A few days ago, according to domestic media, the foreign aid policy of the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League in the new season is likely to be fine-tuned. First of all, the number of foreign players playing at the same time in the Chinese Super League will increase from the previous 4 to 5. The number of foreign players playing at the same time in the Chinese League has been adjusted from the previous 2 to 3. If the number of foreign players in the Chinese Super League is adjusted to 5 foreign starters, this will be a major test and challenge for local players. Because, five foreign players occupy the team's starting line-up, and in addition to the goalkeeper, there are only five positions left for local players to compete for.
Many fans feel that with the Football Association adjusting the number of foreign players, the good days of local players have come to an end. Previously, in order to protect local players, the Football Association used to only allow three foreign players for each team in the Chinese Super League, in order to give them more starts. The Football Association originally thought that by limiting the number of foreign players starting in the Chinese Super League, the level and ability of local players could be significantly improved, so that the national team could smoothly enter the World Cup.
However, after the Football Association implemented the policy of three foreign aid starters, the level of local players basically did not rise but declined. Local players did not have foreign aid to compete for the game, so they directly chose to lie flat, which led to a significant decline in the national team's record. Song Kai, the new head of the Football Association, quickly realized this and simply adjusted the starting quota of foreign aid in the Chinese Super League to five, in order to stimulate the sense of competition of local players.
In addition, from the perspective of fans, the increase in the number of foreign aid places will also make the Chinese Super League more enjoyable. In recent years, the Chinese Super League has faded with the wave of Jinyuan football, and the level of competition has shown a downward trend year by year, and its competitiveness in Asia has become very limited. This can be seen from the fact that the Chinese Super League team participated in the AFC Champions League this season, and only Luneng broke through from the group stage to advance to the round of 16. Many fans said that the individual games of the Chinese Super League were too poor to watch, which made them feel drowsy. Therefore, after the introduction of the first policy of foreign aid, it is expected that the above problems will be solved.
Of course, from the perspective of the operation of Chinese Super League clubs, it is conditional to send five foreign aid starters. After all, the value and annual salary of foreign aid are not low, except for SIPG, Luneng, Shenhua, the financial resources of the traditional giants of the Chinese Super League can support the five foreign aid starters, other Chinese Super League teams may not be able to afford the expenses of the five foreign aid starters. On the whole, Song Kai, the new head of the Football Association, adjusted the number of foreign starters in the Chinese Super League from 4 to 5, which still has more advantages than disadvantages. In this case, local players must work harder in training to be able to overpower foreign starters. I look forward to next season's Chinese Super League becoming more beautiful and bringing fans a truly long-lost football feast.
