Recently, Chinese football has attracted much attention, on the one hand, the captain of the national football team has suddenly openly asked for salary through personal social platforms, which has aroused concern, while on the other hand, the "salary reduction order" that the Football Association will implement in the new season has made netizens even more hotly discussed. According to the "Football Club Player Quota and Salary Standards" issued by Guangzhou Football Club on February 16, the minimum annual salary of first-team players is 60,000 yuan, and the ceiling line is 600,000 yuan, which means that the annual salary of the main players is directly reduced from 5 million yuan to 600,000 yuan, the reduction rate is as high as 88%, and the salary level is directly reversed by 15 years.
According to the document, it is not difficult to see that even if you play in the first team, the starting salary of one year is even lower than the per capita disposable income level of Guangzhou, and it may be less than 60,000 yuan after tax deduction. You must know that this was put in the past "golden dollar football" era, but the annual salary standard of the first-team substitute players, which is a world away from the salary level of tens of millions in the past! With such a drastic salary cut, coupled with months of salary arrears in Guangzhou, the departure of the main players seems to be an inevitable situation.
A big V in the football circle revealed that the Football Association's salary restriction policy has caused dissatisfaction among many players, and more players have bluntly said: there is nothing wrong with salary cuts, it is a big deal to play in Southeast Asia. It is understood that after the Korean foreign aid Kim Xinyu joined the Singapore Lion City Club, he can get an annual salary of about 10 million yuan per year in the Singapore League, compared with the annual salary level after the national football team salary cut, it is indeed a lot higher, and it is not difficult for the players to leave, so why did the Football Association implement the salary reduction order in this eventful autumn of football, and what is the purpose of this?
First of all: the implementation of the "salary restriction order" can be said to be the trend of the times, and it is also a long-brewed action of the Chinese Football Association, and the thinking is also very clear. As early as 2018 to 2019, many clubs have withdrawn, and the epidemic in 2020 has further impacted the living environment of football clubs, and more than 70% of clubs have different degrees of unpaid wages and transfer fees. In the second half of 2021, the domestic business giants encountered operational difficulties, Guangzhou clubs were deeply affected, according to incomplete statistics, Evergrande lost more than 7.6 billion yuan in 7 years, but also announced that the Golden Dollar era is about to become a bubble, the Football Association chose to reduce salaries at this time, the timing is very good.
Second: Coupled with the delay in Chinese football's achievements, the public opinion orientation of domestic fans has also made the Football Association smell the crisis. The national football team takes a high salary, the results are not kicked out, the negative news is a big catch, the player sits on a salary of more than 10 million, lives in a mansion, drives a luxury car, such a comfortable playing environment, but repeatedly loses to cause public dissatisfaction! Therefore, in the face of angry Chinese fans, the Football Association must give an explanation.
Third: the national enough to defeat Vietnam 1:3, in the first day of 2022 to all Chinese fans to present a "humiliating" "gift", not only lost the opportunity to directly qualify for the World Cup, but also lost the place to enter the play-offs, but also lost the last trust of fans. Fans bluntly said that the national football team was rotten to the root, and the loss had reached the point of no bottom line, so the Football Association issued a "salary reduction order" at this time to punish the national football team in the top 12.
Finally, some players bluntly said to play in Southeast Asia, this part of the players are only individual players, it can be said that at this stage, the strength of Chinese players, even if playing in the Asian League, how many clubs are willing to accept it? Even if it goes out, it is not a bad thing for the players and Chinese football. The players who remain in the country must have a sense of crisis and re-exert their strength.
Many netizens firmly support the Football Association's salary reduction system, and at the same time suggest adding goals and winning subsidy rewards, and finally realize that the income should match the ability, so as to eliminate all the people who take the sky-high salary but can't work in the muddy waters in the game, and the national football team will rush out of the haze!
