As the 2022 Chinese Super League draws closer, the main players of the eight champions are ready to be divided. After a "salary cut announcement" from Guangzhou, many international-level players were rumored to leave the team. According to the news of Shanghai media "East Body", the players who previously expired their contracts with Guangzhou have found their next home, and players who still have contracts will not be hindered from leaving the team. On the other hand, after it was previously revealed that SIPG was interested in Axon, the "Football Newspaper" also believed that SIPG would also introduce a naturalized player. The plot flipped in this way makes people see that Chinese football is "changing styles".
Give the green light! Shanghai media exposed that guangzhou team will not hinder players from leaving the team
Guangzhou announced the annual salary standard for first-team players in the 2022 season, ranging from 60,000 to 600,000. There are two aspects involved here, on the one hand, to let the high-paid players take a pay cut, or choose to leave the team. On the other hand, it gives young players more opportunities, and even football school graduates to join the professional league. And this time, it will inevitably make the original first team have their own ideas. According to the news of "Shanghai media", the Guangzhou team is not defensive about the departure of the main players.
It is reported that the Guangzhou team has peacefully broken up with the players whose contracts have expired, and some have already followed the new owners for winter training. And for those players whose contracts expire, it won't stop them from leaving. Of course, this may involve the question of whether the player can leave and not pay the salary arrears.
Change the style? The media broke the news that SIPG intended to naturalize the two
The Guangzhou team underwent changes, and the naturalized players became free bodies. Given that there are "naturalized places" in the Chinese Super League, there are some players who hope to complete their breakthrough through such an opportunity. According to the "Football Newspaper", SIPG is not only interested in Axon but also interested in another naturalized player.
As we all know, after SIPG won the Chinese Super League championship in 2018, it has not touched this laurel again. In the AFC Champions League, not only did not break through, but actually went out in the qualifiers of the 2021 AFC Champions League, and such a bizarre operation of SIPG was considered to be the lack of strength of the team. If SIPG gets two naturalized players, it will not only gain a certain advantage in the Chinese Super League, but also have two more "foreign aides" in the AFC Champions League. However, this may be contrary to the style that the team has previously formulated.
As the saying goes: "If the boat does not advance against the current, it will retreat." The Guangzhou team entered the 2022 season and began a new "way of playing", not only engaging in the "all-Chinese class" but also allowing young players and even graduates of football schools to carry the "banner of rejuvenation". In particular, while most of the main players leave the team, the championship opponent also intends to change the strategy to introduce naturalized players. For the Guangzhou team, in order to adhere to the development of football "everything to the extreme", it is also a long way to go.
