On the twenty-seventh day of the new year, just when everyone was busy returning home for reunion, bad news came from Chinese football. According to many media people such as Li Xuan and Du Liyan, a team that has just been relegated from the Chinese Super League in the 2022 season is about to be disbanded.
It is reported that the team recently repaid the arrears of some players, but it did not include the players signed by Li Tie during his tenure. Just last week, one of the team's international players publicly bargained for salary on social platforms, and then the club responded through official micro-channels, saying that the player refused to play in the 2022 season many times, and there were many controversial issues in his contract. However, the player continued to fight back, presenting a diagnosis of his injury, saying that he was out due to injury rather than refusing to play.
In fact, in the past two years, there have been frequent incidents of unpaid wages by the team, including the former national football captain who has also publicly asked the club for wages. In the 2022 season, when the Chinese Football Association was about to crack down on wage arrears, they were also punished one after another, and they were punished twice throughout the season, a total of 9 points, and finally relegated from the bottom of the ranking.
The dissolution is nothing new for Chinese football, but for the city, it is very ironic, because in the 2022 season, another team in the same city has just won the league championship with a promotion attitude, and it is really rare for two teams in one city to go to two poles.
In addition to the unpaid wages, the team and Li Tie have a very close relationship, if it is related to these two major events, any one is fatal, and death is the only end.
But what is more frightening is that this may only be the beginning, according to football reporter Chen Bing, in the next month or two, at least two clubs in the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League One will be dissolved, and most may reach five. The clubs in the Chinese League One are in difficulty replacing the Chinese Super League, and the Chinese Super League may be forced to shrink to 16 clubs.
For the Guangzhou team, the possibility of wanting to make up has indeed increased, but whether the team's own problems can be solved is the key, and as a fan, you can only resign yourself to fate.
