Recently, China Evergrande Automobile Group announced on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that Liu Yongzhuo, a member of its executive board, was detained by the public security authorities in accordance with the law for legal crimes. Mr. Liu Yongzhuo is undoubtedly a well-known celebrity for the majority of Chinese football lovers, having served as the chairman of the board of directors of Evergrande Football Club. In the most glorious moment of the Evergrande football team, Mr. Liu Yongzhuo deeply imprinted in the hearts of fans and friends with a sentence of "In terms of the ownership of the domestic championship, if I refuse to give it to you, then you have no right to compete".
Looking back on that period of history, the Evergrande team is in full bloom, and every year it invests a lot of resources to recruit top football players and coaches at home and abroad, and gradually builds a team that is like a bamboo. After countless brave climbs, the Evergrande team has gradually been promoted to one of the football teams representing the strongest combat effectiveness in China. At this time, Mr. Liu Yongzhuo was particularly dazzling as a dream builder, and his self-confidence and strong determination made the world full of endless trust and ardent expectations for the Evergrande football team.
However, with the passage of time, the glory halo of the Evergrande football team has gradually faded, and the resources invested have shrunk accordingly. At the same time, the environment of the entire Chinese football industry is also showing a downward trend, and there are various problems in the management and operation of leagues and clubs. Under such circumstances, Mr. Liu Yongzhuo chose to leave most of his work at Heng and forge ahead in a new career direction. In 2016, when Evergrande won the championship for the first time in the final of the National Football Association Cup, Liu Yongzhuo, an important decision-maker of Evergrande, left the following thought-provoking words: "Our current strategy is to deliberately relax the pursuit of the opponent, and then launch a strong attack, give the opponent a ray of life, and then counterattack to win." To this day, this passage still shows Mr. Liu Yongzhuo's extraordinary courage and self-confidence, and vividly reveals the outstanding achievements of the Evergrande team in the world during that period.
However, as the old proverb goes, the world is unpredictable. At present, the status of Evergrande Football Club in the Chinese football world has become a thing of the past, and the bright light of the past seems to be getting farther and farther away from us. And Mr. Liu Yongzhuo, the former hero and hero, also had a bumpy fate for some unknown reason and became a prisoner behind bars. Those speeches that were full of domineering in the past now seem to be more like babbling full of helplessness and ridicule. But this is life, with its ups and downs, gains and losses. The rise of Evergrande Football Club and Mr. Liu Yongzhuo's bold words have been written into the history of Chinese football. The glory they once forged will be forever recorded in the history of Chinese football, and the difficulties and setbacks they have encountered are bound to become a lesson for the future of the alarm bells of the latecomers.
For Mr. Liu Yongzhuo, no matter what situation he finds himself in at the moment, his position in the history of Evergrande football should not be underestimated. He devoted his heart and soul to this dream, struggled unremittingly, and made great sacrifices to promote the progress of mainland football by creating a dilemma and showing extraordinary wisdom on his own. Although we are now facing adversity, we should still remember his brilliant achievements in the past and his immortal spirit of selfless dedication to the cause of Chinese football.
Mr. Liu Yongzhuo's key role in driving the rise of Evergrande's football empire cannot be overlooked. Since Evergrande emerged in domestic football in 2010, he has been the chairman of Evergrande Football Club for six years. During his tenure at the helm, Evergrande won an unprecedented five consecutive titles in the Chinese Super League, the country's highest professional league, and also won two AFC Champions League competitions, the highest level in Asia. He has greatly improved the strength of the Evergrande team by introducing visiting world-class coach Lippi and signing world-class foreign players such as Conca.
That period of time can be described as the golden age of the development of professional football in mainland China, and the Evergrande football team has also reached unrivaled heights. Liu Yongzhuo's precise vision has recruited many of the industry's top players for Evergrande, such as Muric, Conca, Elkeson and Goulart. The joining of these stars has made the already famous Evergrande football team even more shining, which can be called the leader of professional football in mainland China. However, fate is often unpredictable. The former godfather of Evergrande football is now a prisoner, which is embarrassing. Even in the most glorious years of the Evergrande team, it is hard for fans to imagine that this once powerful team could decline so quickly. This seismic shift is truly shocking and evokes an infinite sense of impermanence.
Looking back at the ups and downs of the Evergrande team, people can't help but wonder: What are the reasons that prompted the Evergrande team to go down the road of decline? Is it the drastic changes in the external environment? Or is it the negligence of internal management? Perhaps both. But in any case, the glory and honor created by the Evergrande team will always be engraved in the historical monument of mainland football. Although Liu Yongzhuo did achieve gratifying results during his tenure as chairman of Evergrande Football Club, leading the Evergrande team to win multiple championships, and an era represented by him was deeply imprinted in the history of mainland football, but now, all this glory has become history.
In the era of well-capitalized football, money is undoubtedly one of the keys to a team's victory, but it is by no means the only decisive factor. As the chairman of the board, Liu Yongzhuo has played an irreplaceable role in the success of the Evergrande team with his extraordinary wisdom and outstanding leadership talent. He had the foresight to form an outstanding Evergrande football team, which injected important vitality into the development of football in mainland China.
However, life is always full of twists and turns. Due to breaking the law, Liu Yongzhuo has been unable to continue his outstanding chapter in the field of Evergrande football. For the fans, this is undoubtedly a big pity. If he can abide by the regulations, then he will still be the respected godfather of Evergrande football. Today, however, he can no longer bear this honor. The once-illustrious Evergrande football team is also like that glorious era, and has faded away. It was once known as a continental football giant, but now it is gradually in decline. However, the glorious years and history left by Evergrande Football Club will still be forever engraved in the memory of mainland football.
Liu Yongzhuo's case marks a wake-up call. As we dedicate ourselves to career success and personal fulfillment, we must always keep a clear head and a firm moral bottom line. The law is the cornerstone of social justice and stability, and no one can go beyond it. Any violation of the criminal law will destroy one's own future prospects, and will bring pain and loss to the family members and society as a whole. We should deeply reflect on the Liu Yongzhuo incident, always inspire ourselves, and strive to be good citizens who abide by laws and disciplines. No matter what field we are in, we should adhere to integrity and conscience, and pursue our ideal goals with integrity and diligence. Only in this way can we establish a good reputation in the society and win the respect and trust of others.
