The topic of the Beijing derby has just come to an end, and the rumors of Beijing Guoan changing its name to "Beijing FC" have re-emerged, and the excitement of Beijing football has not been seen for many years. Conversely, for a metropolis with a population of more than 10 million and the size of a small European country, it is no exaggeration to have two top-flight teams.
After all, people who live in Fengtai go to the workers' body to watch a ball, which is quite difficult.
In the 23-year history of the professional league, it's not just people and a team trying to share a piece of Guoan. Too many attempts have ended in failure, such as Beijing Kuanli, which needs to be turned over from the depths of the mind to remember the events of that year.
Many people may have forgotten that beijing celebrities such as Gong Lei, Cao Zhidong and Yang Zhaohui are the terminal station of their sports careers, which is called Kuanli.
Like the Beijingers, the Kuanli team's jersey is orange.
In 1996, Beijing Kuanli Group spent 1 million yuan to buy the Beijing Shougang team in the Chinese Second Division and established Beijing Kuanli Football Club.
The owner of this club, named Jia Lihua, to be precise, called Jia Lihua, was only 36 years old at the time.
It's all about the past, and the photos are coded
In the vast city of Beijing, Kuanli is by no means a big business – it was founded less than a year before the club. It is said that the Tangen Courtyard Restaurant, which has the traditional flavor of Beijing food, is a small part of its industry.
The general manager of the Kuanli Club, you may be more familiar with it. Dong Yugang, a former member of the national youth team, together with Gao Hongbo and Gong Lei, reached the quarterfinals at the 1985 World Youth Championship.
Dong Yugang gave the club Zhang Luo a group of famous players. For example, Cao Zhidong, Yang Zhaohui, Wen Zhijun, Li Haifa. The coach is Hong Yuanshuo, a famous coach of Beijing football.
In 1997, Kuan Li participated in the Second Division league for the first year, but eventually lost to Chengdu Wuniu and fell in front of the goal of A B.
In 1998, it made a comeback, and finally relied on goals in extra time to defeat Hebei Dongzhao and successfully rushed to the first division.
Of course, that goal was controversial, and Hebei fans were quite critical.
In A B, Kuanli got the title of Waveguide mobile phone, and further introduced Famous Players such as Zhang Pengsheng. However, the team only played in the first two years of B, and in the last round of 2000, under the condition that the draw could be relegated, it was killed by the Guangzhou Sun God in the stoppage time and was overdone by the relegation.
In 2001, Kuan Li re-entered the Second Division, but disbanded after losing a penalty to Liaoqing in the final knockout stage – yes, the Liaoning youth team where Zheng Zhi debuted.
In five years, the club went from success to failure.
As an investor in the club, Jia Lihua did not leave much impression on people, especially as guoan's little brother in the same city, he did not receive much attention.
By the way, Jia Lihua appeared in the media that year, called "Jia Lihua", in fact, his real name was Jia Lihua.
It is said that when Kuanli participated in A B, the annual investment reached 20 million yuan. The entire Kuanli Group, registered capital of 60 million yuan, total assets of 100 million yuan, annual profit... It is only 20 million yuan.
In other words, the money Jia Lihua earned in a year was thrown to the club.
In the later stages of the club, there were serious problems with funds, and the lack of wages became an important reason for the collapse of the club.
Kuanli Group plays football and is considered a small horse-drawn cart. Bi Xidong, a well-known sports media personality, once wrote an article when Kuanli was disbanded, saying that "Jia Lihua is righteous, for the sake of football, he can kneel for the team; he can delay his development of projects that could have made a lot of profits because of the investment of 60 million; he can be his own "Mercedes" mount under extremely difficult financial conditions; so that he has to squeeze the bus to pick up children and lovers."
However, Kuan Li was ultimately a tragedy.
Since then, Mr. Jalwa has rarely appeared in the media in public. Business continued to do, football, probably just his hobby anymore.
Sadly, Jia Lihua's business may not be doing well. In 2008, the Dongcheng Court in Beijing exposed the reward for 5 lao Lai, and Jia Lihua was impressively listed.
