According to the Chinese Football Association (CFA), there is a possibility that restrictions on foreign aid in the Chinese Super League will be liberalized next season to encourage foreign aid to push international players to make progress.
The headache is a typical mistake. If we increase the "quantity" of foreign aid simply because it is insufficient, we will be making the same mistake as we did in the last arms race, and we will not be able to enhance our strengths and capabilities in a targeted manner. Therefore, the design of such a response is inappropriate.
Two counterexamples are the Indian Super League and the Saudi Arabian League. The Indian Super League was really not much less hot and crazy than the Chinese Super League at the time. The level and number of foreign aiders bought was really high. What was the result? They were still at the same level, with poor results and reforms; the same with the Saudi Arabian league. Despite the nominal limitations, these four crazy buys are enough. c ro Benzema doesn't count. Is Milinkovic Neves enough? Has Saudi Arabia's achievement changed at all?
So even if the Chinese Super League liberalizes foreign aid and opens up purchases, it won't have much of an impact on results. Let's change our minds. Even if we are allowed to buy it, who dares to actually buy it? Who can really buy it? The constant changes are really scary. Real money thrown in, no splash in sight. Come back and blame it on you. No one wants to play.
Relying on foreign aid to force international players to survive is a viable countermeasure. After all, the last installment opened up too much, and a few of Guangzhou's guys are basically multi-billionaires, which really doesn't match up with the results they gave, especially with the national team's contributions, so it violates the rules. Then we should actually find the rules instead of running to the other extreme.
For foreign aid selection, you don't even need the level of Cairo Messi Benzema. You can't afford it, and you can't play at that level. What China wants is good fundamentals and really play soccer, such as Jet Croatia Norway from Eastern Europe, Japan, Korea. If they come to our local league, they can force the basic values of our international players from a fundamental and technical and tactical point of view. Completing good passes, control, dribbling and shooting, these basic lessons can guarantee a significant improvement in performance. If you don't say much, a return to the second tier of the sub region is surely not a problem. Not as good as Japan, South Korea, I-Australia, and you're certainly not afraid of Saudi Arak, Iraqi Arak and Iraq.
In that case, 8.5 places would be enough, so what's the worry about not making it to the World Cup?
So, it's OK to liberalize the foreign aid restrictions, but not to the extreme; in terms of purchasing, we should go for professional kickers who can really make a difference; and as for the policy, keep it consistent and don't change it. Play like this and there is still drama.
