Before 1994 league entered the professionalization stage, the training of young football players was often led by provincial sports committees. Due to the task of the National Games, provinces also pay more attention to the training of young players. Li, who once represented Hubei in the Ninth National Games, is 26 years old. He introduced his football career at that time.
"When we were young, we all played football to exercise, and then we gradually became fascinated with this sport. When I was 6 years old and went to primary school, I began to receive football training in Hubei Football Technical School. At that time, we went to the primary school where ordinary people went. After school in the afternoon, we went to the football school to learn to play football, and then our parents took us home in the evening. At that time, the training fee for one month was only 15 yuan, and everyone was at home. Later, in the third grade, the training fee became one month in 30 yuan, and finally rose to 60 yuan. The primary school is over, and the equipment cost is less than 3000 yuan.
"In junior high school, football has become professional and the cost of playing football has gradually increased. A group of our players trained in Hubei Football Technical School also started intensive training on campus. At that time, a month's room and board cost ***450 yuan, and then rose to 600 yuan. At the end of the Ninth National Games, Wuhan Club bought our team. Because there was no hope of getting into the first team, I finally went to play in the Singapore League at my own expense 1 1,000 yuan, and finally I didn't insist and returned to China. "
Because it is the National Games team led by the Provincial Sports Commission, Li's players have received great policy care and spent less on football training than children of the same age. Roughly speaking, Li Xiaoxue spent 3,000 yuan, and during the eight years from 12 to 19, he spent nearly 60,000 yuan.
And these are completely normal expenses. Li also revealed that if you want a coach to be promoted, you often have to give the coach some "benefits", which is true for teams at all levels. These expenses are not small, there are tens of thousands. Roughly speaking, Li's talent fee is about 654.38 million yuan, which is only one year's fee in the current youth training.
After professionalization, the cost of becoming a talent is roughly between 250,000 and 1 10,000.
The football events of 1994 and 1995 made many football schools in China famous overnight. What is the cost of young people engaged in football training after 1995?
According to the person in charge of the Youth Training Department of Chengdu Football Association, in the era when football schools were prevalent, the annual training fee for a child's parents was generally around 30,000 yuan (20,000 tuition fees, 1 10,000 living expenses). This does not include the cost of the competition, because with the increase of age, the number of competitions will increase and the cost will also increase. If a child starts playing football at the age of 65,438+00, and enters the first team at the age of 65,438+08, and starts to earn money, he needs at least 250,000 basic investment. This may not be high compared with the tuition threshold of other training industries in society, but compared with ordinary children who receive education, this threshold is somewhat unattainable. Teacher Zhang, who sent her children to China Football School for internship, paid a total of 200,000 yuan for five years, of which 50,000 yuan was the "school establishment fee" required by the school when she entered school.
According to the statistics of authoritative departments, the average tuition fee of college students in China is about 5,000 yuan a year, and with the living expenses such as accommodation, the cost of children going to college for one year is about 6,543.8+0,000 yuan. If only the cost of family education is considered, the per capita annual income of urban residents and the per capita net income of rural residents in 2007 were 13786 yuan and 4 140 yuan respectively. Based on this calculation, it takes 1.5 years of urban residents' net income and 4.8 years of farmers' net income to support a four-year undergraduate course. The "football students" spend at least three times as much as college students every year, and the school time is generally 5 to 7 years. Based on the average school time of 6 years, to support a full-time school student who graduated from a technical secondary school, at least 13. 1 year's net income of urban residents and 43.5 years' net income of farmers are needed.
This is just a superficial fee. At the critical moment when players enter the first team, they often pay hundreds of thousands to the coach at a time, leaving the relationship clear. It takes tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands to join the national name team. The insiders believe that this kind of black money is commonplace and has become a trend. In this way, the cost of becoming a professional player at this stage is about 250,000 to 1 10,000, far exceeding the cost of training an ordinary student.
