On April 6, Beijing time, Qin Yun exposed that it was Du Zhaocai who insisted on pushing off the Asian Cup, which caused huge losses in China.
A few days ago, we talked about Indonesia's loss of the World Youth Championships, with a direct loss of only 25 million yuan (IDR 50 billion). The 10 cities that host the Asian Cup not only built stadiums, but also paid the hosting fee. In addition, Du Zhaocai is also suspected of many problems.
In the past two years, there have been many competitions in the country. Among them, the Asian Games and Universiade have been postponed to this year, except for the cancellation of the Asian Cup. After that, the AFC was very dissatisfied, Qatar took over temporarily, and the match originally held in 2023 was postponed to 2024.
And the national football team, nothing was caught. According to the results of the World Qualifiers, they should have been awarded a place in the Asian Cup.
In addition, Qin Yun also broke the news that Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chongqing, Chengdu, Xi'an, Dalian, Qingdao, Xiamen and Suzhou, the 10 Asian Cup host cities, have paid a hosting fee (15 million for the group stage and 30 million for the knockout round).
The AFC, on the other hand, earmarked millions of dollars. After the fact, only 8 million were refunded in various places.
According to Mingji, the Chinese organizing committee for this year's Asian Cup was established as early as October 2020, and when it was dissolved two years later, there were about 60 people in it. In just two years, these sixty-odd people spent more than 50 million.
Previously, Vietnamese and Indonesian media reported that the total investment in Indonesia to host the U20 World Youth Football Championship was 25 million yuan. The money spent by the Football Association is enough for Southeast Asia to host two World Youth Championships.
Of course, such a calculation of costs is unfair to all localities. Because in many places, stadiums have been built or remodeled for the Asian Cup to meet the requirements of the AFC. Among them, Kunshan, Dalian, Chengdu, Chongqing and other places cost a lot of money. Chengdu and Dalian, as well as Chinese Super League teams. Chongqing Contemporary has been withdrawing for more than 1 year, and Kunshan FC announced its dissolution after rushing over. The new stadium in the local area has yet to be seen in the top flight.
Previously, when the Indonesian media calculated accounts for Tohir (a former Inter investor and now the head of the Indonesian Football Association), it was to include foreign managers, naturalized players and training costs.
Because, if a large competition is not held, the team will not be able to offer a high price to foreign coaches such as Shen Tailong. The same is true of the national football team, Chen Jiayuan gave Li Tie a high-salary contract early, and then gave Li Xiaopeng a contract, in order to play the Asian Cup well. But now, the two have left class one after another. The salary of the new marshal Jankovic is also not cheap.
After spending a huge amount of money, has the national football team improved? The answer is no, on the contrary, their regression is obvious. Last year, the team lost to Vietnam, ranked 99th. This year, the team lost to New Zealand, which is ranked outside the 100th place. Although these 2 matches took place on the opponent's home turf.
From the perspective of the scene and content, the gap between the national football team and the opponent is not in physical fitness, mental expression and willpower, but completely inferior to the opponent in technology.
Of course, the Football Association's confused account is not limited to this one. The seething adjustment fee has not been followed up so far. The amount of adjustment fee is more than 30 times the difference in Asian Cup.
