China football, every China fan feels mixed feelings when he mentions it.
Whenever the World Cup season comes, the China men’s soccer team is always in a way"spectator" and "joke"As a participant, but not as a participant.
Then, why in today’s international arena, China, as old as football civilization,But always lost to Europe, America and even Japan, which is also East Asia?
What’s wrong with this?Do we really have no DNA to play football?
The Development Course of Football in China
In 1992, this year was of special significance to China football.Marketization reformIn this year, the curtain was opened, which marked an important step towards the professionalization of football in China.
This made the whole football system become different, and the professional league was established, which provided new career opportunities for players and coaches.This also directly prompted them to start.Get economic returns from clubs and markets.Football has thus gained unprecedented attention.
However, the development of everything has two sides; Although the market-oriented reform has brought new vitality to China football, it is also accompanied by problems.
Among them,The most obvious problem is that many young players choose to leave because they are dissatisfied with the conditions of provincial and municipal teams, which leads to a large number of brain drain.; More importantly, the original reform paid too much attention to the construction of professional leagues, butForget the importance of basic training.This makes the development of football in China appear obvious "fault".
This fault problem has been exposed in the early stage, but it has not been paid enough attention.
If the infrastructure of a league is not stable, then no matter how dazzling it is, it is difficult to go far;This may explain why in the late 1990s and early 2000s,Although China football had a brief glory, it quickly fell into a downturn.
But,In addition to the above-mentioned professionalization and marketization issues, is there anyOther factorsIs it affecting the development of football in China?
These factors can be discussed from three aspects: physical fitness, technology and genes:
First of all, there are indeed differences between Asians and Africans or Europeans in physical strength and flexibility; But this difference is not purely determined by genes, and eating habits and training methods also play an indispensable role.
howeverBased on this factor alone, we can’t come to the conclusion that "China people are not suitable for playing football";
Looking back at last year’s World Cup, Japan successfully defeated the powerful German team, which clearly proved that East Asian teams can also compete with the world’s top teams.
Furthermore, football is not just a "European and American" sport; It is global, and its technology, tactics and ideas are constantly evolving on a global scale.
Simply copying the football model in Europe and America cannot guarantee success, and each region has its own unique football culture and development route;Too much pursuit of integration with Europe and the United States, but ignoring local characteristics, often brings bad consequences.
reviewAlthough China tried to imitate European football in the early stage of its professionalization, its basic work was ignored.
A solid foundation is the key to the top league. In this respect, countries like Japan and South Korea have done quite well.
They started from the foundation and gradually built a perfect football development system, with clear planning and continuous investment from youth training to top leagues.
The rise of Japanese football is largely due to their solid youth training system;Large-scale competitions such as the All-Japan High School Football Championship involve about 100,000 student players. Every year, about 4,000 teams participate in the preliminaries, and 48 teams are finally selected to enter the finals.
This is not only a competition, but also a platform to show yourself and exercise your skills. The Gaoyuan Palace Cup Japan Football Association U18 League has created a more professional stage for the youth teams of various professional clubs.
South Korea, another strong team in East Asia, is famous for its excellent physical confrontation and physical fitness;In the international arena, they can often show excellent competitive state in the confrontation with strong European teams.
South Korean star Sun Xingyu’s Premier League performance is undoubtedly the best proof.He is not only a player, but also a representative of Korean football innovation youth training;
The sports park invested and built by Sun Xingyuan in South Korea represents the new direction of Korean football-"Sun Xiongzheng mode" (Sun Xiongzheng is Sun Xingyuan’s father and a former football player in South Korea), which pays more attention to technology and basic skills.
Compared with Japan and South Korea, although their football road is different from ours, their success provides us with valuable enlightenment; Both Japan’s youth training system and South Korea’s innovative ideas on player training are worthy of our in-depth study and thinking.
At the same time,Our national team, especially the women’s football team., also has a remarkable performance on the international stage.
Compared with the men’s soccer team, why can they show better elegance in the international arena?
From the perspective of professionalism,China women’s football team is on a global scale.Degree of professionalismMore prominent;
In many countries, many women football players are stillAmateur state,But in our country, most women football players areprofessionalismofThis provides them with rich training time and helps them to form an advantage in technology and tactics.
Furthermore,Women’s football has relatively little commercial value.Make the players focus more on the performance on the court, rather than being influenced by commercial factors.This pure attitude towards the gameUndoubtedly, it has created a more pure competition environment for women football players.
On the other hand, although the men’s football team has gone through the road of professionalization, there are many problems in the promotion of marketization;
The most critical problem is the neglect of basic work.This has led to a great loss of football talents. Compared with women’s football team’s obvious attitude of paying attention to technology and basic skills, men’s football team seems to be subject to more external interference in the process of marketization.
When we look back on every glory of China women’s football team, we can deeply feel the efforts behind them; And every ups and downs of the men’s soccer team is a wake-up call, suggesting that we need to reflect deeply.
In the future, we hope that both men’s football team and women’s football team should cherish every opportunity to play, go all out, create more bright spots, win glory for our country, and bring joy and pride to every fan.
