As we all know, football is the world's largest sport and the most popular competitive sport in the world. It is precisely because the audience is so wide that its commercial value is very large, and football has become the most commercialized sport. The popularity of the annual World Cup has even surpassed that of the Olympic Games, a comprehensive event, and it can be said that football has a charm that is difficult to match in other sports.
It is precisely because of the popularity of football, so as a football practitioner is also deeply benefited, compared to other sports, the material return of football to individuals is huge. For example, C Luo, his weekly salary can be as high as 510,000 pounds, which is astronomical for many ordinary people. Of course, if you are not a superstar, the salary will not be so high, but you will also earn more than the ordinary industry. That's why there are so many kids in The Brazilian slum who love to play football, because playing football can really change their destiny.
The same is true of Chinese football, which is not high-level, and the salaries of players are also very high. For example, in the past 10 years of the Golden Dollar Era, our international footballer's annual salary can be at least tens of millions, and the transfer fee is also hundreds of millions of dollars per minute. At its peak, potential rising stars who are not on the first team can also get millions of annual salaries. As you can imagine, football is a lot of gold.
But we also have to be clear that a player who goes down the path of football needs to sacrifice a lot at a very young age. The first is time, because to train, you may not be able to keep up with your studies at all, and you will not be able to go on the road of learning. The second is money, which costs a lot of money to receive professional football training, and this figure is estimated to be difficult for the average family to afford. And even if you pay the time and money, you are in danger of being eliminated at any time. So choosing to play soccer is actually high risk first, and then high reward. And a player's career is just over a decade, and he also faces frequent injuries or even fractures, which may affect the second half of his life. So the player's pursuit of a high salary is also understandable.
Of course, in the past decade, there has been a serious bubble in the salaries of our players, which is a lot of inflated ingredients, which has also caused dissatisfaction among some fans, because the ability and income are not matched. But now the golden age of our league is over. So the salary should return to a rational and reasonable state. Unfortunately not all clubs are willing to do this, so we've seen a large number of players this season suffer from unpaid wages, even more than a year, and the players have become victims from the beneficiaries of the league. Because the salary is too much or too low, it should be considered abnormal.
And one of the teams made a very extreme operation, they were the initiators of the Golden Age, Guangzhou. At that time, guangzhou team was the first to spend a lot of money to hire big-name foreign aid and big-name foreign teachers, and it was also the first to spend a lot of money to dig up international football players to hoard good players. Through this kind of money-throwing at any cost, they smashed themselves into the eight champions of the Chinese Super League and the double champions of the AFC Champions League. But even after the end of the Golden Age, they went to the other extreme, that is, to reduce their salaries too low. The salary of guangzhou team in the new season is only 600,000 yuan, and it is limited to only 3 people at most. Such a salary structure can be said to be basically difficult for mature professional players to accept. But because Evergrande now has many good players, and not all players can quickly find their next home, so many players are facing such a choice. Either accept a pay cut to play the game, or don't accept being hidden in the snow.
So something that made us feel sorry happened. In the newly announced registration list of the Guangzhou team, there is one very talented player's name missing, that is, Zhang Xiuwei. Zhang Xiuwei in 96, because his appearance and style of play are very similar to Real Madrid's midfield core Modric, so many fans have given him a nickname, called the Chinese Magic Flute. He is not only the core midfielder of the 95 national youth, but also stayed in the Ocean when he was young, joining Ligue 1 giants Lyon. Later, in the Jin Yuan era, he was poached by tianjin Quanjian and was deeply valued by the then head coach Cannavaro, becoming one of the team's most dazzling midfielders. After Cannavaro left Quan Jian to join the Guangzhou team, Zhang Xiuwei also went to the Guangzhou team. Last season, Zhang Xiuwei performed very well in the league, he ran tirelessly, he ghostly interspersed with running positions and imaginative straight plugs, all of which were impressive. It can also be seen that his state is recovering and rising.
However, at this time, the team changed its policy, Zhang Xiuwei also had to face the option of salary reduction, and because of the existence of several better players, he was likely not even to get an annual salary of 600,000. This also made the Chinese magic flute with higher expectations for himself unacceptable, so he chose to refuse. The price of refusal is to register for the new season without registration. This means that Zhang Xiuwei may not be able to qualify for the new season of the league, of course, if there is a team willing to buy him at a high price, he can also be relieved. But judging by the current situation of the teams, it is still difficult.
In the face of such a dilemma, Zhang Xiuwei also responded, saying on social media: "Tomorrow's sun will rise as usual, and everyone must work hard to catch up with the self who has high hopes." It can be seen that Zhang Xiuwei finally followed his inner choice. Do you think it will be a pity that Zhang Xiuwei is absent from the Chinese Super League in the new season? If he can get a transfer, which team do you think he will go to? Friends are welcome to discuss together in the comment area!
