On May 24, Beijing time, in the 7th round of the 2021 China League One, Zibo Cuju against Xinjiang Tianshan Snow Leopards, the injury stoppage time period was held. He Shihua, the No. 10 player of Zibo Cuju team, came on as a substitute. Two minutes later, the whole game ended and the two teams fought 1:1.
This is He Shihua's second appearance this season. The last time was in the 90th minute of the match against Sichuan Jiuniu in Zibo Cuju. The two teams played 0:0 in that game.
Another identity of this No. 10 player is the boss of Sichuan Huakun Energy Co., Ltd. and the investor of the current custodian of Zibo Cuju team. "The boss buys a professional team and plays on his own in the official game." This is not a joke, but a reality.
rules are not restricted by those without professional backgrounds who have no professional backgrounds to register as "professional players"
Previously, according to reports from "Red Star News" and "Sike Football", He Shihua, born in 1985, did not have a professional football background. It is reported that He Shihua signed up for a B-A team when he was a child, but he failed due to some reasons. This may be He Shihua's "only contact" with professional teams earlier.
It is indeed feasible in terms of rules that such a "pure amateur player" can be on the stage of the professional arena. According to the "Regulations on Player Identity and Transfer Management of Chinese Football Association" issued in 2015, there is no threshold for professional players in the "Player Registration". In the first few years of professionalization, players still need to conduct physical tests when they go to work, and they can only play football after passing physical tests.
So, He Shihua was registered in the Football Association and appeared in the professional league, and in terms of rules, there is no problem.
Although the Football Association has not refused amateur players to participate in professional leagues in terms of rules, in practice, very few professional clubs sign amateur players. After all, real professional teams won't joke about their results.
"compliance" does not mean "reasonable". He Shihua set a precedent
Although He Shihua's appearance is "compliant", it does not mean that such behavior is "reasonable". Although Chinese professional football has been criticized for its "pseudo-professional" and "low level", it still has certain industry standards. Many professional players have been selected from their peers since childhood, and have gone through many choices and risks. After years of hard training, they have played professional football. This is enough to show that the threshold for this industry is not low.
As an ordinary person who has not undergone too much professional training, because he is an investor, he forcibly participates in this industry with a ability far below the industry standards. This is itself an eye-catching news, and He Shihua can be said to have set a precedent.
Perhaps someone will give the examples of former Shenhua team investor Zhu Jun and Jilin Baijia investor Xu Guangnan to illustrate that previous investors participated in the competition was a precedent in China. Although these two people do not have professional backgrounds, there is a difference between these two people and He Shihua - Zhu Jun has played in friendly matches and played in "game addiction"; Xu Guangnan's two appearances were in the third-level professional league in the China League Two, which is a "semi-amateur" nature, and both are two games that have nothing to do with the ranking, one is a qualifying match and the other is a successful relegation.
Some people will also give an example of Liaoning Shenyang City Team investor Zhuang Yi playing in the China League Two and scored a penalty kick, but Zhuang Yi himself is a very high-level former international player.
He Shihua played in the official match of the Chinese League One in the China League One in the early stages of the league. This is something that no one has ever seen before.
Previously, in an interview with Football, Zibo Cuju coach Huang Hongyi said: "The boss registration will not have any impact on his platoon arrangement, because the boss has made it clear for a long time and will definitely not affect the team's preparation and game." But from the actual game, He Shihua's appearance timing is very interesting - in the 7 rounds of games that have been held, Zibo Cuju has drawn 2 and lost 5 games without a win, and He Shihua did not play in the 5 lost games, and He Shihua appeared in the injury stoppage time of the two draws. During the limited game time, He Shihua didn't even have a chance to touch the ball, but "helping the team score when they appear" is really like that.
"True Love Football"? Will the practice have an impact on the team?
There are also many people who say that the boss has invested money with real money, and it means he really loves football. This is understandable. When the Chinese football environment is cold, there should be more bosses who love football like him.
But this approach still has some impact on professional football!
Last season, Zibo Cuju was still united in the face of wage arrears and rushed to China League One from China League Two. The original Zibo Cuju team formed a good interactive relationship with local fans from coaches to players. Before the start of the China League One this season, the original investor of Zibo Cuju team was still unsustainable and was about to be disqualified from registration. At this time, Sichuan Huakun appeared in the form of a custody party, but a difficult problem is how to solve the signature of the "Salary and Bonus Confirmation Form". With the mediation and commitment of Zibo, the players who were owed wages signed one after another, and the Football Association passed the access level; but when these players originally thought they could get the owed wages and continue to play football in Zibo Cuju, they found that they were facing them "termination".
In other words, Huakun used the trust of the original players to preserve the shell of the China League One.
In this regard, Huakun once explained that the ability of new players to sign is stronger than that of the original players who have entered the China League One, and the team's strength will definitely be improved compared to before, which reflects their determination to invest in this team for a long time. However, this team currently has only 2 draws and 5 losses, ranking second from the bottom in the China League One, which is very weak; and amateur player He Shihua wore the No. 10 jersey and appeared in the team, which was even more slapped Hua Kun in the face. He Shihua once said in an interview: "For the current arrangements of coaching staff and players, we will adhere to one principle - market principle, which is to respect and follow the budget standards and salary standards of our investors."
In addition, depending on whether the investors want to engage in football for a long time rather than speculation, they will definitely consider their relationship with local fans. However, the reality is that Huakun's approach of almost changing teams still hurts the feelings of Zibo fans. Nowadays, in the comments below Zibo Cuju Weibo, local fans have been scolding. Will such a club gain a foothold in Zibo in the future? Can we "build Zibo's city business card" as He Shihua said in an interview? Or slowly withdraw from the football circle?
Sichuan Huakun originally invested in a Chinese championship team and made it to the China League Two last season. He Shihua was also a registered player of this team. But in 2021, after Huakun bought Zibo Cuju at the bottom, he transferred the original team and changed the team to Sichuan Minzu. Compared with many truly passionate and ideal investors who slowly build a low-level team into a competitive team and give back to the local government and fans, Huakun's approach is something that he has commented on.
