This afternoon, Hangzhou Greentown will play Wuhan Red Star away in the third round of the FA Cup. As the most local amateur team in China, Wuhan Red Star Array has many former professional players. Wang Kai, the key player who scored the winning goal in the last round of the FA Cup, once played for Greentown.

Wang Kai, born in 1989, was in the prime of life and left professional football early due to injury. After retiring, playing amateur football became his choice. In fact, many players who retired from Greentown have naturally entered the amateur football circle in Hangzhou-some make a living by playing football, some earn some pocket money, and their living conditions are different, but football is still the focus of their lives.

Living condition: Wuhan Red Star is the main force and amateur team.

Annual income: about 300,000 yuan.

"Most of the players in Wuhan Hongxing have played professional games, not to mention the other team will play the Super League team one year later. We can't take this game lightly!" Last night, Greentown head coach Troussiere told the team.

Indeed, many players of Wuhan Red Star Team have had professional backgrounds. Besides Wang Kai, Cui Wenjun also played in Greentown. Wu Shuo, vice chairman of Greentown Club: "It's a pity for me. He plays football with great energy. He was the captain of the team at this age and later had to retire because of injury. "

In order to keep these former professional players, Wuhan Red Star Club spent a lot of money. Huang, the owner of the club, said that the annual investment should reach at least 78 million yuan. In the FA Cup, Wuhan Hongxing won a winning prize of 4 million yuan, which made many Chinese Super League teams very envious. Huang said that most of the players are arranged to work in the company, and they only need to work for three months a year, and the rest of the time is used for training and competition. "The income is higher than that of ordinary office workers." An insider revealed: "The annual income of the main players of this team is about 300,000 yuan."

Wu revealed: "Going to an amateur club like Wuhan Red Star will give retired professional players more choices. Their income is not as good as that of the Super League substitutes, but it will be higher than that of some Chinese A substitutes and Chinese B main players, so it is very attractive. "

Sample: Yang Changjin

Life status: player and coach of Hangzhou Cyber Football Club.

Annual income: 654.38 million yuan or more.

But most amateur clubs can't burn money like Wuhan Red Star. Huang Xu, the owner of Hangzhou Ange Club, said: "We also want to bring in some professional players retired from Greentown, but if everyone gives such high treatment, the team can't afford it. What's more, we can only invite them to participate in the competition and give them some appearance fees and bonuses. "

Express has hosted three Zhejiang Folk World Cups, each with former professional players. However, a manager of Hangzhou Cyber Football Club said, "As far as I know, few former professional players in Hangzhou only support themselves by playing amateur games."

Hangzhou amateur team invites high-level players including former professional players to play, and the general appearance fee is about 1000 yuan; If the level is particularly high, it may reach 1500 yuan -2000 yuan, and some teams will also set up a championship promotion bonus. But to invite players to the game at such a price, you need to have some influence. Such things don't happen much every year. The manager said: "Some players help us with youth football training while playing amateur games after retirement. Dangdang football coach, like former Greentown player Yang Changjin, has worked like this for many years. Such players are not calculated according to the appearance fee of each game, but according to the salary of one year, and the annual income is less than 6.5438+10,000 yuan. "

Annual income: unknown

"Ayan" is very famous in Hangzhou amateur circle. His real name is Yan Zhenhua. /kloc-joined Greentown at the age of 0/5, and later went to Yugoslavia and Bulgaria to study with the team. After I retired, I read books and did other jobs. There is only one thing I have never left behind: football.

A Yan played for many amateur teams and won the Zhejiang Folk World Cup in 20 14. In college, I earned my tuition and living expenses by playing football. Later, the income from playing football was an important part of him. Yan likes football. Sometimes she plays for the amateur team, and sometimes she plays by herself. She plays 50 or 60 games a year, more than professional players. There is a big income gap in every game. Some of them volunteered to play for their friends, and some charged "friendship price". The most expensive appearance fee is six or seven thousand yuan.

The income from playing amateur football fluctuated greatly, so Ayan started a sports industry company and recently became the coach of Zhejiang Dacheng Club. The club's goal is to attack the second division. Many players of Zhejiang Dacheng Club have played in the Super League and the Chinese League. Some players choose amateur football because they feel they have no place in professional teams. Now their monthly salary is five or six thousand yuan. Like Yan, these players have left professional football, but they are still doggedly pursuing their football dreams.
