Evergrande Football, the former soccer giant, metamorphosed into a Guangzhou team due to changes in the policy of the Football Association. There is an old saying that when the house leaks, the night rain adds to the chaos, and Evergrande is in financial difficulties. Guangzhou, once the 8-champion of the Chinese Super League, has lost its former majesty. Shortage of funds, loss of foreign aid, superstar players have left the team, the team's strength has plummeted, from the Super League to the Central League. Now the Guangzhou team, most of the players from the Evergrande gymnasium, all Chinese class lineup, performance is not satisfactory.
However, to our surprise, a team has emerged again in Guangzhou - Guangzhou Shadow Leopards. Recently, this team was formally established, and head coach Li Bing said at the establishment ceremony that the goal of this season is to go straight to the China B League. The rise of Guangzhou Shadow Panthers has undoubtedly brought great pressure to the Guangzhou team. The team will emerge in the China Champions League and try to influence the pattern of China B teams. Meanwhile, Guangdong is at the bottom of the China A League and is at risk of relegation.
If the two Guangzhou teams meet in the second division, fans may find that Evergrande's "sentimental" selling point in the Guangzhou soccer world will be taken away by Guangzhou Shadow Panthers. On the other hand, many big enterprises in Guangzhou, including Guangzhou Automobile, Guangzhou Pharmaceuticals, as well as seven state-owned enterprises have injected capital, and the establishment ceremony of Guangzhou Shadow Panther was even held at the original home ground of Guangzhou team, so the intention is self-evident.
Guangzhou Shadow Leopard's establishment, let some fans scoff at the golden dollar soccer, the splendor of the Chinese Super League's eight champions has passed away, the new Guangzhou team appeared on the soccer stage, the seven state-owned enterprises of the injection of funds, the Guangzhou team's financial crisis has not yet been resolved, the lack of superstar players to join, relying on local players to support, the team's strength declined, the trend of relegation let the fans feel doubly disappointed. In the future, the possibility of the merger of Guangzhou Shadow Leopard and Guangzhou team can not be ignored, which is undoubtedly a kind of bleak for Evergrande fans, and the beautiful memory of Evergrande soccer may only be left with memories.
When Cai Zhenhua was the president of the Football Association, Xu Jiayin's Guangzhou Evergrande stood alone. Although its prosperity stemmed from money, it still left fond memories for many fans. Nowadays, Chinese soccer missed out on the Asian Championship, match-fixing is rampant in the league, fans' enthusiasm has waned, and investors have withdrawn their money. It can be said that Du Zhaocai, Chen Xuyuan and other leaders of the Football Association have made very little contribution to Chinese soccer, even less than the gold-dollar soccer of Cai Zhenhua's era. Golden dollar soccer made Chinese soccer prosperous for a short time, but eventually went into decline. Personally, I believe that the inaction and corruption of the FA is the main reason for this situation.
