Guangzhou skipper Salvador and his team are burning with the flame of victory after the pressure of relegation in the season. At this moment, they were aware of the hardships behind the scenes, with the relegation target at the beginning of the season seemingly out of reach, and internal and external challenges coming one after the other, forcing them to adjust their strategies. Although the celebration seemed a bit retro, the joy was hard-won, in stark contrast to the glorious moments of Guangzhou soccer in the past.
Who would have expected that in just a few short years, the world of soccer has changed drastically. El Salvador received an exclusive interview with the media after the victory in the relegation battle, and he emphasized that the joint efforts of the Evergrande Soccer School staff, coaching team and players had forged this brilliant result. He did not forget to mention the glorious history of Guangzhou Evergrande, praising it as the bright pearl in the league, winning countless honors.
Talking about his coaching experience, Salvador proudly said that his team is unique in the first division thanks to the local players and the young talents from the soccer school. He is looking forward to more newcomers joining the team and energizing the team to improve its strength.
Looking ahead to next season, Salvador said that the team's goal remains unchanged and he is confident that an all-Chinese squad will still be able to challenge for the Chinese Super League. However, with the golden dollar era coming to an end, it will be challenging to compete with teams with international players. The only way for Guangzhou to return to glory is to rely on the rise of talented youngsters. It is understood that 19-year-old Xu Bin, Wang Shijie, Yang Dejiang and 18-year-old Li Xingxian will be the team's future stars.
Both Guangzhou fans and supporters of the national team are counting on these young players to grow up quickly and bring new hope and strength to Chinese soccer.
