News flash: October 26, the network out of an official Hebei team issued an internal notice, revealing the club's current operational difficulties. The notice pointed out that the club's operation has been difficult to maintain the norm, all employees have been told to enter a strike vacation state, if there is an early resumption of work arrangements, will be notified.
According to reporter Zheng Xiaowei, the problem of unpaid wages has become a common phenomenon in the current Chinese Super League.
Zheng Xiaowei mentioned in the report:
Plagued by rumors that "many teams may quit the league after the season," the Chinese Super League is facing unprecedented challenges.
Sources said that a working player told reporters, "As far as I know, less than half of the clubs in the Chinese Super League do not owe wages, and those who owe wages have been in arrears for at least a quarter, we are now holding on for dear life, and I really don't know how much longer we can hold on."
In fact, according to the author's investigation, the Chinese Super League is not an example of clubs that owe wages for more than three months. Informed sources revealed that there are even clubs that owe wages for as long as six months.
Some clubs have not paid salaries for a long time, and coaches have had to pay out of their own pockets to distribute red envelopes in players' WeChat groups in order to keep team morale up and ensure that matches run smoothly. The players were touched by this behavior of the coaches and said that they would go all out for every game despite the fact that they have been facing unpaid wages.
Then there are the players who consistently train even when they are owed wages - sometimes the training ground is down to a handful of dozen or so. "That kind of awareness is still there in order to keep yourself in shape."
Not only the players, but some of the club's employees are also facing similar difficulties, but they are still sticking to their posts. One employee jokingly said, "Now if you're not a rich kid, you don't dare to come to work at the club."
