Former General Manager of Shenzhen FC: Shenzhen FC spent over 2 billion in three and a half years

Recently, Li Xiaogang, former general manager of Shenzhen Football Club, published the book titled \"Working in Football at Country Garden – Notes from a Football General Manager.\" In an interview with the Football Newspaper, Li Xiaogang talked about his original intentions and vision for writing a book. Looking back on my experience working in Evergrande’s football department, it’s truly remarkable. It took me three and a half years, and over 2 billion yuan, to go from being a complete outsider with no knowledge of professional football to someone who had developed some basic understanding of it. During that time, I had to make many difficult decisions and work hard. Therefore, when I left Country Garden and said goodbye to football, my heart was filled with reluctance; of course, there was also regret and guilt.
In the Chinese Super League, there are only Alibaba, Tencent, Wuliangye, Moutai, CNPC, Sinopec, China Mobile, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Bank of Communications, Bank of China, Fuyao, Huawei, Wanda, Evergrande, Shanghai SIPG, and Guoan. These 16 organizations came to have fun. It’s only now that I’m really getting the hang of it!
