Just when everyone thought the storm was about to die down, a series of changes happened in May: a fitness coach suddenly left the club, shocking everyone; followed by the goalkeeper coach who took a leave of absence due to a family matter, but it turned into a permanent goodbye; and even more depressing was that the only remaining assistant coach joined the A-level coaching training of the European Football Association (EFA). This series of events not only left the fans disheartened, but the players also had no confidence in the future. It seemed that they could only watch the coaching team fall apart and drift apart. At this chaotic moment, Tatoe was unable to support the team, and even needed the team doctor to act as the physical fitness coach. This certainly reflects the loss of confidence in the team as a whole, and it's not easy to maintain the status quo, let alone the dream of going to the Super League.
The road to Sichuan Jiuniu's home stadium has been unusually winding. Initially, the team was temporarily housed in Shuangliu Sports Center and Chengdong Football Park, only to be angered by the polite rejection of several cities. They saw this as a reflection of the team's lack of development potential, and in turn their rejection. What kind of change would be brought about if the team succeeded in reaching the Super League? Eventually, they found a new home in Suining. However, this new home was over 200 kilometers away from Sheffield United's base, and games and training had to spend a lot of time on the road, encountering difficulties. Huang Qiang, discussing the topic of sports, pointed out that the saying "good things come in small packages" applies to Sichuan Jiuniu in particular. When outsiders wanted to give up on the team, they chose to stick with it, showing strong determination and achieving a series of results that won them recognition. With the concerted efforts of the Sichuan Jiu Niu club, they not only won the Central League Championship, but also succeeded in breaking through to the Super League two rounds ahead of schedule. This achievement is a strong rebuff to the skepticism of foreign investment in soccer. At the very least, foreign investment has become an indispensable force in the development of Chinese soccer by providing new ideas in a situation where local companies are reluctant to invest.
