Commenting on Guangzhou's recent performance, veteran soccer media personality Feng Zhen revealed that since Salvador took over the team, Guangzhou has been transformed, rising from its former low point and accumulating 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in a short period of time. Salvador's talent is expected to mold the Guangzhou team into a new force in China's first division. If the young talent from the Evergrande soccer academy can continue to refine their skills in the top flight, Guangzhou is expected to complete a comeback in two years. Guangzhou's majority shareholder, Hui Kayan, has also spared no effort to motivate the team, shouting "wait for me to rise again"! These six words reveal the determination of Evergrande and the Thai group, vowing to revitalize the team, Guangzhou and Hong Kong together.
Since Hui Kayan joined the Guangzhou team, he has selflessly invested money to help the team win eight titles in the Chinese Super League and the glory of the Asian Championship twice. With soccer as its trump card, Evergrande Group has rapidly increased the brand power and popularity of Evergrande Real Estate. If Xu Kayin can revive the team, Guangzhou will certainly get strong support from the club, and the internal and external reinforcements and the lineup will usher in a qualitative leap, which is exactly the key for Guangzhou to be able to fight against Shanghai Seaport, Shandong Taishan and other powerhouses. However, many fans of Shanghai Harbor and Shandong Taishan may just laugh at this with contempt, as Evergrande's current debt problems make them scoff.
Whether or not Xu Jiayin can return in two years, the Evergrande Soccer School he founded will be self-sufficient. As long as the club operates normally, Guangzhou will be able to rely on the young players produced by the school to secure their place in the First Division. These young players will also gain valuable experience in China's top league. If Guangzhou's players are able to make a name for themselves in the First Division, they will be eagerly sought after by other Chinese Super League teams, which to a certain extent will alleviate Guangzhou's financial burden and ensure the team's sustainable development. At the same time, the Chinese national soccer team will also benefit from this, and the elite players of Evergrande Soccer School are expected to become the new force of the national team.
If Guangzhou can achieve this goal, I believe that all Chinese fans will express their heartfelt respect to Xu Jiayin, because he has fundamentally solved the problem of the lack of talent in Chinese soccer. Only if the Chinese Super League A teams really pay attention to the development of young players, they will be able to send fresh blood to the national team, and the dream of the revival of Chinese soccer will come true.
