In the 15th round of the Chinese Super League, the Cangzhou Lions lost 2-4 to Wuhan. Rather than saying that the new coach Sablic and the team are not in place, it is better to say that the Cangzhou Lions, which lack two absolute core players, Muric and Akhmedov, do not have the ability to win for the time being. It is understood that among the two, Muric himself has confirmed the termination of his contract with the club, and Akhmedov is looking for a "next home" in Uzbekistan.
In January 2019, Muric signed a contract with the former Shijiazhuang Yongchang Club with a "2+1" cycle. Last season, Yongchang once failed to relegate, so Muric had the idea of leaving the team under the problem of team record and family reality. At the end of the 2019 season, Muric returned to Brazil for a sabbatical with his family. However, due to the subsequent outbreak of the epidemic, his wife and children have not been able to reach China. Last year, Muric also won thousands of dollars. However, due to the impact of the epidemic, Muric can only work alone in China.
At the end of December last year, Muric expressed his willingness to fulfill the remaining terms of the "2+1", which means that he is willing to continue to play for the team for one year. Muric had put forward a "performance" condition at that time, that is, he hoped that the club would bring his wife, son and daughter to China as soon as possible to live together. The Cangzhou Lions Club has also been helping Muric with the relevant matters.
In fact, when he represented the Yongchang team in the Chinese First Division two years ago, Muric's family had plans to settle in China. After all, his eldest son was born in Guangzhou, and later, Muric also entrusted him with Chinese. Including after going to Shijiazhuang, gabriel was sent to the local kindergarten to study and receive traditional Chinese cultural education. After the birth of his youngest daughter, Muric plans to bring the whole family to China for a few more years. However, due to the impact of the epidemic, he has never been able to achieve his wishes.
In September, Muric, who was suffering from family troubles, applied to the club to terminate his contract. Cangzhou Club allegedly quickly reached an agreement with Muric to terminate the contract. In fact, before the new coach Sablic took office, the Cangzhou team was ready for Muric's inability to return to the team, after all, his contract will expire at the end of this year.
Akhmedov's situation is more complicated than Muric's. That's because his contract with Cangzhou Lions won't expire until the end of 2022. But for the future plan, Akhmedov's idea is not the only one. It is reported that many years ago, Aha was in his hometown, Namangan, Uzbekistan, and opened a football academy in his personal name. After returning to Uzbekistan this fall, he joined hands with 12 local clubs and the Namangan Football Association to invest in a valley football program focused on youth competitions. Later, Akhmedov donated a new football stadium to the Republic Academy of the Olympic Reserve, where he had studied. In Uzbekistan football, his current role seems to be moving closer to that of a youth expert. However, Akhmedov did not retire.
In fact, the Cangzhou Lions originally planned to fight for Akhmedov to return to the team as soon as possible. After Sablic took over the team, the matter was once again put on the club's work agenda. However, due to the epidemic and the restrictions on international travel conditions, Aiha has not been able to return to China.
A few weeks ago, the Cangzhou Lions communicated online with Akhmedov and his agent and confirmed that he was no longer able to represent Cangzhou in the second stage of the Chinese Super League. Subsequently, it was reported that the Cangzhou Lions Club had tacitly agreed that Akhmedov could freely find his next home.
It is reported that the Uzbekistan league transfer window officially opened on December 6. Some local clubs came into contact with Akhmedov. At present, Uzbekistan's league champions Miannong and Namangan Nafbajo (5th in the league last season) are interested in bringing in Aiha. According to the analysis of the local media in Uzbekistan, The chances of Aiha returning to his old owner cotton farmers are greater.
