Signal Hill: Qingdao Dalian temporarily bid farewell to the Chinese Super League Football City and cannot live on “business cards” jqknews

When the whole year is not running smoothly, it is really impossible to expect a rebound. The Qingdao team, which finally sent the main force to play in the battle of life and death, failed to break the Zhejiang team’s goal in the end, lost 1 goal in two rounds, and was sadly relegated to the Chinese League One. That night, snowflakes floated in the night sky of Qingdao, as if sending off the team. At the same time, in another venue, the Dalian natives lost to Chengdu Rongcheng. Two famous football cities in China said goodbye to the Chinese Super League on the same day.

Whenever the fans of Qingdao and Dalian talk about local stars, the pride and pride that is so familiar can be said to be the “ceiling” of domestic fans. However, the operation of the club cannot only rely on the “business card” of the football city. In recent years, the Qingdao team relies more on a group of veterans to support the team, which is dubbed U35 by fans; while the Dalian team can be called Home Alone , In the play-offs on the 12th, there were as many as 11 U23 players in the starting and bench. Although these veterans and teenagers are mostly from local youth training, but lack of ready-to-play players in their seasons, it is difficult to remain competitive in the top leagues for a long time.

Two years in the Chinese Super League have passed in a hurry. For the Qingdao team and Qingdao fans, the biggest regret is not being able to fight together at home. The epidemic can only separate the physical distance between people. However, the fans’ hearts are always on the team. No matter which stadium they are in, as long as they represent Qingdao, they are the focus of the fans of the island city.

This year’s Chinese Super League has been severely cut and curtailed in order to make way for the national team’s training and competition. The establishment of the salary cap has caused a large number of star foreign aid to leave. The attention and commercial value of the Chinese Super League are visibly declining. In the face of this situation, the sponsors of various clubs are also constantly withdrawing, which makes the club’s survival pressure unprecedented. Encountered the problem of arrears of wages, players can not get wages for a long time, the state of the game and cohesion can be imagined. Whether it is relegation or relegation, for most small and medium-sized clubs, survival is the most realistic goal in the next period of time.

Although the football youth training in Qingdao and Dalian has a solid foundation, no matter how many good seedlings are cultivated, it is difficult to retain them without a good development platform. Fans are very open to this. After all, players eat their youth, and it is only natural to pursue honor and income on a better platform, and they cannot “kidnap” players with their hometown complex. Playing for hometown is a plus only if they receive similar contractual benefits.

With the passing of the Chinese Super League Jinyuan era, Shandong Taishan won the league and FA Cup double this season, which further proves the necessity of attaching importance to youth training and is more in line with the law of football development. For Qingdao and Dalian, they have the advantages of profound football heritage and only need a stable and good development environment, and it is a matter of time before they return to the Chinese Super League.

After years of hard work, the mentality of Qingdao fans has become very Buddhist. I look forward to the rejuvenation of Qingdao football, and the fans can afford it. What is important is the current and future road, how to take it, polish the business card of Football City, and make it more worthy of its name. Next season’s China League One, 3 Qingdao teams and 6 Qingdao Derbys, who will have more fans and who will have better development prospects, time will give the answer.
