On February 23rd in Beijing, the transfer door of Chinese soccer quietly opened, however, the relevant departments of the transfer registration details are still holding the pipa half-hidden, many clubs transfer action appears to be incompetent. At the same time, the Chinese soccer world is experiencing an unprecedented anti-corruption storm, with the number of soccer players involved in the case increasing, the topic of anti-corruption has become the focus. Against this backdrop, the Chinese professional league seems to be in a desperate situation, with many clubs struggling for survival, and some teams even facing the crisis of unpaid wages and dissolution.
In the midst of this turmoil, Li Tie's former employer, Wuhan, has been disbanded, and the former Chinese Super League powerhouse, which once boasted as many as four international players, has finally come to the end of its destiny. Li Tie and Chen Xuyuan are both responsible for this. With the return of the home-and-away system in the new season, the return of fans will bring a double boost in advertising endorsements and gate receipts, which may mean a turnaround for many clubs.
Therefore, no one would like to see the team announce its exit, and as long as it sticks around, the next season might be a turnaround. However, the Wuhan team's dissolution was like a heavy bomb, followed by another former Chinese Super League powerhouse, Hebei, which is also about to announce its dissolution. Li Tie was the head coach of this team, which explains why Hebei's general manager Gao Yao was also implicated after Li Tie was investigated.
Hebei was once the Chinese Super League's biggest money-spinner, with an annual investment that almost rivaled that of eight-time champions Guangzhou Evergrande. The team spared no expense on reinforcements, bringing in major players from the top five leagues such as Mascherono, Gervinho and Lavezzi, and even key players from their respective national teams. Hebei Huaxia Happiness's foreign aid introductions were the most in the Chinese Super League at the time, making the Hebei team undoubtedly the giants of the Chinese Super League.
However, the gender-neutral name policy implemented by Chen Xuyuan has caused investors to lose their enthusiasm for soccer investment. Clubs have regarded chicken feathers as a fearful path. In fact, Chinese soccer's neutral name policy has become the biggest obstacle to development in recent years. After all, our league cannot implement neutral names like the English Premier League. Who wants to invest in soccer if no sponsor can name at least one team?
Therefore, Chen Xuyuan's policy was undoubtedly a disaster once Hebei quit. It destroyed the destiny of the Chinese Super League teams and left the once prosperous league in tatters. We look forward to the future of the league no longer have teams quit, more hope that the neutral policy can be canceled, only in this way, can inject new vitality into the league, bring new hope for Chinese soccer, do not let Chen Xuyuan's wrong decision to hinder the development of Chinese soccer.
