The resolution of the Football Association has provoked a wide-ranging debate in fan circles, with opinions clearly divided. The pro-football team's view is that if the Guangzhou soccer team stays in the lower league due to lack of funds and strength, it will actually weaken the overall competitiveness of the Chinese Super League. On the other hand, the opposition, mainly Guangzhou fans, firmly believe that this is a shortcut for the team to return to the top league.
Feng Zhen's dynamics seem to signal a hopeless return for Guangzhou, however, the team's desire to return may not be as strong as outsiders think. Head coach Zheng Zhi's attitude is intriguing, as he believes that relegating the team to the first division would usher in a lot of young blood, which might not be all bad for Zheng. Zheng Zhi has the opportunity to practice his soccer philosophy more thoroughly, and if he can lead the team back to the Chinese Super League, his coaching career will leave a brilliant mark. Perhaps it is these considerations that make Zheng Zhi's determination to go with the team strong.
