Jiangsu Suning suddenly disbanded after winning the championship, a farce that has sparked heated debate in the global soccer community. Now, the Chinese Super League may add another curiosity to the list, as a team facing dissolution after winning the title has been unexpectedly reinforced by the Kung Fu team.
It is now March and the league's admission formalities are yet to come to an end. According to the latest news, there are still a few teams that are still in limbo due to salary arrears. This means that as the new league season begins, a number of teams could be in danger of disbanding without even realizing it - are they on their own, or is it just a case of two fists against four? However, before these teams could disband, a Hebei team that has been relegated to the Central League came out of nowhere.
In the 2022 season, three teams were promoted to the Super League. Jiangsu Kunshan entered the Super League as champions, and Jiangsu once again had a Chinese Super League team. Kunshan's performance in 2022 even surpassed that of Wuhan Sanzhen, with only one loss, 28 wins and 5 draws after 34 rounds.
Wuhan Sanzhen is expected to win the 2022 season title. Jiangsu fans likewise expect Kunshan to follow Sanzhen's example and, even if they cannot win the title, at least strive for a top finish or at least succeed in relegation to avoid two consecutive relegations in one season.
Teams from the First Division to the Chinese Super League must bring in strong reinforcements to strengthen their teams if they want to achieve excellent results or relegation success. Jiangsu fans are eagerly awaiting Kunshan's heavyweight signing, while the Kunshan Music Department has remained tight-lipped, which seems to signal a surprising move for Kunshan - will it take the crown or is there another plan?
However, reporter Li Jianli broke the heavy news that Kunshan did not make any big signings and instead suffered a difficult situation. According to Li Jianli, Kunshan did not pay bonuses after their successful promotion in the 2022 season, and the players have not been paid since 2023. In addition, the players of Kunshan club have not yet been notified to return to the team.
Based on the current state of the Kunshan team, it seems that the shadow of disbandment is rapidly looming. If Kunshan does pull out of the Chinese Super League, it will undoubtedly add a dash of talk to the Chinese soccer league. Do you remember? Chinese League One side Shijiazhuang Kung Fu claimed in an interview that they were ready to enter the Chinese Super League, and it seems that this is not just empty talk, so perhaps they have heard some whispers.
According to the supplementary rules, if Jiangsu Kunshan is dissolved, the supplementary place will be awarded to Shijiazhuang Kung Fu. This will give Hebei two Chinese Super League teams. After the dissolution of Suning, Jiangsu ushered in another Chinese Super League team, and the exit of Kunshan will undoubtedly make Jiangsu fans suffer another heavy blow.
