The latest ranking of Chinese football teams has revealed that Guangzhou Cloud is one of the lowest ranked clubs, falling below the top four teams in terms of overall performance and youth development.

According to the latest rankings released by the China Football Association (CFA), Guangzhou Cloud fell from seventh place in the previous ranking to ninth this season. This means that the team is not only in the bottom half of the league but also has struggled with youth development issues.

In recent years, Guangzhou Cloud has made significant progress in the field of youth development, as it has established a number of training facilities and programs aimed at improving the talent pool of its players. However, despite these efforts, Guangzhou Cloud still faces challenges in terms of performance on the pitch.

One of the main problems facing Guangzhou Cloud is its lack of youth talent. The club has been criticized for failing to attract enough young players who have the potential to make a big impact on the team. In addition, the club has struggled with injuries, which has affected its ability to train and compete effectively.

Another issue facing Guangzhou Cloud is its inability to develop its own players effectively. While the club has invested in youth development, there is no guarantee that its players will be able to fully utilize their talents on the pitch. As a result, the team may struggle to compete at the highest level of the league.

Despite these challenges, Guangzhou Cloud remains hopeful that it can turn things around and improve its performance next season. The club's management has been working hard to address its weaknesses and establish new initiatives aimed at developing its players. It remains to be seen whether these efforts will be successful, but with the right support and resources, Guangzhou Cloud can potentially rise back up to the top of the league.
