3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, this is the league result achieved by Guangzhou in the second stage of the Chinese Super League. Although the club has not been paid for 3 months, the tenacious Guangzhou team still relies on the outstanding performance of a group of local players to achieve a good result of ranking second in the league.
In the last round of the league, Guangzhou relied on the goals of two U23 youngsters Ling Jie and Tan Kaiyuan to beat Hebei 2-0. While winning the match, they also locked up a place to play in the AFC Champions League next season.
After successfully completing the team's goals this season, Guangzhou executive coach Zheng Zhi also made an important decision, that is, to let the two international players in the team, Liu Dianzuo and Jiang Guangtai, leave the Guangzhou division early and start a vacation.
As we all know, since the beginning of this season's Chinese Super League, Guangzhou's international players have almost never rested. In addition to participating in the league with the team, they flew to West Asia several times with the national team for the World Preliminary Round of 12 matches. Because of the international epidemic, these internationals can only live a boring life in West Asia with two points and one line of hotels and training grounds.
After returning to China and ending the quarantine observation period, they immediately entered the division and competed with the team in the Chinese Super League, which is indeed very touching.
Now that the top four positions in the Chinese Super League championship group have been determined, and the young players in the team have begun to gradually pick up the team beams, the international players of Guangzhou who participated in all 6 rounds of 12 matches with the national team should have a good rest and share the joy with their families.
After Zheng Zhi made this decision, Liu Dianzuo and Jiang Guangtai left the Chinese Super League overnight after the guangzhou team and Hebei team match. Liu Dianzuo, who has already settled his home in Guangzhou, can immediately return home to reunite with his family.
It will take some time for Jiang To fly back to England. Due to the current situation of the Guangzhou club, whether Jiang Guangtai can stay in the team next season is still unknown. But now we can be sure that even if he can't stay in Guangzhou, Jiang Guangtai will definitely continue to stay in the Chinese Super League next season.
It is reported that both Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Haigang clubs are interested in signing the Chinese naturalized player next season. As for how Jiang Guangtai makes a choice next year, it depends on which of these two clubs can offer him better conditions.
Another international in the Guangzhou team, the team's captain Zhang Linpeng, did not choose to leave the Chinese Super League with Liu Dianzuo and Jiang Guangtai to start the holiday. He will continue to play alongside the team until the end of the season.
At the end of this season's Chinese Super League, the national team will immediately regroup and start preparing for the two round of 12 matches in January next year. According to the plan of the new national football coach Li Xiaopeng, the Football Association will announce the latest national football player list after New Year's Day. It is believed that Liu Dianzuo, Jiang Guangtai and Zhang Linpeng will all appear in this list.
Here, we also hope that the Guangzhou international players can use this time to have a good rest. When they return to the national team, they can maintain their best physical fitness and form, and fully prepare for the next 2 World Cup games.
