For countries that practice professional football, the quality of professional leagues largely determines the level of football development in a country. The most successful professional leagues are the top five leagues, and no country in Europe has ever won the World Cup outside of the top five leagues. The success of Japanese football also began with professionalism. China has been implementing professional leagues for 30 years, but why has it achieved little success?Under the current conditions, how to promote the high-quality development of China's professional leagues?
oneCongenital deficiencies
The professional reform of football in China has not been thorough from the beginning, and it has not been completely operated in accordance with market rules. At that time, the reason why the A team was able to survive was half by "eating the emperor's food" and half by "pulling sponsorship". In other words, professionalism was nominally implemented, but it did not solve the problem of funding** on which professional clubs depended.
Another congenital deficiency is the format. The original 16 A-League teams were split and expanded into A-A and A-B, and there were only 12 A-A teams participating in the top league. A 12-team double round-robin league means that each team only plays 22 league games in a season. With such a small amount of games, how can you ensure the competitive state of the players?And how to get the ticket revenue required for the club's operation and maintenance?For example, if Deyun Club only performed 20 cross talks a year, then Guo Degang would have drunk the northwest wind a long time ago.
Therefore, in terms of top-level design, our professionalism is not "professional".
2. Developmental malformations
In the era of the Chinese Super League, due to the rapid growth of China's economy in those years, the enthusiasm of enterprises to invest in football was also relatively high, and Jinyuan football began to prevail. However, due to the inability to keep up with the system design, professional football has not become more standardized and mature according to its own logic, and on the contrary, a lot of football chaos has been formed. One is to burn money willfully, and even the transfer of local players has been speculated to sky-high prices, and even few young players are willing to stay abroad;The second is that the club changes hands frequently, the name is changed again and again, and the fans may not know what the team they were familiar with now if they don't watch the game for 3 yearsThe third is to pave the way with money, breed corruption, and even the chairman of the Football Association is in prison;Fourth, the withdrawal will be withdrawn, Jiangsu Suning won the Super League championship, Kunshan team successfully but disbanded one after another, the stability of the professional league has been greatly disturbed, and the number of teams at the level is only enough every year, and the threshold of the professional league is getting lower and lower.
Third, the source is clear
The so-called "clean up the source" is to return the professional leagues and professional clubs to their original faces, appropriately raise the entry threshold, rather than lack the mother, ensure the basic stability of the teams participating in the professional league, and at the same time vigorously develop youth football and amateur football, and consolidate the foundation of the professional league. The specific recommendations are:
First, the existing ** professional league will be adjusted to two levels, and the existing 48 professional teams will be compressed into 38, that is, 18 in the Chinese Super League and 20 in the Chinese League. The main reason why the professional league should maintain a scale of more than 18 teams is to ensure that the number of matches meets the general standards of the professional league, and to avoid the decline in competitive status caused by long-term interruptions and the non-return of foreign aid.
Second, the China Second League withdrew from the professional league, changed the name of the China Champions League to the China C League, and improved the two-level amateur league mechanism. At present, the Chinese League B basically has no professional league characteristics, such as non-double round-robin, no foreign aid, no TV broadcast share and basically no ticket revenue, etc., it is better to return to the amateur league. This not only reduces the burden on the club, but also helps to maintain the vitality of the amateur league. The name of the Champions League is nondescript, and it is easy to misunderstand it as a secondary league (the Championship is a league between the Premier League and League One), or to put it mildly, it is called the China C League.
Third, the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League will continue to implement the home-and-away systemThe second league implements the competition system, and is divided into 4 stages for double round-robin;The China C League first adopts the division system, and the qualifying teams implement the competition system to determine the final ranking.
