Compared with other teams that have changed their names, such as Shandong Luneng changed its name to Shandong Taishan, Guangzhou Evergrande directly changed its name to Guangzhou Team, and Tianjin TEDA has also changed its name to Tianjin Jinmen Lake. The renaming of Shanghai Shanghai Port obviously reveals a little insincere feeling. Although registered in Shanghai, the abbreviation of Shanghai is somewhat tricky, which is why the name change has caused quite a storm in China football.
Previously, Shanghai Shanghai Port said in the royal media that it would use the "Shanghai Team", and then immediately said that it was a kind of humility and generosity not to use the "Shanghai Team", while many people compared the name of "Shanghai Port" to a conspiracy and a cover-up by the Football Association ... Although it seems reasonable, on the whole, the name "Shanghai Port" has been compromised by all parties in Shanghai football.
As we all know, the "Derby" between Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai is full of gunpowder, but now it is the best result after the game between all parties. The name change has been hyped for two months now, and there are still many irreconcilable situations, such as Guoan, such as the revival of Henan Jianye, which was renamed Longmen in Luoyang. The name change policy of China Football Association can be said to have caused great changes to the future third-level league teams in China. Even the signing of the contract was suspended and changed to the name of the whole staff. I don't know whether such a long-term mobilization can really play a good role in the future of China football. Maybe it's because the long-term vision of the Football Association is beyond the reach of ordinary people, or maybe it's ... hard to say.
Now that the name change of Shanghai has been completed, the question is what attitude the Football Association will take towards this new name, which is a bit of a "trick". If it is the same as Shanghai, will Guoan adopt the same method in the future? Everything is unknown, but it can be speculated that the name of China football team will become unfamiliar in the future, and it will become as familiar as the name of today's team in a few decades, but who knows that the policy may change again in a few years. ...
