Recently, the move of some Super League clubs to cut salaries has triggered different reactions and controversies from all walks of life. Views vary around the pros and cons of forced wage cuts. On February 21, football journalist Li Xuan spoke out again, expressing his dissatisfaction with the forced salary cuts of some clubs in the Chinese Super League...
Li Xuan said on her personal social platform that she herself did not have any opinion on the unified salary reduction order of the Chinese Football Association, even if it was reduced to 2 million before tax, she had no opinion. But "I do object to clubs forcibly tearing up contracts and forcibly cutting salaries, players are also people, you see that internationals have made a lot of money in the past few years, but there are most players who are not internationals, many of them are not high salaries, but if investors forcibly cut their salaries and tear up contracts, they are also victims...". Li Xuan also questioned whether there are still institutional rules in the football circle? Is there a credit system?
It is worth mentioning that a few days ago, Li Xuan also sent a Microblog to complain about the salary reduction of Chinese Super League players, saying: "Evergrande players with an annual salary of 600,000 yuan are destroying this industry." , and with a picture of a courier brother in Guangzhou earning 80,000 yuan a month. He said: "When couriers are more than this earn more and don't get scolded!".
In response to Li Xuan's above remarks, the comments of netizens are also very different, holding a supportive view that people who like to watch football have little to do with the salary of players, and the salary cut for most parents at present will not call children to play football in the future, which will ruin Chinese football. However, some netizens believe that "with their ability and performance, the annual salary of five or six hundred thousand is enough." As for this annual salary, no one wants to play football. That's what the stakeholders say. Seventy or eighty percent of the country's population earns less than the average income... An annual salary of hundreds of thousands is a big number for them. “。
The salary restriction measures of the Chinese Football Association and the clubs are obviously worthy of affirmation, but the procedures and amount of salary restrictions should be carefully considered and cannot be blindly determined. The Chinese men's football team has come to this step, which is caused by our rush to achieve quick success, pull out seedlings, and not act in accordance with the law of football development. Now if we want to change the status quo of China's men's football team, we must avoid overcorrection, neither blindly burning money as before, nor can we engage in "smashing the end". Chinese football really can't stand the chaos...
