The owner's management encountered a bottleneck and wanted to move the team to Shenzhen, but encountered obstruction from the local authorities, and the transfer plan eventually fell through, a move that not only offended the local forces, but also caused the sponsors to cut their funding. They saw the move as a betrayal of the city and chose to let it go. Now that the transfer is out of the question and the authorities are pissed off, the future doesn't look good. Beyond that, what are the hidden agendas to be solved?
Spanish-born head coach Pablo's guidance failed to live up to expectations as the team performed poorly in the first half. The players were not comfortable with abandoning traditional ground passing and possession tactics, making it difficult for the team to win. Although the decorated coach was later brought back, not much time was left for him. The team missed a good opportunity to grab points against a strong team. Perhaps, inviting a well-known local coach to intervene can bring about a turnaround. In this day and age, relationships are crucial. For example, Cangzhou Lions invited Li Xiaopeng and Qingdao West Coast invited Shao Jiayi, both of whom are not top coaches but have wide connections and significant results.
Huang Qiang mentioned in his sports commentary that it is not easy for Meizhou Hakka, as a county-level team, to last three years in the Chinese Super League. The team's relegation this year was unexpected. Behind this is the result of a variety of factors intertwined. At first, the team wanted to move to Shenzhen, but failed to do so and offended the local authorities. The owner, a real estate businessman, is now in trouble and wants to give up the team and run another low-level team. Surprisingly, the team is underperforming. They wanted to return to Meizhou Hakka, but disappointed many. There are also problems with the head coach, who was good at ground passes and ball control, but under Pablo's guidance he has changed his tactics, leading to an embarrassing situation for the team.
