For example, on the same day that the two documents were released, at a meeting on the special governance of China's professional soccer leagues, Chen Xuyuan condemned the "money-burning" behavior of investors and issued the question, "Is your conscience dead?" The soul of the interrogation. In support of these words, Chen Xuyuan knows very well that the average investment of Chinese Super League clubs is three times that of the J-League and 10 times that of the K-League, and that the wages of Chinese Super League players are more than five times that of the J-League and more than 11 times that of the K-League. In other words, Chen Xuyuan did not utilize the data obtained by the FA after a lot of investigation and research to carry out a thorough salary reform, which is his dereliction of duty.
In March 2021, Chen Xuyuan, in a live interview with CCTV, published a "public welfare soccer theory" on Suning's suspension announcement, saying that he had communicated with Suning investors many times before and believed that soccer itself is a social welfare product, and that investors should give more consideration to investing in soccer's social responsibility and social image and "I hope this kind of thing will try not to happen in the future". To be honest, this sentence is chilling; in the historical context of the time, investors can further push away from Chinese soccer.
To this day, there are still people "speaking up" for Chen Xuyuan. I think if he had not introduced the pay cut, I am afraid that the Chinese Super League would have defaulted on wages due to financial problems, and even more clubs would have disappeared. But this is a one-sided view, knowing only one and not the other; I see the trees and the forest.
As mentioned above, if he is sitting in that position and has first-hand resources, he must make radical changes in a timely and decisive manner. As Chairman of the Football Association, isn't that the responsibility and duty?
In fact, in addition to the pay cut in two steps, countless facts have proved that in these reforms at the same time, Chen Xuyuan also mixed with selfishness, leaving a "tail".
For example, fans have been criticizing the issue of "whistled" extensions of foreign aid contracts; inventing a series of new terms related to salary, affecting the thoroughness of salary reductions, and causing great resentment among outsiders, such as "original contract", "new contract", third-party contract, and "transfer A series of new terms related to salary, affecting the thoroughness of salary reduction, and causing extreme resentment among outsiders have been invented to ensure that a club's high-paid foreign aiders can be retained or that high-paid players can be "recruited" by virtue of the parent company's powerful strength. This is the main reason why a certain team is "riding high" today.
In predicting that Harbour will win the title early this season, Li, a well-known media personality, cited the club's "stable operating environment" as the main reason. To put it bluntly, money. Most other clubs are stuck with money. But if you just have money, the FA will limit the presence of highly paid foreign aid in season 20 or even season 21. To put it more clearly, without Oscar, would Port be where it is today?
People say very clearly about "Li Renowned": with Oscar and Wu Lei, the strength of Harbor Theory is unique in the Chinese Super League.
In a sense, Chen Xuyuan is the sinner of Chinese soccer. And the "legacy" he left behind has benefited some teams.
