After the Chinese Football Association announced the third salary cut, domestic players also ushered in a tide of retirement. Especially a big international player like Guangzhou Evergrande. Previously, former international Huang Bowen has decided to retire and join the U17 national team as a trainer. In recent days, former international Mei Fang also suddenly announced his retirement. You must know that Mei Fang is only 32 years old this year, and he is still the year of the fight. But under the dual pressure of injury and salary cuts, he still decided to retire.
As the first club to announce a sharp salary cut, Guangzhou Evergrande has made a decisive decision. According to their previously announced salary reduction plan, the team's maximum annual salary will not exceed 600,000. And can get 600,000 players, only 3 places. Other players will receive an annual salary that will be significantly lower than this figure.
This kind of cliff-like salary reduction is indeed not worth mentioning for international footballers who are accustomed to tens of millions of annual salaries. Therefore, in the case of unprofitable situations, decommissioning is obviously the most appropriate option. However, for retired internationals, although they have said goodbye to their careers, it does not mean that they have bid farewell to the football circle. For example, Huang Bowen, he has joined the coaching staff of the U17 national team and is a trainer!
Although the Football Association has not announced his specific annual salary, it will certainly not be lower than the salary amount at Evergrande. After all, the FA has money, and the treatment it provides is not comparable to that of ordinary clubs, especially in the last one or two years. The special plane for the competition package, eating and living must be a five-star hotel. Entering the national team as a trainer is far more refreshing than playing in Evergrande with a basic salary.
In fact, over the years, Chinese football has become worse and worse, which also has a lot to do with this selection model. After many players retired, they became coaches and taught people how to play football. Even they themselves do not understand the whole game of playing, can they educate young players? A group of losers is destined to educate only a new group of losers. In this regard, the fighting spirit and spiritual attributes of the national football team are the best examples, almost from generation to generation.
For the Football Association, since there is a wallet machine, there is money to invite up to 20 people of the coaching team, why not spend the money on foreign youth coaches? Finding retired players, especially those who have failed in themselves, as youth coaches is doomed to fail to make Chinese football stand up.
