The Chinese Super League not only bid farewell to Jin Yuan, but now it is in extreme poverty, in addition to Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Harbor, the remaining clubs have more or less some unpaid wages, Guangzhou, Hebei, Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic three teams even to the point of not surviving. This means that it will be difficult for the Chinese Super League to find good foreign aid in the future, and the AFC Champions League has sent a new schedule of the New Year's Eve system that further liberalizes foreign aid and aligns with Europe.
The latest news from the AFC official, the AFC Champions League from the 2023-24 season, the number of foreign aid increased from 3 +1 to 5 +1, that is, 5 foreign aid + 1 Foreign Aid, and the format was also changed to a New Year's Eve system that is in line with Europe, that is, the autumn began and ended the following summer.
Personal opinion: The AFC further relaxed the foreign assistance restrictions of the AFC Champions League in order to further enhance the excitement of the AFC Champions League and thus enhance the influence of the event. At the same time, more foreign aid can further promote the progress of Asian players. The New Year's Eve system is a trend in world football, because the Europa League is the center of world football, and the New Year's Eve system is conducive to connecting with the transfer window in Europe, which can better enhance the convenience of league signings.
Next, it depends on whether the Chinese Football Association follows or not? If the number of foreign aid places is not followed, the future Chinese Super League teams will be "fat beaten" rhythm in the AFC Champions League; if followed up, with the current environment of Chinese Super League clubs, it is difficult to get 5+1 foreign aid quotas together. The J League and the K League will most likely follow, and more foreign aid will enter the Japanese and Korean leagues in the future, and domestic players will be further driven and grown. Chinese football has reached another crossroads, so how will the Chinese Football Association respond to the AFC's reform of the AFC Champions League?
