A few days ago, Shandong Taishan team 22-year-old young player Guo Tianyu stayed in the Portuguese Super Portuguese Super Portuguese Super League promotion polo team Wizzella team, is one of the few good news brought by Chinese football to fans, and unlike in the past, Guo Tianyu's stay in the Ocean not only won the official announcement of Shandong Taishan Club, the Chinese football team also issued an official announcement through the official account, in the announcement, the Chinese football team also expressed its heartfelt thanks to Shandong Taishan Club for "taking it as its responsibility to contribute to the development of China's football cause". It makes people clearly feel the intimate relationship between Taishan Club and the Chinese Football Association, regardless of each other, helping each other and moving forward.
But exactly 13 years ago, things were a different story entirely. Time pulled back to February 2009, Zhou Haibin tore his face for the stay of the foreign Eindhoven and Shandong Luneng Club (renamed Shandong Taishan Club), when the Luneng executives had approached the Chinese Football Association and hoped that they would not give the green light for Zhou Haibin's free transfer abroad who privately contacted third-party clubs, nan Yong, the president of the Football Association at the time, gave the Luneng Club an ultimatum of "must be allowed". At that time, this caused quite a stir, and the outside world generally believed that the honeymoon period between the Chinese Football Association and Luneng Club had ended.
Speaking of the relationship between Shandong Luneng and the Chinese Football Association, it is really unclear and unclear, the league has been professional for nearly 30 years, the two sides always seem to be in love and killing each other, in a short period of time to maintain a "blood kinship" that is almost thicker than water, in a certain short period of time, the two sides seem to be tense and have a great posture of incompatibility, but they are helplessly involved. And the story of their jianghu, everything has to start from the "G7 Revolution" in the first year of the Chinese Super League in 2004.
In 2004, when the Chinese Football Association hoped that the newly launched Chinese Super League would sweep away the previous haze, it found that the Chinese professional football league had rotted to the root, and the national security strike caused by the unfair penalty of the black whistle Zhou Weixin triggered the "G7 Revolution" of the seven clubs in the Chinese Super League to achieve the separation of government and enterprises and the separation of management and office. But in the end, the "G7 revolution" ended in failure, mainly because the state-owned enterprise background clubs represented by Luneng chose to support the Football Association. It is worth mentioning that although the "G7 revolution" was not successful, Yan Shiduo, the president of the Football Association at the time, was still out of class, Xie Yalong and Nan Yong teamed up to manage the Chinese Football Association, and after Xie Yalong left office in 2009, Nan Yong took over his class.
However, after Nan Yong took office, he made a decision that was unfavorable to Luneng at the transfer of Zhou Haibin, which inevitably made Luneng Club and Shandong fans angry. What is even more embarrassing for Luneng Club is that in December 2011, CCTV's "Rule of Law Online" program disclosed for the first time the case of Xie Yalong, who was already in prison, and in the interview Xie Yalong admitted to accepting 200,000 yuan from Shandong Luneng to help Luneng win the 2006 Chinese Super League championship. Although Chinese football was an era of unspoken rules and chaotic values at that time, Xie Yalong's confession still made shandong Luneng, a state-owned enterprise club, face it.
As if since then, the relationship between Shandong Luneng and the Chinese Football Association has begun to go cold, and there is a tendency to deteriorate: in the 2012 season, Luneng refused to release the international football team due to poor league results, thus having a fierce conflict with the Football Association, although in the end Luneng considered the overall situation to release his own team international and national Olympic players, but the contradictions between the two sides have become public; in the 2014 season, the two sides have a serious confrontation over the recall of the international football team; in the 2015 season, the then Luneng coach Kuka clashed with the referee, and even the police intervened in this matter. Afterwards, the Football Association suspended Kuka for 7 months, fortunately Luneng barely qualified for the AFC Champions League that season, but Kuka finally could not escape the fate of class.
I don't know if it is a coincidence, in the following many years, Luneng and the Chinese Super League referees played out in turn: at the end of the 2017 season, Luneng competed for the AFC Champions League seat at a critical moment, Shen Yinhao blew off Luneng's goal and caused a huge controversy, and afterwards Shandong fans raised a banner to denounce Shen Yinhao. In the 2019 season of the Battle of Luyu, after the game, Luneng Club and Shandong Football Association appealed to the referee Fu Ming for the first time, and outside the field, Shandong fans exposed Fu Ming's thesis suspected of plagiarism, but also let the impact of this matter "break the circle", this matter brought a great impact to Fu Ming, and he was also suspected of being banned for a period of time in the later stage. Time to come to the 2020 season, the Jinglu war referee Shen Yinhao's controversial penalty once again made him the target of Shandong fans, "thesis check heavy door" repeated again, but from the list of international referees in 2021 and 2022, Shen Yinhao was not affected too much by the controversy.
The relationship between Luneng and the Football Association has been frozen for so many years, but now on the issue of Guo Tianyu liuyang, the cooperation between the two sides is so smooth and pleasant, which is indeed a bit surprising. However, if you pay close attention, you will find that the easing of the relationship between the two sides has been reflected in many aspects: for example, last season, Taishan Club almost did not appeal to the referee's decision, although there were occasional disputes over the penalty during the season, but the club no longer adopted a tough posture with the Football Association; and the "Sun Xiang Poaching Xu Xin Incident" that was boiling up before, as a party of reasoning, Taishan Club did not hold on to this matter, and even the local media in Shandong reported on this matter, put it in the past, These are hard to imagine.
Of course, there must be an inevitability in everything by chance. Before Luneng dared to confront the Football Association, mainly because the largest shareholder of Luneng Club is Shandong Electric Power, and Shandong Electric Power is a world-renowned large enterprise, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the State Grid that ranks in the forefront of the world's top 500 for many years, and the State Grid is a wholly state-owned enterprise directly managed by the central government, plus in the 8 years from 2003 to 2010, Luneng Football has always been the mainstay of Chinese football, its stable investment, and efforts in youth training. They have made great contributions to the construction of the national brand, and perhaps their and the FA's hard-working confidence also comes from this.
However, in the summer of 2020, Luneng became the first Chinese Super League club to complete the share reform in accordance with the "Overall Plan for the Reform and Development of Chinese Football", and as the Jinan Cultural Tourism Group, which has a controlling stake, became the majority shareholder of the club, the club's style and method of doing things also quietly changed. As a municipal first-class enterprise directly controlled by the local SASAC, Jinan Cultural Tourism Group has obvious differences in its style of doing things from before, and has gradually formed a unique model of central, provincial and local co-construction in terms of club equity structure, management and operation mode, and fund raising. The first person in charge of Shandong football entering the era of Jinan Cultural Tourism is the member of the party group and deputy director of the Jinan Municipal Sports Bureau, the secretary of the Jinan Olympic Sports Center, and the deputy general manager of Jinan Cultural Tourism Jinan Wu Zhidong.
Although as a municipal state-owned enterprise, Jinan Cultural Tourism may have less capital that can be regulated than before, but the club has taken a series of effective measures, which has laid a solid foundation for the benign operation of the Taishan Club. Last season, Shandong Taishan was crowned the "double champion" of the league and cup, becoming a new benchmark for China's professional football in the "post-Golden Age", which just proves the effectiveness of Jinan's cultural tourism work.
Obviously, whether it is for the Chinese Football Association or Shandong Taishan Club, now and each other to make a good relationship, avoid touching each other's sensitive nerves, help each other, each other's achievements, will make them in their respective work a lot more convenient, less unnecessary trouble. In the long run, the cooperation between the two sides can also benefit the whole Chinese football, and Guo Tianyu's stay in Yang should be just the beginning.
