Restricted by the stagnation of share reform and the delay of funds, Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic fell into financial difficulties, the loss of coaches and players, and the foreign aid Deyakonu even sued the club to FIFA. Before the second stage of the league, the club even had difficulty paying the match deposit due to financial problems.
It is reported that Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic's share reform process is slow, and so far it is still negotiating with corporate executives. With the impact of epidemic, reduced ticket revenue, weak soccer market, and lack of support from the parent company, Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic's road to survival has become more and more difficult. The logistic staff had no salary for several months, the main players have left the team, the first team in the second stage of the League once only 19 people left, the team is facing the risk of withdrawal, and can only urgently recruit young players to "put out the fire".
Many people thought that the end of Chang'an Athletic was coming, however, it was this group of players with soccer dreams who stood firm and created a miracle. in the middle of July, the second phase of the Central League was opened, and Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic ended the phase with an undefeated record of 5 wins and 3 draws, and ranked the fourth place in the standings. The northwest wolf spirit of Chang'an Athletic won wide praise from the soccer world and all walks of life.
This season, there are three places for the Super League, and the top three teams will be directly promoted to the next season's Super League. At the beginning of the season, Shaanxi Chang'an Athletic had set up a flag for the Super League, and despite the financial constraints, the team has kept the hope of the Super League on the field, and is currently ranked fourth in the league. For the club, the road to the Super League is full of challenges, not the team's strength is not enough, but the financial difficulties. If it is difficult to guarantee the deposit for the first division, how can we talk about the Super League? In fact, once the financial problem is solved, the pace of the Northwest Wolves will be more stable.
