The report pointed out that the current situation of the Chinese Super League and the Football Association Cup is not optimistic, the first round of the Football Association Cup in the Chinese Super League team has gone out, which is not the strength of the poor, many teams have shown disillusionment. The economic difficulties are even more severe, some even to the point of unsustainable. Guangzhou Evergrande's first-team squad has yet to be assembled, and the players are in a state of anxiety, looking around for new owners. Since the news of economic fluctuation of the parent company, the first team also began to face the problem of salary arrears, the only hope is to wait for the return of the CFA reinforcement adjustment fee, if so, can still make ends meet; otherwise, whether the team can complete this season's Chinese Super League journey, and even the team will continue to exist next year, have become an unknown quantity.
It is reported that many of the third-tier teams may face dissolution after the league season, especially those with real estate backgrounds face great challenges. Even if the government and sports bureaus are brought in to carry out shareholding reforms, it will be difficult for them to fully enter the professional league. Leadership changes are also a major influence, such as the Cangzhou Lions moving to Cangzhou, where the future is still full of uncertainty due to the departure of a football-loving leader.
The current situation of Chinese soccer is like that of a rebellious teenager, with its former glory still fresh in our minds. Our league has had its share of glory, with Evergrande as the representative club in the AFC Champions League, making Japan and South Korea also chilled, however, such glory did not last long. The reason for this is that it still fails to follow the laws of soccer, and the model of relying on the government or personal preferences to invest money to maintain the operation of the team is difficult to sustain. In addition, the so-called gold dollar soccer, the history of world soccer has proved that this approach can not create a luxury team, and even if there is, it is only a short-lived glory. The operation of the Chinese Super League team is completely dependent on the money behind the blood transfusion, and once the money behind the economic and debt crisis, often unable to save the team, the most common practice is to quickly cut off the relationship, to avoid the expansion of losses. Suning and Evergrande are typical cases, and they don't have the patience to wait for the dawn. The seriousness and difficulty of the situation is indicated by the current news that the second phase of the league, originally scheduled for December 1, may be postponed, when it may not be guaranteed that all sixteen teams will participate.
Our soccer can't afford any more turmoil, and the fans can't afford to take a hit like this. We must keep our feet on the ground, even if we only improve a little bit each year, we can still see hope. All other Chinese sports can compete for gold and silver on the world stage, so why not soccer? In the final analysis, it is still the thinking of quick success and quick profit that is at work. Utilitarian soccer and image project soccer are not desirable!
