We don't want to hear sorry, we also want to be worthy!
As a post-80s, I can tell you why our football is not good, when I was in elementary school, I hardly saw football in school, and by the time I was in junior high school, I might be called a parent by the class teacher, and I would be considered a "plaything" by the teacher.
I didn't start playing until I was 33 years old, and from scratch, I joined the amateur football team, including many professional coaches, and I could play a main position myself. So sometimes I think, it's not that Chinese nobody can play football, it's that the "football geniuses" (which don't mean me, of course) are really buried.
As a fan of the Chinese team, presumably the three words "sorry" are estimated to have been tired of hearing, after the humiliating 1-5 loss of the national football team to the Thai team in 2013, the official Weibo of the national football team sent three words "Sorry!" ”。 However, after this, the situation of the national football team did not change at all, and finally on the first day of the Chinese New Year in 2022, we lost to Vietnam.
Many fans mocked vietnam's low league level before the game, and the national team level was only comparable to that of a high amateur team, but it was such a worthless team that was worthless in the mouths of fans that made their people have a good year.
Frozen three feet is not a day's cold This sentence is used to describe the current national football team, it is really appropriate, the league let the Lu World Preliminary Tournament this model is even more unheard of, the result in exchange for what? Only 1 of the 8 matches was won, and it was not possible to qualify for this year's World Cup in advance, which is still in the case that Qatar is the host to automatically get a place, if Qatar also comes to play in the World Preliminary Round, then the national football team may be out of the game earlier. Today, let's sort out the 4 deadly sins of the national football team losing, which can also perfectly explain why it is always us who lose.
mentality
Stress education has been a tradition in China since ancient times, and this can also be reflected in football. The mentality of Chinese football has always been deformed, and when it encounters a draw, it is absolutely impossible to lose, and often the national football team cannot exert its own strength, and the reason is that it is putting pressure on itself. Especially at such an important time node as the first day of the Chinese New Year, coupled with the weakness of the Vietnamese team, if they do not win, they will lose, this mentality has caused great pressure on the national football team. Playing Vietnam and playing Japan are completely two mentalities, before playing Japan, all the fans are basically ready to lose, so the national football team will play more relaxed. Before playing in Vietnam, all the fans are basically ready to win, but this will also put huge pressure on the national football team, and this mentality of wanting to win and afraid of losing is the most terrible.
Standing and playing football
When we play football, we often say, don't stand and play, you have to run, to meet your teammates, but even we amateurs know a little, the national football team does not know. Through the game, we can find that when the national football team takes the ball to attack, they basically have a Vietnamese player around them in the close defense, and they are standing and waiting for the ball, and no one takes the initiative to catch the ball, which also makes it difficult for the team player to carry out the next step after receiving the ball. When our players pick up the ball, 1-2 players will immediately come up and grab it, and when the opposing player takes the ball, our players are still watching from a distance. Playing Vietnam's first goal is very telling, allowing people to get such a cross opportunity in the big box, even amateur teams should not make such a mistake.
The tactical system is lagging behind
At the technical and tactical level, the national football team defeated Vietnam. At present, almost all teams in Asia have their own way of playing, not to mention Japan, South Korea, Iraq and Australia, their playing style is very distinct and distinctive, and their techniques and tactics are up to date. Even Southeast Asian teams such as Thailand and Vietnam are playing with their own advantages. Vietnamese coach Cheng Shidink has led the Korean national team as an assistant coach, while other Korean coaches have also mixed with the Southeast Asian national team, and the head coaches of the two national teams in Cambodia and Indonesia are from South Korea. They will bring the tactics of Korean football to these countries, and will also follow the principle of using their strengths and avoiding weaknesses to develop counter-attack football that avoids physical confrontation, multi-kick speed and ground pass control.
On the other hand, chinese head coaches have almost no market in the world. Almost all of the foreign coaches who lead the national football team to create glory are foreign coaches, and Milu, Lippi and Perrin all prove how much a good coach can improve the team. Now that the tactics of our national team have fallen behind the world in an all-round way, how can we teach good students without good teachers.
Youth training
Again, this clichéd question, youth training. Let's start with a set of statistics, about 8,000 registered players, which we've heard a long time ago, but nothing has changed, and it's still the case. European soccer powerhouse Germany has 5.4 million in this regard, our neighbors South Korea and Japan are 350,000 and 500,000, while Thailand is 280,000, and Vietnam, which just beat us, reached 50,000. After more than ten or twenty years of development, japan, South Korea and other countries have reaped the fruits of success, while Asian third-rate teams such as Vietnam and Thailand are on the right path, only the national football team has stagnated, or even regressed.
It is also embarrassing to say that we will vigorously develop youth training, and there are not many talents pouring out. We all know about Japan's high school leagues, almost all Japanese people know about this competition, and although some of the enthusiastic football players will enter the professional league, the vast majority will still go to university campuses.
They will eventually become teachers who can play football, doctors who can play football, programmers who can play football, and they will pass on their love of football to the next generation, so it can be said that Japanese football is not normal if it does not rise. In China, it is almost impossible to reach such a level, and our youth training has lagged behind the world in all aspects.
The 11 people who can stand on the national team's playing field are already the best players we can pick out within a certain range, football is different from other sports, and the master cannot be in the folk. In this case, even if they lose, there are still a large number of clubs lined up to come back, and they are not short of home.
