At 1:10 p.m. Beijing time on April 27, another men's football team announced its withdrawal from the professional league of the new season. It is reported that the announcement of the withdrawal of Shanxi Longjin Football Club in the Chinese Second League is the same. Coupled with the previous withdrawals of Qingdao, Guizhou and Kunming Zhenghe Shipwrights, there have been four professional teams at various levels of the league this season who have opted out and not participated in the league in the new season.
It is reported that the reasons for the withdrawal of Shanxi Longjin Football Club are as follows:
1. The team does not owe wages, but there is a problem with the team's capital chain, and the club used the only 3 million yuan in the account last season for the team's salary payment;
2. The team is helpless, and has now obtained the admission qualification of the Chinese Football Association, but the club has no money and cannot pay the 600,000 yuan participation deposit required by the Football Association on time;
3. The Football Association promised to help the team solve the arrears of related fees and ensure the normal participation of the team, but in the end it was not implemented; the team was very injured, and no one gave help when the team needed a paper guarantee from the Shanxi Football Association.
That is to say, Shanxi Longjin Football Club chose to withdraw after all kinds of efforts and really did not get the help of the Football Association. This makes fans feel strange, after all, the Shanxi Football Association only needs to guarantee the participation of local clubs to save a team that cannot participate. However, because of the 600,000 yuan participation deposit, the Shanxi Football Association abandoned the club and did not give help.
Last year, Zhou Lin, the head coach of Shanxi Longjin Football Club, said in an interview that the team's salary is not high, the top salary players in the team are only 15,000 yuan per month, and there are only 3 people, and the monthly salary of the rest of the players is no different from that of ordinary office workers. Moreover, under the condition of such a basic salary, the team has also received 150 resumes to join. It can be seen that the bottom players of Chinese football are not having a good life.
The dissolution of Shanxi Longjin Football Club this time, the Chinese Football Association and the Shanxi Football Association should be responsible for this. Obviously, it was his own local team, but he was embarrassed by the 600,000 participation deposit proposed by the Football Association. Moreover, this is a club without the problem of unpaid wages, which is much better than most teams in the Chinese Super League, China First Division and China Second Division, but the result is still not guaranteed by the Shanxi Football Association.
The FA's 600,000 yuan deposit is to ensure that the participating teams will not quit halfway. However, for a team that wants to play, the team can only opt out without 600,000. This goes against the original intention of the professional league, after all, the rules formulated by the Football Association are to ensure that the team can participate, rather than forcing the team to choose to quit. I have to say that the Chinese Football Association's 600,000 yuan margin policy is really a wrong decision, divorced from the actual situation.
