Today, the last round of the 2021 relegation group of the Chinese Super League was over, and finally Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Wuhan Team and Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic successfully landed, and joined hands with Shanghai Shenhua, Henan Songshan Longmen and Cangzhou Xiongshi to complete the relegation. Dalian and Qingdao will play a promotion and relegation play-off against the third and fourth places in the Chinese First Division, deciding who will ultimately stay in the Chinese Super League next season. The relegation battle is over, and the final round of the championship group will also be played tomorrow as scheduled. In other words, the Chinese Super League champion has been decided, the AFC Champions League quota has also been determined, and the competition in the championship group seems to have no point of view. However, this is not the case.
Shanghai Harbor, as the most expensive team in the Chinese Super League, faced the Guangzhou team of the all-Chinese class in the first leg, and there was nothing he could do to take the young Guangzhou team. In the end, the two teams fought 1-1, which is undoubtedly a "shame" for Shanghai Harbor. Tomorrow, the two teams will usher in the second leg of the meeting, in the case of Liu Dianzuo and Jiang Guangtai left the division early, if Shanghai Harbor can not beat the Guangzhou team, then I am afraid that in the future, when shouting the slogan of the championship, it will become a laughing stock of people. Of course, this is not the biggest highlight of tomorrow's game.
We all know that this season's Guangzhou team has encountered unprecedented difficulties, and even does not rule out that it will be disbanded on the spot. Although, in recent days, many media have reported that Guangzhou will definitely continue to stay in the Chinese Super League next season. However, there is one detail that I am afraid will be overlooked by most fans. That is, the "Guangzhou Daily" said in the report: "Next season, players with contracts will stay in the team." The implication of this sentence is that players whose contracts expire are afraid to leave the team. So, which players in the Guangzhou team have expired their contracts?
We intercepted the contract information of the main lineup of guangzhou from the official website of the German transfer team. Among them, the main goalkeeper Liu Dianzuo, the defender Mei Fang, the right sharp knife Deng Hanwen, the midfield veteran "World Expo" Huang Bowen, the veteran captain and head coach Zheng Zhi, and the Chinese Super League "Pirlo" Liao Lisheng all expired. That is to say, these players may usher in a farewell battle tomorrow.
Of course, due to special reasons, Zheng Zhi, the veteran captain and head coach, will most likely stay in the team, and next season does not rule out signing a new contract with Guangzhou as a coach. And Huang Bowen and Mei Fang, who have hardly played this season, are likely to officially break up with Guangzhou after tomorrow. Coincidentally, at this afternoon's pre-match press conference, Liu Zhiyu broke the ground and brought Mei Fang, who had not been injured for a long time. In addition to Huang Bowen and Mei Fang, Liu Dianzuo, Liao Lisheng and Deng Hanwen are all young players and indispensable main players of the team.
However, the current situation of the Guangzhou team is still unknown. At the end of the season, if the club's share reform plan cannot be determined quickly, then the 3 players will definitely take the initiative to submit their resumes for job hunting. Of course, in terms of the strength of Liu Dianzuo, Liao Lisheng and Deng Hanwen, it is still relatively easy to find a job in the Chinese Super League. In this case, no matter which club you sign with, I am afraid that the income will be greatly reduced.
