May 2, China Super League Eight champion Guangzhou Team In the 2022 season, the first team list was released, and all the old ministers who once "rose to the top" with Evergrande said goodbye.
Of the 35 people on the list, 29 are from Evergrande Football School. Other familiar faces include Jiang Guangtai, Wei Shihao, Yang Liyu, Yan Dinghao and Wu Shaocong.
The average age of the first team is 21.12 years old. The youngest Guangzhou team in history is also the youngest Chinese Super League team in history. It is also the "All China Class" that Lao Xu said many times before, and finally realized, that is, two years later than he imagined.
Pockmarked Zhang said, "Nothing can be done without speaking out."
Ten years ago, Lao Xu said: Evergrande should be the most powerful, enviable and respected "Three Most Club".
Evergrande has worked hard and ran wildly for it.
In February, everyone thought that Lao Xu, who was in great trouble, had organized a Evergrande football management meeting, at which he said: Evergrande should continue to do a good job in football unswervingly and do a solid job Chinese Football Development and rise make every effort to contribute.
He also said that he would follow the group's requirements of "building Evergrande Football School into the cradle of Chinese football stars, and Guangzhou Football Team should do a good job in the cradle platform", open up the way of talent training from football school to club, practically achieve "football starts from children", send excellent young talents batch by batch, and create a new way of self hemopoiesis and virtuous circle for clubs and football schools, Contribute to the revitalization of Chinese football.
Three days before the meeting, the Guangzhou Club issued a notice on the Staffing and Salary Standards of Football Club Players, specifying that the maximum annual salary of first-team players before tax is 600000, and there are only three players at most, while the starting salary of first-team players is 60000/year before tax.
Someone said: "Zheng Juan in" On Earth "can spend 200 yuan for half a year, which is not less than 60000 yuan."
Others said: "I didn't expect Evergrande would continue to engage in football".
On March 1, 2012, Guangzhou Evergrande held a plenary meeting for the new season.
Evergrande won the championship of China National Football League in the two years after becoming the champion of China National Football League AFC Champions League 。
At that time, Xu Jiayin was very spirited and always talked about "three points" at meetings.
He said: The treatment level of Chinese athletes should be improved. When the annual salary of Chinese athletes is increased to 1 billion yuan, Chinese football will reach the level of Europe, which must be the case.
The annual salary of Chinese players was 1 billion yuan, which Lao Xu never got, so Chinese football could not reach the European level later.
Lao Xu asked himself: What is the biggest gap between Chinese athletes and European athletes?
First, running is not active enough; Second, it's fatal if you don't fight hard enough.
On the same day, Evergrande unveiled the "Bonus Distribution Method". As a doctoral supervisor in management, Lao Xu took the lead and made a formula.
Old Xu said that it took seven hours from 9 p.m. to 4 a.m. with the club leaders, the coaching team and some group leaders to introduce the "Bonus Distribution Method", and then revised it four or five times in succession before it was finally finalized.
The formula is very complicated. Lao Xu specially gave an example.
"Murich, sometimes he has strong breakthrough ability and fast speed, but he is lazy in many cases. I took this system to cure him."
Old Xu was very proud: "A team depends on management."
After the meeting that day, Evergrande went on an expedition to South Korea to prepare for the first championship match in the history of the Korean team, to visit Quanbei Hyundai, an old and powerful team in South Korea.
Old Xu said: In the Asian Championship, we must work hard to win glory not only for Evergrande Football Club, but also for the Chinese people. We must show our spirit, even if we lose, we must lose glory. As long as our spirit of "being full of wolves and competing with rivals" is reflected, we are winners and will be praised by fans.
With this spirit, I believe that we will not necessarily lose the game. We should run and steal with confidence to win. Especially in the game against Quanbei on March 7, we should reflect the spirit of "wolf like and competitive".
This game is very important for us, and it is also our first game in the beginning of the Asian Championship. We should have this spirit, not pressure, and we will win according to the tactics arranged by the coaching team. Everyone should have confidence, not to be scared by them!
At the end of the meeting, Evergrande's coaching team and all athletes pledged their loyalty, Li Zhangzhu Take the lead to swear with the captain Zheng Zhi:
Carry forward Evergrande spirit, carry forward Evergrande culture, be full of wolves, fight hard against opponents, firm tactics, fight hard, fulfill the mission, win honor for the country, and strive for the rise of Chinese football!
In that game, Evergrande shone brilliantly and destroyed everything. Konka and Cleo scored twice each. Murich added the icing on the cake and Evergrande beat Quanbei 5-1.
Lao Xu, who was attending the NPC and CPPCC in Beijing at that time, specially called the team before the game to ask for "glory for the country", and made a heavy award for this, with an additional bonus of 2 million yuan for each net goal.
In addition, the winning prize of the Asian Championships was 6 million yuan. In that game, the team won 14 million yuan in a single game, creating the record of winning a single game in Chinese football at that time.
After the game, Li Zhangzhu sighed: "The boss's concern is our greatest encouragement. Before the game, he called in person to tell us that he represents not only Guangzhou, but also China. I thank him very much."
According to the "Bonus Distribution Method" decided by Lao Xu, Li Zhangzhu received more than 1.1 million bonus in that game, and the bonus of each of the first 11 players was close to 1 million.
Someone calculated the account for Evergrande that year. If all the competitions in that year were won, the bonus alone would be 200 million yuan.
At that meeting, Lao Xu became a "star". He called Liu Jianhong of Football Night and said:
"Many representatives followed me to discuss the game and asked where I could watch the game video. ”
On April 30, 2022, in the final round of the Asian Championships group game, Guangzhou team lost 1-0 to Kawasaki. The group game lost 6 consecutive games, scored 0 goals, lost 24 goals, and lost 12 consecutive games, creating a new record of consecutive defeats in the Asian Championships, including a 0-8 defeat.
Ten years ago, when answering questions from Xinhua News Agency reporters about how to view the separation of management and management promoted by the Chinese Football Association, Lao Xu replied:
I believe that the speed of football system reform and promotion is not very satisfactory. Of course, it is progress and implementation.
Every thing we do is to stand at a certain height, not to shout casually.
Some system problems should not be discussed by us. China's football must develop in the future, which is a major trend. The wheel of history must roll forward. I have confidence in Chinese football.
Also in April, "Hengchi 5" was unveiled, and Lao Xu appeared at the scene. An employee at the scene asked the boss to say something, and Lao Xu really only said two words:
Beautiful, really beautiful!
