Over the past decade, our Chinese Super League has arguably been one of the hottest leagues in the world. Although it is certainly not comparable to the top five leagues at the competitive level, our Chinese Super League does not necessarily invest less than the top five leagues every year. In particular, some Chinese Super League giants invest billions of billions of dollars every year, even more than the five major league giants. And in the past ten years, our Chinese Super League has introduced a lot of big-name foreign aid and big-name foreign teachers, so that the fans who watch the ball are a little confused, as if they feel that they are in Europe, watching the European League. Because the big stars running on the field and the world's top big coaches are directed off the field, it can be said that who watches the ball in the stands is difficult not to trance.
It can be said that at that time, the Chinese Super League was a very hot league in the world, so such a hot atmosphere also attracted a lot of money inflows. When the club had money, it began to invest heavily in reinforcements. So let everyone form an impression, that is, to play in the Chinese Super League is very profitable, so in fact, many European and American players have been holding their breath to play in the Chinese Super League over the years. Of course, it is not only foreign aid and foreign teachers who benefit from it. The treatment of our local players has also increased exponentially or even dozens of times. At its peak, even young players who have not yet made it to the first team can get millions. It can be said that playing football at that time was probably the easiest sport to make money in China.
So at that time, the Chinese Super League was actually a brand, an endorsement, and if a club played in the Chinese Super League, it meant that there would be a lot of financial support, and the team's life would be colorful. But everyone knows that heat is time-sensitive, it is always consumed, so when the heat passes, capital will be lost, and when capital begins to withdraw, it means that danger is coming. The Chinese Super League has experienced all this recently, and the large withdrawal of capital has made it difficult for the club to start operating, and in the past two seasons, there have been giants who have directly announced their dissolution. And the lower leagues are even worse, and even the disbanded teams have double-doubled. It can be said that the safety of the league has been seriously endangered.
So later, our Football Association also limited the annual salary of internal and external reinforcements, as well as the maximum limit of reinforcements, and even the upper limit of club investment, in order to be able to reduce the overall operating costs. However, at present, although the operating costs have declined, it is not easy for the club to get through the difficult period, after all, the entire market has been almost hollowed out, and it is difficult to get out of the predicament without strong backing support. So for many teams, being able to barely maintain in the Chinese Super League and not disbanding is already the best result. And the teams that are about to be promoted to the Chinese Super League will also weigh it, after all, the Chinese Super League is admitted, and the cost will definitely be much higher than when it was in the Chinese League. In fact, the difference can be seen from the investment cap formulated by the Football Association, the Chinese Super League does not exceed 600 million yuan, the Chinese First Division 200 million, and the Chinese Second Division 50 million yuan. That is to say, from the Middle Division to the Chinese Super League, at least face the doubling of costs.
Therefore, in the current situation of such a bad environment, many Chinese first division teams are daunting for the super, because promotion to the Chinese Super League means a significant doubling of the cost, which is difficult for many teams to bear, because it is too difficult to introduce funds now. So even some teams have taken the initiative to be relegated, such as Shaoxing Keqiao Yuejia team, they have been relegated all the way from the Chinese Super League to the Chinese Champions League, and the reason why they were previously relegated to the Chinese Second Division was that the access was unqualified.
But that's a good thing for some teams that have the strength and the willingness to overtake, because there may be relatively fewer competitors than in previous years. However, as far as this year is concerned, there are not a few teams in the Chinese League A that have the strength to rush overtake, such as Meizhou Hakka, Wuhan Sanzhen, Chengdu Rongcheng and Zhejiang. These four teams are basically alternately rising, except for the three towns in Wuhan who firmly won a wave of consecutive wins to rush ahead of time. The other three teams take turns in the second place. Especially the Zhejiang team and the Meizhou Hakka team, the last round is still competing for the second, zhejiang team is a wave of four consecutive points to equal the Meizhou Hakka team, and with the previous double kill Meizhou Hakka, occupy the advantage. The Meizhou Hakka team must score at least 1 point in the last round to directly overtake the success.
The opponent of the Meizhou Hakka team in the last round was the quite good Kunshan FC, and as a result, in the opening 18 minutes, The Kunshan FC scored a goal by Gong Chunjie, and the Meizhou Hakka team fell behind 0-1. After that, the pressure-heavy Meizhou Hakka team began an onslaught, but could not score until the 6th minute of full stoppage time, when everyone was desperate. Gui Hong, who came off the bench in the 67th minute of the second half, was threatened. He cut inside outside the penalty area and swung out a slot, then fired a direct long-range shot into the far corner, the ball was in response to the net, and the goalkeeper could not do anything. And after this ball is scored, the game is over, it can be said that this is a foot to read the seconds of the absolute draw. And it was this absolute goal that directly helped Meizhou Hakka team successfully promote to the Chinese Super League, becoming the first county-level team in the history of the Chinese Super League.
What's even more interesting is that Gui Hong's goal is his first goal of the season. He joined Meizhou Hakka on loan from Guangzhou City this season, starting in just three of his 11 appearances and scoring no goals. That is to say, Gui Hong scored 1 goal this season, and this ball changed the fate of the team. And this ball is actually worth a lot, because of this ball, the team rushed to succeed, that is to say, next year, the operating costs of meizhou Hakka team will be doubled, at least to spend hundreds of millions more.
So Gui Hong put forward a value of several hundred million yuan, which is more expensive than the golden ball. However, we are also looking forward to the performance of Meizhou Hakka in the Chinese Super League in the new season, mainly to see whether the team that can invest steadily in the Chinese First Division can play a good role model in the Chinese Super League. What do you think of Gui Hong's ball, are you optimistic about the performance of Meizhou Hakka in the Chinese Super League next year? Friends are welcome to discuss together in the comment area!
