In order to set an example, R&F quietly changed its name to Guoan. What is the strength on the court?

Just as Beijing Guoan, Henan Jianye and Tianjin TEDA put pressure on the Football Association through the media because they didn't want to change their names, Guangzhou R&F has quietly become the first team in the Super League to change its name to cater to the Football Association's policies. According to the corporate publicity information of Guangzhou R&F, Guangzhou R&F Football Team has been renamed Guangzhou Football Team. If there are no accidents, as a team in the same city, Guangzhou Evergrande will be renamed Guangzhou Team.

Whether it is called Guangzhou R&F Team or Guangzhou City Team, the achievements of Guangzhou R&F will not be forgotten by fans. In the first year of Guangzhou R&F Super League, it won seven consecutive victories at home in Yuexiu Mountain, defeating Guangzhou Evergrande. At the same time, he won the seventh place in the league that year. Guangzhou R&F's best performance was 20 14 and won the second place in the league. Due to the excellent performance of R&F, their city derby with Guangzhou Evergrande is usually extremely hot.

Of course, due to the decline in performance in recent years, the derby between R&F and Evergrande has been neglected, and R&F has gradually faded out of the core area of China football. However, this time, the name change of R&F caused quite a stir, and the low-key name change was caught by fans. Maybe one day, after R&F rushes to the scenic spot of China football again, they will make their new name known to the world because of their own strength.

In fact, R&F quietly changed its name, which also set an example for a team like Guoan that didn't want to change its name at all. On the football field, the name is really just a symbol. For example, Barcelona is called the Universe Team. Is it true that they are invincible in the universe? Aren't they suffering from mediocrity in the post-Messi era? Another example is Real Madrid, known as the Galaxy battleship. Really, if Real Madrid is a green horse, no one will take care of it? I'm afraid people like Mbappé and Bogba still want to wear "Green Horse" white shirts.

On the court, strength always comes first, not other football factors. It is understandable that the club doesn't want to have the name of age, but if the club packages the name as a cultural symbol, it will force the Palace Football Association to make concessions and then continue to use the old name in a unique way. Then we can only say that the club can only go so far. When they focus on the uniqueness of the name, how can they have other energy on football itself?

Look at Beijing Guoan and other teams that don't want to change their names at present. The slogan is very loud every year, and the slogan that rises every year is to fight for the first place. But in fact, the league started well every year, but it began to fall behind in the middle and late stages of the league. In the end, we can only postpone this year's goal until next year, and next year's goal until the year after next. Finally, I not only made my fans tired of watching it, but also made other fans watch jokes again and again. Shouldn't these teams reflect?

In short, R&F made a good start by quietly changing its name to other teams. In the context of the Football Association's plan to vigorously revitalize China football, it is no harm to give up some old things. Football in China is already very poor. Even if the Football Association's policy is wrong again, how much worse can it be? The rest of the clubs might as well keep up with the pace of R&F as soon as possible, deal with these small things as soon as possible, and focus on how to improve their own strength. Only in this way can we get up every day and strive for the first place.
