Qilu Network Lightning News on December 26, Shandong TV Sports Channel news, the 2021 Chinese Super League, seems to have fallen to the bottom overnight. More than half of the teams suffered from unpaid wages, there were few top foreign aides left, and the Chinese Super League giants such as Guangzhou, Haigang and Guoan had long ceased to be in the scenery. And is this transformation really just overnight, or is it destined to be so?
In fact, as early as the emergence of the gold dollar bubble, there will inevitably be a day of bursting.
Behind the many top foreign aides joining the Chinese Super League, the giants are all around, there is a large premium in the player transfer market, the annual salary of tens of millions of euros continues to soar, and the Chinese Super League clubs often invest 1 billion and 2 billion yuan per year. Correspondingly, there is high debt and low output under high investment, the slow improvement of local players, and the withering and even fault of the youth training system. Chinese football has not gotten better because of the high investment in the Chinese Super League, and the so-called fifth-largest league in the world is nothing more than a false prosperity under the golden dollar bubble.
When the gold dollar receded and the bubble burst, what was left was a devastated league, a season that was eclipsed.
Some people will say that in such a season, Shandong Taishan won the league championship, is its gold content still high? However, it is in this context that The Taishan team's victory in the league championship reflects the value of this team and their positive impact on the league.
When the Chinese Super League and even Chinese football were in turmoil, Shandong Football retained the last warmth of this football land with her stability and perseverance.
As early as the time when Jinyuan football swept the Chinese Super League, Shandong Luneng Taishan adjusted the investment in time, and did not follow the trend to join the so-called super giants, but instead controlled costs, rationally attracted reinforcements, and paid attention to the exploration and cultivation of the youth training system. When the world's famous coaches were all over the Chinese Super League, Luneng Taishan boldly used local coach Li Xiaopeng and gave him full support and trust, including Li Xiaopeng's successor Hao Wei. Although this made the Taishan team lag behind the super giants in terms of foreign aid configuration and overall strength in those years, it made the team's investment and cost more reasonable and stable. Local coaches, with full trust and support, can also play to their management and communication strengths. In recent years, the Taishan team has been disciplined, united and clear in tactics. Whether it is Li Xiaopeng or Hao Wei, they have proved that they are fully capable of controlling the Chinese Super League team. Li Xiaopeng's appointment as the coach of the national football team this time is naturally inseparable from his coaching experience and achievements in the Taishan team. It is precisely because the Taishan team did not blindly follow the trend in the Golden Yuan era, adjusted the direction in time, rationally invested, and developed steadily, which laid the foundation for today's accumulation and thin development.
Nowadays, the main reason why chinese super league teams have a large area of wage arrears is the stagnation of club equity reform. The original shareholders suffered serious losses under the frenzy of gold dollars, and the new shareholders were reluctant to enter due to dissatisfaction with the investment conditions, so that the rupture of funds was inevitable. The rupture of funds has caused new debts such as wage arrears, and how to divide creditor's rights and equity has further hindered the reform of equity, and the vicious circle has intensified.
In contrast, the Taishan team, as early as the second half of last year, the club's equity reform has begun. Before the start of the season, the Tarzan club share reform had been completed. Luneng Group and Shandong Electric Power, as investors at this stage, each accounted for 30% of the shares, while Jinan Cultural Tourism Group, as a manager, accounted for 40% of the shares, and was the largest shareholder, and Taishan team became the earliest and most successful team in the Chinese Super League. With the smooth transition of management and the continuous and stable investment of funds, the Taishan team was able to go all out this season without any worries.
Due to the epidemic, the Chinese Super League and the FA Cup in the past two years have changed to the tournament system. In the case of dense schedules, the thickness of the team's lineup is a major guarantee of performance, and the taishan team's sufficient and complete lineup can cope with the dense schedule of these two years relatively calmly. On the one hand, the Taishan team is reasonably in place in the introduction of internal and external assistance, on the other hand, it is the youth training results of the Taishan team. Zheng Zheng, Guo Tianyu, Liu Yang, Wu Xinghan, Han Rongze, Duan Liuyu, etc., the three generations of players from Luneng Youth Training have become the main force or role players of The Taishan team and even the national team. For the long-term development of a team, self-hematopoiesis is the foundation.
In 2021, when the Chinese Super League is at a low ebb, the success of Taishan is not a mirror of Chinese football. With many teams stagnating and struggling, the development model of the Taishan team is not an answer to the future of the league.
When the golden dollar soccer exits, who is speculating and who is sticking to it is clear at a glance.
In a relatively gloomy season, the success here is particularly dazzling.
