On November 22nd, the Chinese soccer world is in a state of flux, the new head of the CFA, Song Kai, made a decisive statement, announcing that he will vigorously promote the construction of professional leagues, with a view to realizing the fine governance of the Chinese soccer league. This news is like a shot in the arm, injecting unlimited vitality into the Chinese Super League.
For a long time, the prevalence of golden dollar soccer and neutral name controversy follow each other, causing deep damage to the Chinese soccer league. Teams have been disbanded, salary arrears are frequent, and match-fixing and gambling have been repeated, seriously hindering the healthy development of the league. In addition, the FA's U23 policy and the national team's preparation arrangements have been criticized by outsiders as unprofessional. Now, Song Kai has taken office and vowed to bring new professionalism to the league.
Song Kai revealed that the Football Association (FA) is working closely to plan the professional league, which will be included in the fifty articles of China's soccer reform and development. Following the change of the FA, the establishment of the professional league has entered the fast lane. Song Kai emphasized that the establishment of the professional league will greatly improve the management level of the league.
Song Kai's statement is seen as a wise move by the FA. In the future, the professional league will take over the management of the soccer league and push the league towards professionalism. Although Song Kai did not disclose the specific plan, but this decision has won the positive response of the major clubs in the Super League and the widespread support of fans. Clubs such as Beijing Guoan, Shandong Taishan, Shanghai Shenhua and Shanghai Harbor have all welcomed the move.
Fans have said, "Only when the league is professionalized and the Football Association lets go, can the league grow healthily. After all, the league is the foundation of soccer, its rise and fall will directly affect the performance of the national team!" However, there are also fans who have reservations: "Light talk is not practicing false tricks, changing people like changing soup. Song Kai has been in office for three years, but the status quo of the league has not changed significantly. The league is very lucrative, who is willing to give up this piece of 'fat meat'?"
More fans bluntly said: "every few years will appear similar news, the FA senior officials are keen to talk about professionalism and youth training, but over the years, we see only empty talk, Chinese soccer is deteriorating. On the contrary, Japan and South Korea soccer, rapid development, and even beat Germany is no longer difficult. We talk a lot and do little, but it's just a change of soup."
