There is no doubt that Jiang Lizhang and the Contemporary Group behind him, as a foreign giant taking over the Chongqing soccer club, are not just aiming to help the development of Chongqing's soccer business. In retrospect, when the Contemporary Group acquired Jiang's Double-Edged Sword Company, it was with the intention of expanding its listed company's footprint into the popular sports industry. Jiang Lizhang, as one of the key decision makers of the contemporary Mingcheng, its layout of Chongqing soccer, is to further expand the territory of the sports industry, and try to use the soccer industry as a springboard to get involved in the highly profitable real estate industry and other fields. However, the relevant departments of Chongqing Municipality have always been strict on the policies of the soccer industry, which is why Chongqing Lifan Club's long-term holdings of the Yanghe soccer base can not be transformed from cultural and sports land to commercial land. Contemporary Group has not reaped the expected returns from its investment in Chongqing soccer. As a listed company, Contemporary Group has to consider the input-output ratio of its enterprises.
As China's soccer environment continued to deteriorate, the Contemporary Group eventually lost its patience. First, the head of the sports sector, Jiang Lizhang, parted ways with the Contemporary Group, followed by the mass withdrawal of his team. Contemporary then appointed Wu Jiang as the club's head, and in the face of such a complicated situation, Wu Jiang's road to the top was full of ups and downs. He had to deal with the pressure from team members and club staff to collect their salaries, and at the same time try to boost the team's morale and deliver a satisfactory answer to the Contemporary Group. During the 2020 and 2021 seasons, Wu Jiang was under high pressure almost every day, maintaining a precarious balance. Fortunately, he successfully completed the Contemporary Group's mission and delivered commendable results in both seasons.
Chongqing has traveled the path of soccer realism quite well in recent years. They have firstly clarified their own positioning and found a strategy to survive in the professional league; they are good at making a big difference with a small amount of money, and the foreigners they brought in all have the potential to grow, are moderately priced, and after a period of time, their value has multiplied. Moto is one of the best. In the second half of the 2020 season, even if the relegation situation is clear, the team will still be the core of the foreign aid loaned out, not only to save wages, but also a small amount of rent, this move is the first in the Chinese Super League to rent foreign aid. 2021 season before the club will even be the high-paid foreign aid resale of all these initiatives is the key to the survival of the Chongqing team in the Chinese Super League.
One of the major strengths of Chongqing is the unity of the team. In the Chinese Super League, many teams have too many big players, and the prevalence of headship has led to the team's inability to form a united force, which is a common problem for Chinese teams. The stability of Chongqing's performance is due to the unity of the team. There are no absolute big players in the team, and Wu Qing, the real core of the team today, has a calm personality and is not controlling or jealous. Head coach Zhang Wailong is also a selfless person, and this kind of staffing makes the Chongqing team almost indestructible.
Despite Chongqing Two Rivers Athletic struggling to survive relegation in the final hurdle of the 2021 League in a tragic hero's fashion, their plight will not be completely alleviated.
