Wang Jianlin said that what Chinese football lacks is not money.
That's right, Chinese football is not short of money. Over the years, more than 20 billion yuan has been spent, in exchange for the first-class in Asia to the third-rate in Asia.
China's investment in football is the second largest in the world, and I am afraid that no other country dares to say that it is the first.
It is precisely because there is too much money in Chinese football, and this money is easy to come by, so from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, everything looks at money. The famous French Lippi coaches in China, with an annual salary of up to 1200 million, becoming the highest-paid football coach in the world. Lippi admitted that the reason why he came to China to coach was not how high the level of Chinese football was, but that he really couldn't resist the attractive high salary. It's like a college professor who wants to be a first-grade elementary school teacher for a high salary.
There is too much money in Chinese football, and it is easy to come by, so everyone wants to drill into it for the sake of money. If you want to drill into it, of course, you have to use money to open the way. A foreign coach who participated in China's youth training fired a youth player who was not talented and did not work hard. Unexpectedly, a few days later, I saw that the expelled player became the main player of a club. He was surprised, he didn't understand, and sighed, how can he improve the level of football in this way.
What he didn't know was that people spent money to become the main players, played on the field, and earned the money back.
Another example is the online rumor, 300,000 is the most basic price for entering the fish belly team, and 500,000 can play football, but it is not guaranteed to be the main player. Of course, it doesn't matter if you play well or not when you play for a few minutes, after a ball game, the prize money is millions.
Some fans are surprised that players can't pass the ball, can't receive the ball, can't move, can't cooperate. The pass is always half a beat slower, and the stop stop is more than ten meters away. You think how strong their ability can be to play with money bought.
Even Chen Shuyuan admits that Chinese football is corrupt in all aspects. It's all the fault of too much money. It seems that there is too much money, which is not necessarily a good thing for Chinese football.
