Nearly 1 billion historical salary arrears are unresolved, and the situation is deeply dangerous, is it more than a downgrade?

Reporter Wang Wei and Cheng Shan reported that the moment Wang Jing blew the final whistle, it was like a relief for the deep football fans who were still insisting. The last time they celebrated the team's point was 94 days ago; The last time the victory was cheered was 148 days ago - there was no suspense about Shenzhen's relegation, the difference, only when the judgment was announced. What really worries deep football fans is not whether the team's number one can continue even after seven seasons of dormancy.

Although there is still a 4-point gap between Shanghai Shenhua, Rongcheng fans are already looking forward to the next round of Mars with Guoan, and the Asian Champions League is still looking forward to them; And what about deep feet? Even before this match, no one had the luxury of a miracle, since the 3-2 home win over Meizhou Hakka on May 28, they have only won 1 draw and 16 defeats in the past 17 rounds.

Scoring less than 2 minutes into the opening game and scoring two goals in the first and second halves, Rongcheng, who are aiming for third, did not give any room for illusions, and the 0-4 result meant that Shenzhen was 7 points behind the relegation zone with two rounds left in the league and relegated two rounds early.

At this point, there are two turning points this season, or a downward trend. One is the resignation of Chen Tao after losing to Manatee on July 12, as the U21 echelon construction coach, Chen Tao once brought hope to the expected downshift this season, but the club's current situation makes him really unwilling to make any unrealistic promises to the players, and chose to leave in a haggard mood; The second is the departure of many core players including Jiang Zhipeng, Zhang Yuan, Yuan Mincheng and Mi Haolun during the second transfer.

Today's Shenzhen team, compared with the two teams at the beginning of the season, in the starting lineup last night, only Zheng Dalun, Xu Yue, Huang Ruifeng and Xu Haofeng appeared in the starting lineup of the first round of the 2-1 home win over Qingdao Manatee. The lineup of the all-Chinese class has insisted on 4 rounds. Achimpeng, the team's top scorer, has not been in the squad since being sent off with a red card in the round of 19 against Henan, and has not been in the squad even after the suspension ended.

And the reason for all this is none other than arrears of wages, and long-term arrears of wages.

"Seeing him rise up Zhu Lou, seeing him banquet guests, seeing his building collapse!" When the Guangzhou City Club was dissolved at the beginning of this year, the head of the club sighed like this, and now Shenzu has come to a similar situation.

The embarrassment of 10 consecutive defeats and 18 rounds without a win, but you can hardly be too harsh on such a team, and a senior executive of the Deep Foot Club commented, "It's already good that these young players can play like this" - not self-comfort, but more helplessness.

After the match, Hu Jiajin, who returned to the first team from the Shenzu U21 team during the second transfer period, also played in the U21 league for Shenzu in Hohhot in May, and he made only one appearance in the Chinese Super League before this season. And Li Wei, Yuan Junjie, Lu Wentao and other substitutes were originally all members of the U21 league. Among the starters, 22-year-old Tian Ziyi and 24-year-old Chen Guoliang did not even have experience in the Chinese Super League in previous seasons. As the executive said, "For this year's league, it is a success to be able to stick to the end. ”

The Guangzhou team, which was also relegated last year in the all-Chinese class and successfully relegated in the "all-school class" team this season, has become a target that Shen Feng wants to learn. Relevant people from Shenzu Club said that if the team can still survive, then in 2024, the China League One can be carried out in the same way that Guangzhou team played in the China League One this year, such as by reducing salaries and playing the whole Chinese class to control operating costs.

In previous seasons, Shenzhen gave up to 60 million yuan to Shenzu clubs in the Chinese Super League. Even if it is reduced to the China League One, the team can also receive 30 or 40 million sports subsidies, which is enough to support, and the 2024 season of playing the China League One may be able to play.

"As long as the team does not disband next year, we are not the first time to drop in more than 20 years, how about playing in the Central League for another 7 years, Rainbow will meet in the end." An old Shenzhen fan lamented after confirming relegation last night - in the 2011 season, Shenzu was relegated from the Chinese Super League to the Chinese League One, and then played seven seasons in the secondary league, and successfully returned to the Chinese Super League in 2018 under the leadership of Spanish coach Carlo.

The ideal of the all-Chinese class playing in the Chinese League One is very beautiful, and the deep affection that deep football fans are willing to adhere to is also worthy of respect, but the reality facing the club is extremely cruel. After the relegation on the evening of October 23, the Shenzu Club seemed helpless, and Kaisa, which had invested for many years, did not have any voice, because as the actual controller of the team, they were unable to return to the sky. So far, the Shenzhen Municipal Government has not said anything about the club's relegation.

Because of the long-term arrears of wages, the Deep Foot Club has also completely lost the trust of foreign aides. Although Achimpeng, Wakasso and Alessandrini are all in the team, they all refuse to play on the grounds of injury, and the entire team is also very pessimistic about the future prospects of the club.

For Shenzu, the most difficult thing now is the problem of historical debt. Previously, it was reported that the total debt of Shenzu exceeded 800 million yuan, but according to a player who has left Shenzu, the current historical salary arrears of Shenzu are close to a staggering 100 million yuan before tax - if you want to continue the title of the first year champion of the Chinese Super League, how to solve this huge debt is the number one problem. This year, because of historical salary arrears, FIFA has suspended Shenzu's recruitment, and if the historical arrears still exist next season, Shenzu will not even be able to pass the entry barrier, let alone what kind of lineup to use to play in the first division.

"There are no myths, no miracles, so let's say goodbye." Because no one knows whether this Chinese Super League champion will appear in the China League One next year! "The emotion of a diehard Shenzhen loyalist is the most real situation of the Shenzhen team today.
