According to sports commentator Wang Tao on social media, the China trip to Barcelona and Bayern Munich, which was originally scheduled for this summer, has basically been canceled. This news has attracted widespread attention in the football world, because it not only involves the schedules of the two big clubs, but also exposes the current situation facing Chinese football.
Wang Tao pointed out that the main reason why Barcelona and Bayern Munich could not come to China was the hesitation of the Chinese Football Association to approve it, as well as the hosting capacity and capital investment of Chinese cities. Even when Bayern Munich said they were willing to pay out of their own pockets to come to China to play, they were still unable to obtain the necessary approvals. According to Wang Tao's revelations, which also triggered complaints from the German Football Association and FIFA, how could the Chinese Football Association be so closed?
At the same time, Wang Tao also mentioned that due to the current uncertainty and risks, at least four brands have decided to cancel their future cooperation plans with overseas stars and teams. In addition, at least five of the stars had planned to come to China to open football schools, but now have to cancel the plan. This series of cancellations and changes reflects the impact of China's football environment on external cooperation.
Regarding this situation, although some fans said "It's good, the football desert is not bad with this loess", showing their helplessness and acceptance of the current Chinese football environment. However, this attitude also reflects the urgent need for opening up and reform of Chinese football in order to attract more international resources and experience and promote the development of Chinese football.
It has to be said that the cancellation of the China trip of Barcelona and Bayern Munich is not only a single incident, but also exposes the deeper problems faced by Chinese football. From the approval mechanism of the Football Association to the attitude of opening up to the outside world, it is necessary to reflect and improve in order to bring a broader space for the development of Chinese football.
