Former Guangzhou Evergrande player Gao Lin recently put his river view mansion on the market, triggering heated discussions from the outside world. " Oriental Sports Daily " took this opportunity to write a report about the dilemma faced by Chinese Super League players after the salary limit. However, one of the players mentioned in this report did not buy into the so-called dilemma.
The luxury house Gao Lin listed this time is located in Zhujiang New Town . The house faces the Pearl River, and you can see the Guangzhou landmark Xiaomanyao through the window. In 2016, Gao Lin spent more than 40 million yuan to buy this 437-square-meter mansion, and now he is selling it for 145 million yuan, with a unit price as high as 330,000/㎡.
According to the "Eastern Sports" report, Gao Lin's annual salary exceeded 18 million yuan when he played for the Guangzhou Evergrande team. With bonuses and advertising income, he could earn at least 20 million yuan a year. At that time, even though he was carrying dozens of dollars every month A mortgage of 10,000 yuan is also stress-free. But now, the Shenzhen team that Gao Lin plays for is in arrears with wages, and Gao Lin's income has dropped sharply, and is no longer one-tenth of what it was at its peak.
Even if Gao Lin's income declines, he still has 145 million yuan in assets that can be cashed out. "Eastern Sports" further stated that other players are facing even more difficulties. The newspaper said: After the salary limit in the Super League, Zhejiang team's Zhang Jiaqi, Zhu Ting of the Dalian team, Yu Ziqian, the former Shanghai team Tian Junjie of Team Shenxin once drove an online car-hailing service, and some players even sold branded sneakers provided by previous sponsors on second-hand platforms. Life was not easy.
"Eastern Sports" article lamenting the "difficulty of life" of the players immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction among fans, because the annual income of these players during the Jinyuan Football Period was something that many people would not be able to earn in their lifetime, and it was limited. Their salary level after salary is still beyond the reach of ordinary office workers. Even if they are owed wages, their previous savings are enough for these players to live a very comfortable life.
It is normal for fans to be dissatisfied, but what is unexpected is that Yu Ziqian, who was mentioned in the report, was also angry. He posted such an angry reply on his social account:
You can see, Yu Ziqian was very dissatisfied with the report that he went to drive an online ride-hailing service, and directly attacked the author of the article personally.
What is puzzling is that "Eastern Sports" wrote such an article to complain about players' salary restrictions and to speak out for the interests of players. Even if the content is not true, it makes Yu Ziqian feel embarrassed. There is no need for him to scold the person who speaks for him so harshly.
Yu Ziqian may have realized this later. When this article was published, he had deleted the blog post.
Saburo Kawabuchi, the former head of the Japanese Football Association , recently said in an exclusive interview with my country's Complacent with the status quo and lacking enterprising spirit, players have no motivation to go global and compete with stronger opponents, which ultimately hinders the progress and development of Chinese football.
I wonder if everyone agrees with Saburo Kawabuchi’s point of view? Correspondingly, domestic media like "East Sports" are still fabricating content to make the players miserable, which is really outrageous. Even though the rights and interests of Chinese players on the issue of unpaid wages should be protected, their lives But it's not miserable at all. It's no wonder that the players who were betrayed couldn't stand it.
