Facing the opponents of the "battle of honor", Vietnam, the Chinese national football team finally lost 1-3. On the first day of the Chinese New Year, the Chinese national football team not only sent the shame of "epic" to the fans across the country, but also ended the previous glorious record of winning all victories in Vietnam.
To some extent, the bad impact of this defeat is greater than the national football team's 1-5 loss to the Thai team 8 years ago, because the national football team not only played the "gift" battle of the Spring Festival, but also made the football association, Li Xiaopeng, and a group of international footballers swear to become a big joke in the pre-match gambling spell with Vietnam. After this battle, the national football team is completely nailed to the column of shame, just like Brazil, which lost miserably to Germany in the World Cup, at least tonight's generation of players will be saddled with heavy psychological baggage in the future.
Where does the national football team lose? People who have watched the game can have their own opinions, such as Li Xiaopeng's technical and tactical wrong way, or the poor state of this other player, which is the reason. The analysis of former international Xu Yang is actually more reasonable: compared with the national football team, Vietnam actually plays a football that is closer to the requirements of modern technology and tactics; while the Chinese team has stood still for nearly ten or even twenty years, so our defeat is doomed.
Yes, the failure of the national football team is the failure of the whole, not just the failure of the individual. In fact, when the General Sports Department took pains to support Li Xiaopeng as the head coach of the national football team, we can understand that this team and the so-called "modern football" will not be related at all: how can a head coach who has been criticized even in the Chinese Super League as a backward tactical system and will only play high and high, bring any trace of modern football to the national football team?
But the problem is that Li Xiaopeng is already the best head coach in China besides Li Tie. This in itself says a lot. As for the players, what are our players doing when Vietnamese players can form a delicate short pass combination in the midfield, whether it is up or down? It was the unknown running position and passing, and even some players played the whole game with their heads down, so that some fans asked: Is the red team we are facing Bayern?
Even those who are optimistic about the national football team, after watching this Sino-Vietnamese battle, have to admit the fact that the Chinese team has become a third-rate team in Asia. If in the past, we still had a slight illusion about the strength positioning of the national football team, believing that the national football team was the "weak second-rate" team in Asia and even hovered between the first-class and the second-rate team, then now, this illusion is completely shattered.
From this point of view, we even have to thank Vietnam, because it is this opponent who was previously ignored by us, who ripped off the only bottoms left in Chinese football and shattered the last dignity of the national football team. Just as the bitter lessons of Humen and the Yuanmingyuan still can't make an empire fully awakened, this Sino-Vietnamese war is like a football version of the "Sino-Japanese Naval Battle", and from then on, the only way out for Chinese football to achieve a counterattack is to usher in a complete innovation.
How to innovate? Whether it is Japan or Vietnam, they all tell us that relying on youth training to save football is not an empty phrase, so in Chinese football, is youth training really doing it seriously? Changing the order, the ass decides the head, these things that are contrary to the law of football development, do we continue to do it in the future?
Only by cutting with your past self can you usher in a new life. This is the biggest revelation left to us after the fiasco of the national football team. Chinese football has reached a very dangerous point, whether to come to a strong man to break his wrist, or continue to "tail is not big", this is a question worth thinking about every footballer.
