In September 2018, Cai Zhenhua was dismissed from his position as Deputy Director General of the General Administration of Sport of China. Just a year before he left Chinese football, a new policy for young players was born.
At the beginning of the 2017 season, the Chinese Football Association officially issued a document requiring that "there shall be no less than one player under the age of 23 on the field of each team in each game".
At the start of the season, the reaction of the major teams was not obvious. But when the summer window opened, unlike in previous years, which had invested heavily in the introduction of big-name foreign aid, they all began to be surprisingly low-key, and there was almost no heavy introduction of domestic and foreign aid, and the young players required by the Football Association became the mainstream.
At the age of twenty-three, he became a shackle in the career of a young Chinese player.
Guangzhou Evergrande gave up the domestic market and introduced young players Feng Boxuan, Deng Yubiao and Wu Xiang from the Portuguese lower league, Beijing Guoan introduced Ning Weichen from the Portuguese League Cova Petaddi, and Shandong Luneng also brought Wei Jingzong from Portugal.
When the term "Portugal" repeatedly appears in the domestic transfer window, people are not only concerned about the huge scale of Chinese players staying abroad, but also about why they just meet the requirements of this policy.
At that time, the new policy of the Football Association was almost out of nowhere, resulting in a sudden shortage of young players in various clubs, a sharp imbalance between supply and demand in the player market, and the value of school-age players exploded instantly.
At this time, if any agency has a large number of players of the right age in its hands, it is almost sitting and receiving money.
Coincidentally, there was a football agency that had a large number of age-appropriate players in its hands.
National green black gold
In 2016, after the defeat of the Asian Youth Championships, Li Ming, the then coach of the 97 National Youth Championships, poured bitter water in front of the first place, and no one could use it to complain.
But what Li Ming didn't dare to admit was that there were suddenly many unknown players in the national youth team that went to play the Asian Youth Championship, and most of them came from Portuguese third- and fourth-tier league teams such as Gondomar and Guimarães.
What he couldn't explain even more was that during his tenure as the coach of the national youth team, the national youth team had recruited players from Xinghui Hesheng Company when they competed in international competitions. After Li Ming got out of class, half of the national youth team members were eliminated.
After Li Ming went down, Sun Jihai took over the coaching whip of the 97 age group Olympic selection team, and later became Hiddink's assistant coach. When the former was still working as an assistant to Hiddink, he was already under the guidance of Xinghui Hesheng and went to Xinjiang to do youth training.
Hiddink was almost out of the box at the time, and during his time in charge of the Olympic Games, there were often seven or eight star-studded players on the pitch. And the record of this team is also red all the way, see who loses.
When Hao Wei, who has nothing to do with Xinghui, takes over, he brings the lineup to play in the Asian Cup, and there are only three players with Xinghui, Yang Liyu, Huang Cong, and Zhang Lingfeng.
In addition to Yan Dinghao and Shan Huanhuan who were unable to play due to injury, the "Xinghui Hesheng Department" brought by the former coach to play the qualifiers like Wu Wei, Li Yang, Zhang Yuan, Lin Liangming, and Yao Daogang were all cleared by Hao Wei and replaced by a group of players from Luneng Academy.
This has almost become a true portrayal of "a generation of emperors and a courtier", whether Chinese football is really unavailable, this is the most difficult puzzle behind the national youth black and gold transaction.
The era of Wadi
During the Weidi period, Xinghui Hesheng began to be bound to the Football Association. One of the masterpieces of this agency is to find Rick Link, the mallet coach for the Nine Three Kingdoms.
In August 2011, Wei Di, who had just taken over as the director of the Foot Management Center, planned this when he officially launched the "Youth in Portugal" project, and he wholeheartedly promoted this plan as a key project.
At that time, there were two agents who were mainly responsible for this matter, one was Qingdao agent Chen Qi, who was also the person behind the operation of Dabao to Benfica. The other is Guo Feng, the younger brother of Guo Hui, the head of the Youth Department of the Football Association at that time, and the boss of Xinghui Hesheng.
In 2013, Wei Di left Chinese football, and the "Portuguese Stay Plan" was unfinished.
Some of the players who stayed in Portugal broke away from the control of the original club and the Football Association, and were taken over by Xinghui Hesheng, gradually opening the curtain on the export of Chinese football to domestic sales.
When Xinghui's players can continue to send to the national youth and the national Olympic Games; When Rick Link gets out of class in the national youth, he can also be operated by them to be a coach in the national youth; When people who are close to Xinghui continue to stand in the position of national coach; When the Football Association introduced a policy, it helped to hoard a large number of school-age players, and sold at the highest point to make a lot of money.
You can think that this is a man-made disaster for Chinese football.
The Death of the New Deal
In 2017, when the new policy of the Football Association was introduced, in the remaining five top 12 matches, Lippi used Zhang Yuning and Deng Hanwen, two players who were less than 23 years old at the time. Among them, Zhang Yuning was still abroad at that time, and Deng Hanwen was already the main force in Guizhou before the introduction of the new policy.
In the 2019 Asian Cup, Lippi did not bring a player under the age of 23, and only Liu Yang, Liu Yiming, and Wei Shihao were in the squad at that time to catch up with the new policy era of the Football Association.
At that time, Wei Shihao had not yet gone to Evergrande, and he did not use the policy to play in Shanghai Port and Guoan. Liu Yiming was already the main central defender of Tianjin Quanjian before the policy was introduced. is full of calculations, and only Liu Yang may be able to enter the national team because of the new policy.
At the same time, during the six years since the introduction of the new policy of the Football Association, the national brand record has also been extremely bad.
In October 2018, Cheng Yaodong led the 99 National Youth League to lose two consecutive games in the Asian Youth Championships, and only won an innocuous victory in the final round of the group. In 2019, the 01 National Youth led by Cheng Yaodong was eliminated in the qualifying stage of the Asian Youth Championships.
In January 2020, under the leadership of firefighting coach Hao Wei, the 97 National Olympic Games, which had changed the team formation rights several times, lost three consecutive defeats in the group stage and did not score a goal.
If at the beginning of 2017, many young players returned to China or on loan, then after 2018, the market for young players in Chinese football has been completely crazy.
Beijing Guoan signed Wei Shihao at the cost of more than 25 million signing fees. At the end of 2017, the Lippi team publicly said that He Chao was Zheng Zhi's **, and Evergrande, Quanjian and other clubs went to ask for the price, and Yatai marked a price of 300 million.
Not only did the New Deal fail to train people, but the specific policies also once made the market price of this group of school-age players completely fatten the agent and this group of players who caught up with the New Deal.
If there is no collusion of interests, the coincidence will be too concentrated. How Xinghui Hesheng learned about the future market of young Chinese players, and why the Football Association just chose the age of 23, just because it adapted to the age requirements of the National Olympic Games, is an explanation that no one will believe.
The clues strung together by Rick Link, the Portuguese Study Plan, the Youth Olympic Games of the 97th National Games, Hiddink and others, who knows that more ulterior secrets will be revealed.
