ended up becoming the team's top scorer and assist leader with 14 goals and 11 assists, and with his conscientious and dedicated performance, he won the hearts of the Chengdu fans, and reportedly also received the attention of a number of Chinese Super League teams. Chengdu Rongcheng's biggest problem in terms of foreign aid this season was bad luck, as K-League phenomenon Romulo was unable to enter the country for a long period of time due to an epidemic, and only met the team before the start of the third phase along with Felipe, who joined the team in the summer transfer. Lacking training for a long period of time, both he and Felipe had to go through the actual league matches to complete their search for form and bond with the team, which should have been resolved during winter training. Authorities also lamented the situation: "Romulo came late, and with his ability, he would have performed much better if he had reported to the team in winter training. If he had been in the team from the start, Chengdu Rongcheng would more than likely have helicoptered to the Chinese Super League."
[The Bumpy Road to the Super League]
[There is a reason for the third-stage collapse.]
"Seo Jung-won suffered the loss of his mother during the preparation period.
The most regrettable thing for Chengdu fans this season is that the team "crashed" in the third stage, slipping off a cliff from the previous first place in the Central League to fourth place. In the fourth stage, the team put in a huge effort, blocking three consecutive super rivals: Zhejiang, Wuhan Sanzhen and Meizhou Hakka. Even in this stage of 8 games than the final helicopter in the Super League Meizhou Hakka more than 5 points, but also can not fill the big hole dug by themselves, had to participate in the play-offs, and the strength of their own Dalian people a cut life and death struggle. Chengdu Rongcheng's third phase was indeed an unforgettable part of the season, but it must be seen that Chengdu Rongcheng did encounter a lot of difficulties before and after the third phase. While preparing for the third stage of the competition, Xu Zhengyuan received the sad news that his mother had passed away in South Korea, and at one point he was ready to put down his work and rush back to South Korea to mourn. But after family persuasion and his own careful consideration, Xu Zhengyuan still decided to stick to his post, continue to lead the team to the super. Although Xu Zhengyuan in this season's deployment has a lot of questionable places, but in the professionalism level, anyone can not pick on him. He is the youngest child in his family, his mother gave birth to him in her forties, and the bond between mother and son is very deep. Red Star News reporter learned after the incident is that Xu Zhengyuan also has been in tears after learning the bad news, very low emotion. In this case, Xu Zhengyuan made to give up the decision to return to China to mourn is very difficult, then a source said to the red star news reporter: "In fact, in the past, there are also in China to play in the foreign aid or foreign teachers have encountered similar things, they basically left the team immediately, even if the contract breach is also no refusal. This is also human nature, we can understand. In fact, Xu Zhengyuan could have done the same thing, if he was determined to return to China, and because of the epidemic, quarantine and other policies it is difficult to take care of the third stage of the game, the biggest price is to not want this contract, pay some liquidated damages can be. So he stayed to continue to lead Chengdu Rongcheng to fight in the league, absolutely will not be for this salary, but really consider not to affect the big picture of Chengdu Rongcheng's Super League because of his own factors." After Xu Zhengyuan made his final decision, the Chengdu Football Association and Chengdu Rongcheng Club were all moved and touched, which really reflects the professionalism of a soccer coach! Chengdu Rongcheng's poor performance in the third phase is an indisputable fact, and there is no need for any "whitewash", but it is also true that the team was facing a lot of difficulties at that time. In addition to the pain of losing his mother, which inevitably affected Xu Zhengyuan's mood, Chengdu Rongcheng also suffered from injuries and suspensions in the third phase, Han Guanghui, Gou Junchen, Hu Yongfa, and Luo Muluo all missed important games in the third phase due to injuries and suspensions, which also contributed to the damage of the team's performance. In the second round of the crucial play-offs, Romulo played at a very high level and scored the winning goal. With this golden goal, Chengdu Rongcheng's efforts this year have been worthwhile!

[To alleviate players' worries about "losing their jobs after the Super Bowl"]
In the past, once the favorites of the Super League stepped on the brakes and dropped out, they would be questioned by outsiders that "some players are not willing to go up for their own rice bowls". Chengdu Rongcheng will inevitably face similar questions and accusations after slipping from the top of the league to the fourth in the third phase. Are there actually any players who are worried that they will lose their starting positions if they succeed in the Super League and thus perform out of their jobs? It's hard to judge such things from outside the team. However, Chengdu Rongcheng Club did not avoid such a sensitive topic at the critical moment, but took the initiative to communicate with the players. After confirming that they were going to participate in the Super League play-offs, many executives of Chengdu Rongcheng FC came to the training base on December 30, 2021, and held a pep rally for all the team members. In addition to motivating the team to make an impact on the Super League, the executives also introduced the club's "four-in" working method, which minimized any worries the players might have. The so-called "four into the" work method, refers to "enrollment, stationed, into the job, into the party", the club executives also retired last season to stay in the team to participate in the youth training work of the meritorious veteran He Yang as an example, introduced the "four into the" work method. The club's senior management also took the example of He Yang, a decorated veteran who stayed with the team to participate in youth training after retiring last season, to introduce the specific implementation of the "four into" working method. This is also to tell the players, after the success of the Super League, even if there will be veterans will retire or lose their position in the team, but also like He Yang, continue to stay in the club to participate in youth training, management and other aspects of the work. After all, Chengdu Rongcheng's investor Chengdu Xingcheng Group has the Jinjiang Greenway Xingcheng Soccer Park, Xindu Xingcheng International Soccer and Sports Park, the eastern sub-center of the Municipal Landscape Park and other projects, which in itself requires a large number of professionals to participate in the management of which the work of operation. And if young players can not continue to be based on the team, there are also "enrollment" way to reshape their future, after the completion of the study can re-enter the club work. This pep rally was a timely way to address the possible problems and allow the players to put down all their burdens to face the test of the play-offs. From the two rounds of the play-offs, it was clear that the team had really gritted their teeth and fought to the end, and I can't help but say that the pep rally before the trip to Suzhou came at just the right time.
