Evergrande transfers for two consecutive seasons, but only 2 foreign players, and the stay is undecided_保塔

Original title: Evergrande’s two consecutive seasons of transfers are only out but not in, only 2 pure foreign players and their stay is uncertain

In the last three seasons, Guangzhou Evergrande has only won one Chinese Super League championship in 2019, and both finished second in 2018 and 2020. Its dominance in the domestic arena has fallen far short of before. In fact, since 2018, Evergrande football has shifted its focus, from the first team to youth football, and the first team has greatly reduced its expenditure. This year, the Evergrande team has tightened money even after the limit of investment and salary in the Super League. Under these circumstances, can Evergrande be able to compete for the championship this year?

For two consecutive seasons, the transfer market has only been out of the market

In 2018, Cannavaro returned and entered the Palace Hengda team for the second time. One of his missions is to help complete the team’s transition from new to old. In 2019, a group of young players from the 95th generation, including Wei Shihao and He Chao, joined the Evergrande team and injected fresh blood into the Evergrande team. After two years of competition, Evergrande has indeed become younger in team building. The average age of the team has changed from Over 30 years old in 2017 dropped to 26.5 years old last year.

However, the signing of 2019 is also the most recent signing of Evergrande so far. In 2020, the Evergrande team, which has always been in the transfer market in the past, could only go out and not enter for the first time, and had zero investment in signings. Not only that, the club also sent away many heroes and veterans such as Gao Lin, Zeng Cheng, Feng Xiaoting, Yu Hanchao. This move sent a clear signal that the Evergrande team must lose weight and become younger.

The 2021 Super League Winter Window transfer has been opened for more than a month, and Evergrande still has no action in the transfer market. Even the Asian and foreign players needed in the AFC stadium did not make timely supplements after Park Zhizhu left. This year, they can only get out. The strategy is likely to continue.

The Evergrande team did not sign up for consecutive reasons, both internal and external. The internal reason is that the group of young players introduced in the previous two years are already among the best in the same age group in China. Together with the naturalized players introduced in the past two years, the Evergrande team is still in a leading position in the Chinese Super League in terms of personnel reserves, even if not. There are enough staff for signings. The external reason is that after the limit of investment and salary in the Chinese Super League, clubs must be restricted. Every signing must be calculated carefully and comply with relevant regulations. At the same time, club investment entities are also affected, and it is impossible to invest as much as before.

“Puta” will remain undecided, or bet on naturalized players

Head coach Cannavaro is determined to remain in office. This is part of the team’s stability, but there are still many things left for Cannavaro.

Paulinho and Talisca, the two players that Cannavaro relies on most, have yet to be determined. Both “Baota” have put forward transfer requests, and Evergrande Club also wants to further reduce the expenditure of the first team and is open to their transfer. “Guarda” ultimately leaves or stays. The key is to see if any next family is willing to accept their high annual salary and transfer fees.
