On January 25, Wang Enemy, a reporter from the New Express, exposed on his social media platform that Huang Shenghua, the chairman of Guangzhou City Football Club, expressed his insights on the topic of the Chinese Super League (CSL) shareholding reform at the CSL Football Celebrity Forum.
Huang Shenghua said bluntly at the forum that share reform is imperative for Guangzhou City, and the club is making every effort to push forward the reform. He emphasized that under the influence of the new crown epidemic, the soccer industry is in urgent need of diversified capital injection, including state-owned enterprises, private enterprises, etc., to jointly promote the prosperity of the soccer industry.
On the question of whether the four teams in Guangdong can co-exist, Huang Shenghua believes that Guangdong has a huge population base of 126 million people, but limited soccer resources to accommodate four Chinese Super League teams is stretched to the limit.
In addition, Huang Shenghua expects the system of the Chinese Super League to be more perfect, and stability will ensure the long-term development of the league.
At the forum, Li Yingfa, known as the "Northeast Marshal", also expressed his views. He believes that the main reason for the decline of Liaoning soccer in recent years is that Liaoning does not pay enough attention to soccer.
Li Yingfa recalled that Liaoning soccer used to run neck and neck with Guangdong soccer, occupying half of the Chinese Super League, but with the neglect of soccer, the number of Liaoning teams gradually decreased.
With the relegation of Dalian Ren, the Liaoning team has officially bid farewell to the top league of the Chinese Super League. Li Yingfa said that even if Dalian Ren's loss in the play-offs was just an accident, it could not hide the overall decline of Liaoning soccer.
However, Li Yingfa firmly believes that with Liaoning's sports foundation, Liaoning soccer is still expected to rise. He believes that the relegation of Dalian as a soccer city with first-class hardware facilities is not the end of the world for the Dalian people.
Li Yingfa pointed out that the relegation of the Dalianese was not due to financial problems, but the management had problems in selecting and hiring.
Finally, Li Yingfa said that as long as all the adjustments are in place, Dalian will return to the Chinese Super League and Liaoning soccer will have a renaissance. (DD)
