On 18, following the increase in salary limit and the request for the club to change its neutral name, the Football Association issued "Several Measures to Further Promote the Reform and Development of Football", announcing that the Super League will be expanded to 18 teams by 2023, and the mode of "men's football matches women's football" will be implemented.
Not only the Super League, but also according to the plan of the Football Association, by 2023, China A will also expand to 20 teams, and China B will also expand to about 30 teams.
The so-called "Men's Football Team with Women's Football Team" model is to establish a professional women's football team as one of the access conditions of the Super League club, so as to promote the development of women's football.
Previously, the Super League was awarded the eighth largest league in the world, relying on a strong audience base and the club's sky-high investment. Now that the salary is limited, the Football Association probably wants to find another way-at least the participating teams should be the same as the top leagues.
However, the chain reaction brought by the expansion of the army is that the number of relegation places in the Super League in 202 1 and 2022 will become 0.5, while the number of promotion places in the First Division will be 1.5.
Many fans' souls are asking: Can Super Watch in these two years?
First of all, salary restriction has led to the departure of "super foreign aid", and the attraction and excitement of the league will be discounted. Nowadays, 0.5 relegation places are basically equal to no relegation, and the last team still has a chance to "survive". Where is the motivation of the club? Like this year's TEDA, will there be more and more wonderful situations of winning a game and avoiding relegation?
Regarding the expansion decision of the Football Association, some experts said that the Super League was originally a "pseudo-professional" league, and many things did not fully conform to the path of marketization. There are too many means of administrative intervention, including "men's football matches women's football" and "entry threshold" that must be changed. At present, no matter how to limit salary and expand the army, it is impossible to solve the problem of lack of youth and weak reserve force from the root.
After the expansion, it seems that the population of professional football has increased and the lineup of professional football clubs has expanded. However, the football level in China has not improved and the environment has not improved. The attraction to capital will only decline again.
Some fans directly said, "Let's solve the unpaid salary first. What's the use of not having enough teams? " "Quantity is useless. If there is no quality equal to zero, foreign aid will be scared away with the level. No matter how many teams there are, no one is watching. "
Others bluntly said: "Does the Super League have the title of selling 16 team now?"
Some people even extended the topic directly to the name change of the club announced a few days ago. "In the past, you could make money at a loss, but now you are not allowed to have a company name. What are the motivations of these investors to play football? "
Indeed, in another "battlefield", many clubs are still worried about changing their names. Whether Beijing fans or not, many people are "pleading" for Guoan. Someone directly said the reason why Guoan should be retained: "Because it represents the country and the people, other teams must abide by the rules."
Fans from other teams also quit. "The representative of Henan Jianye has made contributions", "Yongchang remains eternal" and "Evergrande forever strong".
Others go directly to the direction of national fitness, "support, limit salary, expand the team and let more people participate."
You see, how hard China fans work, what is this heart?
However, I am really worried about the Football Association. I have to bring a women's football team and change my neutral name. Are you sure the club won't rise up? Then don't expand the army, but shrink it. ...
