"Guilty of winning the championship?Wu Jingui was dismissed after the victory, where is the spirit of the professional football contract?”
In this world of football full of suspense and waves, sometimes winning doesn't mean everything is perfect. Just when we were immersed in the glorious moment when Wu Jingui won the FA Cup, there was suddenly an unbelievable news - he was forced to leave class by Shanghai Shenhua Club!This can't help but make people wonder whether winning the championship is a great merit or some kind of "original sin"?
Back in time before the 2024 season, Shanghai's football scene changed dramatically, the news of the dismissal of Harbour Champions coach Xavier shocked fans, and at this turbulent moment, Shanghai Shenhua Club also announced that it would not renew Wu Jingui's contract. The joint action of these two heroes makes one wonder if this is a coincidence or some hidden law in the football world
On December 26, Shenhua Club issued an announcement announcing that from January 1, 2024, Wu Jingui will no longer serve as the head coach of the Shenhua football team. This news caused an uproar, and Wu Jingui was even more furious, accusing the club of violating the contract, not being trustworthy, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, and cooking rabbits and dead dogs. The rhetoric was so fierce that one couldn't help but wonder what happened to make the champion so angry
From Wu Jingui's point of view, he believes that he has overfulfilled his tasks, and he must pay high liquidated damages if he dismisses him. The investor, Shanghai Jiu, did not seem to want to let go of the money easily, so a battle for a public contract against the court began. This makes one wonder what kind of spirit should professional football be based on?Do you pursue the spirit of contract, or do you make adjustments mercilessly when you don't get good grades?
I firmly support Wu Jingui's reasonable demands.
In my opinion, professional football cannot be just an afterthought of a victory, but should maintain the continuous development of the spirit of the contract in every contract. This phenomenon is particularly prominent in Chinese Super League football, where seemingly useless people can compensate the club all over once the liquidated damages are activated. And how can a club that really contributes to the club be discarded like a rag and then discarded like a rag
However, we also need to be hospitable.
One might argue that the club has the right to make personnel changes based on the team's performance, as part of the club's management. In fact, it is true that there are some coaches who have not been fired because of poor results, which is also a reasonable operational strategy. But this does not deny that the question raised by Wu Jingui exists, whether the football world needs to adhere to the spirit of contract more
Looking back at the ever-changing world of football, we can't help but think deeply. Professional football is not just about glory and achievements, it is also a field of spiritual beliefs. On this passionate green field, what we need is not only victory on the field, but also a common belief and the spirit of contract.
Finally, we call for a deep rethinking of the operating model of Chinese Super League clubs.
Football is not just a game, it is a culture, a belief. It is only on this basis that a truly cohesive club can be built. Let us all look forward to the future of the football world, not only on the surface, but also on the depths of the connotation. Because only on this basis can our football go further and be more stable.
