The disappearance of Tianhai club suggests that the living environment of our Chinese professional football club has not improved in any qualitative way.
Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, May 12th: “Death of the sky and sea”, A tragedy that makes Chinese football alert
Xinhua News Agency reporter Ma Bangjie
“build a 100-year club” “dare to win the world for Tianjin” “three years of Asian Championship and five years of World Club”…… These slogans, which make people passionate and bloody, still ring in the ears of many Tianjin fans, a cruel reality that they try to avoid still comes: after struggling for 4 months, Tianjin Tianhai club was unable to return to the sky and officially announced its dissolution.
From its source, Hohhot Binhai professional club has a short history, only 14 years, but it also had a good vision of the past, a thousand dollars of investment and today’s sad loneliness, it’s sad.
The bankruptcy of Tianhai broke the hearts of thousands of fans. Serious professional football clubs are the spiritual home of fans, the maintenance of their roots and the return of their souls, representing their self-identity identification. Professional football has its spiritual attribute. There is a need for heroic words and passionate slogans.
Slogans often guide a goal and need to be realized through rational control. It is reported that when Tianhai club was called “Quan Jian”, Quan Jian Group scattered 2.2 billion yuan in three years to buy stars and pay high salaries. The team once had a brilliant record.
However, the development of any professional football club needs to focus on the long term. Years and history can leave the club with precious accumulation that money cannot be bought. Jose Jose, the current manager of the Premier League Spurs club, once said: “As a rich club, you can buy top stars, but you can’t buy the details.” In this regard, the head coach of Manchester City club, modiola, agreed: “This is correct. You really can’t buy the details with money.”
The continuous growth of professional football clubs requires corresponding social and industrial environments. The development of professional football requires money, but it is necessary to prevent the emergence of Kingyuan football, which only focuses on the present and ignores the long-term development. This was the reason why UEFA introduced the “financial fair competition policy. This is also the reason why the Chinese Football Association is now determined to squeeze out the football bubble.
The Tragedy of Tianhai is enough to alert many other Chinese professional football clubs. The parent company that controls absolute equity weaved and could not find a new gold owner, but went bankrupt. In the same story, who can guarantee that other clubs will not happen to themselves?
Through the tragedy of Tianhai, we can see again that most Chinese professional football clubs have fatal defects in their own survival ability.
In March 2015, the overall plan for the reform and development of Chinese football was officially announced, which was nearly 4 months earlier than the acquisition of this club by Quan Jian Group. Article 11 and Article 12 stipulate that the government, enterprises and individuals should invest in multiple ways…… Form a reasonable investment source structure…… Explore the implementation of the total salary management of teams and players, effectively prevent the players from being overvalued, disorderly competition and other issues……
Before Quanjian Group entered the club named Songjiang, Tianjin at that time, the overall plan for the reform and development of Chinese football had already pointed out the root cause of Tianhai club’s bankruptcy today, it also points out the crisis we have been facing in professional football.
Five years have passed since the introduction of the overall plan for the reform and development of Chinese football. The disappearance of Tianhai club suggests that the living environment of our Chinese professional football club has not improved in any qualitative way.
It can be seen from this that the slogan “implement the plan of foot reform steadily and follow the rules of football honestly” put forward by Chen Biyuan when he was elected as the chairman of the Chinese Football Association last year has profound connotation.
Of course, we hope this is not just a slogan.
