The entry process is nearing completion, and finally good news has arrived: Guangzhou Team has been saved. The team has reached a settlement with the players who were owed wages, and it now appears that Guangzhou Team will not be disbanded for the time being, having narrowly escaped another crisis. This time, Guangzhou Team must thank players like Wei Shihao and Yang Liyu, who did not want to destroy the team and were willing to negotiate.
Previously, after the Football Association announced the second batch of debt repayment list, former Guangzhou Team players such as Wei Shihao voiced their opinions on social media platforms. At that time, they were not as aggressive as other teams' wage-seeking players; instead, they targeted the Football Association, hoping that it could play a mediating role. It now seems that they still have feelings for the team and are willing to give Guangzhou Team a way out.
Moreover, Guangzhou Team has indeed done a lot of work in the past, holding offline special sales events and negotiating with Cannavaro. At that time, Cannavaro withdrew his appeal to FIFA, and now, the players he valued most at Guangzhou Team—Wei Shihao, Yang Liyu, and Yan Dinghao—would obviously not make things too difficult for Guangzhou Team. It is most likely that Guangzhou Team was previously too busy to communicate with its meritorious players in time, leading to subsequent misunderstandings.
Additionally, there have recently been rumors that Guangzhou Team is selling its main goalkeeper, Huo Shenping, with Zhejiang Team possibly becoming his new home, which would require a transfer fee. This is also a manifestation of Guangzhou Team's proactive self-help efforts. Therefore, if Guangzhou Team can survive this time, it must also thank Zhejiang Team for coming to its aid; otherwise, it could have waited for Guangzhou Team to fail the entry requirements and signed them for free.
In summary, it is a good thing that Guangzhou Team can survive, although it still faces significant financial problems, and there will be considerable losses of coaches and players next season. However, fortunately, the team's young talent from the youth training system continues to emerge. The next step is to live well in the China League One, communicate more with coaches and players who are owed wages, actively save money to repay debts, and remember that as long as the green hills are there, there is no fear of running out of firewood.
