If there is anyone who has the strongest ability to attract money in the current Chinese Super League, it must be Oscar, and Oscar is the luckiest person in Chinese football. In the 7 years since joining the Chinese Super League, Oscar has earned 168 million euros from Shanghai SIPG, equivalent to 1.32 billion yuan, such a huge income is unprecedented, and there is certainly no one to come, but in the context of the overall recession of Chinese football, Oscar's income is particularly dazzling.
1. When he first entered the Chinese Super League, Oscar was a laughing stock in football
In 2016, the competition in the Chinese Super League entered a white-hot stage, and major clubs did not hesitate to bring in heavy players from Europe and America, with stars such as Shenhua Tevez, Kwon Jian Pato, Witsel and Evergrande Paulinho all moving to China for huge transfer fees, and their income also started at 10 million euros. In order to win the Chinese Super League championship as soon as possible, SIPG introduced Hulk and Oscar at a sky-high price. Unlike players like Conca, Hulk and Paulinho, who have not played in the top five leagues, Oscar was a second-tier player for Chelsea at the time, and also participated in the 2014 World Cup with Brazil, and has the nickname of Kaka Jr. So when Oscar joined the Chinese Super League, the mainstream voice in football thought that he gave up football for money.
But soon, the people stopped laughing.
2. The sky-high annual salary opens a new door for European players
At the end of December 2016, Oscar joined SIPG, with an annual salary of 21.1 million euros, many people who used to laugh at Oscar can't wait to become Oscar, because this annual salary ranks among the top ten in football, except for Messi, Ronaldo, and Neymar, the other top ten players basically earn about 20 million euros.
When the news broke, many players who could not be the main players in European football have surrendered their eyes to the Chinese Super League, such as Mascherano, Witsel, Carrasco, Shaarawy, etc., all of whom got their wishes and received sky-high annual salaries, and then enjoyed their retirement in peace.
Why is the Oscar the luckiest? Because the contract was originally renewed at the end of 2020, but Oscar suddenly advanced the renewal to 2019 and renewed the contract for five years with an annual salary of 24 million euros.
3. What Oscar brought to SIPG and Chinese football
For SIPG fans, Oscar brought two Chinese Super League championships to the team, anyway, the money came out of SIPG Group, and the fans enjoyed the joy of winning the championship. But for Chinese football, the tide has receded, a large number of teams are swimming naked, and the national football team has become not pure at all after the impact of Jinyuan football, and it has been losing in Asia.
At the beginning, Brother Belt and Brother Wharf swore that high-level foreign aid can improve the economic level of Chinese Super League players, but now Brother Belt and Brother Wharf are all famous, but they don't see Wan Muchun in front of the national football disease.
