It is reasonable to say that Chinese football salary arrears are not new, but the two things that happened in these two days make people who really like football really can't laugh. One is the national football captain Arthur Junmin online public salary, the other is the former Chinese Super League eight champions Guangzhou team and 5 naturalized players officially terminated the contract, and issued the company's white-collar salary reduction notice, compared with the Football Association's pre-tax 3 million yuan maximum salary, Guangzhou team directly cut the player's salary to the previous 10%, the highest is only 600,000 before tax, the starting salary is only 60,000. Xiaobian did not expect that in his lifetime, his salary would be comparable to that of professional football players.
Last season, Guangzhou suffered a serious existential crisis, the team was in the second stage of the Chinese Super League under the condition of salary arrears and finally locked in the third place, the local players on the field showed an impressive fighting spirit. And the reason for this strong motivation, the players naturally hope to prove their value with performance, so that there are gold owners to accept the Guangzhou team.
However, although the legend is that China Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group intends to return to football to take over guangzhou again, it has not had any eyebrows until now. The reason is actually very simple, that is, Evergrande, which is in the depths of the water, still does not want to give up running football. However, compared with the previous big money to open the Chinese football golden age, this time Evergrande is doing the opposite, almost suppressing the cost of football operations to the minimum. According to the notice of "Player Fixing and Salary Standards" issued by them, the total salary of the Guangzhou first team for the whole year is capped at 8.28 million, and the average annual salary is 276,000 yuan. Counting other expenses, you can do it with 30 million a year. You must know that when Evergrande won the AFC Champions League, the bonuses sent out alone were more than this number.
If you put it before, this input is estimated that even the middle B can not stay. But the reason why Evergrande now has the courage to introduce such a salary restriction order is two reasons, first of all, the Chinese Super League team is generally in operational difficulties, the club owes wages in a large area, and the team regards living as the only goal at the moment. In this case, even if the Guangzhou team has greatly reduced its operating costs, it is very promising to survive in the Chinese Super League.
Secondly, the 2.0 version of the most stringent salary restriction issued by the Football Association, compared with the opposition of most clubs last year, these unpaid clubs can now be said to be in favor of it, and even some clubs have proposed to re-sign contracts with their players on the basis of the new rules now. Here we must mention the Wuhan team, after the public salary of Arthur Junmin online, a major leader of the Wuhan club responded to the effect that the salary was paid, the bonus was not paid, hoping to negotiate a solution, and said a meaningful sentence: "The club believes that in the context of the Chinese men's national football team being scolded by the fans, the captain Arthur Junmin is a bit impulsive to post (ask for salary) like this ..."
The meaning of this sentence is very simple, the national football team has kicked so stinky, do you actually mean to ask for a salary? In recent times, there have been many so-called fans on the Internet who hold this view, but if the main person in charge of a club also says such a thing, then his professional quality is really questionable.
But it can also be seen from this that most of the current Chinese Super League clubs are a kind of attitude of getting by, they don't even care whether they are relegated, and even have a little yearning because of the lower operating costs of the Chinese League One. Guangzhou team sits on the Evergrande Football School that has been operating for 10 years, even if all the existing main players are sent away, relying on the momentum of young players, coupled with the weakness of other Chinese Super League teams, they are not a big problem in basing themselves on the Chinese Super League.
However, whether it is the salary cut of the guangzhou team's white-collar level, the head of the Wuhan team and even the netizens' sneering and even schadenfreude about Arthur Junmin's salary, it reflects a problem, that is, the general environment of Chinese football has reached an incomparably bad level. Cultivating a player who can play in a professional league is inherently a difficult task, and the elimination rate is very high. The biggest motivation for parents to let their children play football is that they can get a relatively generous salary after playing professional football. But now the Football Association cuts salaries once and for all, and the minimum annual salary of the Guangzhou team of 60,000 yuan will make young people completely lose their enthusiasm for embarking on the road of football, after all, this salary is not as good as entering the electronics factory, at least it is not so hard.
If this continues to develop, Chinese football will have almost no one to use, and the industry will eventually reach the end. And football cannot be achieved in the world's first sport, and no matter how many Olympic gold medals China wins, it can only be a sports power, not a sports power.
