China News Service Client Beijing, May 10 (Zhang Yifan) Due to the delay in submitting supplementary materials for admission, the fate of Tianjin Tianhai and the Super League seems to have come to an end. After many times of desperate "self-rescue", this powerful team that once galloped in the AFC Champions League has gradually drifted away from its game with fate.
2020 is the 27th year of the professionalization of Chinese football. Although the history is not long, there are still a lot of glorious moments, but they are finally attributed to the name of annihilation. They seemed to be the pearls left behind in the sea. As the sun went down, they eventually disappeared into the vast night, and became the youth sigh of some fans.
In the memory of yellowing, these teams that have made countless fans swell for a long time. But those fans who are no longer young still vaguely remember the laughter and tears.
Tianhai was hit by this disaster, and the club was fighting for the last hope. Li Weifeng, who brought the players to "petition", is a tough guy in Chinese football. However, in the face of cruel professional football, this tough guy may have to leave a sigh. in fact. Twelve years ago, he also experienced despair like today.

Under the leadership of Zheng Bin in the 2005 season, Wuhan Optics Valley won a seven-game winning streak and finally ranked fifth in the league. In addition, it defeated Shenzhen Jianlibao in the FA Cup and won the championship. This is the first championship won by the Wuhan team since its professionalization, and it is also the first national championship of Hubei Football in 33 years.
But only three years later, this former South China powerhouse had to end miserably. On October 2, 2008, Wuhan Optics Valley announced its withdrawal from Chinese football, becoming the first club to withdraw from the top league midway through the professionalization of Chinese football.
The Argentine poet Anthony Bochia once said: "Today is coming to an end and tomorrow is coming to an end, but it is difficult to end it was yesterday."
In the history of China's top professional football league, the name Shaanxi Guoli may no longer be remembered by many people. The title of "Northwest Wolf" seems to have become the only mark they have left in the long history of Chinese football.

In the 2001 season A League, under the leadership of the magic coach Carlos, the national strength shocked the Chinese football, the popularity of Xi'an ball city also made other provinces and cities envious. At home throughout the season, the national power only lost to the champion, runner-up Shide and Shenhua. Especially the 3: 4 loss to the Dalian Shide team's game was full of grief. It was a classic battle of that season and a classic battle in the history of national strength. The reputation of the "Northwest Wolf" followed.
However, in the first year of the Chinese Super League in 2004, Shaanxi's national power was reduced to the ranks of the Chinese Premier League. After that, they had fought in Ningbo and Harbin successively, and were eventually disqualified by the Football Association for lack of salary. Perhaps it was a joke with them in the midst of heaven. The last day of the team's existence was April Fool's Day in 2005.
The name Sichuan Quanxing seems to be getting farther and farther away from the fans, but it never seems to have disappeared. Although it was dissolved as early as 2006, "Sichuan Quanxing" is still repeatedly mentioned by fans today. Speaking of Sichuan football, in the Chinese professional league for nearly 30 years, it is not too much to call it "the most dramatic and ups and downs".

"Wei Qun, Ma Mingyu, Yao Xia, Yu Dongfeng, Ma Meiluo ..." Speaking of the names familiar to fans of those years, it seems that we can see the passionate years of those years ago.
It was the gold medal market for Chinese football, with a top 40,000 home attendance and a top A. The night when the fans sang together, all disappeared in early 2002 as Quanxing withdrew. Because of this, when Sichuan Annapurna “struggled” for fate last season, Sichuan fans would be so heartbroken. Only after experiencing it will you understand.
Relocation, dissolution, these are the most painful words in the hearts of fans. No longer can I support the team I love, this sense of perplexity is difficult for others to empathize with. It is undoubtedly more mixed when you think of those years of infinite beauty.
8 top league championships, 2 Chinese Football Association Cup champions, 3 Chinese Super League Cup champions, and 1 Chinese National Games champion, creating the myth of 55 undefeated home and away games in the top league, which is the first in China A team that has won 200 victories in the professional league ... As a fan of such a team, it must be a proud thing.

Its name is Dalian Wanda, and it was renamed Dalian Shide.
At the end of the 2012 Super League season, Dalian Shide announced that he would no longer play in the Chinese Super League, and the team was dissolved. The story of "Dalian Shide" came to an abrupt end.
I do n’t know how many tears flowed that night, and many people ’s youth ended.
With the annihilation of time, there are many more. From Hongyuan in Guangdong and Aodong in Yanbian to the avant-garde Huandao and Hongta in Yunnan ... Each team has its own legendary story, but in the ebb and flow of the Chinese football capital market, how many famous passengers, Eventually, the fate of a youthful sigh was unavoidable.
Where is the fate of Tianhai going? Maybe they will eventually disappear in this early summer, just like the names above. For some fans, this Jinmen team that once owned Cannavaro and Pato and shouted "Dare to win the world for Tianjin" may also be just a haste of Chinese football, a dust that is about to be wiped out.
