Guangzhou, the eight-time champions of the Chinese Super League (CSL), are now in the first division of the Chinese Super League (CSL), but with a safe distance of 12 places, the road to relegation is no longer in doubt. Although there are still a few rounds left in the league, Guangzhou has already shown its ambition to compete for the top eight. According to Soccer Daily, even though owner Xu Jiayin has suffered a change of heart, the team and the club's daily operations are still in order, and the team is not slacking in its preparations for the China League One tournament.
Boss Xu's exit has left the Guangzhou team in financial difficulties, but it has unexpectedly spawned a force for self-improvement. The Evergrande Football School has become self-sustaining, and the principal of the school, Liu Qian, has been appointed chairman of the club, shouldering the heavy responsibility for the future of the team and the school. However, finding a strong receiver does not seem to be easy, and the only thing Guangzhou team can do is to hope that the Football Association will refund the transfer adjustment fee paid in the past to solve the pressing problem.
The splendor of the Chinese Super League's golden dollar era is now a thing of the past, and the huge transfer adjustment fees paid by clubs such as Guangzhou for the Football Association have become an unresolved mystery. The Guangzhou team is eager for the FA's refund assistance in order to find a way out of their business difficulties. The Evergrande Football Academy, the hopeful star of Chinese soccer, is constantly sending young talents to the first team.
Although Chairman Xu's return seems far-fetched, Guangzhou's performance in the Central League has proven its potential. If the FA can refund the transfer adjustment fee, Guangzhou's business situation is expected to be refreshed. If the chairman can operate skillfully to attract investment and bring in foreign aid, then Guangzhou's journey back to the Chinese Super League next season may not be hopeless.
