Today, the financial crisis of China's professional leagues at all levels has reached the stage of concentrated outbreak. Under such circumstances, the players have never been able to get their salaries on time, and even have been owed wages for a long time, and even the national football team has been affected. Recently, song Chengliang, a well-known football journalist, revealed that last season, only Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Harbor were relatively financially normal among the chinese Super League giants, and other clubs have been unable to pay salaries for a long time.
Song Chengliang revealed: "It is reported that Evergrande has not paid salaries since September, as has Shanghai Shenhua, and Beijing Guoan has been longer. The rest is that SIPG and Tarzan are more normal, which are the clubs that the international team has contributed the most. ”
According to Song Chengliang, the wage arrears of Guangzhou Evergrande and Shanghai Shenhua have been close to half a year since September last year, while the time of beijing Guoan's arrears has been more than half a year, in fact, as early as last summer, there have been reports that Beijing Guoan has been in arrears of wages for up to four months.
As Song Chengliang said, these three giant clubs have sent a number of international footballers to the national football team. Take the national football match against Australia in September last year as an example, when the starting list included three Evergrande players such as Axon, Zhang Linpeng and Jiang Guangtai, as well as Yu Dabao and Zhang Xizhe, two guoan players, and the captain Wu Xi was from Shanghai Shenhua. That is to say, in that game, most of the starting lineup of the national football team was actually suffering from unpaid wages.
However, it is slightly gratifying that Song Chengliang said that the national football team has not actually been affected too much by the salary arrears: "The phenomenon of not paying money, from the first game of the top twelve, the international footballers who should face it have long been faced, and the carefree have always been carefree, they have also played six games seriously to get 5 points, so now it is necessary to use not paying Li Xiaopeng's possible four consecutive defeats to pave the way for public opinion in advance. What's more, these international footballers have already earned a lifetime of money from ordinary people in recent years, and they will not work hard because they are not facing money, which is a matter of Brazilian talent. ”
