When the players are generally suffering from unpaid wages, it is difficult to imagine how much combat strength such a team has left, which is the current situation of Chinese football. According to football newspaper, only 9 of the final 25 international footballers who participated in the round of 12 did not owe wages, namely Xu Xin and 7 others from Taishan, and Wang Shenchao and Yan Junling from SIPG.
As we all know, the national football team was officially taken over by Li Xiaopeng after Li Tie left class and participated in the last four round of 12 matches. In the case of the outgoing decision, the national football team did not show any appearance of fighting for honor, on the contrary, it also suffered a humiliating rout. The losses to Vietnam and Oman were the first time in history that the national football team lost to its opponents in a formal competition. After the game, the poor performance of the national football team was also fiercely criticized by domestic fans and media, and the focus of criticism was mainly on the fighting spirit and spiritual style. However, perhaps few people know exactly what happened to these internationals in the past year.
Due to the impact of the epidemic and the retreat of real estate football, teams with real estate backgrounds in the Chinese Super League have suffered a serious economic crisis. Including Evergrande, Shenhua, Hebei, Guoan, Shenzhen, Guangzhou City and other teams, have been hit to varying degrees, so players also generally suffer from wage arrears, and it is a long-term, large-scale salary arrears. In fact, the national football team had already suffered from unpaid wages when Li Tie took over last year, but because there was still hope for the top 12 at that time, the international footballers fought for national honors, and there were not too many problems in fighting spirit. But with the complete lack of hope of qualifying from the round of 12, the internationals have completely lost their fighting spirit.
According to Football News, of the 25 internationals who previously participated in the round of 12, only 7 internationals from Taishan (Wang Dalei, Xu Xin, Jin Jingdao, Liu Yang, Liu Binbin, Zheng Zheng, Ji Xiang) and 2 internationals from SIPG (Yan Junling and Wang Shenchao) did not suffer from unpaid wages. Moreover, a major feature of the international football players' salary arrears is that the amount of wage arrears is still relatively large, which makes it more difficult to solve the wage arrears.
For the situation that the national football team generally encounters unpaid wages, some fans sighed: 9 people do not owe wages, which is not enough to make up a set of starts. It is conceivable that such a national football team can play what content can be played in the round of 12. It can even be said that in the case of widespread unpaid wages, it is entirely possible that they will not contribute to the work. After all, once you are injured in the national team, it will affect your future home.
Therefore, the biggest problem in Chinese football is already in front of us, that is, how to solve the salary arrears, how to let domestic players play football in a stable environment and devote themselves to football wholeheartedly. To solve these problems, the FA has an unshirkable responsibility.
