Many people have complained that the broadcast picture of the Chinese Super League is much uglier than the English Premier League. If you are a senior fan, you will find that compared to the Premier League, the Chinese Super League is separated by a runway between the football lawn and the audience. This runway not only separates the players from the audience, affects the viewing experience, but also allows the broadcast screen to see It looks like a school athletics.
This is because Chinese football games are often played in comprehensive stadiums. The so-called comprehensive stadium can be understood as an upgraded version of the school playground, the middle football lawn, the other end of the football stadium, and other project facilities such as long jump shots. The periphery is a circle. Plastic runway.
European football competitions use professional football fields, and the entire stadium has only football-related facilities. From the perspective of the fans, of course, it is more atmosphere to watch the matches in professional football stadiums; from the perspective of the government, the construction of the stadium must take into account various sports.
Therefore, the comprehensive stadium is basically built by the local government, and the professional football stadium is built by the team. For a simple comparison, 15 of the 20 teams in the Premier League have their own stadium, while only 16 of the 16 teams in the Chinese Super League have their own stadium, or a comprehensive stadium bought through auction.
Today, there are more than 1,000 large stadiums in China, but there are only five professional football stadiums, all of which are built by the local government. Because the Chinese football industry is not developed, building professional football stadiums is bound to lose money.
In other words, lack of money is the biggest reason for the lack of professional football fields.
It can be understood that the government ca n’t spend taxpayers ’money arbitrarily, so why do n’t real estate developers who spend a lot of money when buying foreign aid build their own professional football fields?
The answer is simple, there is no need to spend this money.
The Chinese Super League is the world ’s most loss-making football league, but the bosses are still willing to throw a lot of money. Of course, what they see is not the revenue of football itself, but the off-site value it can bring. Everyone has a very clear understanding of this.
Therefore, for the investment of foreign aid, coaches who can make immediate results, the clubs with strong funds are not hesitant. As for the extra cost of the stadium, it can naturally save money.
However, fans do not have to be discouraged. In order to meet the upcoming World Cup, some teams such as Guangzhou Evergrande have put plans to build professional football stadiums. In the near future, China's football infrastructure will become more and more perfect. By that time, Chinese football is bound to take off.
