British media talk about the reasons for the decline of football in China: they only care about the present and don’t care about the future at all.

  Recently, according to the domestic media "Netease Sports" quoted the British media "The Sun" as a report, "The Sun" specially sent a long article to analyze the collapse of Super League football, pointing out the chaos behind China football. Although all views may not be correct, the attitude of onlookers is also worth learning and reflecting.

  The British media wrote: From a seemingly rising football power to a complete failure, the prosperity and collapse of football in China are so rapid and violent. At one time, China, like Saudi Arabia now, was the focus of football all over the world. In the 2016-17 season, the Super League began to burn unparalleled money. At that time, they were the most expensive leagues in the world. Super League teams use astronomical wages to attract top players to join, so as to become a football superpower and attract the attention of the world. Their expenses amounted to 320 million pounds, including signing an Oscar from Chelsea for 60 million pounds.

  When talking about football in China, Charles Cardoso, president of a club in Sao Paulo, Brazil, said that everyone believed that China people would do something important in football. China’s transfer market is absolutely crazy. Everyone wants to send their players there because there is plenty of money there. China people think that you can play football if you have money, but money is not the whole of football. You must have correct management and planning. They only care about the present and don’t care about the future at all.

  "The Super League just threw the money out, but it didn’t have any practical effect. For more than ten years, China football has been in ruins, and many football fields have been abandoned. Guangzhou Evergrande, the most successful team in the history of Super League, has a debt of up to 240 billion pounds. Many players didn’t get paid and sued FIFA. Suning Club directly closed down. " The article also mentioned. "In fact, the top-level idea of China managers is good, and the problem lies in the following planners and executors. These people don’t know what it means to host the World Cup, let alone win it. " Dr Rob Wilson, an expert on football finance in sheffield hallam university, believes that China people are trying to buy the gap in football development in the previous 150 years with money and want to win the World Cup. Facts have proved that this is impossible.

  In addition, the report also mentioned that in April 2020, Evergrande started construction of a stadium with a capacity of 100,000 people at a cost of 1.4 billion pounds in Guangzhou. Investor Xu Jiayin said that this stadium will become a world-class landmark building like Sydney Opera House and Burj Khalifa in Dubai. However, after half of the construction, the stadium was confiscated by the government and auctioned.

The Lakers sincerely renewed Davis’ contract, with an average salary of 62 million for three years and a record high of 186 million.

On August 4th, Beijing time, the NBA legend Woj reported that the Lakers had reached an early contract renewal with Anthony Davis, the core player in charge. The new contract is a super maximum salary contract with a salary of 186 million US dollars for three years and an average salary of 62 million US dollars. It is understood that Pelinka, the general manager of the Lakers, called Richie Paul, the agent of Thick Eyebrow, on the first day when he was eligible to sign and renew the contract, which shows that the management of the Lakers attached great importance to Thick Eyebrow, and that the 186 million yuan in three years was full of sincerity. After learning the top salary given by the Lakers, Thick Eyebrow almost agreed directly without any hesitation, which shows that the two sides are congenial.

Previously, the five-year average salary of 304 million signed by the Celtics and Jay Brown was 60.7 million, which was only a few days before the creation of NBA history, but it was broken by the average salary of 62 million. I have to say that the current salary level of the NBA is really high, and the speed of promotion is also very fast. At this rate, contracts with an average salary of more than 60 million will be everywhere in the future.

After the Lakers renewed their contract with Thick Eyebrows in advance, the cooperation between Thick Eyebrows and Lakers will last until 2028, with a total price of more than 270 million US dollars. This also means that the Lakers’ future salary space may be locked by the thick eyebrows and James. If there is no major transaction, the Lakers can only build a team around them in the future.

In fact, the combination of healthy thick eyebrows and healthy James still has a very good effect. The first time they partnered, they played the first record in the western regular season and won the championship. But then there was a problem with the Lakers’ team-building ideas. After Wei Shao formed the Big Three, the Lakers’ record did not go up and down. Just after trading Wei Shao, the Lakers went all the way to the Western Conference, which also gave the Lakers a chance to reflect.

Now, the Lakers are willing to provide Davis and James with a top salary contract, and how competitive role players they have strengthened this summer can prove that the Lakers have completely decided to build a team around Jamey and will not seek a third star to join. The success in the second half of last season also proved that only by maintaining the continuity and depth of the existing lineup can the Lakers go further. So what do you think of this? Welcome to pay attention to the comments, let’s discuss together!

Bo Yu said sports: Premier League Rome is considering hiring De Zerbi to replace Mourinho, but Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are also.

On the other hand, the defense has obviously regressed. The opponent’s shots per possession increased by 27%(0.10), and the average xG was similar. The number of goals per game in Manchester City increased from 0.7 to 1.0. Whether it’s because Guardiola tried his staff to make the best use of Harland-which, among other things, led to the bench of full-back Joao Cancelo and eventually loaned it to Bayern-or because of the conscious retreat of the World Cup in terms of pressure and efforts (Manchester City players played more time in Qatar than any other club), Manchester City’s pressure was more passive and ineffective. Excellent opponents are particularly comfortable and productive for them: in eight games against the top six teams in the Premier League, Manchester City scored a goal in 13 shots (81.10 times per game), worth 11.6 xG.

Please note that Manchester City also scored 19 goals and scored 13 points in these eight games, but Manchester City did not control the situation as usual. Put some terrible luck into a close game-in a game decided by 1-2 goals, the average score per game is 0.1 (the average score of the other four teams in England is 2.1)-and we can see how Manchester City has left the door for Arsenal to break in at present. This also brought RB Leipzig back to the first leg of their last 16 Champions League (final 1-1 draw), and there is still some work to be done before they can advance next week.
