In the 21st round of the Chinese Super League (CSL) on January 2, Guangzhou managed to beat Changchun Yatai with a score of 2-0 thanks to the goals scored by two young players. If they don't lose to Harbor in the final round, Guangzhou is expected to win the second place in the Chinese Super League.
Guangzhou suffered a tough economic challenge this year, but remained resilient for the second phase of the Chinese Super League. After the release of many naturalized internationals from their contracts, the team quickly assembled a youthful storm with a bunch of young players. Youngsters Ling Jie and Tan Kaiyuan broke through in two consecutive games, and they are expected to be a key force in Guangzhou's future rebuilding.
With the win, Guangzhou moved up to 44 points, two points ahead of third-place Seaport. As long as they remain undefeated in the final round of matches, Guangzhou will lock up the runner-up spot in the league.
The battle for the relegation places in this year's Chinese Super League is largely clear, and fans are curious about the future of Guangzhou's team next season. After all, the team's parent company is in financial trouble, and whether it can continue to support the team next season has become a hot topic.
Guangzhou Daily revealed that the team has strong internal cohesion and the parent company has stated that it will not give up on the team easily. Players who have a contract with the team can prepare for the game with peace of mind. In addition, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group, which intends to intervene in the share reform of Guangzhou Football Club, is also actively studying the program. All signs indicate that Guangzhou team will still be active in the Chinese Super League next season and usher in an unprecedented innovation. (DD)
