World football is really a hundred years without dying, there are news to listen to, and in Chinese football, it can make people explode every day. On February 16, the Swiss Super League Grasshoppers announced that the Shanghai Harbor youngsters will join the team, and China will add another person to the Yang; at the same time, the domestic football industry is in constant scandal, Wuhan player Arthur Junmin publicly asked for wages on social media, making wage arrears a well-known thing; however, the most exciting thing is that the former Chinese Super League overlord Guangzhou team issued a new salary restriction order, and the minimum salary of first-team players may be only 5,000 yuan per month, which is lower than the salary of ordinary workers in Guangzhou.
Yesterday, the former captain of Shandong Taishan and the current Wuhan player Arthur Junmin posted on social media asking when the club owed him his salary and bonus to be repaid, and the salary was delayed again and again.
This time, the document not only set off the situation of wage arrears of the Wuhan team, but also turned out the general situation of wage arrears of domestic clubs. At present, in addition to the Shanghai Harbor team and the Chinese Super League champion Shandong Taishan team, the rest of the teams all have unpaid wages, and the Wuhan team does not even want to face it, after Arthur Junmin publicly asked for salary, it also issued an announcement to encourage players to take the initiative to reduce salaries, making people not know for a while whether this is poor madness or forget that they are still professional clubs.
But the most exciting news is that the Eight Champions League and the AFC Champions League two-time Guangzhou team have flowed out the latest salary restriction order. According to reports, Guangzhou Football Club issued the "Notice on the", in which the annual salary of first-team players is capped at 600,000 yuan before tax, a total of 3 people; the main players are capped with an annual salary of 420,000 yuan before tax, a total of 6 people; the main substitute annual salary before tax is capped at 300,000 yuan, a total of 6 people; and the annual salary of substitute players before tax is capped at 144,000 yuan, a total of 15 people. The starting salary of the first team is 60,000 yuan / year before tax.
In other words, the first-team pre-tax monthly salary is only 5,000 yuan, and in a metropolis like Guangzhou, it is not even as good as an ordinary working class, let alone compared with other white-collar and blue-collar workers. Even the annual salary of 600,000 yuan before tax is not an unattainable salary in Guangzhou, because even the average field player can earn more than 10,000 yuan per month. So in general, the Guangzhou team did not only want to reduce salaries this time, but the overall shrinkage and survive.
The only good news is that from the non-salary team Shanghai Harbor, 18-year-old Jia Boyan officially joined the Swiss Premier League Grasshoppers, and immediately loaned to Croatian Second Division side Dubrava, officially starting his career in foreign countries. Counting Wu Lei and Li Lei, who had previously stayed in The Yang, the Chinese men's football players who stayed in the Yang Army added one more person.
Perhaps both unpaid wages and salary restrictions largely reflect the decline of Chinese football and the posture of gliding all the way, but from another point of view, the chaotic Chinese Super League has largely forced young players to find other ways out, including going to competitive and complete professional leagues, and saving Chinese professional football from the curve.
