Usually rarely paid attention to Is it wrong for fans to ask for results from women's football? To get a high salary is to bear the expectation

Following the World Cup commentary on the online platform, Bai Yansong, a famous media person of the Women's World Cup, also appeared again on another major online platform to comment.

During the game, Mr. Bai mentioned what he thought was the current situation of women's football:

"The day before yesterday in Australia, the first match was played in Australia, and last year's Champions League women's semi-final Barça vs Wolfsburg, with more than 91,500 people, which is a record-breaking. This year, our women's super league has an average audience of more than 1,000 and a round of more than 700, and the women's football team is almost rarely paid attention to, and as soon as it arrives at the competition, it asks the women's football team for results, and the women's football team always gives us results, and today I will be a little embarrassed. ”

After the game, Mr. Bai cheered up the women's football girl.

"I'm not cheering for the Chinese women's football team, not even for this World Cup. It is for the future Chinese women's football team to have a better environment and a better way to live. Football people themselves are trying, trying to balance attack and defense, trying not to play in a hard way. In the past, even if I won the game, I felt bitter, whether it was guarding, it was difficult, and even measured by spirit. But did you feel the pain in the first half of this game? For the first time, we felt very comfortable watching high-level games, so I felt hopeful. Whether you win the next game or not is not the most important thing, I hope the Chinese women's football team wins itself. ”

As soon as these two paragraphs came out, they quickly aroused heated discussions; There are those who support Mr. Bai's views, but there are also many people who dare not agree, which raises a huge question - are the fans wrong to ask the Chinese women's football team for results?

In fact, the public opinion environment facing the Chinese women's football team has always been relatively special. It is true that not many people pay attention to women's football, and for public opinion, the value of Chinese women's football is often to mock the Chinese men's football.

The men's football kicks stink, and the women's football team is used to taunt the men's team. Women's football plays well, using women's football to taunt men's football. In addition, there are often calls for better treatment of women's football, and many people still think that women's football is not treated well.

Objectively speaking, the treatment of the Chinese men's football team is indeed much better than that of the Chinese women's football team, but the performance of the Chinese men's football team is far inferior to the Chinese women's football team.

But the reason why Chinese male football players are treated much better than female football players is determined by the market; The Chinese Super League is the most professional league in China, and athletes can move freely in the league, and once good players are competed for, they are often the most expensive. And the women's super league is difficult to call it a professional league in terms of size, operation, and even professional league. But even so, the salaries of Chinese female football players are among the best in the world!

In the past few years, because of factors such as "Alipay's 10-year special fund of 1 billion yuan", "men's football clubs jointly building women's football clubs have been written into the access regulations of the Chinese Super League", and various places have always been more supportive of women's football, which has gradually increased the size of the team of the Chinese Women's Football League, and the clubs that can play in the Women's Super League are basically not bad money.

A few years ago, FIFA's Women's Development Report mentioned that in 2018 and 19, our Women's Super League had the highest operating expenditure in the world, with an average annual expenditure of US$2 million per club, and about 70% of the expenditure was paid to players. After the epidemic, although the Chinese Super League, China A and China B have been devastated, the Women's Super League can still operate stably.

At the beginning of 2022, after the Chinese women's football team won the Asian Cup, some domestic media made statistics; It is no problem for women's international football players to earn more than one million a year, and the top women's football international players have an annual income of more than 2 million! The Women's Super League has already invested more than 40 million from more than one club. At that time, the domestic media also compared the Japanese women's football team horizontally, and the number of the highest paid players in the Japanese women's football team was converted into RMB, less than 1 million before tax. And in March this year, the Sun newspaper announced the nine highest-paid players in women's football in the world. At £417,000, Sam Cole of Chelsea Women, and No. 9 is Christine Sinclair, who plays for Portland Thorns in Major League League, with an annual salary of £317,000. In addition, the average annual salary of the Premier League Women's Super League is only 47,000 pounds.

The world's highest-paid female football player has an annual salary of less than 4 million yuan, the world's 9th paid female football player, the annual salary is less than 3 million, and the average annual salary of the Premier League women's football team is only 430,000 yuan. However, the Chinese women's football team has many players with an annual income of more than 2 million, and the lowest annual income of the whole team can exceed one million. This shows that the income level of Chinese female football players is the top in the world. Shouldn't we expect more from these players with the world's top salaries on the field?

What's more, the Chinese women's football team is a champion in Asia and a frequent visitor on the international stage! Obviously, our requirements for the Chinese women's football team cannot be as low as the requirements for the Chinese men's football team; If a regular participant who has participated in the World Cup and the Olympic Games all year round has no achievements on the international stage, what is the difference between the Chinese women's football team and the fish belly troops such as Vietnam and the Philippines that can enter the World Cup after expansion?

Because of the foil of the men's football team, public opinion will never scold the Chinese women's football team for high salary and low ability; Because of the foil of the men's team, public opinion is tolerant enough for the women's team.

If you can accept that people who usually don't look at the Chinese Super League at all and don't pay attention to Chinese football will come out to point fingers after the men's national team match, then you should be able to accept that fans find the honorary division of women's football to ask for results in the competition!
