As of now, the Hebei Football Club's officials have not yet responded positively to the news that all the players have taken a vacation to protest. However, numerous informed sources have revealed that the incident has come true. Apparently, the Huaxia Wonderful Group, which is facing financial difficulties, is trying to get rid of its heavy soccer burden. However, if the first phase of the Super League battle to 6 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses, successfully promoted to the championship group of teams in December to withdraw from the second phase of the league, which will bring unforeseen catastrophic impact on the Super League. After all, the heavy pressure and challenges faced by Hebei Football Club in its quest for shareholding reform are also visible in clubs such as Team Guangzhou and Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic ......
In fact, as early as the 2019 season, Huaxia Wonderful Group has abandoned the "golden dollar soccer", began to tighten spending. Last fall, under the guidance of the Ministry of Housing and Construction and the Central Bank, the famous "three red lines" were issued, and many real estate enterprises were on the "red list" for failing to meet the standards, including four companies involved in the soccer industry: Evergrande, Fuli, Greenland and Huaxia Wonderful. This winter, huaxia beautiful and exposed the news of the capital chain break. According to the new Beijing newspaper on the first half of this year's data statistics, evergrande, greenland has been promoted to two step on the line of the "orange file", rich power is still "red file", and huaxia beautiful has fallen out of China's real estate TOP50 list, from the "three road From the perspective of the "three red lines" policy, Huaxia is also a "red file".
With the intensification of the crisis, Hebei Football Club had to start self-help. In February of this year, the club has repeatedly submitted special reports to the relevant departments of Hebei Province, requesting the provincial and municipal governments to give support to the policy. in April, the relevant departments of Hebei Province took the lead in convening the "work of the soccer reform and development strategy of the thematic scheduling meeting", for the operation of the Hebei Football Club under the banner of Huaxia beautiful puts forward a clear instruction, asking for Develop a club reform program. At that time, the program included the introduction of state-owned capital to participate in the club's operations, encourage enterprises to continue to invest, promote equity mixed system reform, promote the construction of youth training bases and so on. However, as of now, no substantial progress has been made on related matters.
After online rumors that Hebei Football Club issued a strike leave notice, the club has not officially responded, but instead sent birthday wishes to player Cui Lin.
Against this backdrop, Hebei Football Club's players and coaches are in a difficult situation. Despite the club's success in advancing to the title contention group in the first phase and accomplishing its relegation goal early on, the victories on the field could not hide the hardships off the field. Yin Hongbo, a heavyweight who decided to stay on this season despite the club's financial woes, has openly expressed the struggles of the team and the hard work of the players.
After the Hebei Football Club's strike leave notice was revealed, Yin Hongbo, who is training in Suzhou, once again posted a message saying that he hopes the team can get through this difficult time as soon as possible. However, it is obvious that the most crucial thing for Hebei Football Club to get through this difficult time and avoid further deterioration of the situation is to find funds.
It is worth mentioning that a few days ago, Hebei Football Club through the official channels released news about the Hebei Provincial Sports Bureau, Langfang City Sports Bureau related leaders to visit the base, but from the actual situation, the club's equity restructuring operations and no substantial progress. Once the Hebei Football Club's problems can not be solved, Hebei team is likely to withdraw from the next Super League, the league schedule will be directly affected, the Super League will also face two consecutive years of teams to withdraw from the embarrassment.
The future of Hebei Football Club is uncertain, but the direction of China's soccer development is not. on October 25th, the State General Administration of Sports issued the "14th Five-Year Plan" (hereinafter referred to as "the Plan") for sports development. The plan has 15 parts, more than 30,000 words. Among them, soccer is mentioned in the column 8 "three big balls" revitalization project, in which the description of the league is, "We should vigorously promote the construction of soccer and other projects working league management institutions, to build a systematic and perfect working league with world influence, and to promote the construction and operation of soccer stadiums with the Asian Cup as an opportunity. "
For the construction of the Chinese soccer working league, the goal of "establishing a working league management organization and regulating the operation of working clubs and the development of working leagues" proposed in the "14th Five-Year Plan" of the General Administration of Sport seems to be easier to achieve, after all, the working league management organization has already been held in early July. After all, the preparatory meeting of the China Football Salon Federation has been held in early July, and the four caps policy and the reform of club name neutrality introduced by the CFA are actually regulating the operation of working clubs and the development of working leagues, in other words, from the perspective of accomplishing the mission of the 14th Five-Year Plan, the work of working leagues will be relatively easy.
In contrast, the planning of the "men's national team strive to reach the first-class level in Asia, the women's national team strive to reach the leading level in Asia" description, triggered a greater heated debate. At present, Li Tie led by the Chinese men's football team in the 2022 Qatar World Cup qualifying round of 12 situation has been critical, the world ranking of the Asian teams, the first Asian ranked Iranian team is currently accumulating 1545.02 points, down 100 points within Japan, Australia and South Korea, three teams, which consists of the first group of the four teams in Asia, China is the last of the four strongest from Asia! South Korea has a huge gap of 154.9 points. Therefore, the goal of the national football team to reach the first-class level in Asia before 2026 seems to be somewhat unrealistic. Women's football situation relative to men's football is slightly better, but now ranked fourth in Asia, China's women's football from the third-ranked Japanese women's football team also has a 100-point gap, Asia's leading this goal is also a long way to go.
Looking back, the national team's mission is more difficult than the working league's. In April 2011, the State General Administration of Sports issued the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" for the development of sports undertakings, and soccer became the first of the three major sports to be singled out. "The important objectives of the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for soccer are: to establish and improve policies and regulations, to guide the standardized development of working soccer clubs, to establish a good order of soccer leagues, and to improve the level of soccer leagues; to strengthen the construction and management of the national team and various types of teams, to improve the level of training, and to strive to achieve good results in major soccer events; to strengthen the professional management body of soccer; and to strengthen the professional management body of soccer, and to strengthen the professional management body of the national team. achievements, strengthen the organization and construction of soccer professional management bodies, rationalize the management relationship, promote the separation of management and administration, strengthen professional self-discipline and improve the management level. By 2016, the Chinese Super League team has won the AFC Champions League title, the Chinese Super League is also sought after by the capital, in 2015, the Chinese Super League copyright also sold five years 8 billion, the same year, the Football Association change program was announced, announced that the Chinese Football Association and the General Administration of Sport decoupling, in 2017, the football management center officially off the cards. Only the national team, the impact of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil failed, and even the Asian regional top ten did not enter, but in 2015 the Asian Cup into the top eight, more or less is to save some face.
In August 2016, the sports development "13th Five-Year Plan" was officially announced, the implementation of soccer reform and the "three big balls" development action plan have put forward specific requirements for soccer. In particular, the overall program of China's soccer reform and development strategy, which was considered and passed by the Leading Group for Comprehensively Deepening Reform of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), has become a top priority. According to this program, the General Administration of Sport's 13th Five-Year Plan for the Chinese Super League calls for "improving the soccer competition system and working league system, and giving full play to the role of clubs as the main body of the market." This also makes the Chinese Super League in the new crown epidemic before the advent of the display of unprecedented fierce competition. In addition, the construction of soccer venues and facilities proposed in the plan, all exceeded the target in 2020. But "men's and women's soccer to participate in the World Cup, the Asian Cup, the Olympic Games and other major world tournaments have a good performance." This requirement is still not honored, men's football is still no World Cup, and then rely on the Asian Cup into the top eight to cover the shame, the results also made a scene of Ripley's fire resignation, women's football relative to men's football is better is the team won the runner-up in the Asian Games in Jakarta, but the turn of the year's World Cup but in the group after the line failed to go further.
From the "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" to the "Fourteenth Five-Year Plan", the word "soccer" in the General Administration of Sports Development Plan, were mentioned 16 times, 33 times and 51 times, the General Administration of the importance of the sport of soccer The degree of importance that the General Administration attaches to soccer can be seen. But in the league is cold, the national football results than the league is also cold now, the outside world is difficult to CFA to complete the 14th Five-Year Plan goals with optimism. However, 2021 is only "fourteen five" the opening year, this cycle and the 2023 Asian Cup and 2026 World Cup two competitions, the Asian Cup held in China, and the World Cup will be the first expansion to 48 teams, Asia will get 8.5 places, which means that the national football team then put in more effort to complete the goal of first-class in Asia. After all, Asia's first-class this standard can be very broad, can enter the World Cup, is also regarded as Asia's first-class team ......
In recent years, China's soccer stagnation or even regression, are signs that it needs to change, and from this "14th Five-Year Plan" development plan, we can at least see the direction of China's soccer development and hope. But down-to-earth, China's soccer has never lacked programmatic documents, the key is how to plan out things into practice. Just like the celebrity Han Qiaosheng commented, "the old tradition of word by word, we all know the reason. Even if a national soccer game have not seen the fans understand, but how to implement it? Really waiting."
