According to a number of domestic media confirmed, the Chinese Football Association will soon implement a player salary reduction program within the year. After the salary cut, the "maximum salary" of Chinese local players will be reduced from 5 million yuan before tax to 3 million yuan before tax, which means that the maximum income after tax will be less than 2 million. In the case of the defeat of the national football team in Vietnam, the plan aroused heated discussion as soon as it was exposed; at the same time, it also caused fierce opposition from many people.
Recently, the well-known Chinese football journalist Ran Xiongfei publicly accused Chen Shuyuan of drinking and quenching thirst when he was in charge of the Football Association's two strict salary cuts on his personal social platform, and did not care about the interests of clubs and Chinese players.
Ran Xiongfei said: "The most stringent salary reduction order of the Football Association is particularly stupid! Especially special silly! International footballers with high salaries and low salaries can reduce salaries deservedly, but they do not agree with the introduction of the strictest salary restriction order! One... In three years, the income of international football players has fallen three times in a row, and the salary reduction rate is as high as 70%, what standards and standards are used by the Chinese Football Association to formulate new standards, and which regulations are based. It is not that he does not agree to give the players a salary cut, but that he is angry at the arbitrariness of the Chinese Football Association! ”
"Second, the most stringent salary restriction order of the Chinese Football Association is also a product of the Football Association, which not only completely disrespects any opinion of more than forty professional football clubs, but also makes rough decisions and completely disrespects the personal interests of more than a thousand professional players. Third, the strictest salary restriction order can drink and quench thirst in the short term, and in the long run, it is a salary drawn from the bottom of the cauldron, and the Fa Association unilaterally announced that the salary cut seems to be considered for the healthy development of the club, but in fact it deprives the club of the space for free development... On the contrary, it has found the best reason for more high-quality brands to leave Chinese football. Ran Xiongfei said.
It is not difficult to see from Ran Xiongfei's statement that at present, in Chinese football, the discussion on the salary limit plan is very fierce. Since 2019, the Football Association has forced three salary cuts in three years, which cannot but be said to touch on a considerable number of "sensitive" levels. There has been no conclusive conclusion as to whether the player's salary should be priced according to the club's own commercial operations or whether the FA should be "one size fits all". But in any case, the general direction of the "salary cut" of the Chinese men's football team has been determined, and the future depends on how to launch a specific plan.
