On March 11th in the Beijing time zone, veteran media personality Jia Yanfeng took to social media and published a long and emotional commentary, pointing out that the current state of the Chinese Super League has made him no longer have any expectations. He revealed that whether it is over 30 years old or in the prime of the middle generation of players, many players have quietly in mind the idea of retirement, even if you choose to stay, but also with the tide.
Jia Yanfeng exclaims in the article:
The Chinese Super League, waiting is meaningless. In the past at this time, we are always eagerly looking forward to the league as soon as possible to open the curtain, the professional league is not only a platform for the display of the national football team, but also the expectations of our hearts. Even in 2020, when the epidemic is raging, the wait is full of hope.
Entering the year 2021, in the face of massive salary arrears, the teams still try to play their own strengths, Guangzhou team held its ground and successfully retained its qualification for the Chinese Super League; Hebei team did not fall flat on its face, Changchun Yatai brightened people's eyes, Shanghai Shenhua also came to its senses, and Shandong Taishan was the leader of the pack. Looking back on that year, despite the difficulties, the Chinese professional league never gave up, still trying to move forward. Faced with the problem of unpaid wages, the players are worried, but because there is a threshold of access, more or less still get some compensation.
However, when we talk to the players again nowadays, we find that many of them have already had the intention of retiring, whether they are veterans or young players, and if they do not retire, they are just going with the flow. Sometimes, it is not terrible for a family to be poor, but it is terrible to lose the will to fight and see no hope. Everyone is going through the motions, not seeing the rewards of their efforts, or the gap between the results of not doing their best and doing their best.
Therefore, instead of witnessing the footy trainees making a series of mistakes on the field, they should choose to remain silent. Since we all want to save money, isn't stopping the league the most economical way? Is that really the best option?
