Chinanews.com Client, Beijing, March 27th (Zhang Yifan) The new crown pneumonia epidemic is raging around the world, and the normal social life of many countries or regions is affected, thereby affecting the economy. Under such a background, global sports are basically "stopped", and the loss of competitive sports also means the loss of fans and broadcasts, which is undoubtedly a huge blow to the entire industry.
The suspension period is less than a month, but many clubs have suffered heavy losses. Not to mention the sharp increase in financial pressure, and it has even been "struggling hard." They all talk about money hurting their feelings, but when they see that they are really stretched out, they may not be able to care so much.
According to the Spanish media "Aspen", after the suspension of the league was announced, the Spanish Football League calculated the possible losses for each team. If all the remaining events are cancelled, the total loss may be as high as 678 million euros. As a grasshopper on the same boat, all glory and no loss is necessary. This huge loss will also be indirectly borne by many parties such as labor and capital.

Barcelona, the world's most powerful player, has issued an announcement saying that the club will take measures to reduce a series of economic losses caused by the epidemic, including the possibility of reducing wages for players and club staff.
Depending on the epidemic situation and the suspension time, Barcelona may reduce the salary of the club personnel's existing contract proportionally. The club will strictly implement the measures in accordance with the relevant regulations to ensure that it is implemented under a fair premise. The sole purpose is to resume the club's related activities as soon as possible.
From the feedback information, except for a few lively gangsters such as Messi and Busquets, others did not fully accept such a "nightmare" decision.
Of course, there are also teams who are willing to "share troubles".

For example, the Bundesliga were promoted to Berlin United, and they just passed a statement a few days ago to express the intention of the first team players to agree to a salary cut. At the same time, club managers and employees agreed to part-time work arrangements to save money.
In most people's impressions, most of the players who can compete in the five major leagues are millionaires. What if they get less money this year?
But the fact is that the bright players are only a small part of the top league. In addition, countless behind-the-scenes staff and club employees were also swept up in this storm. Like us, they just rely on this salary to support ordinary people.

In other words, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will not be disappointed because they took less money, but Barcelona's cleaners and Juventus chefs may not have the credit cards of the next month, and the wives and children in the family need daily use money.
You might think that the bosses who can own top clubs are mostly wealthy, so why pay cuts? Are the bosses all "skin pickers"?
As we all know, in the well-known five major leagues and NBA, the boss mostly has other industries. Affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, these bosses may be facing various problems such as corporate crises, stock plunges, and unattended business. In this case, it may not be easy to maintain the expenses of a top league club as usual.
Data map: Earlier, Gobel was diagnosed with new crown pneumonia, and then the NBA announced a suspension of the season.
In the case of the Swiss League, the official announcement was made on March 1. As a club of Ruichao, Xiyong's economic situation has been bad, and no wages have been paid for three months before the outbreak. The outbreak of the epidemic has increased the burden on the club. Boss Constantine hoped that the players would accept a short-term contract for salary reduction, and those who refused were terminated.
It may seem cold and ruthless, but the proper deduction of players' salaries is actually not only the wishful thinking of the boss to open source and reduce expenditures, but also a method of trying to save himself. If the team's financial situation is facing a collapse, it can be more than just a pay cut.
At present, the NBA teams are facing the same financial situation, and they must pay their players before April 1. However, according to the reflection of the team and the league, no one can guarantee whether all the teams will be able to pay the players normally on the next payday.
The five major leagues are far more than just the players we care about. Data sheet: Spaniards.
Earlier, the NBA Philadelphia 76ers announced on the 24th that the general contract of free contract workers (both employees who can terminate the labor relationship at any time) will be reduced by 15% and up to 20%. This decision was withdrawn.
In other words, whether it's the players, the bosses or the employees, are the victims of this storm. Whether it is pay cuts, layoffs or layoffs, there are deep frustrations.
It can be imagined that in the near future, there will be many leagues and clubs that will have salary reduction plans and plans, and there will also be many voices supporting or opposing. This is not a farce, but the most authentic portrayal of ordinary people's hopes and struggles in this epidemic.
Under the nest, how can there be finished eggs. Looking at the entire international sports scene and facing "salary cuts", how about these clubs? (Finish)
