The Football Association has not announced the admission list for a long time. It turns out that they are still waiting.

On March 22, waiting has become the theme of the entire Chinese football world. All day long, people have been waiting for the Chinese Football Association and the Professional League Organizing Committee to announce the list of admissions to the third-level league for the new season. However, after waiting for a full day from morning to night, this "boot" still has not landed. According to the previously scheduled Chinese Super League schedule, there is now less than a month left before the opening day of the new season on April 20. So it is not difficult to predict that such a wait will not be too long, but in this last short wait, some people are full of hope, some are uneasy, and some are suffering...

The first one waiting It is undoubtedly the Chinese Football Association. In fact, early in the morning on March 22, rumors began to circulate that the Chinese Football Association and the Professional League Organizing Committee would announce the admission list for the third-level league that day. The time point in the news was "March On the afternoon of the 22nd, March 23rd at the latest.” Now it seems that this list will be announced at the latest time. However, under the repeated reports of the media, the situation of admission to the third-level league is already very clear, but why does the Football Association have to wait one more day? According to the initial requirements of the Chinese Football Association, each team should submit the salary confirmation form to the Chinese Football Association before 17:00 on January 29. Since then, some clubs have submitted applications to the Chinese Football Association for late submission of confirmation forms due to operational difficulties. In addition, there have been problems with the confirmation forms submitted by many clubs. For this reason, the Chinese Football Association has specifically postponed the submission time to 17:00 on February 28. At the same time, it requires clubs that postpone the submission of confirmation forms to submit a "Description of Unsigned Situation", "Detailed Solution", and " "Shareholder Guarantee Commitment" are three written documents. But even on February 28, when the Jiangsu club officially announced that it would cease operations, the Football Association still did not announce the admission list immediately after the "deadline" on the 28th, and did not even complete the admission to the third-level league in the legendary two weeks. Review, but still waiting... So what is the Football Association waiting for? In fact, it is to gain more "self-rescue time" for those teams that are preparing to withdraw, hoping that there will be one less team that will eventually withdraw from the league. But obviously, this time cannot be extended indefinitely.

Of course, the main reason why the Chinese Football Association has not announced the admission list is still the Jiangsu team. In fact, like the Football Association, the defending champion is also waiting. In an interview with CCTV a few days ago, Chen Xuyuan, chairman of the Chinese Football Association, mentioned that "the organizational structure of the Jiangsu club is still there, and investors may be interested. Everything depends on the work situation these days." It is not difficult to hear that the Football Association is How I don’t want last season’s Chinese Super League champion to disappear from Chinese football like this. It is also in the past few days that new potential investors have indeed extended an olive branch to Jiangsu Club. However, this company, which is similar to a financial institution or investment company, failed to negotiate with the Jiangsu Club. There are some bright spots that led to the deadlock in the negotiations. First, the intended investor was unwilling to bear part of the club's debt; second, the company's economic strength was not reassuring. There were even reports that the company had gone through Calculations actually believe that investing in football clubs in China can be profitable. After the negotiations failed, Jiangsu Club still failed to wait for the opportunity to "come back to life".

In addition to the Jiangsu team, according to current statements, five teams in the third-tier league will disappear from Chinese football this year, and except for the Jiangsu team that is still working hard at the last moment, these five teams Most of the teams in the team have been "de facto disbanded", but they did not officially announce it as early as Taizhou Yuanda. In fact, in the final analysis, these clubs are waiting for this window paper to be pierced by the Chinese Football Association. For example, Beijing Chengfeng (formerly Beijing Renhe), which was demoted from the Chinese League One to the Chinese League Two last season, has made up for its previous salary arrears, but they have not submitted admission materials to the Chinese Football Association. Today, the training base of Beijing Chengfeng Club has been abandoned, the club is empty, and all echelons have been disbanded. The team's star Cao Yongjing has joined Beijing Guoan, and other players have also found homes.

Perhaps, when the Chinese Football Association announces the admission list, Chengfeng Club will issue an announcement to withdraw to comfort the public, or perhaps they will disappear silently from Chinese football without saying a word.

Of course, compared to these teams that have been "de facto disbanded", those teams waiting for replacements will be more anxious. The Cangzhou Lions and Zhejiang have been regarded by the outside world as supplementary teams to enter the Chinese Super League a long time ago, and they are indeed preparing for the Chinese Super League. For example, the Cangzhou Lions currently train with the team, including Guo Hao, Liu Yang, Zheng Kaimu, Xie Pengfei and Abdulhamiti, who played for the Jinmen Tigers and Jiangsu last season. In addition, Ahmedov is also considered to join the team. Obviously, the Cangzhou Lions have prepared a Chinese Super League lineup. However, none of these players have officially announced their joining, and what the club is waiting for is actually the admission list from the Chinese Football Association. Compared with the Cangzhou Lions, the Zhejiang team, which is ranked second as a replacement, has become even more uneasy in recent days. They have previously introduced domestic players such as Yao Junsheng, Gaudi and Gu Chao, but this level of signings is not enough to compete in the Chinese Super League. This is mainly because the Zhejiang team has not yet received a supplementary notice from the Chinese Football Association, because just in the past two days, the Jiangsu team is still working hard to "come back to life." I am afraid that the Zhejiang team is now the team in the country that most hopes that the admission list will be released as soon as possible. After all, this is related to their positioning, investment and signings this year.

When a team quits, there will naturally be players who need to find new jobs. In fact, the players are also waiting now. In a team that is on the verge of disbandment, there are still only a few players who can find a new club. Most players still hope that they can return to their free agency as soon as possible. Being free one day earlier will increase the hope of finding a new job. The good news is that the Chinese Football Association has planned to extend the domestic transfer period again. The closing date has been postponed from March 26 to April 9. This decision is mainly to take into account the personnel reinforcement needs of the upgraded teams, and at the same time allow some players who have lost the team to have more time to find new players. owner. In addition, many players whose clubs are on the verge of quitting are also worried about the wages they are owed. Especially in order for the team to stay in the league, many players signed the salary and bonus confirmation form without receiving salary bonuses. In this case, how players can claim their wages and whether their legitimate rights and interests can be safeguarded will also become a new issue that tests the Chinese Football Association and the professional leagues.

Of course, among all the people, the mood of the fans is probably the most complicated. For those fans of teams that hope to be promoted, their mood at this time is full of expectation and joy; On the contrary, for the fans of teams that are about to withdraw from the league, or even disappear from Chinese football completely, they are now saying their final farewell to the team. In fact, whether they are fans of the new Chinese Super League champion Jiangsu team or those whose home team has many years of history, when they knew that the team was about to withdraw, they were full of surprise, confusion, and even anger. way to express their demands and speak out for the home team. However, in the current Chinese football environment, the voices of fans cannot influence the life or death of a club at all. After three months of suffering, when the team was "dying", the attitude of the fans also changed from indignation at the beginning to sadness now. Now, the only thing they are waiting for is an official announcement from the club, and then officially say "goodbye" to the home team they have supported for many years...
