Chinanews.com client, Beijing, December 18th (Reporter Wang Sishuo) At the end of the year, there were waves of reforms in Chinese football.

On the 18th, the Chinese Football Association released "Measures to Further Promote the Reform and Development of Football" on its website, which is full of dry goods.

　　Reminiscent of the special governance meeting of the professional league just held four days ago, it can be seen that the Football Association has made great efforts to promote the implementation of the New Deal.

8 and 35 specific measures have been promulgated. What are the highlights?

Xiaoxin sorted out five key words to show you the latest version of Chinese football reform measures.

Expansion

　　"The Chinese Super League will expand to 18 participating teams in 2023, the Chinese A League to 20 participating teams, and the Chinese Second League to about 30 participating teams. The implementation of the Chinese Super League club's "men's football with women's football" model will establish a professional women's football team. As one of the access conditions for the Chinese Super League club, it drives the development of women's football."

　　The Chinese Super League, which represents the highest level of the domestic football league, is about to undergo major changes.

Under the control of the new salary limit policy, it is a certain fact that Chinese football and the "Golden Dollar Football" era wave goodbye.

Under this premise, the long-awaited military expansion plan finally came.

　　According to the previous plan of the Chinese Football Association, the expansion of the professional league will present a pyramid formation.

In the 2019 season, the Chinese Division B will expand to 32 teams. In the 2020 and 2021 seasons, the Chinese Division A teams will reach 18 and 20 respectively. After solidifying the foundation, the 2022 season, the number of teams competing in the Super League will increase to 18.

At the end of the Football Association’s vision, the Chinese Super League and the Chinese A will each have 20 seats, and the Chinese B League will double on the basis of 32 teams, eventually reaching 64 teams.

　　The small club encountered survival difficulties and became a stumbling block in the implementation of the established plan.

For example, at the beginning of this year, 9 professional teams were declared "dead" by the Chinese Football Association because they failed to submit the salary and bonus confirmation form on time.

　　In the face of an increasingly severe situation, the Football Association temporarily suspended the expansion plan. Except for the already completed expansion of the Chinese Division to the 18th team, the expansion of the other leagues has stopped abruptly.

At the same time, following the announcement of the salary limit policy at the end of 2019, the Chinese Football Association further lowered the salary ceiling for professional players in order to reduce the operating pressure of most clubs.

　　After a series of preparations were completed, the army expansion was mentioned again.

There are still more than two years left until the 2023 season. In terms of the extent of army expansion, the Football Association has also lowered its expectations, greatly increasing the hope that the plan will finally land.

Data map: On November 14, 2019, in the World Cup Asian Top 40, the national football team lost 1:2 away to Syria. The opponent scored the first goal in the game. After that, Wu Lei volleyed to equalize the score, and Zhang Linpeng accidentally got an own goal. The national football team fell behind again.

aims

　　"Actively explore the technical characteristics and tactical styles of the national team with Chinese characteristics. Clarify the tasks and goals of the national teams at all levels in the short, medium and long-term major international events. The men's national team strives to reach the top level in Asia and fully prepares for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers And 2023 Asian Cup, strive for new breakthroughs. The women's national team strives to reach the leading level in Asia, with the goal of participating in the Tokyo Olympics, and strive to achieve good results."

　　Since the beginning of this year, the Chinese Football Association has issued many documents, but it has never clearly updated its current phased goals.

Regardless of the development of the league or the national team, the setting of goals is undoubtedly one of the indispensable driving forces.

The latest measures introduced by the Football Association cover this level of content and also bring fans into the daydream.

　　The Chinese men's football team strives to reach the first-class level in Asia and "strives for new breakthroughs" in the World Cup and the Asian Cup; the Chinese women's football team, reaching the leading level in Asia, is pointing towards the Tokyo Olympics.

From the difficulty of achieving the goal, women's football is obviously more worth looking forward to than men's football...

Data map: On February 13, the final match of Group B of the Tokyo Olympic Women's Asian Qualifiers was held in Sydney, Australia. The Chinese women drew with the Australian team 1:1 and ranked second in the Olympic preliminaries.

　　In the first half of the Olympic preliminaries group stage, the host of the final match of the Chinese women's football team Australia was tied by opponents, and at the last moment missed the qualification to pass through Tokyo.

Next, "Clang Rose" will have a two-round duel with the old rival South Korea women's football team, and the winner will go to Tokyo for the Olympic Games.

Comparing the strengths of the two teams, the Chinese team is at least not at an absolute disadvantage. The Olympic journey will finally take place, which is by no means a dream.

　　As for men’s football, shortly after completing the draw for the World Preliminary Top 40 Asian Championship as the No. 8 seed and the first team, the Chinese team lost its Asian top 8 business card and replaced it with "War Football". Iraq.

Draw with the Philippines, lose to Syria, and the advent of the naturalization era still "cannot bring" the national football to the World Cup.

　　At present, the Chinese team cannot guarantee a ticket to the top 12.

After Lippi resigned for the second time, Li Tie was in charge of the coach, but this year was trapped by the epidemic, "Li Jiajun" has never been tested by international competitions, which adds more uncertainties to the future.

The greater the expectation, the greater the risk of disappointment. This logic has been repeatedly verified in the development trajectory of Chinese football.

Therefore, from the perspective of fans, instead of hoping for the national football to hit the top of Asia, it is better to grab a seat in the top 12.

Data map: Beijing time on July 9, the 35th round of La Liga Barcelona vs. Spaniards.

In the first half, both sides had no achievements. In the second half, Fati and Lozano were red, and the two sides played 10 on 10. Suarez took the lead and Wu Lei came off the bench in 85 minutes.

In the end, Barcelona sent the Spaniard 1:0 to relegation 3 rounds ahead of schedule.

Talent

　　"Develop and implement the "Going Out" plan for outstanding football players. Create conditions and establish incentive and guarantee mechanisms for outstanding domestic players to enter foreign high-level professional leagues."

　　At present, Chinese football's overseas representatives still have and only Wu Lei, and even the 2018 Super League Golden Shoe winner has to be relegated from La Liga with the Spaniard.

This year, Wu Lei was a bit unlucky. Not only was he contracted with the new crown pneumonia at one time, he was also approached by injuries after the new season started.

Today, he still has to do his best in the Spanish team as the main force. The "foreign pacesetter" from China is not optimistic.

　　Wu Lei should be one of the few Chinese players who have the ability to stay abroad in high-level leagues. Looking at the old rivals in East Asia, Japan and South Korea, studying abroad has long been commonplace. The Japanese and South Korean players who have mixed with the top five European league clubs are even more common. Emerge in endlessly.

Compared with them, Wu Lei is not well-known, but Chinese football is still in the bottom of waiting for the next Wu Lei.

　　But in fact, there are still some players in the country who have rumors with the five major league teams, but for different reasons, they ultimately failed to make a trip.

All the year round, he has been a major player in the country, holding a high-paying contract, and being in the comfort zone. Many objective factors have prevented domestic players from going abroad for training.

What the Chinese Football Association has to do in the future is perhaps to adopt policies to give players a push while eliminating their worries as much as possible.

Data Map: On the evening of September 10, 2019, Beijing time, in the 2022 World Cup Asian Qualifiers, the national team defeated the Maldives with a score of 5:0 and scored a good start.

　　"Strengthen Chinese cultural education for naturalized players and cultivate a sense of national identity."

　　After the implementation of the naturalization policy, naturalized players have become the other side of Chinese football, especially in the national team.

In terms of the source of power for the game, this special group is obviously different from domestic players, which also puts forward new requirements for the coordinated management of the Chinese Football Association.

Therefore, the newly introduced measures include cultural education for naturalized players.

　　As for how to mobilize naturalized players to contribute to Chinese football from their own heart, the Football Association also needs to start from the details and formulate a more in-depth implementation plan.

But in any case, since we have come to the path of naturalization, we should try our best to give priority to the naturalized players and try our best to tap their potential. Don't let the policy support eventually defeat the basket.

Youth training

　　"Continuously consolidate and improve the professional club elite youth reserve talent echelon construction system. Each club has at least 3-5 elite echelons. In 2023, it will develop to the Chinese Super League club with 9 elite echelons and the Chinese Premier club with 7 elite echelons."

　　The future always belongs to young people, and youth training is also a common topic of Chinese football.

At the end of last month, the Chinese Football Association issued a youth training program. The content mainly centers on development goals, concepts of competition and training, practical teaching, women's football youth training, and implementation plans. There are very detailed content under each frame.

　　From now on, until 2023, the Chinese Super League and the Chinese A team will further improve their respective echelon construction to meet the new standards proposed by the Chinese Football Association.

In the new measures, the Football Association has strictly regulated the number of elite echelons of the club. Now at levels 3-5, starting from 2023, the Chinese Super League club must have a 9-level elite echelon, and the Chinese A must also establish a 7-level echelon.

　　In addition, the Football Association will also establish a professional club youth training evaluation system to rate the club youth training work in terms of talent selection, training, competition, scientific research, hardware facilities and success rate, and link it with club access.

It is foreseeable that if the youth training is delayed, the club will face harsh punishment from the Football Association, and the price may be the qualification for the league in the new season.

Governance

　　"Reform and adjust the professional league management organization. Complete the registration and organization of the professional league management organization with independent corporate legal personality. The Chinese Football Association and the newly established professional league management organization clarify their responsibilities through their respective articles of association and mutual agreement, and the two parties exchange representatives Participate in the discussion and decision-making of relevant issues. The main person in charge of the professional league management organization is recommended by the Chinese Football Association."

　　The Chinese Super League, which was originally planned to be established this year, has redefined the timeline.

When the organization is established next year, it will be responsible for the management, operation and income distribution rights of the three-level professional leagues. It will have management autonomy in club access, competition organization, referee management, disciplinary punishment, dispute resolution, market development, and income distribution. right.

　　The Chinese Football Association continues to exclusively own the property rights and supervision rights of the three-level professional leagues of the Chinese Super League, China A and B, and is responsible for formulating the promotion and promotion system, youth training system, professional club financial management regulations, player salary policy, and player registration of the three-level professional league. The transfer system and foreign player policy.

　　In addition, the Football Association has set a time limit for the club’s "non-corporate" name change-all must be completed before the 2021 season, "If the change is not completed, the club registration qualification will be cancelled."

　　For "cities and regions with a developed economy and a good football foundation," the Chinese Football Association also outlined a blueprint for the future.

Support it to establish a football ecosystem with rich elements and complete systems covering youth training, football industry, professional clubs, regional leagues, venues and facilities, play a leading role in demonstration, and explore the development path of football with Chinese characteristics.
