Guangzhou Club's huge salary cut stirred up thousands of waves, although the players were all bitter, but there were indeed a large number of fans cheering for them. In the eyes of many fans, the level of Chinese men's football is so poor, male football players do not deserve to get high salaries!
It's one thing to be worthy or not, it's another thing to choose how the market chooses. 10 years ago, the level of the national football team did not say much stronger than now, the level of the Chinese Super League and the current ratio is almost half a pound and eight two, but Evergrande suddenly invested a huge amount of money, offered an annual salary of 5 million to introduce the national football level domestic aid, the result opened the Chinese football golden dollar period. Investors are willing to pay high salaries, can players still refuse? Now, Guangzhou clubs have cut salaries sharply, and players can leave if they can't accept it. If the whole Chinese Super League had a similar experience, the players' lives would be very difficult, but there was no way.
Guangzhou clubs can always walk in front of the policy and occupy the commanding heights, which is not convinced. However, just as many people criticized them for greatly raising players' incomes in the past, is such a demotion now really in line with the situation? From the perspective of the Guangzhou club itself, because of financial difficulties, it is also forced to be helpless, and it should be understood. Evergrande runs this club, and it has the right to choose what kind of road it wants to take. However, from the perspective of the Chinese Super League and even Chinese football, the destructive power of this is also very large, no lower than the opening of the golden dollar football mode in that year.
It is a very simple truth that the salary level of the first team of the Chinese Super League determines the expectations of young players for future career planning. In reality, youth training has a certain lag, now you can recall, professionalism in the past 30 years, which age group of players are more prominent? It is the 1981 age group and the 1985 age group, the 1981 age group national youth team was once known as the super platinum generation, and the 1985 age group national youth team had a good performance at the World Youth Championship. Under what circumstances did those children grow up? When they were young, they were just in time for the professionalization of Chinese football and the time when professional players made a lot of money. Many of their parents have even quit their jobs to raise their children to play football.
Later, the football world was full of fake gambling blacks, the club was seriously underpaid, the players' income was low, and the reputation was poor, so the children did not play football, and the national teams at all levels were completely defeated. For children, playing football is a matter of interest, and for parents, it is necessary to consider future development by allowing their children not to receive professional training.
Therefore, if the income of professional players is not as good as that of ordinary white-collar workers, there will not be many parents who will be willing to let their children play football in the future. After all, the players eat the meal of youth, and it is logical that the income far exceeds that of ordinary wage earners, otherwise, they will leave one after another. Some fans say that this is better and can make those who really love football stand out, is this the case? Can you kick a wild ball without professional training? Even if you could, in the city, find a place to play football, don't spend money? Parents do not support, can the child find a place to play football? With such a heavy school, can you squeeze out time to play football?
Therefore, Guangzhou Club's move this time, from its own point of view, there is no problem in choosing, if it has also played a demonstration role for other Chinese Super League clubs, it has also driven other clubs, for Chinese football, it may do more harm than good.
