High Probability of Cooperation? Nanjing Tongxi General Manager: Guangzhou Has Shown Great Sincerity to Guo Ailun

On August 27, during a domestic program discussing the future direction for Guo Ailun, Liu Jiacheng, the general manager of Nanjing Tongxi, and Yang Yi provided their personal insights.

Liu Jiacheng, the general manager of Nanjing Tongxi, said: Some things are not as simple as one might imagine. I believe every team has its reasons. Everyone can listen from different perspectives. As far as I know, Guangzhou’s sincerity towards Ailun is very strong. Apart from performance, there are other considerations, Guangzhou has other factors to weigh, which at times may be even more important than results.

Yang Yi asked about why Guangzhou would let Chen Yingjun go, stating that considering current abilities, Chen Yingjun surpasses Guo Ailun.

Liu Jiacheng said: Messi going to Miami is not just about playing football, there are many other aspects involved, which are beneficial from a macro perspective for all parties concerned.

Yang Yi emphasized: Currently, Guo Ailun himself is also uncertain about where he will go. Guangzhou is historically the first team to dismantle a CBA playoff team directly due to a significant financial crisis in its parent company. Last season, Li Yanzhe’s departure was a desperate measure for survival, now they’ve lost both an arm and a leg, and there may be a considerable gap between them and the other 19 teams in the new season.

Guo Ailun, with his pride, would personally be unwilling to join a rebuilding team like Guangzhou.

The host asked Yang Yi which team he thought would be suitable for Guo Ailun.

Yang Yi gave his commentary, suggesting that state-owned enterprises’ teams would be more suitable for Guo Ailun. It’s not necessarily the familiar few teams; Beijing has already brought in Chen Yingjun, Beikong has Liao San’ning, and Shanghai, due to internal issues, will not be bringing in any other players.
