On February 21, 2023, Beijing time, we received an "almost sad" news about Chinese soccer. Namely, Xinjiang's only club, Tianshan Snow Leopard, is preparing to leave the professional league. In this case, with the decline of the only child of professional soccer in Xinjiang, the blow to Xinjiang soccer is huge. In fact, for Chinese soccer, the loss is far greater than the dissolution of a club on the mainland.
Tianshan Xuebao FC is supposedly the only one in China that is dominated by local players. Dalian Wanda (Shide) was able to do this before, now let's take a look at the Dalianese club. There are less and less local players in Dalian, but not in Xinjiang. Almost all the players are Xinjiang players. In fact, the biggest problem facing Chinese soccer now is not youth training. The most important thing is that the "utilitarian" mentality is too strong, which can be called utilitarian soccer. However, this is not strong in Xinjiang. Their children still practice soccer for love and hard work.
For example, the current national soccer U20, which is the team that is training in Europe, six of the Xinjiang players had the opportunity to start and played very well. Especially Efirdin, almost booked the role of the main striker of the national football team in the next 10 years, these are the contributions of Xinjiang soccer. But now, with the dissolution of the Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard Club, I am afraid that players like Efirdin will be fewer and fewer. Because the lack of a "helicopter" platform in a region is actually a very important thing. Many fans cried online about the withdrawal of Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopard, especially in Xinjiang.
What's the connection between the unexpected preparation and withdrawal of the NWSL team? Does it have anything to do with Li Tie and Chen Xuyuan? It's hard to say in this situation now. A few days ago it was revealed that Li Tie led the HUAC overtime. Xinjiang's foreign striker suddenly refused to participate in the game for no reason, which eventually led to a 0-2 loss for Xinjiang and indirectly helped Hebei Huaxia Happiness to succeed in overtime, with Dalian losing the most. But the incident has been over for several years, not to mention that it only involved a foreign aid, not a club. Therefore, the exit of Xinjiang club is not expected to be relevant to the current Chinese soccer.
