After Guangzhou Pharmaceutical was relegated in 2010, Evergrande Group spent 100 million to acquire the then Guangzhou Pharmaceutical team. At that time, Evergrande was not called Guangzhou Evergrande, and the team was called Guangzhou Guangzhou Evergrande. After Evergrande acquired the team, it immediately introduced domestic players such as Gao Lin, Zheng Zhi, Sun Xiang, and brought back Muric from Brazil. The transfer fee was US$3.5 million at the time.

At that time, Evergrande won the Chinese League Championship with an absolute advantage and successfully surpassed the league. Gao Lin was also elected as the top scorer with 20 goals.

In early 2011, Evergrande completely abandoned its title trademark and changed its name to Guangzhou Evergrande. During the transfer period, they made several moves and introduced three South American foreign players, Cleo, Renato and Paulon. And they introduced Zhao Yuanxi, the biggest contributor to Evergrande reaching the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League.

The Chinese Super League in the 2011 season has become the stage for Evergrande. From the unprecedented opening ceremony to winning four rounds ahead of schedule, Evergrande created China’s Kaiserslautern myth. The joining of Kongka midway further established Evergrande's strong strength.

In the 2012 season, Evergrande continued to increase investment. Its AFC Champions League prize money, which is the best in Asia, is unrivaled. 6 million for a single game and 2 million for a goal difference. Under the leadership of Lee Jang-soo, they successfully reached the quarterfinals of the AFC Champions League.

Although he was successfully promoted, Lee Jang-soo was dismissed from get out of class. Because he was replaced by former World Cup-winning coach Lippi.

The arrival of Lippi has once again made Guangzhou Evergrande the envy of the Chinese Super League and even Asia.

A first-class coach, strong foreign players, many domestic international players, and a high-investment club.

Can such a team not be strong?
