In person, a total of only 12 players showed up at the Guangzhou Galaxy Sports Center secondary field for training. Considering the cost of lighting and other expenses needed for night training, the Guangzhou team's training time was set in the afternoon.

Normally, it is used as a training ground for the Guangdong Provincial Amateur Athletics Team and the Galaxy Stadium Amateur Football Training Course. A few years ago, it was also used as the training base for China's national women's and men's soccer teams, and Lippi had led the national team to prepare for the game here.

The effectiveness of the Guangzhou team's training under such conditions is evident.

However, as the club has not yet found a new investor, the players are not optimistic about the future of the team.
Therefore there are players who wish to leave the Guangzhou team at the end of the season, which will more or less affect the current training.
