The rout of the Chinese men's football team in recent years has made more people who love football realize that perhaps the factors affecting the performance of Chinese football are not as simple as the 11 people who play on the court. Perhaps, there are institutional problems and there are also reasons for coaches and players.
But in any case, the rot of Chinese football (mainly referring to men's football) is rotten to the root, which is almost the consensus of everyone except the Chinese footballers themselves. But where there is a problem, it must be solved. In order to make Chinese football rise, various methods must be tried. The salary cut is a very important initiative at present.
In response to the chinese football association to start the salary reduction and investment reduction measures, at 22:00 on the night of the 15th of this month, two teams, Evergrande and Wuhan, have taken the lead in responding to the call of the football association, they began to rectify the salaries of some players in the team, and it can even be said that the extreme "one-size-fits-all" approach was adopted.
For example, Guangzhou Evergrande has a total team of nearly 100 people, but the total annual salary of the current men's team and women's team players is only more than 14 million, which is not even enough for Zhang Linpeng's annual salary that year. It is said that the current maximum salary of the men's team is only 600,000 yuan per year, and only three people can get the maximum salary, this 600,000 or pre-tax income, the real money, certainly not even 600,000.
In fact, the salary of the Chinese men's football team, before the start of the salary reduction plan, in terms of the current domestic income level, is definitely a "rich man" of tens of millions. However, such drastic reforms are indeed rare.
On the one hand, the players are accustomed to tens of millions of contracts, and suddenly reduce their salaries to 600,000 yuan, which is somewhat psychologically lagging. Will this make the players have a broken can mentality? On the other hand. Fans can't accept the end of players with tens of millions of annual salaries, but even opponents such as Vietnam and Syria have to lose miserably. When they learned that the national football team was forced to cut wages, they could only clap their hands for a while.
However, for Evergrande and Wuhan and other teams to successively reduce salaries to cooperate with the FA's salary reduction measures, is it really just because they "repented"? Want to get a feel for it?
Definitely not.
Just recently, the news that Dong Wensheng, the former chairman of Tianjin Teda, was arrested according to law on suspicion of accepting bribes did not go away. From all indications, the corruption situation in China's football field is definitely not as easy as in other fields. The relevant departments are taking measures against football club executives at this moment, presumably to give some warnings to some people who are not restrained and unclean in the field of football.
Obviously, Xu Jiayin and other people, as senior executives of the team, may have very keenly smelled the news about the rectification of the industry, so the long pain is not as good as the short pain, rather than passively accepting the salary cut, it is better to take the initiative to cooperate with the measures of the Football Association, in order to express their attitude of resolutely implementing the spirit of the document.
However, the face is the boss's, but such a huge salary cut must be implemented to every player, and Presumably any player will be unwilling. If you make a comparison, before and after the salary cut, how big is the gap between a top salary player?
For example, two years ago, Zhang Linpeng's annual salary was nearly 18.5 million yuan, but now the highest annual salary is only 600,000, only a fraction of 18.5 million. The signing fee negotiated when Wei Shihao completed the transfer that year was close to 50 million yuan. If he really accepts a salary cut and becomes a mere 500,000, how can he afford to buy a river view house in Guangzhou?
Therefore, it is foreseeable that this kind of salary reduction in intensity and magnitude is unprecedented, and the resistance of players must be unprecedented. But Xu Jiayin is iron-hearted this time, he is fiercely "one size fits all" this time, although it will make the entire industry and players dissatisfied, but for the entire group of people who love Chinese football, he is good, and he has started other teams after this.
In fact, we have been "cursing" Chinese football, especially the Chinese men's football team. In fact, it's just anger.
If they run one more step on the pitch, fight for one more foot, and defend one more person, it is possible to change the situation on the football field. However, they did not, they "strolled" on the court, and they still maintained a handsome hairstyle after more than 90 minutes of play. Under the battle clothes they inadvertently lifted, there was a belly that was whiter than the girl's face.
Yes, the Chinese Football Association should have taken this step a long time ago.
Of course, this is not enough. Salary cuts are not the purpose, but only to purify the soil of football. If Chinese football can really be played, then what awaits them is more than tens of millions of annual salaries?
