As we all know, in order to allow more local players and young players to play, the Chinese Super League has specially restricted the limit of up to 3 foreign players appearing in each game and 1 U23 player must be present. Judging from the current implementation, the excitement of Chinese Super League has indeed declined to a certain extent compared to the previous "3+1" period of foreign players, but at the same time, there are also many U23 players such as Huang Zichang , Wei Shihao , and Liu Ruofan, who have emerged and have more training opportunities.

However, just when our Football Association implemented reforms to limit foreign players and promote U23 players, neighbor Japan went against us. According to the news from "National Sports", the J League Executive Committee held a meeting in Tokyo on the 24th to discuss the proposal to lift foreign players restrictions and the possibility of implementation next season.

J League Committee discussed the sensational effect of Podolski joining Kobe Victory Ship last year and the two world-class stars this season Iniesta and Torres joining J League again shocked the World Cup football world. The committee admitted: "This is the most exposed time since the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the J League."

J League's current foreign aid system is the "3+1+1" policy, that is, 3 foreign players, 1 Asian foreign player and 1 J League cooperative league foreign aid (Vietnam, Singapore , Myanmar , Malaysia , Thailand, Iran , Qatar and other 9 cooperative alliance countries), and up to 5 foreign players can appear in a game.

Thailand's number one star Dangda currently plays for Hiroshima

Dangda, known as "Thailand Ronaldo", has performed well in the J League leader Hiroshima Three Arrows . He scored 4 goals in 7 starts and 8 substitutes this season, and is an important substitute surprise. In addition, "Thai Messi" Songkrasin also firmly took the position of the main midfielder in Gonzado Sapporo.

However, judging from the starting situation of each team in the J League this season, the dependence of foreign players is quite low. The little demons listed the starting situation of the top four teams in the standings in the last round of the league.

Hiroshima is currently the first in the league, with 1 foreign player

Tokyo's first starter 1 foreign player

Kaosaki forward starter 2 foreign player

Hiroshima starter 2 foreign player

Osaka Sakura starter 2 foreign player

Hiroshima starter 2 foreign player

Through the current situation of the top 4 teams in the J League standings starting in the last round, the top team Hiroshima Three Arrows only has forward Patrick (12 goals in 17 games this season) and one foreign player starter. The second-place Tokyo FC also has a foreign aid forward Diego (10 goals in 16 games this season) started, while the Japanese champion Kawasaki forward last season has all the local players in the center and frontcourt, only the right back and goalkeeper are foreign players.

It can be seen that even if there is currently a "3+1+1" foreign aid use policy, most J League teams still prefer a starting lineup dominated by local players, and will not be like most teams in the Chinese Super League rely on foreign aid as the system to conquer the world. Most J League teams choose foreign players first need to adapt to the system, not your fame. The Tosu Sandstone where Torres is currently located is currently fighting for relegation, and the Kobe Victory Ship where Podolski and Iniesta are located is also in the mid-range level in the league.

So these mid- and downstream teams have introduced world-class stars from the club's perspective. On the one hand, they hope that their experience and ability will be CARRY team, while on the other hand, the influence they bring can bring income to the club in other aspects such as tickets, jerseys, peripherals, etc.

In fact, as early as the early days of the establishment of the J League, thanks to the support of the "superstar policy", many world-class big-name stars including Jiko , Leinker , Litbalski, Stoykovic , Kareka, Laudrupp and other world-class big-name stars once came to Japan to play.1993 was the first year of the professionalization of Japanese football. The 10 founding teams include Red Diamonds, Antlers and Garbage, which are well-known to Chinese fans. Since the most popular sport in Japan at that time was baseball, in order for more people to pay attention to football, the J League made a lot of recruits, and world-class veteran players landed one after another, contributing the last light and heat.

J League father Saburo Kawabuchi once said, "In the early days of the J League, professional coaches and professional players from abroad laid a good foundation for the development of Japanese football. They are heroes of Japanese football."

economically developed, big-name stars, and years of campus football accumulation, football quickly became popular in Japan, and Japanese local players were also improved under the influence of these superstars. The best proof is that in 1998, Japanese team entered the World Cup for the first time. Japanese football made great strides under the leadership of advanced international experience at that time. Japanese football "founded the country for the first time". Everything was so beautiful. These precious heritages continued to benefit Japanese football.

Due to past successful experience, the Japanese Football Association is now positive about the proposal to "abolition of restrictions on foreign aids". Because after signing a large broadcasting rights contract with a British media, the funds have become more abundant, and each club can have more financial resources to introduce excellent foreign aids. The performance of the Japanese team in this World Cup has also brought greater attention to the J League, which was already popular in the box office, in China.
