At the same time, the victory has enabled the Chinese Super League to improve in terms of credibility, influence and professionalism. By taking Fenerbahce, a powerful club that has won 19 Turkish league titles, to FIFA, Guiao demonstrated the increased professionalism of Chinese Super League teams. The move also declared to the international soccer world that some difficult situations are not uncommon among Chinese teams and that not only the CSL owes players' salaries, but other clubs also owe us money.
Of course, this is just a starting point. To comprehensively improve the reputation of Chinese soccer in the international soccer world and enhance the status of the Chinese Super League, we need to improve in many aspects. This includes improving the quality of the referees, strengthening the management of the league, fostering a better fan culture and atmosphere, and so on. Chinese soccer hopes to start building 10,000-foot high buildings on flat ground, which is a brand new beginning!
