Chapter 223 Slap the face hard
Although the national football team is not good, domestic fans always want to stop him. Although they are so angry that they can't make a big deal, as long as there are national football matches, everyone still has to pay attention. Of course, the end is just a heartache.
Not long ago, Forbes magazine revealed that there is a super rich man in China who can rank among the top ten of the global rich list. Moreover, this super rich man is still very interested in football and bought the Premier League giant Manchester United, which Chinese fans like very much. These Chinese fans have hope for Chinese football, so they put their hopes on Jiang Feng.
But who expected that Jiang Feng would rather invest in the women's football team and set up a women's football club than invest in the men's football team. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Chinese men's football team?
And it made many fans even more amused and amused. Jiang Feng then announced that his "Jiangshi Biotechnology Company" will invest RMB 100 million to name the Women's Football League next season, and the contract is three years, with a total sponsorship amount of RMB 300 million. This year, the cost of Siemens' A-League A is only US$8 million, which is less than RMB 70 million, which is far less than Jiang Feng's 100 million sponsorship fee.
At the same time, Jiang Feng also reached an agreement with the General Administration of Sports of China that all the money he sponsored should be used to improve the environment of the women's football clubs and that the men's football team cannot be subsidized. Otherwise, Jiang Feng will withdraw the investment immediately, and Jiang Feng has the right to cancel the remaining two years of contract.
Jiang Feng was a little helpless when he did this.
The only thing that can be used by Chinese football today is the women's football team. After all, they have won the runner-up in the Women's World Cup.
However, Jiang Feng knew better that even the only women's football team that could make moves will gradually decline in the next few years, until it became a second-rate team in Asia and could not even participate in the Olympics.
The reason is that in addition to the system constraints, the poor living environment of women's football team is also a reason that must be mentioned.
The successful examples of many developed football countries show that the national team should be based on the league, especially in countries where football has been professionalized. Although my country's women's football league has also been professionalized, the development path is very uneven. Due to the poor performance of the national team over the years, the women's football league has not been paid attention to and cannot attract social capital sponsorship. This has led to poor treatment for women's football practitioners, and fewer players and coaches engaged in women's football sports, and the league lacks strong support for the national team level. Therefore, women's football sports have embarked on a vicious cycle.
In the first few years of professionalization of the Women's Football League, the home and away system was implemented. Although the number of fans was not too large and the sponsors invested less, it could barely be maintained. Later, as the results were getting worse, the capital investment of some teams began to decrease, so they could not cope with the expenses of away games. Later, the Women's Football League was changed to a tournament system, with several competition areas set up each season, and each team went to a certain competition area and came to an end.
The consequence of this is that some teams lack local fans and media attention, it is even more difficult for them to gain favor from social capital. In the long run, the teams have fallen into an embarrassing situation where no one cares about them and no one applauds.
The internal and external environment of women's football sports is extremely severe, resulting in fewer and fewer players and coaches willing to participate. The team is in a storm. After playing this year's game, I don't know where the way out next year is. In addition, many coaches are unwilling to coach the women's football team. They work hard for a year and can't make much money. However, when they find a position in the men's football team, they earn more than 100,000 yuan a year, and hundreds of thousands is not a problem.
At present, there are only a dozen women's football teams in my country, and there are only about 1,000 registered women's football athletes; while there are more than 1,000 women's football teams in Japan, and there are tens of thousands of registered athletes. The small number of participants directly leads to low levels and few good seedlings. Former Chinese women's football coach Shang Ruihua said bluntly: "The players in our league are all big-footed, and the ground ball is basically unbearable. What excellent players can a league of this level train?"
Not only are the number of women's football players, but they are also not well treated. Jiang Feng still remembers that in his previous life, he heard a news that the women's football players in Jiangzhou were participating in training outside. It was the Chinese New Year and could not buy train tickets when they went home. If they wanted to buy air tickets, they would not get permission from the Jiangzhou Football Association because they had no money.
It is precisely because of these memories that Jiang Feng had such an idea when Wei Hongjun mentioned football.
However, Jiang Feng's move undoubtedly slapped the Chinese men's football team in the face, and the Football Association was slapped hard.
The women's football team has always been a weaker party, and they are far from comparable to men's football team, whether it is sponsorship or treatment. As a result, as soon as Jiang Feng took action, the women's football team's treatment immediately rose. Although they are far from comparing with men's football team in personal treatment, they are far better than before. Moreover, because of the excellent performance of the Chinese women's football team in the third Women's World Cup four years ago, the women's football team is now attracting attention in China and has begun to slowly catch up with men's football team.
At this time, Jiang Feng's next action came again. This action made the Football Association, including the men's football team, lose face.
Jiangzhou Municipal Government Press Office.
For a long time, Wei Hongjun has not seen so many reporters appear in Jiangzhou City. Today, reporters from all over the country gathered here, and even many overseas reporters flew over just to attend today's press conference.
This is the celebrity effect! Wei Hongjun had to sigh. So many reporters attended today's press conference today, which naturally did not give face to Jiangzhou Municipal Government, but to give face to Jiang Feng, the protagonist of today's press conference.
In the past two days, Jiang Feng returned to Jiangzhou City, and many reporters did not come with him. After all, Jiang Feng returned to Jiangzhou City, maybe he inspected the Jiangzhou Shicheng International Airport under construction, or maybe he went home to visit relatives. Jiang Feng is not a star after all, and many reporters are not interested in reporting everything. Readers will not like to watch the trivial things in Jiangfeng's life. What readers like to read gossip and explosive news.
Just after many reporters neglected these two days, Jiang Feng first announced the establishment of a women's football club in Jiangzhou City, which is a women's football club!
When he learned that Jiang Feng was preparing to set up a women's football club in Jiangzhou City, many reporters were thunder.
This is incredible. How could Jiang Feng invest in the women's football team?!
Just when many reporters were watching, Jiangfeng's "Jiangshi Biotechnology Company" invested another RMB 100 million to sponsor the Women's Football League, exceeding the naming rights of the Chinese Men's Football League. This is the first time that the sponsorship fee of the Women's Football League exceeds that of the Men's Football League.
In just two days, Jiang Feng made such a big noise, which made many reporters regret it. For these two sensational news events, reporters from all over the country could only refer to the content written by reporters in Jiangzhou City, and add a little bit of fuel to the fire, making it extremely difficult for many reporters who claim to be big newspapers. Therefore, today, when Jiang Feng held another press conference, he immediately heard about the news and rushed to Jiangzhou City.
Just as many reporters were about to ask Jiang Feng again, Jiang Feng had already announced the end of the press conference and got up and left. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe to (this site) and give me rewards. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
