Shenhua's coaching staff is worried about the departure of 13 players from the Shenhua team as the Chinese Super League (CSL) is on hiatus and players are heading to the national team. Shenhua's performance in the Chinese Super League has been poor this season, and the coach wants to use the off-season to strengthen the squad, but it is difficult to gather players due to the national team tournament. Worried about injuries to players on the national team affecting league performance, the coaching staff is also deeply concerned about corruption in the management of the Hong Kong team, and internal tensions have intensified, threatening the team with disqualification from the league.
Wuhan Sanzhen, last season's champions, announced that their investors would not inject any more money into the team due to the league's environment, and even intended to transfer the team. Players are at risk of losing their jobs, teams are facing disbandment, and preparations for the AFC Champions League and Chinese Super League are uncertain. The Chinese Super League has become a third-rate league due to the poor environment, and it is difficult for the FA to intervene to prevent teams from quitting. With the gold-dollar soccer policy rejected, the future of Chinese soccer has become a question mark, and the media and practitioners are worried.
The Chinese Super League is in the doldrums, with investors pulling out, teams quitting, and problems with wage arrears. The anti-corruption and anti-triad operations in Chinese soccer have turned the league into a chicken feed, the era of gold dollar soccer is over and the way forward is a mystery. The CFA is facing a major challenge, how to restore the vitality of soccer in the short term is a top priority. Fans are looking forward to the return of the Chinese Super League to the right track, and hope that the relevant departments can provide good measures to help Chinese soccer out of the doldrums.
