A new chapter for Zhejiang Football Club
Time flies, four years of spring and autumn, zhejiang soccer club today officially renewed the contract with huanglong stadium, hand in hand to spend the next three years. According to soccer newspaper disclosure, zhejiang club's equity reform journey is difficult, but its pursuit of self-financing and operational breakthrough goal is unwavering.
Club executives revealed that the farewell to Huzhou home field is a difficult choice. Huzhou, the land that nurtured the club's growth, has given us unlimited support, and we sincerely look forward to continuing to work together. However, from the overall consideration of strategic development, we are eager to build a sustainable development platform. In this process, we are also committed to give back to the fans who have been with us, even in the period of the Central League, which is why we returned to the Huanglong Stadium.
Zhejiang Club returned to its hometown with two clear strategic goals: first, to improve the attendance rate of home spectators in the next three years; second, to further improve the club's self-blood-creation ability and operational efficiency. These two tasks are undoubtedly a huge challenge for the club. First of all, the issue of home crowd attendance. As Zhejiang has been in the doldrums of the Central League for a long time in recent years, after returning to the Chinese Super League, we are faced with a brand new game system and the challenge of relocating our home ground. Despite the long history of the club, the number of hardcore fans still needs to be improved compared to the Chinese Super League giants; the key to improving home crowd attendance lies in the stable operation of the club, which is based on ensuring stable results, and guaranteed by stable financial security and a high-quality management team.
At present, the biggest challenge facing Zhejiang club is financial pressure. After the withdrawal of Greentown, the new shareholders have not yet settled, and the progress of equity reform is slow. In the absence of further work instructions from the provincial government, the only shareholder, Zhejiang Energy, is also unable to independently bear the operating costs of the new season. Therefore, in the new season, Zhejiang did not carry out large-scale upgrading of the team lineup, the introduction of internal and external reinforcements is also mainly based on free agency or low rental fees.
Fortunately, Coach Jordy has brought radical changes to the Zhejiang team in the past few seasons, and has been able to show the charm of modern soccer even with the current players. In order to attract more spectators, Qiaodi will work closely with the club, not only pursuing excellence in matches, but also giving full consideration to the fans' viewing experience during training and matches.
