In recent months, the life of Chinese Super League players can be described as quite difficult, in addition to the Football Association Chairman Chen Shuyuan vigorously promoted the salary restriction order, the annual salary of top domestic players from tens of millions to a maximum of three million yuan, the top foreign aid maximum salary to two million euros, most of the Chinese Super League clubs are also because of business difficulties in the dilemma of unpaid wages, in addition to Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Haigang two clubs with state-owned enterprise background, the rest of the club's players have more or less suffered from salary arrears.
For example, once as powerful as the Guangzhou team, after the Football Association issued a salary restriction order, the club team also further lowered the maximum salary, the maximum salary is only 600,000 yuan, which is one-fifth of the football association regulations, such a strict salary restriction order makes foreign aid choose to terminate the contract, the past Chinese Super League overlords can only rely on domestic veteran players and even youth team players next season. For another example, not long ago, the international footballer Arthur Junmin publicly posted on social media urging his hometown club Wuhan to reissue the salary owed, and Huang Zichang, Yang Boyu and other players of the same team also expressed solidarity, but in exchange for the Response that the Wuhan team hoped that the players would take the initiative to reduce their salaries.
As the top league in China, the Chinese Super League has its practitioners fallen to this point, and the lower league environment is even more bleak. According to Zhang Hao, a reporter from the Yangtze Evening News, in some of the middle B club teams with salary stalls divided into three thousand, six thousand and nine thousand three grades, even the team members with a monthly salary of only three thousand yuan are also owed wages, and the clubs they belong to cannot even pay the food fees in the closed area, and the team members can only go to other clubs to rub a bowl of ramen to eat.
After seeing such a status quo of Chinese football, it is conceivable that the dream of wanting the national football team to stand on the top of Asia and even impact the World Cup can basically be said to be shattered. Because after the release of the strictest salary restriction order, many players have moved their minds to leave the country, and even bluntly said that it is not a big deal to play in the Southeast Asian League, because their salaries will obviously be higher in the lower level of the league.
After seeing such a dismal industry status quo, whether the parents of the younger generation are still willing to let their children play football has become an unknown, because, in such a profession as football players that originally eat youth, if the annual income is only hundreds of thousands or even tens of thousands, then after the end of the career of just a few years and more than ten years, the future of these practitioners is not guaranteed, and the upheaval is not an exaggeration. Considering such consequences, parents who are not willing to let their children take risks to play football will become more and more resistant to the football industry, so that Chinese football, which has lost its roots, has no hope of rising at all. The release of the salary restriction order can be said to have a far-reaching impact.
