A few years ago, the Football Association had boldly stated that it wanted to build the Chinese Super League into the "sixth largest league in the world", but now it has to face a cruel reality - the Chinese Super League has been reduced from "the sixth in the world" to an Asian third-rate league.
Recently, reporter Ma Dexing published the latest Asian league technology rankings, and the Chinese Super League fell sharply from the first place in Asia a few years ago to the tenth. Only 3 points more than the 12th-place Vietnamese League, if it continues, it will not take 2 years, and it is likely to be overtaken by the Vietnamese League and completely reduced to an Asian third-rate league.
Once upon a time, the Chinese Super League was called Asia's first-class league, and the attractive salary led to a large number of high-level foreign aides joining, and in the AFC Champions League, it also made teams from all over the world tremble. Now the prosperity has faded, leaving only a field of chicken feathers.
In the round of 12, the national football team that sacrificed the league to escort the 1-3 defeat to Vietnam, missed the World Cup 2 rounds in advance, and more international footballers in the game looked at the defense, dodged the ball and other factors caused strong dissatisfaction in public opinion.
And that's not all! At present, there are still 2 rounds of the round of 12, if the Vietnamese team, which ranks at the bottom but is only 1 point less than the national football team, wins a victory, then the national football team that is no longer angry may become the bottom team in Group B.
The results of the foreign war of the national football team were bad, and at least the Chinese Super League could use the AFC Champions League results as a fig leaf, but now even this fig leaf is gone. In the past two years, the performance of chinese Super League teams in the AFC Champions League has not been satisfactory, and last season' youth army was even more overwhelmed by the epidemic.
According to the statistical points of the AFC, last year's three teams in the Chinese Super League only won 0.8 points in the AFC Champions League, while last year's Vietnamese teams took 6 points, and the total points of the two leagues were only 3 points. Looking at the 2019 season, the Chinese Super League Big4 scored 17.35 points, second only to Saudi Arabia and the Japanese league.
In addition to the poor results in the AFC Champions League, the Chinese Super League has many problems. After the bursting of the "Golden Dollar Football" bubble, the Football Association was plagued by various negative news, such as rumors of salary arrears, and the difficulty of club stock reform.
The results of the national football team have fallen, and the Chinese Super League, which was dismembered by the national football competition last year, has also begun to fall. During Chen Shuyuan's tenure, the national team and the league both fell and collapsed!
None of them were saved! If sacrificing the league can make the national football team enter the World Cup, then this sacrifice is excusable. But now sacrificing the league has not allowed the national football team to advance to the Qatar World Cup, which is too much to lose.
Destroying the ecology of the league and leading to a decline in the level of the league, this practice of killing chickens and eggs has made the already troubled league even worse.
In the past, we always said that wolves were coming, although we were worried that the Vietnamese national team would catch up with the national football team, but at the league level, because of the existence of high-quality foreign aid, we would not worry about being overtaken by the Vietnamese league. Nowadays, it seems that it is not a fantasy that the Chinese Super League will be surpassed by the Vietnamese League, and if the 2022 season of the Chinese Super League Big4 continues to send the youth army to compete, then being surpassed is only a matter of just 1 year.
The large number of high-quality foreign aid departures, the sharp drop in salaries, if there is no home and away game, and if the fans are not restored to watch the game live, the quality of the Chinese Super League will continue to decline. Don't be at that time, sending all the main players can not play Vietnamese teams, then it will really be reduced to the Asian 3rd class in the Chinese Super League.
