From 65438 to 0999, football in Pudong has developed to a new stage. Before the start of this year's league, Pudong merged with Xing Hang, which was demoted the year before, to form Pudong Whirlpool. After the merger, the strength and popularity of the Pudong team increased rapidly. Moreover, with its outstanding performance in League A and League B, it has attracted the attention of many Shanghai fans. Due to the demotion of Xing Hang team, the team had to face the end of dissolution. Fortunately, however, the core strength of this team has been preserved. Wei Ping, captain of Pudong team, came forward to "take in" the backbone of Xing Hang team. In fact, at that time, many media described the incident as "the merger of Pudong and Xing Hang teams". The aviation stars merged into the Pudong team are: Li Yan, Wu Ming, Lu Wei, Zhou Yi, Qiu, Wang Hui and others. The original members of the Pudong team are:, Wang Zhigang,, Liu,, and others. Although the name of the merged team is still Pudong, and the boss is Wei Ping, the head of Pudong Club, in fact, the main force of the team is Xing Hang. After the merger, the comprehensive strength of the Pudong team has been significantly improved. This year, the head coach of the Pudong team is Yinli Hua, who left school in the middle of last season and led the team to avoid relegation. Under the leadership of Yinli Hua and the improvement of the team's strength, the Pudong team finally got out of the dilemma of relegation in successive years and entered the ranks of rushing A in one fell swoop. This season, Pudong team defeated Bayi team, the strongest team recognized by A and B at that time, 2-0 away, which became the most wonderful performance of Pudong team in that year. This year, the Chinese team Shenhua led by Brazilian lazaroni only achieved the fifth place in the league, and Shenhua fell to the lowest point in history since the professional league. Therefore, the Pudong team, which has performed well in both League A and League B, has gradually begun to attract more attention from Shanghai fans. In 2000, the Pudong team was named Yang Lian 8848, and invited Horton, an Englishman who had just left the Olympic team in China, and spent a lot of money to build the team's foreign aid combination. Unfortunately, after the 1 1 round of league matches, the ranking of the Pudong team is still only ranked fourth, which is a little worse than everyone's expectations. Horton was dismissed halfway, although it was related to his unsatisfactory teaching results, there was another little-known reason: in the last game of Horton's coaching before class, he had an argument with the club owner Wei Ping and even started a fight.
The reason is this. In the home game with Henan Jianye team, Pudong team could not open the situation because of the defensive retreat of the other team. At halftime, Wei Ping suggested to Horton that Shen Han, a "fast horse", should be sent as soon as possible to strengthen the attack. However, Horton did not follow Wei Ping's advice. Before the end of the game 15 minutes, he changed into Shen Han, and the team finally failed to win. After the game, Wei Ping and Horton had an argument in the lounge before most of the players returned to the lounge. Horton said firmly that it is his right to employ people. As a result, the quarrel between the two became louder and louder. Finally, they not only dropped the mineral water bottle, but also pushed it. Later, when all the players came to the lounge, Wei Ping announced in public: Horton is dismissed! The next day, assistant coach Xi Zhikang was corrected. But the team's situation has not been greatly improved. At the end of the league, the team still won the fourth place and passed by A again.
From June 5438 to October 2000 10, Xu Zexian, the ambitious chairman of COSCO Real Estate Group, entered football. COSCO Real Estate assembled five shareholders (COSCO Liangwan Real Estate Co., Ltd., Huili Group, Huili Floor Company, Huili Co., Ltd. and Hainan Boao Holdings Co., Ltd.) to acquire the Pudong team for 30 million yuan. After the acquisition, the Pudong team was officially named "Shanghai COSCO Huili". Since then, the team has entered the "Cosco Era" of Xu Zexian, and thus created its heyday in history. Cosco Land gathered five major shareholders (Cosco Bay City, Huili Group, Huili Floor, Huili Building Materials and Hainan Boao Holdings Co., Ltd.) to acquire Pudong Football Club for 30 million yuan. After the change, Shanghai COSCO Huili Football Club will be managed and led by Shanghai Sports Commission and Shanghai Football Association, while the club will be managed and led by China Football Association and Shanghai Football Association. The club will implement the relevant regulations promulgated by China Football Association, Shanghai Football Association and the business department of Shanghai Sports Commission.
Shanghai COSCO Huili Football Club is a sports industry organization registered in China Football Association and Shanghai Football Association, and it is an economic entity with independent legal personality.
Shanghai COSCO Huili Football Club strives to enrich social and cultural life and give people a positive spiritual encouragement by developing football. By attracting more people to participate in football activities, we can improve the physical and psychological quality of the public, especially teenagers. And constantly cultivate excellent football players. At the same time, through football, we can contact more friends from all walks of life, including friends at home and abroad, and jointly develop the football market in order to obtain greater economic benefits.
After buying the Pudong team, Xu Zexian recruited soldiers. First, Xu Genbao, who is well-known in Shanghai, was invited as the team coach. In terms of domestic aid, veteran Cheng Yaodong and Wu Bing were recruited from Shenhua, and Hu Zhijun, the top scorer in 1994 professional league, was introduced. In introducing foreign aid, COSCO has also begun to show the club's strong strength and hegemonic ambition. This year, COSCO introduced four foreign AIDS in one breath: Mark, Portman, Garcia and andreas. With the support of Shenhua veteran and strong foreign aid, COSCO team swept the army in the 200 1 A-B Stadium and advanced to the Chinese League as the first in the league. After six years of development, Pudong football finally realized its dream of entering the first class.
At the same time, COSCO Group made a drastic transformation after taking over the club. "COSCO Huili Team" has created a great momentum for a series of real estate investments of COSCO Group in Shanghai, and the team uniform has also changed from orange in old Pudong to deep blue representing COSCO enterprises. In order to create a home atmosphere, COSCO not only organized the employees of its subordinate enterprises into cheerleaders, but also paid for some dissidents split from the Blue Devils to be incorporated into COSCO Blue Devils.
Under the leadership of Xu Genbao, Shanghai COSCO Huili finally succeeded in "kicking" A, and Shanghai also has two teams in A for the first time. China's "Derby" war also kicked off.
In the first year of entering A, COSCO's biggest skill was to recruit the "pillars" of its rivals in the same city-Qi Hong and Shen Si from Shenhua. This handwriting caused an uproar in Shanghai football at that time and became the first major event that caused a sensation in football. At the same time, before the start of the league, because Xie Hui returned to Shenhua on loan from Germany, Xu Zexian invited Scottish Fan Zhiyi to COSCO by phone. At the same time that Fan Zhiyi, Qi Hong and Shen Si, the former soul figures of Shenhua, joined in, COSCO hired Hua Le, a Frenchman known as the "white wizard", as the head coach, who led the Cameroonian team 1998 World Cup. Coupled with strong foreign aid from Archino and his mother, COSCO really has the confidence and strength to compete with Shenhua, which also reflects Xu Zexian's determination and courage to dominate Shanghai football and even China football. However, due to the lack of experience and background in the top leagues, COSCO only ranked ninth in the league this year. Of course, with the decline of rival Shenhua in the same city, in the vigorous derby war that was born this season, COSCO won two wars and completely overwhelmed Shenhua. Because of historical reasons, the former Pudong or Yuyuan Garden was actually only the Shenhua Second Team. The old players who are not used by Shenhua are sent here, and the good seeds are sent up. The concept of derby is very weak. After COSCO took over, this relationship gradually changed, especially after the arrival of Shen Si, Qi Hong and others who were in conflict with Shenhua, a fiery derby broke out. Xu Genbao, who returned to coach Shenhua, lamented after losing the derby: Even if Shen Si tackles the ball, can it still be lost? This shows the intensity at that time.
If 2002 was the beginning of COSCO Football's tentative hegemony, then in 2003, Xu Zexian was bold enough and courageous enough. Cosco introduced Wu, Jiangjin, Li Ming and other big-name stars whose prices are at the forefront of the listing list in one breath in the domestic foreign aid market. In terms of foreign aid, while keeping Archino, he also brought Paraguay international cuevas from Argentine River Plate team. The powerful COSCO team finally got out of hand this season. It is worth mentioning that during the suspension of SARS, COSCO decisively changed coaches. In the first stage, Lehua, who led the team with four wins and one loss and ranked first, was dismissed from class, and Cheng Yaodong, a young marshal who was suspended at the end of 2002 and ended his career, took office. After Cheng Yaodong took office, all aspects of the team's work progressed smoothly, approaching the league championship step by step. In the final stage of the league, COSCO and Shenhua competed for the championship. Regrettably, in the second half of the league, COSCO suffered two big defeats. First, the champion lost to Shenhua in Derby 1-4, and second, lost to Tianjin in the final to decide the champion, and finally came second.
In 2003, despite winning the runner-up in the league, after the last game, the news that COSCO was retiring spread like wildfire in the 80,000-seat stadium. It is worth mentioning that in the middle of the 2003 season, COSCO changed its name to "International Team". This seems to be a response to the call of the Football Association, and actually indicates the turbulent future fate of the team. It was September 30, 2003, when COSCO suddenly announced its name change to the international team of Shanghai COSCO Huili Football Club.
COSCO said that from 10 to 1, the names of the teams involved in the club will be "Shanghai COSCO Huili Football Club International Team" or "Shanghai International Team". The English name is "internationalshanghai". Club executives said that in the past, the team was more like an enterprise team under the name of COSCO. With the development of professional football, football teams represent cities and regions, not just enterprises themselves. In the process of renaming, the club once considered such names as "Shanghai United" and finally chose "Shanghai International Team", because the team represents Shanghai and is an international metropolis, and the name of the team should conform to Shanghai's urban identity. At the same time, without referring to the famous team name of Inter Milan, it was renamed "International" team. The emblem of the international team is obviously imitated by Juventus, especially the horse with rhinoceros horn, which is full of European customs for no reason. In fact, at the end of 2002, Shanghai COSCO Real Estate Group, with Xu Zexian as the general manager, established a joint venture with Indonesian wealthy businessman Linsan Group. After optimizing the combination, more than one-third of the company's employees were laid off-many laid-off employees complained everywhere when they saw that the company spent a lot of money on football.
Before the joint venture, COSCO Club had no financial troubles, but after the joint venture, Indonesia sent a financial director to be in charge of the funds, and Xu Zexian needed his approval to mobilize the funds, so the source of funds for the club was far less abundant than before. What is even more disturbing is that the Indonesian joint venture company has no interest in football, and has repeatedly hinted that Xu Zexian cut football projects. Because they know very well that it is impossible for China to make a profit from football at present. Seeing the huge amount of money being swallowed up by football, their attitude gradually hardened and eventually became an important factor for Xu Zexian to give up football. It is said that in response to the call of the Football Association, Xu Zexian suddenly changed the name of Shanghai COSCO to Shanghai International Team, and removed the word "COSCO" from the team name without authorization, which also made the leaders of COSCO Corporation quite dissatisfied.
It is reported that after the joint venture in May 2003, Shanghai COSCO Linsan Real Estate Group Co., Ltd. acquired all the shares of Shanghai Huili Group Co., Ltd., Shanghai Huili Building Materials Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Huili Floor Products Co., Ltd., and the club was renamed as Shanghai COSCO Linsan Football Club Co., Ltd., but judging from the statement that the club was changed to an international team, it seems that the corporate name of the club has not changed, at least when it was changed to an international team.
In 2004, under the double pressure of COSCO Group and SASAAC, Xu Zexian, a soldier, had to divest the club from COSCO Group, a company directly under SAAC, and at the same time divested his personal "personnel relationship" from COSCO Group and evolved into a real private entrepreneur. It is said that in June that year, Xu Ming, Zhang Hai and Xu Zexian had a meeting in Xianghe to discuss a problem seriously. In the current market downturn, it is timely and profitable to acquire clubs and resell them when the market is prosperous in the future. Zhang Hai and Xu Zexian reached an agreement privately, "Under no circumstances can the club slip away". At that time, they ranked third in the first Super League.
In February 2005, Shanghai Yongda Group acquired all the shares of Shanghai COSCO Linsan Real Estate Group Co., Ltd., and the club was renamed Shanghai Yongda Football Club. Shanghai Yongda Football Club strives to participate in social and cultural life through football, bringing people a positive attitude and lifestyle, making more people pay attention to and participate in football, especially providing, exploring and cultivating more outstanding talents for the development of football in China. Meanwhile, Shanghai Yongda Football Club will invite people from all walks of life at home and abroad to jointly cultivate and develop the football market in China.
Xu Zexian and Zhang Hai bought COSCO Linsan Club in the name of Yongda Elevator and took over 95% of the shares including the base for 65.438+0.5 billion yuan. The club was renamed as Shanghai Yongda Football Club, and the name of the international team was reserved. However, without cosco's backing, the international decline is foreseeable. This year, they slipped to eighth place in the Super League.
At the beginning of 2006, the club officially announced that the team had moved to Xi 'an, and the name of the club was changed to "Xi 'an Chanba International Football Club", and all the former club leaders remained. On the same day, club officials comforted the fans who demonstrated in the rain against the team's westward advancement. At the same time, the club also announced that players who don't want to go to Xi 'an with the team can apply for transfer. All this shows the fact that the club has moved to Xi 'an and has no intention of coming back. According to analysis, there are two main reasons for moving westward. First of all, Xu Zexian, the boss behind the scenes, devoted himself to Xi's real estate industry. He needs the team to carry out image advertising and public relations. Second, Yongda Group has secretly divested and transferred its shares. Of course, it was announced at the press conference that Shanghai Yongda Group and Xi 'an Xixia Real Estate Company were jointly funded.
On June 5438+1October 10, 2006, Shanghai International Football Club held a press conference in Anjiajiang Hotel, and officially announced that the Shanghai International Football Team that moved westward was named Anchanba International Football Team, which was jointly funded by Shanghai Yongda Group and Anxixia Real Estate Company.
After moving westward, the team was still called Xi 'an Guoji Team for one year, and ranked ninth in the Super League.
On June 30th, 2007, the former Xi 'an Chanba Football Club International Club was officially changed to Shaanxi Baorong Chanba Club, and the football team was officially renamed as Shaanxi Zhongxin Chanba Football Team. On February 27th, Shaanxi Baorong Chanba Football Club was officially unveiled in xi 'an. Baorong Investment Co., Ltd. acquired the shares of Yongda Company and became the new major shareholder of the club. The Sino-Singapore Group (HK) and E-House (China) Holding Company became the two major sponsors of the team. According to public information, Shaanxi Baorong Chanba Football Club was jointly invested by Beijing Baorong Investment Management Co., Ltd. and Beijing Javey Property Management Co., Ltd., and the registered place of the club was changed to Shaanxi Football Association, and the localized "Northwest Fire Wolf" team logo was launched. It seems that the team has completely removed the "seafood" and is ready to become a northwest team rooted in Xi' an.
Hawken, the new chairman and legal representative of the club, told the reporter that the new club was completed by Baorong Investment Company, which is a new company composed of Baorong Investment Management Company and Jiayu Ye Wei Real Estate Company, so the name of the club only appeared Baorong. Zhongxin Company is the main sponsor of the team this year. Baorong, Jiayu Ye Wei and Zhongxin are long-term strategic partners. This joint operation and joint involvement in football is another example of their cooperation.
Baorong and Jiayu Ye Wei are both companies from Beijing, while Sino-Singapore is from Hong Kong. How did they build the team in Shaanxi? First of all, to measure the ownership of a team depends on where it was registered and its identity at the time of registration. This year, Chan Ba registered with Shaanxi Football Association, and her status changed from Shanghai Club to Shaanxi Club. Secondly, we noticed that both investors and sponsors are related to real estate (this year, we also sponsored Yiju Company, which is also engaged in real estate business). In fact, these companies set foot in real estate in Xi 'an and set up branches in Xi 'an, and their projects are concentrated in Chanba Ecological Park. For example, Zhu Jun, the head of Xi 'an Company of Sino-Singapore Group, one of the main sponsors, introduced yesterday that Sino-Singapore is developing a peninsula real estate project in Chanba Garden, covering an area of nearly 4,000 mu. The project is huge in scale and will be developed for a long time. The company is listed in Hong Kong with a listing scale of 8 billion yuan. Although these companies are foreign-funded, they have all set up enterprises in Xi, engaged in long-term development and realized the localization of capital.
At this news conference, Cheng Yaodong expressed the team's great ambition to win the Super League championship: "I said that this team will definitely win the championship within three years of moving westward. This year is the second year, and we will win the championship next year. " He explained that 2008 was the year of this year, and Cheng Yaodong was fulfilling his promise now, but we didn't notice it at that time. Will he get it?
In the 2007 season, the team was full of confidence. However, too much energy was spent on the formation of the club, which led to poor signings. 1 .4000 yuan introduced by Yi Lee, the number of goals in a season is only1,and low-level mistakes often occur in defense. Halfway through the league, the Shaanxi team actually came to the bottom. In times of crisis, Cheng Yaodong introduced foreign aid such as Rooney and Scheid, which enhanced his strength. The team also grabbed points again and again, ranking third with 13. The painful lesson made Cheng Yaodong afraid to be careless again. After the end of the 2007 season, Rooney and Scheid were renewed, Xin Feng was signed, Jiang Chen and Zhang Peng were loaned, and Wang Peng and Vicente were recalled. In the 2008 season, Shaanxi team performed amazingly, winning the semi-final Cheng Guanjun with a record-breaking 34 points. Although the Shaanxi team was overtaken by competitors in the second half of the season and only won the fifth place in the season, it has already created the best result in the history of professional football in Shaanxi.
