Fans familiar with Dutch football must know that Ajax can be called the training base of Dutch and even world football talents, known as the "world's first star processing factory", which has trained Sneijder, Borgkamp, Cruyff and other well-known stars. Unlike many European giants, Ajax has always focused on developing young players without interruption. It is precisely because of this that it has become the cradle of famous stars in world football. Today, the Guangzhou team is also embarking on a strategic transformation, with the goal of building the Guangzhou team into China's Ajax.
According to informed sources, Guangzhou Football Club recently issued a notice of "Football Club Player Fixing and Salary Standards". The "Notice" stipulates that the annual salary of Guangzhou first-team players is only 600,000 yuan (before tax) and the minimum is 60,000 yuan (before tax). Moreover, the maximum number of players who can get a maximum salary of 600,000 is no more than 10% of the number of first-team applicants. Most of the main players can get 420,000 yuan, and the substitute players can only get 144,000 yuan.
It can be seen that this is a special plan made by the Guangzhou team under the current financial difficulties encountered by Evergrande Group, and the main purpose is naturally to reduce the operating costs of the team and let the team move forward in the direction of healthy and sustainable development.
Since the latest notice has a large reduction in the annual salary compared with the previously stipulated annual salary, it is not difficult to imagine that some of the main players in the Guangzhou team will leave in the new season. But this is a good thing for both the players and the club, and instead of defaulting on the salary at that time, it is better to find another high now, which is also responsible for the players themselves. In the current situation of salary arrears in Chinese football, Guangzhou's ability to make his position clear to the outside world in a public manner is enough to see his attitude of responsibility for the future of players.
In addition, the departure of the main players is a perfect opportunity for the young people in the Guangzhou team who need to play. It is understood that the focus of Guangzhou's next operation will shift to cultivating outstanding young players of Evergrande Football School.
In the past two seasons, there have been many outstanding young players in the Guangzhou team, among them, Tan Kaiyuan, Ling Jie, Perman Jiang have scored goals in the Chinese Super League and proved themselves, and the main players of the national youth such as Wang Shilong and Hou Yu are not lacking in strength, what they need is more opportunities to play, and they need a bigger stage to show their talents.
Therefore, the next Chinese Super League will become a stage for the performance of outstanding young players of Evergrande Football School. This is also a good thing for Chinese football, after all, the current national football team is seriously aging and in urgent need of fresh blood. Clubs like Guangzhou, which focus on nurturing young people, may be the most lacking in Chinese football at present. Therefore, the main strategy of the Guangzhou team in the future is to build China's Ajax and make Evergrande Football School the cradle of Chinese football stars!
