In the last round of the Chinese Super League, many teams were locked in a life-or-death battle for relegation. Four of them, TEDA, Changchun, Chongqing, and Dalian, all had 32 points. However, TEDA played against Evergrande, which had no desire for anything, and Chongqing faced the last place, which had been relegated. In Guizhou, only Dalian and Changchun are really a life and death battle.
For Dalian Yifang , this ending is really ironic. "Dalian Evening News" pointed out: The Football Association has proposed a new U23 policy, forcing U23 players from all teams to play. Dalian Yifang is the team that implements the Football Association's policy most actively. The three members of the team, Li Shuai, Wang Yaopeng, Wang Jinxian, have been trained into the main players of the club. However, these three main players were transferred to the national team for training and were unable to play at the crucial moment of relegation. Three main players were suddenly missing and they had to engage in a life-and-death battle for relegation. How could their strength not be affected?
So can Dalian apply to transfer the third general from the national training team? This is also not feasible. As we all know, the national training team has been intensively training in the past two months and has not touched the ball. Even if they return to the team, their condition will be greatly affected and they will not be able to be put into use immediately. Therefore, there is no point in coming back. We have to let the three national players continue to participate in military training in the national training team. It is Dalian who "sacrificed for the country."
But the problem is that many teams are coping with the Football Association's new U23 policy. The U23 players were replaced after 10 minutes of playing. So this time the U23 players were transferred for training. The other players who were transferred were not the main players. , and because Dalian cooperated with the New Deal, U23, which became the main force, was removed, and as a result, it was most likely to be relegated. If they all do this, who will actively respond to national policies in the future? Who will give priority to national interests?
Dalian’s experience is actually a prominent contradiction in the professional era and the national system. When Xu Genbao formed the second national team, no team was willing to send players - who would be willing to send players, and then the second national team would participate in the league and in turn beat themselves? Genbao 's memoirs said that when the second national team was formed, all the "leftovers" that the local team did not want were recruited.
In order to take care of the enthusiasm of each team to provide talents to the national team, the Football Association introduced a "bonus point" policy at that time: Provincial and municipal teams participating in the First League will add 1 point for each international player they contribute. If the international player is jointly trained by the two places, Then add 0.5 points each.
The 1988 National League A was the first time in the history of the Chinese Football League that "extra points" appeared: The Liaoning team had many international players, and the extra points reached 6.5, and finally won the championship.
At that time, Xu Genbao’s second national team also participated in the league. In Genbao’s memoirs, he was very proud that the second national team won the runner-up for the first time in the league. He specifically pointed out: If there are no extra points, then his country will win the championship. Second team!
However, the bonus point policy does not fairly reflect the losses of each team - for example, the Liaoning team has many soldiers and generals. Liaoning Province has always been a big football province, enough to form two or three strong first-class teams. Drawing a few national players will speed up the process. It has limited the Liaoning team's training of young players, so it doesn't care how many players are drawn or how many points are added.
On the other hand, some relegation teams, such as the Shaanxi team, the whole team's style of play is defensive counterattack , centered around the center Wang Baoshan - today's famous Chinese football coach Wang Baoshan was the pillar of the Shaanxi team back then.
"Wang Mudu" at that time could score more than 10 goals a year and was the backbone of the Shaanxi team. However, when the national team beat Wang Baoshan, it was equivalent to taking away 10 goals from the Shaanxi team. The Shaanxi team's tactical play could no longer be maintained. If you add 1 point to the Shaanxi team, it will definitely be relegated, which does not help at all.
A good mechanism is to encourage those who make contributions, rather than letting "the more you work, the more you suffer". The greater the contribution, the greater the disadvantage. If the Football Association does not do more research and research before promulgating policies, listen to opinions from all sides, and just make decisions based on brainstorming, then the more policies there will be, the more mistakes will be made, and in the end it will no longer be able to be implemented.
