Soccer League Dilemma Explored
On December 2, Sohu Sports Sports World column, senior sports media Li Xuan on the current Chinese Super League and the national football team into the dilemma of an in-depth discussion. Li Xuan believes that our administrators have no respect for soccer and insufficient understanding of the rules, which is the main reason for the poor operation of the league; at the same time, the administrators selfishness, in order to prove their own and constantly overthrow the results of the previous, even if it is the right right thing to do.
Li Xuan began by pointing out the problems of the National Football League, "We have been pursuing professionalization since '94, although the road of development has been tortuous. However, in the blink of an eye it has been nearly 30 years, we are still groping on the road to professionalization, and have not yet fully realized a professional league. for 30 years, we have not deeply explored what is a professional league, resulting in an awkward status quo."
Li Xuan further elaborated, "I have come into contact with multiple administrators who boast of a lifetime of competitive sports, Olympic gold medals and other sports, but lack respect for soccer and do not understand the rules of soccer, especially the development of the national football team. Although soccer is a competitive sport, but it and basketball, diving, table tennis and other sports are very different, in our country is even more special. Our soccer administrators are unwilling to study in depth, unwilling to learn from experience, from the end to the beginning, and then to the end, in the army management and league operations are not substantial improvement."
"As a matter of fact, many truths are understood and have long been made clear in the State Council documents, but they are just not implemented. The professional league that has been talked about for many years has not been established so far, and if it is considered right it should be put into practice and not remain in words. The national team is not performing well and the league is full of problems, it is time to reposition ourselves."
Li Xuan believes that "the frequent occurrence of chaos in recent years is also due to the failure of the local sports bureau to play its due role. Clubs can not work, then look for the Football Association, and then apply to the Sports Bureau, to take some administrative means, this is also a road. Next, I think the equity reform is a road, whether private or state-owned, can be injected, the key is that we practitioners to run the cake, tell everyone that this is a lucrative business, this cake is delicious, spend some money to taste. Instead of like the previous Evergrande, once up to want the championship, not only ruined the club, but also ruined the enterprise, more importantly, ruined countless children. The next person engaged in soccer, first of all, pure love of soccer, respect for soccer."
Li Xuan then talked about: "In our country, soccer is not only a favorite sports activity of the common people, it is both economic and cultural, commercial and political, with a very high degree of comprehensiveness. If the experience of soccer management can be institutionalized and standardized, it will naturally attract outstanding entrepreneurs to pay attention to soccer and invest in it. In fact, many of the ideologies and rules are already clear to us, and we just need to make concerted efforts to implement them. If we keep staying on the road, we will never be able to reach the desired goal."
Li Xuan also mentioned fan "shareholding", "If you run a club in a standardized way, the local fans should have enough money. If you play crooked and impractical, it won't work. Players and coaches can also accept that fan shareholding is also a good form."
Li Xuan also pointed out the selfishness of some managers, "Newly appointed managers must prove that they are better than the previous one, and they have to change and overthrow a lot of things of the previous one, even if they are correct. This goes against the rules of soccer, even the rules of the sport and the rules of sports, and with this selfishness in there, naturally a lot of things can't be done."
Li Xuan then mentioned the "four no's" of the national soccer team: "no humility, no study, no hard work, no unity. Including our managers, practitioners, players, coaches, usually seldom see the ball, study business, our coaches are even more so, think they are better than anyone else. Especially not unity, not unity can not make the work into a great cause. Why we turn around for 30 years and go back to square one is because we are not united. Also, why can't we execute together when we've reached consensus on so many issues, just because these people are selfish and think I can be better than you, and it just ends up being a mess."
Finally, Li Xuan said that the national football people should be hard work, "originally you get ten million a year, now take 100,000, but also more than the ordinary people take, you soccer practitioners pay structure should not be so much higher than us. Your contribution to society, your contribution to your work is really not up to the mark, none of you can get ten million. Gold dollar soccer has messed up the pay structure and made it impossible for our players to play and train on the ground. Now we need to quickly establish a professional league and get professionals to run the league to get it on track and give us the confidence to play in the league."
