Envy and jealousy! The Top 8 of the Japan High School League is born! China Evergrande Football School blossoms, is it too late?
News on Monday, January 3, 2022 Beijing time. On the one hand, the national team's record in the round of 12 is sluggish, 6 wins, 1 win, 2 draws and 3 losses, behind Japan, want to qualify for the World Cup, it is difficult to ascend to the sky. On the other side, the survival of the teams in the Chinese Super League and the Chinese First Division is difficult. The gap between Chinese football and Japanese football is getting bigger and bigger!
The latest news, Japan's 100th high school league, the hot start, has been decided in the top 8 - Shizuoka Gakuen, Kanto first. Kirito Garden, Takakawa Gakuen. Otsu and Maebashi Yuei. Higashiyama, Aomori Yamada. The excitement of Japan's high school league is enviable, and its young players constantly stage wonderful combinations and goals. And Chinese football?
Chinese football and Japanese football started almost at the same time, and they were at a low point almost at the same time. In 1993, the national football team defeated Il Peter, and the Japanese men's football team was also unexpectedly out of the game, missing the 1994 World Cup. However, they were determined to think bitterly, and the subsequent 1998 World Cup began, and 6 consecutive World Cups were not absent, and the role of youth training was obvious! And we, after avoiding Japan, South Korea, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, only scored a World Cup.
Sun Jihai said it well: I have been working hard in the Premier League for many years, and I think there is indeed a gap between Chinese players and European and American players. But at the very least, we should be similar to our East Asian neighbors, Japan and South Korea. What Sun Jihai said was very pertinent. And how to narrow the gap, youth training is definitely very important!
Over the years, it must be affirmed that many grassroots football practitioners have also worked hard. At that time, Zhang Yin Football School, Gao Feng Wen Football School. Even the larger-scale Luneng Football School, Xu Genbao Football School, and Evergrande Football School are very hard.
Luneng Football School has trained many players, while Wu Lei is trained by Xu Genbao Football School, and recently Guangzhou players have scored goals, including Ling Jie of the 03 echelon, who studied at Evergrande Spanish Football School, including Tan Kaiyuan, who was carefully cultivated by Evergrande Football School! Evergrande Football School has been cultivated for more than 10 years and has finally blossomed. Although the parent company of the Guangzhou team has encountered some difficulties, it cannot be denied that Evergrande Football School is doing things in a down-to-earth manner. Developing players is not overnight, we should give them more respect and more support!
The future of Chinese football needs more Chinese football schools rooted in youth training! If these football schools are gone, then who will rely on Chinese football to impact the World Cup?
