Since Guangzhou Evergrande's unfortunate fall from the altar, Shanghai Oriental Sports Daily has set off a storm, with "a stone stirring up a thousand waves" momentum, Evergrande pushed up to the peak of public opinion of the Chinese soccer "culprits". The media have accused, Evergrande advocated the golden dollar soccer movement, not only pushed up the cost, but also indirectly weakened the foundation of Chinese soccer. The article is sharp: "Evergrande regards money as the supremacy of soccer, and its capricious spending has broken the balance of the Chinese Super League. Numerous clubs have followed suit, treating soccer as a golden toy and abandoning the concept of steady soccer development. More and more wealth piling up, so that the Super League and competitive sports gradually far away, reduced to a game of burning money. Once the money dries up, the fate of the Chinese Super League will also face a crisis in the bottom of the cauldron!"
Oriental Sports Daily further blasted: "Evergrande claimed to have invested huge sums of money to build the Evergrande Soccer School, but in reality, it is nothing more than a paper exercise. Over the years, the league competition has overly relied on the introduction of big-name players, ignoring the importance of local youth training, making the poorly funded Evergrande a laughing stock and ultimately unable to escape the fate of relegation. Even Evergrande, the richest of the rich, has no regard for youth training, which undoubtedly sets a poor example for other Chinese Super League teams. Evergrande is to blame for the lack of successors in the Chinese Super League and the worrying future of Chinese soccer!"
The media summarized: "In the long river of Chinese soccer, Evergrande is just a hasty passer-by, even with a gorgeous coat, it is hard to hide the substance of its false appearance."
