I believe many fans know that in the past decade, playing football is very profitable. Since the beginning of the Golden Age, our club has received more capital support, began to frantically buy big-name foreign aid and big-name foreign coaches, and then constantly upgraded the inner roll every year, began to pile up internationals, and then finally began to pile up excellent young players. The good thing is that our local players have also improved significantly, and any international player can easily get tens of millions of annual salaries, and the transfer fee is also hundreds of millions of dollars per minute. And good young players can at least get a million annual salaries. It can be said that playing football at that time was like mining, really making money.
But such a crazy burning of money is doomed to not last long, which company will put almost all of the annual profits on the football, and so many years also pay salaries. Therefore, at the beginning of the 2020 season, the golden dollar of Chinese football began to recede, and many companies began to fall into financial difficulties, and even capital ruptures. Many teams in the lower leagues are directly disbanded, and the Chinese Super League, as a top league, has a large area of unpaid wages. For example, last season, only two teams did not have wage arrears, namely Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Haigang, and other teams have wage arrears, even more than a year. Tianjin Jinmen Tigers and Chongqing Liangjiang Athletic Team even almost disbanded.
The whole industry is in a slump, so our players have quickly become the first victims of the end of the Golden Age from the beneficiaries of the Golden Age, and most of the players have not been able to get their salaries in time, and there have been different degrees of difficulties. As the most popular and sought-after international footballer in the market before, there have also been certain difficulties. For example, in the past, international football players were basically poached by other teams, salaries could be increased, and transfer fees were not cheap. And now the international team is underpaid in the team, want to change a team, but few teams can come up with more money to introduce the international team and pay the international footballer, because in addition to the two giants and 4 promotion horses other teams are not having a good life, so once the international team gets free, finding a job is not a simple thing.
For example, the most typical example is the midfield core of the current national team, the 35-year-old captain of the national football team, Arthur Junmin, who joined Wuhan from Shandong Taishan in the middle of last season. However, after the end of the season, Arthur Junmin also openly asked for salary online, becoming the first national football captain to openly ask for salary, which actually explains the current harsh domestic environment, and also attracted strong attention from the media and fans. And it was also such an open salary solicitation that led to the final free departure of Arthur Junmin. However, what people did not expect was that Arthur Junmin's next home has not been solved. According to media reports, Arthur Junmin wants to take a break, after more than a year of closed competition, physically and mentally exhausted. However, in terms of the status and level of Arthur Junmin, it is difficult for the average team and the low annual salary to let him join. This is actually a problem faced by Arthur Junmin.
At present, Arthur Junmin is not the only one who has encountered such a dilemma. Just in the left rear position of the major general, which is generally lacking in the national football team and the Chinese Super League team, there is a powerful international footballer who also faces the same problem. Because of the months of arrears and the huge amount of money, he was given free reincarnation. But what surprised everyone was that he, like Arthur Junmin, who should have been very sought-after, did not sign any team, which meant that he would not qualify for the first stage of the Chinese Super League in the new season. He is dalian's international left guard, Li Shuai.
At the end of last month, the Arbitration Commission of the Chinese Football Association, after a careful trial, rendered a judgment on the free body requests made by a number of players, according to The Football Daily. Among them, Li Shuai was given a free body. Li Shuai was able to obtain free reins because the club owed more than half a year's salary, and the amount of salary arrears was large. It should be known that Li Shuai has performed very well in Dalian in recent years, especially when Carrasco was in the team, he played well on the left side and was also selected for the national team many times. And from the perspective of the personnel reserve of this position, Li Shuai is likely to become the main left defender of the national team in the future. Therefore, according to the reason, Li Shuai should be a sought-after commodity in the transfer market. But the result was to become a free agent.
In fact, the reason why these internationals have no games to play is very simple, that is, the whole market really has no money. Also because there is no money, good players really dare not buy, and can not afford to buy, so it has also caused the waste of today's international football resources. Now we can only hope that the epidemic will end quickly, the Chinese football market will recover quickly, and if it continues, it will not only be Arthur Junmin and Li Shuai. What do you think?
