Rumor has it that Guangzhou Evergrande's salary dispute with coach Carnavaro has resurfaced, with Carnavaro stating outright that he is owed over a million euros in back wages.
Before Boss Xu took over, the two sides had an amicable relationship, but Cannavaro was unemployed and at home, while Boss Xu was nowhere to be heard from, which led to the issue of Cannavaro's unsettled salary being indirectly pushed onto the Guangzhou team in the Central League.
For Guangzhou, this debt of more than a million euros has turned out to be an operational burden for many years.
Faced with a huge sum of money, Guangzhou tried to impress Cannavaro with emotions, hoping that he would temporarily or completely give up the salary. But unfortunately, Guangzhou Evergrande's relationship with Cannavaro is purely commercial and lacks a human touch.
Guangzhou team feel helpless with Cannavaro's attitude. Carnavaro made it clear that emotion and salary are two different things! If the salary dispute cannot be properly resolved, he will complain to the FA and even FIFA. Once the FA or FIFA confirms that Guangzhou team has a debt dispute, they will be banned from the league, which means that Guangzhou team may not be able to continue to participate in the professional league of the Chinese A League!
For the Guangzhou team, this unexpected event is undoubtedly an unprecedented disaster.
Even though relegation and the all Chinese class strategy did not break Guangzhou, who managed to stay up in the Central League, Cannavaro's high salary could put the team in trouble and even face the possibility of disbanding!
Some fans believe that Cannavaro has given the team enough face time, and has done so for two years. If anyone accuses Cannavaro of not giving face, that's the one who really needs to face.
How can you expect others to respect you when you don't even care about your own dignity?
As for the $200 million in reconciliation fees that Chen Xuyuan has yet to pay, the 7 million or so RMB is just the tip of the iceberg.
