The road to nirvana in Chinese football, hopes and challenges in the painful transformation

Mondo Sports Updated on 2024-01-31

2023 is indeed a year full of challenges and pains for Chinese football. Thinking about this year, our league and national team performances have not been satisfactory, and it really makes the fans feel a lot of heartache. And the turmoil of the Chinese Football Association has made this year even more difficult. There are 14 current and former ** arrested, which also involves old giants like Shandong Taishan and Shanghai Shenhua, which is really unexpected.

This year, we can say that we are looking for new life in pain. At the end of the year, the high-profile access work will begin again, which is undoubtedly another severe test for some teams. This time of year is difficult for Chinese football. Before the winter training preparations for the new season, this entry barrier is like a big mountain, pressing on everyone's hearts.

Recall that in the past, the admission process did not seem to be so strict. Sometimes, leaders may turn a blind eye and just pass by. However, since the anti-corruption and anti-crime work, especially under the leadership of the new leader of the Football Association, Song Kai, the situation has changed dramatically. Now, if you can't solve the problem of unpaid wages, it is almost impossible to pass the audit.

I heard that although some of the people who returned the stolen goods still stayed in the Football Association to work, I think the access work this time is still much stricter than before. According to the latest reports, there are 50 teams registered for the ** league, but only 42 teams have passed the preliminary review, and the prospects of the remaining 8 teams are worrying. Among them, 2 are Chinese Super League teams, 4 are Chinese League A teams, and two are Chinese B teams. This is really concerning, what will be the fate of these teams in difficulty in the future?

The article concludes by pointing out that nearly five of the eight teams may not be able to pass the admission and are at risk of disbandment. This is a huge blow for any team. But on the other hand, the Chinese Football Association is doing this for the healthy development of Chinese football. Leaving a problem team behind is like leaving a cancer behind, and it has an immeasurable impact on the health of the league.

As an ordinary fan, I sincerely hope that Chinese football can get out of this series of tribulations and achieve a real rebirth. Although the process is painful, only after experiencing the grind can we usher in a new life. For Chinese football, this is not only a test, but also a baptism and a transformation. We are looking forward to the new season and to the surprises and hopes that Chinese football can bring us. After all, for those of us who love football, football will always be a love and expectation in our hearts.
