CHINESE soccer chief Wei Di admitted his proposal to include junior national teams in the domestic professional leagues was a "mistake".
Last month, Wei called for the under-21 squad to become a wildcard 17th team in the top flight Chinese Super League with the under-19s and under-17s joining the second and third divisions. The plan attracted widespread criticism from media and fans. "It was a mistake to think that the traditional sports administrative style would adapt to professional sport," Wei told Beijing News yesterday. "At least it was inappropriate. My intention was good but the proposal was imperfect and must be revised." Wei took over Chinese soccer in January after former CFA chief Nan Yong was arrested.
