China News Service Client, Beijing, April 24 (Xing Rui) After the world football shut down due to the epidemic, the "salary reduction" has become the "main theme" of the major clubs. First, Ronaldo gave up the salary of 4 million euros, and then Messi voluntarily lowered his salary by 70%. In the case of the "unparalleled double arrogance" in the football world, the selfishness of the self is a lot of self. Chinese football with rich money.
On the 9th of this month, the Chinese Football Association convened representatives of professional league clubs at all levels to hold a video seminar to reach a consensus on a reasonable salary reduction. However, half a month later, whether the clubs have taken action, still no follow-up reports. Some analysts worry about whether the pay cut will stay at the slogan level. Under the circumstances of the league shutting down and the reduction of club income, the players should naturally unite and overcome the difficulties. However, the follow-up news has not been seen for a long time, and one cannot help but wonder whether this measure is encountering resistance.

In fact, the issue of salary reduction has been discussed in the Chinese football long ago, and there are naturally supporters and opponents. Earlier, Wuhan Zall Club player Ai Zhibo publicly stated that the salary reduction should be "different between China and Europe"-the revenue of the Chinese Super Club is different from that of European clubs. European team players are on vacation, and most Chinese players are still training; the contract The relevant provisions are not perfect, and there is no legal basis for salary reduction.
Ai Zhibo's point of view is not unreasonable, the operating system of Chinese football and European football is very different. Compared with European football, which has a higher degree of professionalism and tighter bundling of players' wages and the market, the wage reduction of Chinese football is naturally a more complicated project.
In the low-level leagues, many players are still in a situation of no salary and worrying about survival, but standing in the top leagues, looking around, how many players are receiving high salaries while playing football and being scolded ... From another perspective, the salary reduction In fact, aside from the factors of the epidemic, the limitation of salary is only to return the price to value. When the Football Association strives to curb gold dollar football, salary cuts may be late, but will never be absent.

However, the implementation of this policy will inevitably face various obstacles: who will lead the pay cut? What is the rate of salary reduction? Which players are covered by the salary cut? Questions such as this test the wisdom and determination of managers.
As far as the club is concerned, reducing the salary of players can naturally ease the financial pressure. But if mandatory salary cuts, will it lead to labor disputes? Will it urge a “resignation wave” of foreign aid? Moreover, there are naturalized players in some clubs. Is the salary reduction policy applicable to them?
Perhaps the club is unwilling to "offend" the players, they kicked the "ball" to the Football Association. However, in the case that FIFA does not have the power to interfere in the operation of national leagues, the Chinese Football Association may only be the advocate of salary reduction, not the commander.

In fact, in the final analysis, the salary reduction should be the result of Chinese football's self-restraint and adjustment, but it has been unable to land. It also reflects the old-fashioned problems of Chinese football: insufficient professionalism, insufficient self-blood production ability, youth training Imperfect system ... These problems that have been deposited for many years eventually led to today's "defeat" situation.
But then again, although salary cuts can "cool down" Chinese football, the "one size fits all" approach is also undesirable. For Chinese football that has a “big gap between the rich and the poor”, it may still be necessary to implement reforms in a down-to-earth manner, and seek accurate and realistic policies, which can not only eliminate unreasonable expenses, but also defeat the “false fire”; Become a professional sports project that more people are willing to engage in.
In order to achieve such a goal, it is inseparable from the scientific decision-making of the Chinese football authority, the dedication of the football practitioners to the overall situation, and the clubs as the main body of the league to act in accordance with regulations and regulations. Everyone knows that Chinese football has a salary limit, a fire defeat, and a benign ecology. In the decades since the first century A, various documents have been issued, but the player's value has risen and risen, and the false fire has become more and more burning. Prosperous. Only when supervision is not reduced to a dead letter, and all practitioners can act in accordance with the rules, can we really break through the "bubble" that hangs over Chinese football. (Finish)
