With the former national football head coach Li Tie was taken away for investigation, Liu Yi, Chen Yongliang, Chen Jiayuan, Wang Xiaoping, Huang Song, Yu Hongchen, etc. were investigated one after another, and players suspected of participating in gambling were taken away for investigation, which set off the largest wave of rectification of the national football team, in this context, the Football Association announced the list of access to all levels of leagues on March 29, with 16 teams each in the Chinese Super League, China A and China B, compared with the 18 teams at all levels last season, a total decrease of 6.
On the day of the announcement of the access list, Shaanxi Athletic announced the dissolution of Shaanxi Athletic, Guangzhou City Club announced the suspension of operations, in such a difficult environment, whether the new season can be on the right track, whether Chinese football can usher in changes, can only wait and see.
Football reform has been mentioned for nearly 20 years, and now it has become a chicken feather, and the editor will analyze it from four perspectives:
1. Managers
The Chinese Football Association (FA), as the administrator of Chinese football, is the most criticized existence by Chinese people and fans
On August 17, 2015, the Chinese Football Association was decoupled from the General Administration of Sports, operated independently in accordance with the law, and had autonomy in internal institutional setup, work plan formulation, financial and salary management, personnel management, and international professional exchanges
The structure of these two systems is obviously unable to meet the requirements of marketization, but instead produces a large number of black box operations, corruption and bloated institutions. In the era of planning sports sports teams, for the championship gold medal national efforts to develop elite sports has indeed achieved rapid development, but with the development of the times obviously no need to use gold medals to prove themselves, football as the earliest league market-oriented operation of the project, management thinking and structure is still old, put is a great self-revolution, put is not to do a good job of top-level design, formulate strict rules, put is a kind of courage and determination, unfortunately do not see this determination now
At the level of managers, there are also provincial football associations, and one joke heard is that there are more managers of all kinds than registered players. The provincial football association proposed to cut it, some people may feel extreme, but they really do not feel their role in the development of football, but because of the multi-level management and assessment people are at a loss, last year's Guangdong Provincial Games U15 match-fixing incident exposed football into a tool for cities, clubs, football schools, sports bureaus, football associations, and the meaning of football itself has long been gone, perhaps only by separating this sport from the assessment performance of various local government sports bureaus, can it return to football itself.
The reform of managers is the most fundamental, the most difficult and the slowest, but whether or not we can go in a good direction is of the greatest significance.
II. Leagues
China's professional football league has experienced nearly 30 years since 1994, during which it is full of various match-fixing storms, there has been the glory of Jinyuan football and there are many clubs with salary arrears, after three years of difficult things of the epidemic, whether you can get on the right track in the new season, whether to sit and wait or take the initiative is very important.
The league is a piece of cake, how to make this cake bigger is what the Chinese Super League needs to consider, if you think about black box operations, match-fixing gambling, the result is that the league stinks and no one looks at it, and the sponsor runs away.
Modern football has become more and more mature, and the operation of various leagues, including the five major leagues, can be borrowed, but the first thing is a fair, just and open platform environment.
The league is also to operate publicity, and I specially went to see the official accounts of the five major leagues in China
Including the official number of the Chinese Super League on other platforms are very reserved, the latest released works or last November, whether it is the number of fans or the number of broadcasts is not a level, it is really others who are so strong and work so hard, whether they think about the league well can be felt.
3. Clubs
The club is the most important existence of football professionalization, the growth of the club is a long-term process, a process of cultural formation, domestic clubs in this regard are relatively few, many owners engage in clubs for fun, or as a tool for advertising for the company or as a money laundering tool, of course, such clubs will definitely not go far and can not form their own culture
The success of the club is not as simple as throwing money at it. Evergrande achieved a temporary success in throwing money at that time, and was immediately beaten back to its original form when it ran out of money, this unhealthy model is destined to not last, financial balance and financial fairness are the control of the Football Association, and it is also the focus of the control of major leagues
Youth training should be the focus of clubs, some European clubs rely on youth training to earn a lot of money, relying on youth training to grow up players The strength of the club is also rising. Of course, you have to keep doing it for a long time.
4. Players
Players are direct participants in football, but Chinese football (men's football) has developed to the point that few can be called by name, the most famous martial arts king, and then sea cucumber? Alas, the players have endured a lot of stigma, but competitive sports cuisine is the original sin, the dish is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is not to see the hard work. Of course, it is the individual players who do not work hard, the lack of influence on the image of the entire men's team, how to reverse can only rely on the players themselves, in the recent U20 players performance is still good, although the final loss but the fans basically give praise. Many people say that the Chinese men's football team is bad because there are fewer fans playing football, which is obviously wrong, there are many fans in China, and the stadium was full in the previous league, but the fans were injured too much.
The problem now is that the men's team has no star players, no personality and characteristics, no benchmarks and role models, which is disastrous for the entire industry, and what is more frightening is that clubs and football associations do not want to cultivate. On social platforms, you can hardly see what male football players send after the daily training game, they may be scolded, in fact, fans are tolerant, as long as they show hard work and self-discipline and perseverance, they will be recognized.
The new season is expected to start in mid-April, how do you think Chinese football will develop, discuss in the comment area
