"At the moment when I have to say goodbye, I have regrets and owes in my heart. It is regrettable that the hopes of the past are shattered, and owes are to the players ..."

　　Li Weifeng's long and affectionate paper said that he said goodbye to Tianhai, but actually announced the "death news" of this team. When a person who still persisted in the team's dying struggle said these words, the nearly three months of admission to the "soap opera" did indeed come to the curtain call.

　　Although the death was only a moment, but the sigh is that from the time of Hohhot to Tianjin Songjiang, then to Tianjin Quanjian and now Tianjin Tianhai, the "century club" that the former boss wanted to build was so fragile. It is ironic that the final "cause of death", and the motives of Quan Jian's entry into the Lord, are like a cycle of fate.

Li Weifeng sent a long article of affectionate farewell

"Heaven to hell" is a true portrayal of Tianjin Tianhai in recent years.

　　Four years ago, Tianjin Tianhai set sail from the First League under the heavy investment of the former investor Quanjian Group. Before being acquired by Quan Jian, the team was named Tianjin Songjiang, which was regarded as a civilian team in the First Division. Hao Haidong, a famous Chinese football player who has been active on Weibo recently, has served as the general manager of the team. He also proposed the idea of ​​building a 100-year club in an interview.

　　Later, Quan Jian took over, and the group chairman Shu Yuhui had a similar statement. Judging from the performance of spending a lot of money in the transfer market at the time, this boss who built a "health care empire" did indeed want to "smash" some achievements in Chinese football.

　　Relying on the Brazilian trident composed of Fabiano, Judson, and Geuvagno, as well as the international domestic team composed of international players such as Zhao Xuri, Zhang Lu, Sun Ke, Zhang Xiuwei and Liu Yiming, who returned from overseas, the team is in power Jian completed the rushing task in the first year of intervention, and Cannavaro, who took over the team halfway, also started the battle of returning to China.

　　"In the past, I didn't want to make money because there was no place to spend it. It was football that gave me the motivation to do things."

　　"I'm afraid players don't like money."

　　Shu Yuhui, who first entered the football world, frequently appeared. With his big hand, Belgian star Wittsell joined at a high price of 131 million yuan and enjoyed the top treatment in the world of football.

　　After that, Quan Jian bought Pato again, Wang Yongpo, Yang Shanping, Wang Xiaolong, Mi Haolun and Quan Jingyuan. As a newly promoted team, Tianjin Quanjian won the third Super League qualification to win the AFC Champions League. In the new AFC Champions League, he even rushed to the quarterfinals.

　　Shouting the slogan "Dare to win the world for Tianjin", from the civilian team of the first-class level to the upstart of the Super League to the AFC Champions League to become the representative of the Chinese team, their rising speed under Jin Yuan is amazing. Under the wave of gold and gold at that time, there were a lot of Chinese Super Clubs that were crazy about money, but not as fast as Quan Jian.

　　The rapid upward momentum of this team made the outside world think that they are very likely to copy Evergrande's road to success, and Shu Yuhui can also establish his own "empire" in Chinese football.

　　At the end of the 2018 season, Quan Jian also invested heavily in South Korean coach Cui Kangxi, hoping that the Jeonbuk godfather could lead the team to open a new dynasty in China.

　　But the reality is often not limited to the set blueprint, even if this plan comes from the "legendary" "medical giant" Shu Yuhui.

Under the vigour, everything unexpectedly came to an abrupt halt.

The day before, the Chinese Football Association issued an announcement saying that Tianjin Quanjian Football Club Co., Ltd. was renamed Tianjin Tianhai Football Club Co., Ltd.

　　At the end of 2018, Quan Jian happened and Shu Yuhui collapsed with his "health care empire". Affected by this, the Tianjin Quanjian Club immediately "de-quantified and healthy", which was managed by the Tianjin Sports Bureau and renamed Tianjin Tianhai. Two young internationals, Zhang Xiuwei and Liu Yiming, switched to Guangzhou Evergrande. Zhao Xuri and Yang Shanping joined the Dalian team with the famous coach Cui Kangxi who had not yet shown their fists.

　　Plus Pato, Witsel, Modest who had previously returned to European football ... A set of luxury lineups fell apart instantly. Relying on a large number of players on loan, such as Liao Lisheng and Yao Junsheng, Tianjin Tianhai struggled to survive the 2019 season and pressed the heavily promoted "upgraded horse" Shenzhen Jiazhaoye into a thrilling relegation.

　　It is reported that Tianjin Tianhai was very difficult at the time, but there were funds left by Quanjian Group on the club's books. In the custody state, the club relied on this inertia to continue its life.

　　However, when the inertia is finally exhausted, the surviving Tianjin Tianhai has no investors to transfusion, and the club's own "blood-making" ability is very limited.

　　Under the severe survival crisis, Tianjin Tianhai chose to "broken arm" to survive. In the winter transfer window, Tianjin Tianhai sold Wu Wei, Pei Shuai, Zheng Darun and other powerful players without any signings. There were only 17 players in the first team and only 2 foreign aid.

　　Survival in this extreme way, after all, can solve the thirst, not the long-term worry.

Tianjin Tianhai seeks an announcement of 0 yuan transfer.

　　On March 5, Tianjin Tianhai issued an announcement seeking a zero yuan transfer team. The abnormal state of the team also attracted the attention of the Chinese Football Association, requiring the Tianhai team to submit access materials.

　　In addition, several clubs in China A and China B also received notices for submission of supplementary materials. Once Tianhai cannot submit materials, they will give way to other clubs. It is further reported that Tianhai had encountered a report, which resulted in the delay in passing the admission.

　　At the last node of the material submission on March 12, Tianjin Tianhai miraculously completed the transfer of buzzer sentry, which was a thrilling "continuation of life". However, the subsequent plot still can not go around the twists and turns of "the main story line."

Tianjin Tianhai Equity Transfer Announcement

　　Due to the non-compliance with the regulations for the transfer of professional clubs of the Chinese Football Association, Wantong Group switched to Tianhai as a sponsor. Since then, the news of the so-called Tianjin Sports Bureau and the Municipal Football Association as a guarantee for Tianhai has spread. increase.

　　But after that, the situation facing Tianhai turned again. It was reported that Tianhai Club and sponsor Wantong had huge differences in team management rights, and reached an irreconcilable point.

　　Tianhai players also released an open letter of the 0-wage war in the new season. The 23 attached red fingerprints also record the team's call for help when it was dying. However, under the rules, this feeling will not work after all. The farewell of Li Weifeng's long article marked that Tianhai had reached the end of its destiny.

Tianjin Tianhai players sought self-help and announced a voluntary zero wage for the Chinese Super League in the new season.

　　Ironically, the reason why Quan Jian became the Tianjin Songjiang at the time was because he was dissatisfied with the team's management power when he sponsored Tianjin TEDA. Such alternative relays and reincarnation of destiny gave a big draw to this drama Awkward ending.

　　What's more mixed, is for the Tianhai players who are infinitely confused in the future. Against the backdrop of the withdrawal of the club and the reduction of spending by the teams, most of them will face the dilemma of unemployment, and countless football dreams may stop there.

　　Together, there is the dream of Tianjin Tianhai "Centennial Club". The 14-year-old team, after a vigorous and vigorous, just so helpless and bland, ended in sigh. (Author Bian Liqun)
