Who says football is not a microcosm of society

The defeat of the national football team to the Vietnamese team is a doomed thing.

On the first day of the Chinese New Year, the national football team lost 1-3 to Vietnam, announcing the failure of the World Cup two rounds in advance. The score was disgraceful, and the process was a great shame.

Netizens ridiculed better: the column of shame is ashamed.

Some people argue, is football a microcosm of society? Is Chinese football a microcosm of Chinese society?

You don't think so. Your reason is also very reasonable, you said that China's high-speed rail is the world's first, China's aerospace science and technology in the forefront of the world, China's GDP is very beautiful, China's big cities are gorgeous, China can dominate in many other sports... Football is not important to China.

But I think it's the epitome.

First, the weight is not important has nothing to do with the microcosm, and it may also be an escape. Second, a friend of mine also said it well, a thing is important and not important, there should be no absolute material judgment.

If you can't understand what Shankley means when he says "football is above life and death", you can't understand football. If the above two points cannot be agreed, the article can not be read down.

For a large country like China, which is still a small people's mentality, the importance of football is that it is a kind of world mainstream.

The biggest difference between sports and the fields of literature and art, economy, science and technology is that it is really short-term. You say that Luo Dayou's music is better than Bob Dylan's, and no one can argue with you, but sports are different.

All tribes, regions, and nations compete under open and fair rules, it satisfies the human bloodthirsty and competitive instinct in an elegant way, it makes people naturally stand in line in the form of confrontation to present the centripetal force of the group, and it judges your success or failure in a certain dimension with clearly visible victories and losses.

It is precisely football that is the most special existence in sports.

It is the human activity that best combines individual heroism and the spirit of collective cooperation, and it is the movement that best shows the overall temperament of a group. Differences in economy, culture, and race are destined to have different starting points under the same project rules, but football is the sport that ignores objective conditions the most, and its rules can minimize the impact of environmental differences on strength, and it has almost only one basic premise: the freedom of body and soul. On this basis, it is varied. This is the reason why it has taken the world by storm. Just one humble Arab Cup title was enough to make all the Algerian immigrants in France take to the streets to celebrate.

If Chinese sports want to integrate into the mainstream world, or even lead the mainstream world, they cannot escape the mainstream. The problem now is precisely that Chinese football is too non-mainstream.

I don't want to rip china's youth population figures, to be honest I don't know, I don't care at all, I always feel that this is what the Social Department of the Football Association should do, not the media. I am a superficial leagueist, and I think that if China can't even run a ready-made professional league with a structure and scale (which is the simplest link in reality), it will be impossible to run a youth training that requires ten years of trees, let alone be qualified to ask the national team to produce results.

I don't seek profundity, don't laugh, we haven't reached the stage of profundity at all. Let's take a closer look at the image.

Looking back at the performance of the Chinese team in the game, there is no agility, no self-confidence, no responsibility, it is dull, tired, lifeless, and there is no picture of blood vein expansion. Think about what this group of people have gone through over the past two years. This is so normal.

League home-and-away matches were cancelled for two consecutive years, and everyone was gathered in a hotel closed for months, playing in venues without spectators, and no normal life. The schedule of these two years has not only shrunk dramatically, but has also been horribly dense. The training of the national team is also rare in the world, and it is often closed for 1 to 2 months. The players are not normal players, can the ball still be a normal ball? The level is very limited, and it has to be greatly discounted. I thought of the vendor outside the Hongkou Football Stadium who had been forced to close because he had no business.

Don't tell me it's caused by the pandemic, and don't tell me it was a last resort. This means that football is not important. As I said earlier, if you don't think it's important, don't look down. You see here's a loss. Put it this way, if you want to feel that football is not important, then there must be more things that are not important, and it is most important to lock your home every day "relatively static".

But things like "relatively static," if I really digest them, I degenerate.

Far from it. My central idea is that football should only be done according to Chinese characteristics, and it will certainly be no drama. But weightlifting and diving have certainly been a play.
