China Super League (soccer league)
The expectation of the league has long been turned into helplessness. Once upon a time, we looked forward to the early launch of the league, which is the cornerstone of the professionalization of Chinese soccer and our fervent expectation. Even in 2020, when the epidemic is raging, that wait is full of hope.
In 2021, the teams continued to show their strength and level of play despite the seriousness of the widespread wage arrears. The Guangzhou team persevered to keep the
China Super League (soccer league)
Qualification, Hebei did not stumble, Yatai surprised, Shenhua woke up, Taishan led the way. Looking back on those days, it's still exciting.
Talking to the players at the time, they said they could not give up because they still had to prove to investors and the nation that even though it was tough, the Chinese professional league had never given up and was still moving forward. For the salary owed, people are not too worried, because at least there is a threshold of access, more or less will be compensated. However, nowadays, ask the players again, many of them have generated the intention to retreat, regardless of age, not to retreat, but also to go with the flow.
Sometimes, the poverty of a family is not terrible; what is terrible is the loss of the determination to move upward and the will to get out of the predicament, the total lack of fighting spirit and the lack of hope. Everyone is getting by. They do not see the rewards of their efforts, nor do they see the difference between the results of their efforts and the results of their lack of efforts.
So instead of watching a bunch of footy trainees make a lot of mistakes on the field, we should choose to be silent. Since everyone wants to save money, wouldn't stopping the league be the best way to save money? Does that really make sense?
