With the repeated defeats of the national team, the national football team has suffered more and more blows. First of all, the financial difficulties, the Beginning of large-scale wage arrears in the Chinese Super League, coupled with the issuance of salary restrictions, the development of the national football team has entered an unprecedented depressed scene. In the Chinese Super League, it can be seen that the current domestic professional league has been dead, many players have begun to retreat, because there is really no future, even if they win the championship, there is no good development, the Guangzhou team cap annual salary is only 600,000, and the Jiangsu team that has won the Chinese Super League championship can also be disbanded. To pursue no pursuit, to pay no salary, such a big environment, it is really difficult to make people have a fighting spirit.
In the past Chinese Super League venues, before each new season, the national football team was the focus of public and media attention. A certain club is expected to pay a high salary to bring in reinforcements, who has spent tens of millions of dollars and renewed a certain international footballer, whose value has jumped to hundreds of millions, and so on. However, from 2021 onwards, the heat of the Chinese Super League transfer venue began to slump, and the news of large-scale club wage arrears was overwhelming, the major financial shareholders announced their withdrawal, and the players asked for salaries. This series of negative public opinion has made fans unable to raise any expectations for the new season, and it is really "don't look at it." ”
China's local professional league has always been the spiritual sustenance of Chinese fans, and only through the league can everyone see the hope of national football revival. When the economy was depressed in 2021, there were still many players who said that they could not give up, even if there was no income, everyone was gritting their teeth and insisting, and they still had the determination to do something more difficult to show the fans and investors to see. Nowadays, many players have begun to be discouraged, not only 30-year-old veterans, but even 20-year-old players have come up with the idea of retiring. The people who remained also had no morale and were absent-minded.
In such an environment as the national football team, it seems that "mixed days" has become a very normal thing. After all, there is not even the most basic salary guarantee, everything is empty talk, in such an industry atmosphere, it is really difficult for players to regain confidence. A few days ago, Guangzhou has announced that many players are preparing to retire, and former international center-back Mei Fang, who is only 32 years old, has officially announced his farewell to the green stadium. According to Mei Fang himself, he announced his retirement because of his injury. But everyone knows that he is forced by the pressure of survival and disappointed in the Chinese Super League.
At present, there is not only Mei Fang who is planning to retire in football, the 41-year-old veteran captain Zheng Zhi has revealed the news that he will retire, and the 34-year-old Huang Bowen also intends to retire and transform into a coach, and their decision is just a microcosm of the national football environment. For players who play in the league, choosing to retire now is better than not seeing the future mentality collapse. So next, there should be a large number of international footballers like Huang Bowen bidding farewell to the Chinese Super League in the form of retirement.
