In the past two years, the development of Chinese football has suffered an unprecedented blow, and the Chinese men's football team has become more and more depressed with the financial collapse of the Chinese Super League, the difficulty of developing the league, and the repeated defeats of the national team. Recently, according to the well-known football journalist Jia Yanfeng, many players are currently discouraged and retreat because of the problem of salary arrears; and the players who remain are also demoralized and cannot see hope.
Jia Yanfeng said: "In 2021, in the case of serious wage arrears in a large area... At that time, chatting with the players, everyone felt that they could not give up, because they still had to prove to investors to show the people of the country, no matter how difficult, the Chinese professional league did not give up, still working hard. But now, ask the players again, many of them have retreated, whether it is more than thirty or less than thirty, do not retreat, that is, follow the tide. ”
"The most terrible thing is that not only is it poor, but there is no fighting spirit, there is no hope, and everyone is messing around." We can't see the rewards of effort, and we can't see how much worse the consequences of not working hard are than effort. Therefore, whether it is to see a group of football school students on the field with a higher error rate than anyone, or to watch other people who are absent-minded and have no morale, it is better not to look. Since we all want to save money, isn't it the most economical to stop the league? Jia Yanfeng said.
Indeed, according to the current overall industry environment of Chinese football, "mixed days" is indeed a helpless choice. After all, in an industry where even hard work may not be paid, not even the most basic guarantees, it is bound to hit the confidence of more and more practitioners. Just like this year, more and more players who are still playing in the year have chosen to retire, a very important reason is that not only is it difficult to get a salary, but even whether the professional league can continue is currently a problem.
Just as some fans once ridiculed the men's football team now playing football is not as good as going to deliver takeaways, in the future, it is estimated that the attractiveness of Chinese football to practitioners may not be as good as delivering takeaways. After all, to do other jobs, you can get money every month, and playing football may not be paid all year round. This is a helpless reality, and it is also a microcosm of the current Chinese football environment.
