It's been the 21st day since Chen Xuyuan's arrest, but it now seems that Chinese soccer will be hard to get back on track anytime soon. Looking back, the Chinese Super League was full of big-name foreign aiders and world-famous coaches came to vote. The Chinese Super League was once known as the sixth largest league in the world, especially when Guangzhou Evergrande won the AFC Championship, giving the outside world hope for the rise of Chinese soccer.
However, with the bursting of the gold dollar soccer bubble, the funding of the parent companies of the teams was generally in crisis. This, coupled with the tournament system for many seasons and Chen Xuyuan's anachronistic policy of withdrawing from neutral names and vigorously promoting public interest soccer, led to the continuous dissolution and withdrawal of the teams, and the continuous scandals in the Chinese Super League. In addition, the image of Chinese soccer continues to decline due to the poor performance of the national soccer team.
As a result, the FA is also determined not to let the league move forward with a disease and will strictly control the admission system. However, the FA still has different words and deeds. If access is set for March 5, it will be postponed to March 20 because many teams did not submit the access procedure on time, and many media revealed that from the result of the submission of access materials on March 5, six teams will quit the game at the same time next.
First up was Hebei, who were relegated to China's first division. They did not submit their entry directly. From all indications, this team will be the second team to disband after Wuhan disbanded. But Hebei has been relegated to China's first division and has no impact on the Chinese Super League. The remaining five teams will also change the Chinese Super League landscape overnight once one of them withdraws from the competition.
At present, Shenzhen is involved in at least eight lawsuits and disputes over foreign aid and foreign coaches, of which the compensation for Selenas alone is already close to 100 million yuan. It is basically impossible to settle so many salary disputes in a short period of time. It is important to realize that the Chinese Super League giants Hebei and Shenzhen, who were once relegated to the Central League, are both deeply involved in the Li Tie case. Therefore, even if these two teams pass the access, they will be relegated again, so it has become a matter of time for these two teams to withdraw from the competition.
The most surprising thing is the promoted team Kunshan. Keep in mind that Kunshan entered the Chinese Super League as China's first division champions. Last season, players such as Zhao Mingjian and Delgado were heavily loaned out. However, the new season hasn't even started yet and the main investor of this team has already retired and the head coach has shifted to Henan. And Kunshan is the only team in the current Chinese Super League that has not assembled. So the possibility of Kunshan withdrawing from the competition is also high.
In addition, Dalian people, Guangzhou city and Meizhou Hakka have their own problems. Take Meizhou Hakka for example. Their operating costs for the new season haven't been lowered yet, and the same goes for Guangzhou City and Dalian Ren. In addition, these two teams still have some historical wage arrears that have not been resolved. Therefore, in extreme cases, the possibility of the six teams disbanding en masse cannot be ruled out. After Chen Xuyuan's arrest, Du Zhaocai, who is in a dangerous state, will be greatly tested. After all, the current Chinese soccer is already very sick.
