As we all know, football is the world's largest sport, so the income of the top football players in various countries is often far more than that of players engaged in other sports, but in China this situation does not seem to be true, Wu Lei as the strongest player in the national football team, his salary is pitifully low, the Spaniards gave him a salary of only 1 million euros, equivalent to 7.5 million yuan, and he does not have any endorsement income overseas, counting some national team subsidies and rewards, Wu Lei's annual income is probably only more than 10 million.
This income level is almost out of line among China's top sports. Take the recent very hot Su Bingtian, he became famous in the Tokyo Olympic Games, 9.83 seconds has become a new speed in Asia, with the strong play of this gun, Su Bingtian became famous after returning to China, fans have compared him with Liu Xiang at his peak, and it is precisely because of this that Su Bingtian's income and subsequent rising boats, various commercial endorsements are also coming, Skoda, Yida, Arowana, Millet, Trumpchi and other giants have signed Su Shen.
After successfully signing a contract with the official supplier of the Hangzhou Asian Games, Su Bingtian currently carries a total of 16 endorsement brands, large and small, and relying on these commercial endorsements alone, Su Bingtian's annual income can easily exceed 20 million. Coupled with the prize money he receives from international competitions such as the Olympic Games and state government subsidies, Su Bingtian's annual income is expected to reach 25 million, which is more than twice that of Wu Lei. You know, athletics have a relatively limited influence in the world, and their attention is not proportional to football, but Su Bingtian can easily get more annual salary than Wu Lei.
In addition to Su Bingtian, the hottest figure in the Chinese sports world in recent years is Lin Dan, the king of badminton. According to the well-known self-media big coffee sports pickpocket revealed, Lin Dan's career (counting the team competition) has won a total of 81 championships, which is the official certified GOAT of Chinese sports, and his annual income at the peak is nearly 100 million. Recently, he spent 70 million yuan in Xiamen, after three years of meticulous construction of the palace-style mansion was finally completed, the ribbon-cutting scene Lin Dan and his wife Xie Xingfang appeared, it is rumored that the interior of the luxury villa is decorated with gold utensils, showing a sense of luxury.
It can be said that Lin Dan's annual income can also easily crush Wu Lei, and in other fields, Yao Ming, Li Na, Li Ning and other people's peak gold absorption ability is also unmatched by Wu Lei, as the world's most profitable sport, Wu Lei is obviously not doing well enough in the field of football, originally thought that he could promote the progress of the overall strength of the national football team after the message, his popularity can also spread overseas, so that Spanish fans can also see the strength of Asian players, unfortunately, Today' Wu Lei has suffered a ball shortage of more than 530 days in La Liga.
At present, Chinese professional football players have no longer become an enviable and desirable high-paying profession, and the promulgation of Chen Shuyuan's salary restriction order has made the maximum salary of domestic players only 5 million after tax, which is nearly three-quarters of the annual salary of Zheng Zhi in the past of 18.5 million. What's more, the operation of various clubs is worrying now, and scandals such as wage arrears and dissolution appear frequently, which also makes players dare not expect high salaries, only hoping that their salaries can be obtained as soon as possible. When will Chinese football be able to produce a world-class star, and can fans wait for it in their lifetime?
