Guangzhou, which is considered to be on the verge of disbandment, is playing better and better, and the recent good news has continued - not only won the last 6 rounds of unbeaten and 3 consecutive wins in the Chinese Super League, but also the good news in the club's stock reform. All indications show that this Chinese Super League eight-time champion team is expected to stand on the Chinese Super League stage with a new attitude in the new season.
Just now, Li Xuan, director of the football newspaper, broke the news that made Evergrande fans excited, and Zheng Zhi, the coach of Guangzhou team who recently won the 21st round of the best player, proudly stated that the whole team is full of confidence in preparing for the new season.
Li Xuan wrote on his personal social platform: Football News learned from Zheng Zhi and Guangzhou team insiders that all the players of the current Guangzhou team are very united, will continue the wolf nature and fighting spirit of the eight champions and fight for the honor of the team, and the team has the confidence to play a spiritual qi in the final round of the game (below).
As the head coach of the team, Zheng Zhi also thanked all walks of life for their support on behalf of the team. Finally, looking forward to the last match against Shanghai Harbour, the Guangzhou captain delivered an important speech: "Guangzhou is not only full of fighting spirit for tomorrow's game, but also full of confidence in preparing for the international and domestic competitions in the new season of 2022!" ”
Li Xuan is right, this is indeed exciting news for the majority of Evergrande fans. Judging from Zheng Zhi's statement, it is already a high probability that the Guangzhou team will not be disbanded, and fans no longer need to worry about it.
As the hegemon of the Chinese Super League, which has won eight league championships in ten years, if the Guangzhou team is disbanded, it will definitely have a greater impact than the dissolution of the Jiangsu team, which is a scene that people from all walks of life who care about Chinese football and the Chinese Super League do not want to see.
Fortunately, the active players of the Guangzhou team are very competitive, not completely lying flat, but actively surviving, letting people see the "wolf and blood" of this Eight Champions League. Especially before the second stage of the game, the Guangzhou team's preparation was too late and very unsystematic, but it was in this difficult situation that the whole team still played well by relying on the all-Chinese class lineup, especially in the situation where the team manager was still a coach rookie.
The current Guangzhou squad is full of local players, and even Jiang Guangtai, the only naturalized player who was originally left, took a holiday in advance, and even so, they still beat Changchun Yatai, who has several foreign aides, 2-0.
In the final round, when the Guangzhou team of the local all-Chinese class met the big-name foreign aid Oscar and the Australian international Moi led by SIPG, not many people dared to think that they would win. But as Zheng Zhi said, the whole team is full of fighting spirit for this game. Playing in Shanghai, this Evergrande team is not for the championship, only to retain the glory of the eight champions, although the paper strength of both sides is a bit one-sided, and the Guangzhou team is at a disadvantage.
Zheng Zhi dared to say that the team is full of confidence in preparing for all competitions in the 2022 season, of course, he saw the possibility of the team's retention, and the sources of confidence he accumulated during the leadership of the team.
In the final round, if Guangzhou does not lose, it will press Shanghai to win the second place in the Chinese Super League this season and directly obtain a place to participate in the AFC Champions League. Zheng Zhi's statement also shows his desire to play in the AFC Champions League with the strongest team at that time.
At present, the prospects of Chinese Super League teams playing in the AFC Champions League are uncertain, and last season's predicament is confusing. Guangzhou will also face two major problems: First, if the full main force plays, in case the same as the guoan players last season can not return to the country for half a year, what to do? Second, if you continue to go off the bench, can you bear the situation of two consecutive seasons of big scores?
In any case, Zheng Zhi's statement shows that the team has a high probability of retention, and Zheng Zhi's position as the coach is unshakable, and the Guangzhou team can be expected to continue to play according to this.
For the majority of Evergrande fans, such news is undoubtedly exciting and inspiring. At the same time, everyone is also full of confidence in the future of Zheng Zhihe and the team.
