On the second day of Lin Feng's Weibo, soon, news came that Guangzhou Evergrande was communicating with Longteng Club about Lin Feng's transfer.

Of course, it was not only Guangzhou Evergrande that was revealed to be in contact with Lin Feng, including Shanghai SIPG, Shanghai Shenhua, Beijing Guoan, Jiangsu Suning, which is about to change its owner from Shuntian to Suning, and even Huaxia Happiness, which has just been promoted to the Chinese Super League for the second time.

Lin Feng suddenly became the most dazzling one in the transfer market, and at the same time, he basically booked the domestic transfer bid for the season.

Traditionally, the Chinese Super League's winter transfer window has always started in January each year, but the reality is that clubs and players are often already in action in the final rounds of the season - unless there is still the task of relegation or winning the championship or qualifying for the AFC Champions League.

This season, because of the strength of the Longteng team, there is no suspense about winning the championship very early, and at the same time, the relegation is almost clear in the penultimate and third rounds, and the only suspenseful AFC Champions League qualification issue is actually the overall situation, so in the last few rounds of the league, the news about the transfer of various clubs has been flying all over the sky.

When the Longteng team was still working hard for the AFC Champions League championship, the transfer rumors of international players including Wu Xi had been hyped, and the gossip that Brazilian star Kaka, Romanian international Alibec, and Mexican international Marco Fabian had received offers from Chinese teams was also well known.

But as soon as Lin Feng's transfer rumors came out, they overwhelmed all transfers, and even the revolutionary rules issued by the Chinese Football Association prohibiting cross-regional transfers of teams did not have the greater influence of Lin Feng's transfer.

In fact, in Zhang Sheng's view, it is not a good policy for professional clubs to prohibit inter-provincial and cross-city transfers, but at this stage, it seems that the professionalization and de-enterprise of Chinese football are still very effective, and such a phased important policy is far more important than individual transfers.

The transfer and renaming of football clubs is a very common thing in China.

In just 10 years, there have been as many as 127 transfers, relocations, dissolutions, bankruptcies, etc., and if you count from the beginning of the entire professionalization of football, in the past 21 years, there have been nearly 200 transfers of Chinese football clubs.

Many clubs often change their names once a year, and some clubs even change cities in a few years, the most such as Guizhou Renhe team, from Shanghai to Xi'an, then from Xi'an to Guiyang, and finally from Guiyang to Beijing, becoming the famous "Renhe and Wanderers Team".

And the people and things in Guizhou are not a single case.

Like Guangzhou R&F, from Shenyang to Changsha, from Changsha to Shenzhen, and finally from Shenzhen to Guangzhou, the name is also constantly changing between Shenyang Jinde, Changsha Jinde, Shenzhen Phoenix, and Guangzhou R&F.

Like Shanghai Shenxin, from Shanghai to Nanchang, and from Nanchang back to Shanghai, the name change is also very frequent, Shanghai Jinmao, Shanghai Hengyuan, Nanchang Bayi Hengyuan, Nanchang Hengyuan to the last Shanghai Shenxin, many fans don't know and think it is several different teams.

There are also some clubs although the owner has not changed, the name of the club has not changed, but there are not many places to run, such as Harbin Yiteng, their historical walking route is Dalian - Harbin - Yantai - Dalian - Harbin - Zhejiang Shaoxing, from the northernmost part of China to East China, it is really "hard".

The Chinese Football Association has long been concerned about this phenomenon, and before the 2015 season started, the Football Association had the idea of "prohibiting the inter-provincial transfer of clubs", but it was stranded due to the suspicion of opponents, and in September 2015, at the Chinese Super League meeting, someone raised the matter.

In view of the fact that some opponents held big slogans that were contrary to the marketization and professionalism of football, they eventually gave up.

But by the end of this season, whether it is the Chinese Super League, the Chinese Football Association or the Chinese Second Division, there are a large number of teams that are ready to sell the team and change the address after getting the shell resources, and the Chinese Football Association finally can't help it, and this time this rule was introduced.

The Football Association also has considerations. The situation in Chinese football is better now than it has been historically. With regard to the opponents' claims that there is a possibility that individual clubs will be disbanded due to the inability to transfer, the Football Association believes that even if there is a dissolution, the players of these clubs will be quickly absorbed by other clubs.

When I went to Japan for an inspection, I strengthened the idea of the Football Association.

This year, the Chinese Football Association organized representatives of the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League to visit Japan, and the Football Association specifically asked the Japanese Football Association and professional league officials how to deal with the transfer of clubs in Japan. The Japanese Football Association is very puzzled by this issue, saying that the club is part of the culture of the city, and the localization is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it is impossible for a transfer to occur.

The Japanese Football Association official also specifically emphasized that only when the club takes root in one region can it truly achieve stable and healthy development, otherwise it will affect the overall football situation of the whole country.

It can be said that the backwardness of Chinese football makes them vibrate when discussing themselves, and when they hear the statement of the Japanese who are more developed in football, they immediately "wake up".

Although this decision is a good decision, the inferiority of Chinese football people can be seen.

But putting these aside, in Zhang Sheng's view, the club's name change and transfer occur frequently. Frequent migrations and transfers not only leave fans at a loss and lack a sense of belonging, but also make Chinese football in turmoil.

For example, in the past A, during the Chinese Super League, there have been temporary reductions in the scale of participation, resulting in bye teams in each round of games, and such an unserious and unprofessional move hurts the overall interests of the league.

In addition to the above, there are many other advantages to prohibiting the transfer of teams across regions and allowing the gradual "localization" of professional clubs.

The Football Association compels localization, first, to enable club investors to do what they can, not to blindly "burn money" to engage in frenzied comparisons in salaries, and not to engage in an arms race in the salary structure of players; second, it can also allow club investors to consider inviting more shareholders to join, so as to realize the real shareholding system of professional clubs, so that a club cannot continue to survive due to poor management; and third, shareholdings can make the club's name neutral.

The neutralization of the club's name is the ultimate goal, which does not mean that the name of the company is removed from the name, but that the team really becomes a symbol of the city or a region of the city, rather than a company that takes benefits from the government through the football club and then discards it.

Lin Feng is so hot now, in addition to the transfer issue, there is another point that everyone is extremely concerned about, that is, the 2015 AFC annual awards ceremony will be held in New Delhi, India on November 29, Lin Feng as one of the three candidates for the final selection of Asian footballer, is an absolute hot spot.

Although the Arab media are unanimously building momentum for the other two candidates, Omar and Khalil, saying that Omar is the "Gulf Messi", saying that in the AFC Champions League final, Khalil's Dubai Al Ahli team will not hinder his self-worth even if it loses to Lin Feng's Longteng team, etc.

However, although the selection of the Footballer sometimes has a little influence on fame, it will still be based on results in the end.

Historically, Zheng Zhi was not elected as the Footballer of the Year, more because of the results of the national team, otherwise according to the practice of the AFC - in the past five Asian Footballer of the Year elections, four were awarded to the members of the AFC Champions League champion team, Zheng Zhi would be the final winner.

But now it is completely different, the Chinese national team has won all the games in the world preliminaries, and the group qualification is just around the corner for the top 12, and Lin Feng scored the only goal in the most critical away victory over Qatar and became the MVP on the spot.

Such a result is no worse than the UAE's results in the World Preliminary Tournament, as for the third place in the Asian Cup at the beginning of the year blown by the Arab media, the vast majority of people in the football circle know that it was the bad luck of the Chinese team and met the most powerful host.

After the AFC annual awards ceremony began, this Asian football festival also became a carnival day for the Longteng team.

In the AFC Club of the Year award, Longteng beat Al Ahli in Dubai to win the award, and then Pato won the AFC Foreign Player of the Year award, which is the second time that a Chinese club has won the award since Guangzhou Evergrande's Muric won the award in 2013.

When the name of "Lin Feng" burst out of the mouth of the AFC Vice President Salman, He Wei, who was in charge of the live commentary, also shouted: "Lin Feng, Lin Feng won the 2015 Asian Footballer of the Year." He is the second youngest footballer in the history of Asian football and the third Chinese player to receive this honor. He is just 21 years old this year, and his future prospects are limitless. ”

The youngest Asian Footballer of the Year in the history of Asian football was Qatar's Karfan Ibrahim, who was unexpectedly awarded the honour at the age of 18, but the result was not convincing because Karfan Ibrahim played in the Cartel League at the time, with no accolades or widespread support – the AFC's official website at the time showed that his approval rating was only 7% Coupled with the fact that Haman, then president of the AFC, was Qatari, no player in Qatar has ever won this award.

So to this day, many people think that Karfan Ibrahim's award is entirely due to his "godfather" Haman.

Before Lin Feng, there were two footballers in China, one was the famous "General Fan" Fan Zhiyi, and the other was Zheng Zhi, the captain of Guangzhou Evergrande.

Fan Zhiyi's ability is not to mention, the forward defender, no matter which position is the top in Asia, he has been nominated twice before winning the Asian Footballer, the third time because the Chinese team entered the World Cup finals, successfully ascended; Zheng Zhi is actually similar to Fan Zhiyi, he is also a central defender, a midfielder, a front waist can play, but unfortunately he was dragged down by the results of the Chinese national team, until he was 33 years old, he helped Guangzhou Evergrande win the AFC Champions League before he won the title of Mr. Football.

And now that Lin Feng has obtained this glory at the age of less than 22 years old, it can be said that in the eyes of outsiders, his future will blind the eyes of twenty-four karat gold.

Only Zhang Sheng knows that Lin Feng has now reached his peak, and it is because of Zhang Sheng's tactical system that he has become the most eye-catching one in the team.

Of course, Zhang Sheng is happy to see Lin Feng get Mr. Football, not to mention anything else, just this title, Lin Feng's worth is at least 50 million.

Now the Longteng Club has actually received offers from three teams about Lin Feng, and the lowest of them has exceeded 100 million.

And Lin Feng has put forward two conditions with all the clubs that have contacted him, one is that the transfer is okay, but he must first finish the Club World Cup, in fact, this is also Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, since the head coach Zhang Sheng thinks that he is not worthy of the giant team, then now he has the opportunity to face the world's top team like Barcelona, he wants to prove to Zhang Sheng, he can; 。

And Lin Feng also promised that if he agreed to these two conditions, he could make concessions on his annual salary.

It can be seen that Lin Feng has become more confident in himself after winning the Asian Footballer of the Year, and he believes that he has met the ability requirements of the European giants.

Even if Lin Feng put forward such a condition, the team that wants to buy him is still rushing, among which Guangzhou Evergrande seems to be more sincere, the offer of 150 million, the annual salary of 150 million before tax is definitely the highest one in the current Guangzhou Evergrande team except for foreign aid, and even higher than Gao Lin, who has the highest annual salary of 12 million among the local players in the Guangzhou Evergrande team before.

Compared with Shu Jun's transfer to Guangzhou Evergrande last year of 70 million, Evergrande's offer to the Longteng team this time is directly reversed, and it is said that Guangzhou Evergrande also proposed that if Lin Feng can perform well in Evergrande, he will take the initiative to recommend him to Real Madrid or Inter Milan.

Such sincerity really made Lin Feng unable to refuse.

Soon, when the Longteng team announced the list of players who went to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup, Guangzhou Evergrande and the Longteng Club reached an agreement on Lin Feng's transfer, that is, Lin Feng will participate in the Club World Cup with the Longteng team, and after the end of the Club World Cup, he will report directly to Guangzhou Evergrande.

Evergrande's posture is very good: "Support the Chinese team to achieve good results on the world football stage. ”

The rules of the Club World Cup are different from those of the Chinese Super League and the AFC Champions League, and foreign players who have a contract and are registered with the CFA can play, which means that the five foreign players in the current Longteng team, including Fernando Fernando, who has ended his loan contract, can sign up.

And Zhang Sheng did ask the club to help Fernando sign up, and let him participate in the team training camp that began on November 30, and the Longteng team aimed at the Club World Cup.
