Recently, the Chinese Football Association (CFA) released a notice of the completion of the first batch of debt liquidation. This notice reveals that 42 teams have successfully completed their debt settlement, freed themselves from their debts, earned their eligibility to play, and were able to return to the field of play in the new season. Among them, 15 Chinese Super League, 11 Chinese First Division and 16 Chinese Second Division teams are on the list. However, there are still 16 teams in debt, including 3 Chinese Super League, 7 Chinese First Division and 6 Chinese Second Division teams. Although these teams still have a theoretical chance of promotion, due to the lack of time and funds, it is feared that the road back to the competition is far from being realized. Some of these 16 teams are even on the verge of bankruptcy, facing the risk of falling apart.
There are numerous reasons for this fiasco, among which the role of Chen Xuyuan cannot be ignored. Why? Firstly, Chen Xuyuan suppressed gold dollar soccer during his time in power and pushed for public welfare soccer; secondly, he advocated the neutralization of club names. The suppression of gold-dollar soccer made it difficult for many teams to bring in foreign aid and limited their development. And the implementation of club name neutralization has made the gold owners reluctant to invest and the survival of the team is worrying.
Of course, gold dollar soccer is not a feasible way, and neutralizing club names is also a future trend. But the excessive pursuit of quick success and instant benefits will only make the reality and the ideal drift away from each other. If Chen Xuyuan can rationally look at the current situation of Chinese soccer, start from the basic problems and solve them gradually, I believe that Chinese soccer will not be reduced to the present state. Today's Chinese soccer, the league is chaotic, problems abound, and even some people are talking nonsense. It is no exaggeration to say that Chen Xuyuan has completely ruined Chinese soccer.
For Chinese fans, it is unfortunate to have such a chairman of the Football Association. The early stage of Chinese soccer development was full of hardships, but now there is only a glimmer of life left. Every Chinese fan is eager to see the healthy development of Chinese soccer. Although we often tease and complain, but in the face of the status quo, there is only endless disappointment.
I hope that this Chinese soccer anti-corruption and anti-blackmail action can be a drum, no matter who is involved, must be severely punished! Otherwise, it will be difficult for Chinese soccer to usher in a brand new day!
