The situation in the Chinese Super League has changed dramatically this season. The former three top teams Guangzhou team , Guangzhou City and Hebei team currently occupy the last three seats in the standings and have become the favorites for relegation.
You must know that these three teams were once strong teams in the Chinese Super League, especially the Guangzhou team. After and Xu Jiayin took over, the team won the Chinese Super League eight times and reached the top of the AFC Champions League twice. The Club World Cup competes with Bayern and Real Madrid . Guangzhou City has always played the role of a wealthy killer. They have produced super shooters such as Zahavi , and have won the Chinese Super League Golden Boot many times. The Hebei team is also a typical representative of Jinyuan football. They have world-class stars such as Lavezzi and Mascherano, and they were once a popular team in the AFC Champions League.
Especially in the three seasons from 2016 to 18, the Hebei team spent the most in the Super League. They first signed defender Zhang Chengdong for 150 million yuan, then signed central defender Zhao Yuhao for 130 million yuan, and poached Zhao Mingjian from Shandong Luneng for 80 million yuan. Finally, the introduction of Ren Hang and Jin Yangyang each cost the Hebei team 78 million in transfer fees. Just for these five players in the midfield and backcourt, the Hebei team spent 516 million yuan. You can imagine how strong their financial resources were at that time.
In terms of foreign aid, the Hebei team spent as much as 1 billion on Lavezzi and Mascherano, including their transfer fees and sky-high wages. Therefore, the original Hebei team was completely comparable to Guangzhou Evergrande in terms of investment intensity, but it was a pity that their results did not reach the height of the Guangzhou team. Their best result in the Chinese Super League was fourth place in the league and they did not win any championship trophies. However, soon, the Jinyuan football bubble burst, and all the big-name foreign players of the Hebei team left the team. They were suddenly reduced from an AFC Champions League team to a relegation team.
However, the Hebei team's situation is far from simple. Due to previous excessive expenditures, the Hebei team's financial situation has experienced an extremely serious deficit after the golden tide has subsided. Although during the offseason, the Hebei team sold off all the main players who could be sold for money, they still could not make up for this huge hole. Now, the Hebei team has suffered 6 consecutive defeats in the new season and has not scored a point. Jin Zhongfu is powerless to deal with this situation. What's worse is that so far this season, the Hebei team's share reform work has not been completed, and the team's difficulties continue.
According to the news from " Football News ", the disbandment of the Hebei team has now become a foregone conclusion. The club's situation has become increasingly difficult because it has not received sufficient support from the local government. Although the government previously promised to sponsor and support the Hebei team, until now, nothing has been fulfilled. Coupled with the extremely poor results of the Hebei team in the new season, the province's willingness to rescue them is even weaker. Therefore, they may have been disbanded before the Hebei team is relegated this season.
Now that the situation is true, the Hebei team is the fifth top Chinese football team to be disbanded after Jiangsu Suning, Qingdao Huanghai, Tianjin Tianhai and Chongqing Liangjiang Athletics. This is a very ugly situation for Football Association . Obviously, the gold and yuan storm in the past has been repeatedly proven to be a wrong policy. I wonder how Chen Xuyuan will feel when they see the current situation.
Today's Chinese Super League has indeed entered a very low stage, and the development of the entire league is very abnormal. The team is completely relying on foreign aid to conquer the world. If this development continues, I am afraid that within ten years, Chinese football will be at the bottom of Asia.
