I believe that many fans' perception of Chinese football in the past two years has changed greatly. In the past, many people felt that if Chinese football wants to get better and the level is raised, it must also ask for big-name foreign aid and big-name foreign teachers. Inviting big-name foreign aid allows our players to get up close and personal with the world's top players, to learn a lot, and to invite big-name foreign teachers to expose players to the world's most advanced training methods and techniques. So it's a matter of course that Chinese football will take off because of this.
But the result was brutal, although our club's results were good, and we won the AFC Champions League twice. But our national football level has not become better because our players have the guidance of big-name foreign aid teammates and big-name foreign aid coaching teams, but it has become worse. The reason is very simple, that is, the foreign teaching team comes to the Chinese Super League has a huge performance pressure, and in the face of performance pressure, foreign aid will definitely choose the fastest way to improve results, that is, to create a central axis of foreign aid, and foreign aid as the core to build the structure of the team. In this way, the local players are basically marginalized and take on some peripheral work, while the foreign aid is to take responsibility and change the game. So when Chinese players collectively become spectators, their abilities do not rise but decline. So this path has also been proven wrong.
At the time when the national football team took a detour, our neighbor Japan and South Korea have found the right way to develop, and while they vigorously develop youth training, they have begun to export players, especially in Europe, and Japanese and Korean players have been widespread. And it is precisely the number of players who stay in foreign countries that the base is getting bigger and bigger, so talents have begun to pour out. In europe's five major leagues, Japanese and Korean players can be seen playing the main force at any time. Among them, the South Korean national team winger Son Heung-min is the representative of the foreign players, he played the main force in the Premier League Tottenham Hotspur and became the team's attacking core. Exercising in the Premier League has brought Son Heung-min's level to a very high level. At present, his value is as high as 82 million euros, which is the most Asian player and a true Asian brother. And Son Heung-min's status in the national team is also very important, with Son Heung-min's South Korean team is to be promoted several grades. In the same way, if a team of Asian national teams, players basically play in Europe, then their rhythm and intensity of confrontation are European, so they can maintain enough advantages against Asian opponents. This is one of the important reasons why Japan and South Korea are strong.
In fact, to sum up, the level of the league can determine the level of the player, and the level of the player can determine the level of a national team. That's why our national team, which is based on the Chinese Super League, is almost completely at a disadvantage against Japan and South Korea, and when we have a Wu Lei who plays in La Liga, we will find that although we are behind overall, we can still have a dagger, and one of Wu Lei's forward insertions is likely to help the team change the outcome. This is the role of foreign players.
Therefore, If Chinese football wants to rise rapidly, players going out is definitely the fastest shortcut. Recently, our Football Association has also encouraged our players to go out, and many players, especially internationals, have gone out. Among them, the Chinese women's football team has the most players going out, such as Tang Jiali, who joined the Premier League Tottenham Hotspur team, and she played 5 games for the team in half a season, starting one of the 5 games and getting 1 assist. In addition, in the FA Cup, Tang Jiali made 2 appearances and 2 starts, scoring 1 goal. It can be seen that Tang Jiali has begun to integrate into the team through these games, and has begun to adapt to the fast-paced and high-confrontation games in Europe.
After those 5 Premier League games, what did Tang Jiali gain? How much growth has it been? This Time the Indian Women's Asian Cup is an opportunity to verify. In the second round of the group stage, Tang Jiali came off the bench to shine. First in the 76th minute of the game, Lou Jiahui received the ball at the top of the arc, Tang Jiali faced multiple blocks, a turn of a ball, shook open the space, suddenly got up at the top of the arc of the penalty area to shoot long-range, the ball flew close to the ground, after bouncing in front of the goalkeeper, changed direction and flew into the goal, the score became 6-0. To know that this shooting location is 30 meters away from the goal, which is a little far for female footballers, but we can see that after experiencing the Training of the Premier League, Tang Jiali has become stronger and more confident, she is very confident in her strength and footwork, natural shots, natural goals. It's a bit of a ronaldo feeling, and that's progress.
In the 82nd minute of the game, Tang Jiali received a pass from her teammate on the right side of the penalty area and shot past the goalkeeper, while the opposing defender kicked the ball into his own goal under the interference of Wang Shuang, and the score became 7-0. This pick can see how calm Tang Jiali is in front of the goal, which is the reaction after experiencing high-intensity competition.
Substitutes play to create two goals, in the wing can suddenly resist, such as if there is no one, like Ronaldo, this is what 5 Premier League games brought to Tang Jiali. She became stronger, sharper, more confident. So this road to go out must be persistent, which is why Li Lei, who is 30 years old, insists on playing in Europe, and european games can bring him a lot, and many things that cannot be learned in the Chinese Super League. Do you think going this way is the right choice? Do you think there is anyone in the national football team who should go out and play football?
