A few days ago, among the three-tier professional league teams announced by the Chinese Football Association, the Shanxi Dragon Jin of the Chinese Second Division team was not named on the list, and two days later, the club issued a long announcement on the official micro to officially confirm its withdrawal from Chinese football. The club mentioned a few points in the statement, first of all, the team, like other clubs, has been affected by the epidemic and the tournament system and many other reasons, facing huge financial pressure, as the sixth place team in the Chinese Second League last season, they originally hoped to qualify for the Chinese First Division.
Unfortunately, people are not as good as the sky, although the team has obtained the qualifications, but in the final confirmation of participation, there was a problem of capital turnover, temporarily unable to pay the 600,000 participation deposit, although they reported the matter to the Shanxi Football Association, the relevant parties have also been coordinating, but unfortunately in the end it failed to achieve its wishes, and was blocked on the final threshold.
In the statement, the Shanxi team mentioned a very key point, last season, the club in the case of operational difficulties, or only more than 3 million in the account, are used to pay players and staff, so as not to owe anyone a penny. In the current environment, there should be very few clubs that can stand up and say such things. As a small-scale team, the results of Shanxi team in the past two seasons have also had great ups and downs, of which the 2020 season has created a total league defeat, if it were not for the final withdrawal of a team, they may not have been able to participate in the Middle B last year.
And in the first stage of last season, they got another 14 unbeaten records, becoming the first team in the Chinese Second Division to enter the Chong A group, but unfortunately, by the end of the season, they only got the sixth place in the league and failed to upgrade, perhaps this is the last fuse that overwhelmed the team, the situation of Shanxi team, in today's Chinese football world abounds, and even there are teams, even official statements have not been issued, without greeting and quietly leaving.
