With the home game coming to an end, Guangzhou locked up a top three spot with a win, giving the team a satisfactory answer to its 70 years of glory. As important as the team's 70-year paycheck is to its future, this is not just a "curtain dance.
Recently, Venom: The Last Carnival, created by Marvel Comics, was released in China, sparking heated discussions and emotions among many fans. When the Venom symbiote finally leaves its human host and bids farewell to Earth, a touch of sadness will inevitably well up in your heart. In the face of the beautiful things will soon be staged "curtain dance", accompanied by the memories of the former glory and shame, those who do not want to give up the regret and other emotions, is undoubtedly the most sincere expression.
Perhaps it is inextricably linked to our daily lives. At the end of the movie, the author could not help but be in deep thought. Of course, he would think of the Guangzhou team he has accompanied for 13 seasons: of the former glory, of the present-day predicament, and of the huge gap! However, after the last home game yesterday afternoon, Guangzhou beat Yanbian Longding 3:1, seeing the enthusiastic reaction of the fans, the departure of many meritorious players and famous players, and the vitality of Salvador in leading this young team ...... All the sadness seems to have dissipated at this moment. Founded in 1954, so far (2024) exactly 70 anniversary of the Guangzhou team, is still loved by countless people and perseverance. Its footsteps will never stop, and there has never been the so-called "end of the dance", the future is still full of hope!
Yes, this year marks the 70th anniversary of the Guangzhou team, just like the slogan of the fan square after the game - only 30 years left before the 100-year team! After 70 years of ups and downs, Guangzhou team has experienced ups and downs, but the spirit of the 1954 team that has been passed down to this day is worthy of admiration in the Chinese soccer world. Therefore, we cherish this hard-won honor even more. We will continue to pass on the spirit and essence of this team to create a 100-year team in the true sense.
In recent years, Guangzhou team does face a lot of survival challenges, but at critical moments, there is always someone to lend a helping hand to save the team in distress, so that the team can continue to this day. However, competitive and professional sports ultimately rely on strength. As a matter of fact, the head coach Salvador has brought many positive factors to the Guangzhou team, helping the team out of the doldrums, towards hope and recognition, and just one step away from glory. We sincerely thank this outstanding coach.
At the beginning of the season, with many young players replacing the starters, we feared that Guangzhou's competitiveness would plummet and even suffer a relegation crisis. However, this was not the case. Such a crisis did not happen, and the team's performance steadily improved, surpassing seemingly stronger rivals in the rankings, and finally beating Yanbian Longding yesterday to move ahead of Chongqing Tongliang Dragons, successfully locking up a top-three position in this year's First Division League. It's great that this so-called crisis has turned into an opportunity, but in the end, it's still a triumph of strength. After all, this is a long league match, not a short cup match, where strength and luck together influence the final ranking.
Although Guangzhou's chances of overtaking are currently slim, with the initiative in the hands of Dalian Yingbo, the suspense remains, at least in the penultimate round. They will have to go all out to really determine success or failure. Looking at the current situation of Guangzhou team facing difficulties and low-cost operation, it is not easy to achieve such a result, and it can be said that they have achieved a great success. Therefore, in yesterday's home game, Guangzhou locked up the top three places with a victory, which certainly gave everyone a satisfactory answer and delivered a satisfactory answer to the fans who supported them all the way.
Looking back at the game, although Yanbian Longding didn't give up, Guangzhou showed a strong pressing force from the start. The young players gave full play to their training at home and played a great combination of offense and defense. Alegria was the first to break the deadlock, controlling the rhythm and trend of the game. Wu Yongqiang's goal was the icing on the cake, helping the team get closer to victory. In the first half, Guangzhou had a clear advantage and hardly gave their opponents too many chances. In the second half, Yanbian adjusted their personnel and technical tactics, which once made Guangzhou feel uncomfortable and led to the loss of the ball. But fortunately, it was all just a false alarm. Eventually, Guangzhou players regained their confidence and won the game with a goal from young player Bai Yutao.
This well-deserved victory helped Guangzhou lock up a top-three spot in the 2024 First Division, with a third-place result in the final round. With a little more luck, the possibility of overtaking still exists! Unfortunately, the initiative was in the hands of Dalian Yingbo rather than Guangzhou themselves. The root cause was the failure to win the previous match against the vice-champion Jiangxi Lushan, which was 2 points short. With these two points, Guangzhou is now tied with Dalian Yingbo, and finally controls the initiative. Unfortunately, there are no ifs in athletics. If you miss it, you can only blame it on your inexperience and the need to pay some tuition fees. This is normal, but the future is obviously full of hope.
It's going to be a tough battle on the road against Nanjing in the final round. But everything is possible until the last minute. That's the beauty of competitive sports, so young players don't give up, it's worth asking for. This year's results have been outstanding enough and you have been recognized. For the final battle, expect a happy ending.
