According to the new training and preparation plan of the national football team, the national football team will start training in Shanghai on January 11, and on the afternoon of the 10th, the luxurious "coach team" of the national football team has arrived in Shanghai first, including Yu Genwei, head coach of tianjin Jinmen Tigers. According to the schedule, in the 7th and 8th rounds of the Round of 12, the national football team will challenge Japan away on January 27 and Vietnam on February 1. It is worth noting that a few days ago, the Chinese Football Association held the eleventh executive committee and the eleventh general meeting in Chengdu, at the executive committee, Du Zhaocai, deputy director of the State General Administration of Sports and secretary of the party committee of the Chinese Football Association, said that Chinese football is in a difficult period, and the achievements of the national team are still far from the expectations of the public and the requirements of the leadership. The construction of a youth football development system and the preparation of the Asian Cup are underway.
Compared with previous years, the attention paid by all walks of life in China to this conference is relatively low, and in the reality that the league has become fragmented and the national team's performance is not satisfactory, the attention and expectations of the outside world for Chinese football have decreased. At the executive committee of the Football Association, Du Zhaocai, deputy director of the State General Administration of Sports and secretary of the Party Committee of the Chinese Football Association, Chen Shuyuan, chairman of the Chinese Football Association, and 30 other executive committee members deliberated and approved the "Work Report of the Chinese Football Association" and the financial reports of the Chinese Football Association in 2019 and 2020.
At the subsequent general meeting, Chen Shuyuan clarified the work plan of the Football Association for 2022. In view of this year's work plan of the Football Association, Chen Shuyuan proposed seven items:
1. Continue to implement the "Overall Plan for the Reform and Development of Chinese Football", deeply reflect on the current situation of the development of China's football industry, and clarify the main problems plaguing the development of Chinese football as soon as possible;
2. Promote the healthy development of professional leagues and clubs, promote the establishment of the China Professional Football Club Federation with independent community legal personality, actively promote the completion of the reform of equity diversification of professional clubs, optimize industrial policies and market income distribution mechanisms, and strive to achieve a basic balance between the income and expenditure of professional clubs in a relatively short period of time;
Third, vigorously promote the development of youth football and the cultivation of professional talents, work together with the General Administration of Sport and the Ministry of Education to do a good job in the development of youth football, formulate a national youth football development plan, and further open up the road of integration of sports and education;
Fourth, strengthen the construction and management of the national team, in accordance with the guidance of the leading group for the preparation of the national team, the remaining four games of the men's world preliminary round of the world preliminary round, the women's Asian Cup, the Hangzhou Asian Games, the 2023 Asian Cup and other competition tasks to formulate a detailed and careful preparation and service guarantee plan, make overall plans for epidemic prevention and preparation, and strive to complete the participation goals.
5. Deepen the reform of the institutional mechanism of the Chinese Football Association and promote the development of member associations;
6. Take party building as the guide and strengthen the construction of the association;
Seventh, continue to do a good job in the preparations for the Asian Cup.
Among them, the most noteworthy is undoubtedly to promote the establishment of the China Professional Football Club Federation and actively promote the completion of the reform of professional club equity diversification. In October 2019, the Chinese Football Association, which had just completed its changeover, held a press conference to inform and introduce the progress of the preparation of the Chinese professional football league, but for a long time afterwards, there was no progress in the establishment of the professional league. At the beginning of July last year, the preparatory work meeting of the China Professional Football Club Federation (hereinafter referred to as the China Football Federation) was held, and the head of the preparatory team of the China Football Federation was Already held by Shi Qiang, who worked in the General Office of the General Administration of Sport, and Huang Shenghua, the convener of the preparatory group of the professional league and the chairman of guangzhou city club, became one of the 10 club representatives of the preparatory group of the China Football Federation. Now, the Football Association has once again proposed to promote the establishment of the China Football Federation, and whether this work can be completed within this year will also be waiting to see.
In addition, in 2021, many clubs in the Chinese professional football league are facing a collapse at the economic level, in this case, it is imperative and imminent for professional clubs to complete the reform of equity diversification. In fact, as early as 2015, the "Overall Plan for the Reform and Development of Chinese Football" proposed to "optimize the equity structure of the club." Implement diversified investment by the government, enterprises and individuals, and encourage the local government of the club to invest in the shares with resources such as football stadiums, so as to form a reasonable investment source structure". Nowadays, under special circumstances, breakthroughs have been made in the reform of diversification and mixed ownership of professional clubs, and the road of diversified and mixed ownership reform of Chinese football has become clearer. Although in the process of reform, there will inevitably be some problems, but this is the direction of the country's development of football, and from the perspective of China's national conditions, it is indeed a breakthrough in the "breaking game" of China's professional league.
This season's double champion Shandong Luneng is one of the first clubs to take the initiative to carry out equity mixed reform
It is worth noting that according to the "Guangzhou Daily" report, the Chinese Football Association also put forward several specific ideas for the professional league in the 2022 season:
First, clubs should further strictly implement the salary limit policy, and the annual investment amount of the first team should be limited to 300 million yuan;
2. Make every effort to restore the home and away system, and let the localities decide whether to open up fans;
3. All players are required to re-sign their work contracts with the new clubs after the completion of the share reform;
Fourth, as long as the professional clubs have U17 and U19 two-level echelons in the future, they can reach the admission qualifications, and there is no need to be required to bear the operational pressure of multiple age groups with their own echelons, and the youth training below U17 is handed over to social forces, local football associations and campus football in stages and levels.
Although the end of the "Golden Yuan Era" of Chinese football is an ornamental decline for fans and a decline in income for league participants, it is a real burden reduction for investors. Obviously, under the premise of stabilizing the achievements of reform this year, the Football Association will continue to promote reform steadily and steadily, and strive to put Chinese football on the right track of a virtuous circle as soon as possible.
Judging from the actual situation, whether the Chinese professional football league can develop healthily and steadily is also directly related to the survival and development of the Football Association. In the "2019 and 2020 Annual Financial Reports of the Chinese Football Association" brought by He Xiaofeng, deputy secretary general of the Chinese Football Association, it is stated that the total income of the association in 2019 is 820 million yuan and the expense expenditure is 860 million yuan; in 2020, the total income is 460 million yuan, the expense is 470 million yuan, and the net loss in two years is 50 million yuan. It is worth noting that due to the impact of the epidemic, the situation of the Teams in the Chinese Super League has changed, and the revenue of the Chinese Football Association has also plummeted, compared with the 820 million yuan in 2019, the revenue in 2020 is only 460 million, which is almost waist cut. In addition, the Chinese Football Association did not disclose the revenue situation in 2021.
The purpose of China's football reform is undoubtedly for development, so is the spring of China's football reform and development coming soon? Judging from the 2022 work plan formulated by the Football Association, as long as it can be implemented one by one, the power of reform will eventually rekindle the passion of Chinese football and illuminate the future of dreams.
