Faced with the dilemma of food shortage, who can help Beijing women’s football out of the “winter”?
The north wind whistled and the cold wave struck. In the past half month or so, Beijing has experienced the coldest days since the beginning of winter, but even in such a cold winter, the training of the Beijing women’s football team did not slack in the slightest. At the beginning of 2021, the Beijing Women’s Football team moved from the cold Beijing to Guangdong for winter training, and has not stopped, but the team is currently facing the situation that investors cannot continue to invest, which is tantamount to the bone-chilling cold for the team.
Blow
Unexpectedly, the performance has been steadily improved in the past 4 years, but it has been hit hard by funds
Time goes back to 4 years ago. On November 18, 2016, Beijing Enterprises Group subsidiary Beijing Enterprises Real Estate signed a contract with Beijing Xiannongtan Sports School, and Beijing Beijing Enterprises Phoenix Football Club was formally established. The signing at that time was regarded as a sign Since then, the Beijing Women’s Football Team has officially entered a brand new professional club, and has proposed a goal of winning the Women’s Super League within 3 to 5 years. At the beginning of the club’s establishment, in addition to expectations for future results, there were many plans to improve the club system.
In the last four seasons of the Women’s Super League, Dalian Quanjian Women’s Football, which once dominated the league consecutively, and the new hegemons of Jiangsu Women’s Football and Wuhan Women’s Football, have yet to come true. On October 11, 2020, the Beijing Women’s Football team lost to the Shanghai Women’s Football Team in the third and fourth place finals of the 2020 Women’s Super League and won the fourth place in the league. Under the special competition system of the 2020 season, the team has overcome many difficulties in preparation and participation. The Beijing Women’s Football team has won a top four in the final round of the first stage. Beijing Women’s Football Coach Yu Yun said that the team won and The chances of a master’s move, and the improvement of a master’s move faster, “I hope that the team members can have outstanding performance, respect their opponents, and get the respect of their opponents.”
In the end, the 2020 season ended with the fourth place in the league. For the Beijing Women’s Football Team, it was a result that reached expectations. The other three semi-final teams were very strong. The Beijing Women’s Football team won a place in the semi-finals through their own efforts. An achievement worthy of recognition.
After the 2020 season, the Beijing women’s football team only got half a month’s rest, and began to gather for the new season. In 2021, the Beijing Women’s Football team will not only compete in the Women’s Super League, but also serve as the National Games mission. The Beijing women’s football training will last until February 3. During this period, it is participating in an invitational tournament including the women’s super, women’s and women’s U19 national youth teams. After the Spring Festival, the team plans to go to Kunming for spring training organized by the Chinese Football Association on February 18, and then will participate in a tournament in preparation for the National Games. According to the plan, the National Games preliminaries will start in April.
In 2021, the Beijing Women’s Football Team will have a heavy task, and the team has set clear goals for itself. In terms of National Games, the results will surpass the previous one (the Beijing Women’s Football Team won the eighth place in the last National Games). Strive to enter the top three. In the league, the results of the Beijing Women’s Football Team in the past few years can be said to have improved step by step year after year. Originally, they wanted to make further breakthroughs in the 2021 season, but they were full of variables due to the sudden arrival of funding problems.

Beijing Women’s Football Team Faces Dilemma
At the end of 2020, the investors verbally notified the team that they would no longer invest any funds from 2021. This decision caught the Beijing Women’s Football team by surprise. In the beginning of 2021, the Beijing women’s football team suddenly faces the dilemma of “unresolved”. Although the team’s preparation plan has not been affected, if the matter is delayed, it will inevitably have an irreversible impact on the team’s future.
For the Beijing women’s football team, the most urgent thing is that the registration for the National Games will end at the end of January, and the women’s super league registration will also end at the end of February. This means that at these two time points, the Beijing women’s football team must reserve. Good for the 2021 season’s personnel, whether it is to retain the current personnel team or to recruit recruits to supplement the team’s strength. Now that the investors have stopped investing in the team, the Beijing Women’s Football team urgently needs financial support to build a stable and competitive team. These days, team coach Yu Yun is desperate. What he hopes most is that the team can overcome this hurdle.
Previously, Ma Xiaoxu, Li Wen, and Li Hao introduced to the club were the main players of last season, and their contracts with the club expired on December 31, 2020. The performance of these internal aids last season is remarkable. The team originally planned to keep them all in the team, but now there is a funding problem, these players will find it difficult to stay in the team. The only gratifying thing is that as a member of the Beijing Women’s Football Team of Xiannongtan Sports School under the Municipal Sports Bureau, they will continue to stay with the team to help the team compete in the 2021 game.
There are many women’s football teams that are unsustainable due to funding problems. Even the Dalian Women’s Football Team, which once dominated the Women’s Super League for a while, cannot escape this fate. The Beijing Women’s Football is affiliated to the Xiannongtan Sports School. Even if the investors no longer provide financial support, the team will not be disbanded, but the team’s financial security and player income will be greatly reduced.
After hearing the news that the investors will no longer invest, the coaching staff headed by coach Yu Yun digested this “bolt from the blue” in the shortest possible time. As the backbone of this team, Yu Yun needs to think about the future of the team while calming the emotions of the players. Up to now, people outside the team have not yet given a positive public response to the situation that the Beijing Women’s Football is encountering.
Action
Team generals are in the same boat, only the husband can talk about development
“In the most difficult times, the coaching staff and players must unite. I believe the team’s efforts and persistence will be seen after all.” The Beijing Women’s Football is a traditional veteran team that has cultivated many international players in history. The development of Chinese women’s football has a pivotal position. This year is the fourth year that coach Yu Yun has taken over the Beijing Women’s Football Team. As a Beijinger, Yu Yun has feelings for this team; as a head coach, he is responsible for his players, “We have to hold this team. Up.”
For Yu Yun, spiritual things are the most important. However, in the world of football, if there is no material basis, many things are nothing. “I talked with these players in Xiannongtan, everyone’s mentality and mental state are relatively stable, and they are willing to overcome difficulties with the team.”
This is the attitude shown by the coaches and players of the Beijing Women’s Football Team in times of crisis. For love and responsibility, everyone chooses to work together. But Yu Yun also has his own worries. If the team’s situation is delayed, “I have no reason to prevent the players from having better development and choices.” Of course, this is a later story. At the moment, the Beijing Women’s Football Team is actively preparing for the game. In the 2021 event, Yu Yun and his players also believe that the team can finally resolve this crisis.
In fact, even if the Chinese women’s football team blooms youthful in the World Cup or still has hope of entering the Tokyo Olympics in the Olympic qualifiers, the living environment of the entire women’s football team has never been fundamentally improved. From the level of women’s football clubs, each team has different financial strengths and different living conditions, but most of them are struggling.
For women’s football, the most urgent thing now is not to develop, but to survive. To some extent, the Beijing women’s football is a microcosm of the status quo of women’s football as a whole. People are always keen to talk about the spirit of women’s football, and they are always habitually moved by the spirit of women’s football, but as these girls who love football and live on football, they also need more practical help and support. None of them can be guaranteed, so the future of these women’s football girls is really worrying.
