Although the epidemic was the trigger, the Chinese Super League has gradually resumed the home-and-away system this season and has entered its third epidemic year. However, the financial situation of the Football Association has not seen any improvement, and the revenue continues to shrink, failing to effectively compensate for the loss of the Chinese Super League. This situation has directly affected the performance of the national team, and the Chinese Super League has had to make concessions for the national football team, resulting in a double decline in the league's popularity and spectatorship, which in turn has had a serious impact on the Chinese Super League's income from royalties and advertising and sponsorship fees!
Chen Xuyuan, president of the Football Association, bears primary responsibility for the situation. Under his leadership, the national team's results have not improved, and the decline of the Chinese Super League has far outpaced the impact of the epidemic. At the end of the season, he was met with unprecedented public condemnation and protests from the three Chinese Super League clubs in Wuhan. Needless to say, Chinese soccer has hit rock bottom. Nevertheless, we still believe that this year the Chinese Super League is expected to return to the right track and usher in a real turnaround! (Old Qiu's Super League commentary)
