With the overall "explosion" of the financial system of the Chinese Super League, many clubs have inevitably collapsed. According to Shenzhen football reporter Cheng Wenli, Kaisa, the parent company of Shenzhen FC Club, has decided not to inject capital into the team. This means that the local tycoon team that has burned the most money in the Chinese Super League in recent years will face a serious existential crisis.
Cheng Wenli said: "Even if Kaisa Group survives the crisis, it has nothing to do with the Deep Foot Club, because Kaisa does not intend to continue to invest money for the club, and the Shenzhen team is currently waiting for a sponsorship to maintain the operation of this season." ”
This statement actually confirms the recent rumors that Kaisa will abandon the Shenzhen club. As we all know, Kaisa has invested heavily in football in recent years, and in 2020 and 2021, Shenzhen has been the largest and most expensive buyer in the Chinese Super League transfer market, so the team has integrated an "all-star" team. It is conceivable that once Kaisa stops injecting capital into the team, it will have a devastating blow to the club's financial system. Counting on official sponsorship is actually the team's preparation to start living a "poor life".
It is understood that since last summer, shenzhen clubs have suddenly defaulted on the salaries of players and coaches on a large scale, which eventually led to the departure of Colombian star Quintero. Now, this is obviously also related to the parent company's adjustment of investment strategy. Ironically, Shenzhen was once considered one of the few clubs in the Chinese Super League that did not owe wages, but it turned out that the outside world was obviously too optimistic about the situation of the team.
As the only team in the Chinese Super League that has burned money on a large scale in the past two years, Shenzhen has won the title of "New Evergrande" for once because it has included a number of star-level players and a high salary level, and is also considered to be the only remaining local tycoon after the Golden Dollar Era of the Chinese Super League. However, the "New Evergrande" is obviously not good enough, three consecutive years of poor results, last season in the case of widely optimistic finally missed the top four, disappointing. With the withdrawal of Kaisa, the dream of Shenzhen football's "local tycoons" is probably over.
