Two teams from Jiangsu, Kunshan and Nantong Zhiyun, are about to make their mark on the Chinese Super League this season. According to industry insiders, Nantong Zhiyun is building a brand new team at a very low cost. The team has not only hired the youngest manager in the history of the Chinese Super League, but also signed Wang Song, one of the youngest players in the Chinese Super League, showing how low its investment is. All of this makes one wonder what is so unique about this team's operational strategy!
The battle for survival in the Chinese Super League is becoming more and more intense, and any team could suffer the fate of relegation. Low-cost operations have become a common phenomenon, with clubs such as Henan Songshan Longmen and Zhejiang seeking to reduce operating expenses. The Chinese Super League seems to be moving in the direction of being a "public welfare league". However, we must recognize that without adequate financial support and the limitations of the current level of Chinese players, the spectacle and attractiveness of the Chinese Super League may continue to decline in the future!
