The Chinese Super League needs to return to itself

On July 16, Brazilian media reported that Oscar, a Brazilian player now playing for Shanghai Seaport in the Chinese Super League, may return to Brazil to join Flamingo CF. Flamingo is interested in signing Oscar and the player is open to the transfer, and negotiations between the two sides will last until January 2023.

For the current Chinese Super League, the departure of Oscar, the only world-class player, has finally brought the once so-called sixth league back to mediocrity once and for all.

For one, the prosperity of the A-League was built on the foundation of local Chinese players becoming the backbone of the league.

From 1994 to 2003, the A-A decade of China's professional soccer league basically represents the purest years of China's top professional league.

During this time, from the teams, to the players, to the fans and the media, all poured a lot of passion into Chinese soccer.

The 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, the Chinese men's soccer team's epic run to the final round, on the one hand, is the Chinese team from the draw to Milo, including all the magic, on the other hand, the most important reason is that the A-League to the national team exported the 98 golden generation of Chinese soccer.

The A-A League has become the real root of Chinese soccer. After a decade of golden yuan in the Chinese Super League, we look back and see that the A-A decade was the white era of Chinese soccer.

Two, the golden dollar decade, the biggest damage to the Chinese Super League is actually not the so-called loss of state assets, but to make Chinese players become slack, because they can make money lying down.

Oscar joined Shanghai SIP with an annual salary of 25 million euros, which rose to 26 million euros after his contract was renewed at the end of 2019, during which time Shanghai Harbor Club paid the full salary of 14,000,000 euros, which translates to 1.12 billion yuan.

Oscar is actually a representative of the super foreign aid in the Chinese Super League, from Pauling, to Capitalist, to the major naturalization of Guangzhou Ever grande, the foreign aid salary in the Chinese Super League, became the absolute head of each team's investment.

Many people believe that the biggest problem of the Chinese Super League is that it has caused a serious loss of state assets.

In fact, this view is wrong, because the pompous market has made all the receivers from sponsors to advertisers to broadcasters forget to put in, even if they pretend to swim, they at least keep the calmness of the face of Tarzan before the collapse.

The biggest damage to the Chinese Super League is not the so-called loss of state assets, but to make Chinese players become slack, because they can make money lying down.

The top stream news in Chinese soccer these days is that the villa of former Guangzhou Ever grande player GAO Lin was offered for sale at 150 million, GAO Lin's villa was purchased for 50 million.

This is the biggest killer of Chinese soccer, because Chinese players have completely lost the urge to go to high-level European leagues, and Chinese soccer has produced all kinds of black-heated brokers who dip their toes in the water and gold-plated in Europe.

After Geo Titian's brief trip to Europe, European scouts said this about young Chinese players, that without sponsorship, there would be no European teams to accept these Chinese players.

These words of advice against the ear, after the bursting of the Chinese Super League bubble, like a slap in the face of Chinese soccer left and right.

Third, in the long run, the Chinese Super League must learn from the Japanese and Korean leagues, that is, foreign aid is just a green leaf, the real red flower must be local players.

Now whether it is the K-League, or the J-League, the two major leagues have a very different attitude towards foreign aid than the Chinese Super League.

After the Chinese Super League salary limit, players from Japanese and Korean leagues became the most important talent pool of the Chinese Super League.

So, from Junior, to Son Jun-ho, to Malcolm, players from the Korean league were basically able to play in the CAL.

To be honest, for the low level of the Chinese Super League, players from the Japanese and Korean leagues are sufficient as foreign aid, and the senior stuff is pure luxury.

Although the foreign players in the Japanese and Korean leagues also have a great tactical position in the team, the difference is that we treat foreign players as daddy and they treat foreign players as brother.

On the one hand, the difference in the level of local players creates a cloud of difference between the two sides.

On the other hand, the elementary school student level of the Chinese Super League but bringing in college student level foreign aid is an absolute waste of anti-aircraft guns to hit mosquitoes.

For the Chinese Super League, because of the low level of Chinese soccer and the chicken rib attribute of the AFC Champions League, in fact, in the end, it is pure self-indulgence.

In the long run, the Chinese Super League must learn from the Japanese and Korean leagues, that is, foreign aid is just a green leaf, the real red flower must be local players.

Four, several years later we look back, perhaps we will thank the epidemic, because Chinese soccer ushered in the best time not to break.

In the past two years, Chinese soccer has suffered a bone-chilling pain, from the national football team's humiliating failure to qualify for the World Cup again, to the half-dead existence of the Chinese Super League, all practitioners of Chinese soccer are living in torment.

From the naturalized players of the national football team to the Chinese style youth training, Chinese soccer is constantly being denied.

Now when the Chinese Super League, after a continuous centralized system, finally has the opportunity to resume home and away games, surprisingly several Chinese Super League teams are reluctant to return to home and away games this season because they can no longer even afford to pay the entry fees.

When Chongqing team has been disbanded, when Hebei team has been on the verge of collapse, when the two Guangzhou teams have been reduced to laughing stocks, then we have seen Chinese soccer's see him raise a tall building, see him feast guests, see his building collapse.

The electronic salary of the Chinese Super League players has emerged, they are also experiencing the same ordeal of broken supply, the practitioners of Chinese soccer, finally understand that the era of lying down can also make money is over.

After Guangzhou Everglade's for the country to raise soldiers, from the naturalized players can not help and the pathos of the national team out, we found that in fact Chinese soccer in the end really need the Chinese people themselves to solve.

And now the super foreign aid, including the future Oscar, left, we finally understand that for the growing lack of attention to the Chinese Super League, it really is not how many super foreign aid can save.

Maybe it's not appropriate to compare Oscar to Stu Redden, but there is one thing that can't be wrong, that is, Chinese soccer should lose its illusions, because the prestige of Chinese soccer in the Chinese people is bankrupt.

In a few years we will look back and perhaps be grateful for the epidemic, because Chinese soccer has finally ushered in the best time not to break.
