This summer, there have not been many big transfers for Chinese Super League teams. Limited by the restrictions of the new foreign aid policy, the Chinese Super League team can be described as eight immortals crossing the sea when introducing reinforcements. During this period, German superstar Podolski also had a scandal with the Chinese Super League, but the strict Germans decisively rejected the Chinese Super League after a wave of negotiations, and then switched to the Japanese J-League Kobe Victory Ship.
Podolski joins the Kobe Victory Ship
Podolski is a German meritorious player who has participated in several World Series with the Germanic Chariot and won the 2016 World Cup for the team. He has a good popularity in China and even in Asia. This rejection of the Chinese Super League has indeed made many Chinese fans slightly regretful.

But what makes Chinese fans feel even more faceless is that Podolski complained about a handful of Chinese football after transferring to Japan. "The €15 million to €20 million they offered me was really attractive, but it ended up being a lot less, involving a lot of grey names. They sent people to negotiate with me, and there were 8 or 9 brokers at the same time, which I thought was almost a crime. ”。 In Podolski's view, the gap between Chinese and Japanese football is like night and day.

Because of this, Porty finally chose the Japanese league with a lower salary. Of course, the lower salaries here are only compared to the Chinese Super League teams. In order to bring the German veteran to the J-League, Kobe Victory Ship spent 327 million yen in transfer fees. Podolski's annual salary in Japan is as high as 8 million euros + bonus, and he can get up to 20 million euros in a 2-and-a-half-year contract, which has become the highest salary in the J League.
Podolski, who has the top salary in the J League, made his debut really strong. In his first game in the J-League, Podolski scored two goals to help the team beat rival Omiya Squirrels 3-1, setting the stage for the team's victory.

Just when everyone thought that Polty would lead the Kobe victory ship forward to compete for AFC Champions League qualification, in the next four league games, Porty was countless, and even two games were replaced early. The Kobe Victory Ship also only achieved a record of 1 draw and 3 defeats, and now only ranks 11th in the J League.

Looking back now, when Podolski chose to join the Chinese Super League, he would get more annual salary. But with his current competitive form, he is likely to be the next Tevez. The "non-professional" Chinese Super League does not need a mouth cannon. Look at Paulinho, who also relied on the "socialist transformation" in the Chinese Super League to successfully capture the heart of La Liga giants Barca!
