The first practice of the Year of the Tiger, Xiao Bao's spirit was gone. Recently, at the Winter Olympics, the mainland performed well, with naturalized athletes winning gold medals. My son asked me, can foreigners represent the Chinese team? I told him that according to the regulations of the International Olympic Committee, athletes who acquire Chinese nationality can represent China... He also asked me, don't we all use naturalized players in The Chinese men's football team? ......
This kid always asks me tough questions. I replied to him this way:
Naturalized athletes are nothing new in the world, and we also have athletes in China who represent other countries in the Olympic Games, such as gymnastics and table tennis, and the results are good. In terms of grades, this is a good thing, but from another point of view, it also illustrates some problems. For example, Gu Ailing is indeed a native foreigner, and he grew up in a country with strong ice and snow projects, so basic training has a good environment. Of course, this naturalization is at least half of her Chinese genes, so there is nothing wrong with representing the Chinese team. Even so, it highlights the weakness of our mass base in winter sports. Our country carries out winter sports relatively late, the venue is too small, the talent is too small, most of them are professional team training, closed training, professional training. Although it is not a profession, it is also a semi-professional until retirement.
In recent years, our successful bid for the Winter Olympic Games has also provided a good opportunity for the development of our winter sports, and the investment of the state, localities and enterprises has increased, which has naturally attracted talents and cultivated the team. However, compared with some European and American countries that have a strong national ice and snow foundation, our foundation is still weak, and this weakness is not only weak achievements, but our mass base. Just like Xiao Bao, although he grew up in Beijing, we only took him to the artificial snow field a few times, and Chongli he never went. We are still a sports family, and there are not so many opportunities for children to be exposed to ice and snow, not to mention more families.
As for Gu Ailing, Lao Huang believes that the media should no longer engage in the kind of "god-making" that Liu Xiang used to do, we should treat it with a normal heart, report on China's ice and snow on an average, dig up some rookie stories, inspire and encourage more people to participate in ice and snow projects, become enthusiasts, and become participants.
Of course, the overwhelming publicity and screen domination are naturally related to some advertisers, and it is no wonder that Xiaobao will mention the naturalized player to me.
As an athlete, there is no problem in making money by performance and appearance, but receiving advertising is a double-edged sword, and a good brokerage team is the top priority, although athletes should not take tobacco and alcohol advertisements as much as possible, especially professional athletes, tobacco and alcohol advertisements can not be touched. In addition, not all ads have to be picked up, and they must be selective. You see F1 superstar Schumacher, football superstar David Beckham... They receive only a handful of advertisements. More ads do not necessarily reflect anything, but the sponsor's terms, to date the athlete to become a commodity, and lose the position of idol. Of course, unless it's for the money.
Speaking of this, Xiao Bao said that he would not take advertisements as a professional player in the future. I laughed and I said: Son, if you become a professional player, the first thing is to maintain your club, to maintain your fans, advertising this matter to the agent, they are more professional, more know how to deal with these public affairs and public relations. As a professional player, ensure good health, ensure good training, ensure that you are the most sober person, ready to play for your host, score goals...
Then there is the question of the national football naturalized players, I can't answer my son, because I am afraid that he will not have confidence in the national football team. Unexpectedly, he told me: Dissolve this session, it stinks, wait until we grow up... I almost burst out laughing, and I told him that maybe this national football team member said the same thing when he was as old as you!
The world environment of football is that there are five major professional leagues, there are the most lively three cups of competition, we are located in the level of Asia itself, and why Asians can not play Europe and the United States, this problem is too complicated, the narrative needs a lot of arguments, but Dad has a simple explanation: football and chips are a technical job, playing football are technical apes, but also have a huge research and development, execution team, lithography machine is the most important! Xiao Bao asked me what a lithography machine was, and I told him - to have a strong family! The family of a child who plays football is very important, from heredity to knowledge to cultivation, energy, money, hope can not be less. Football is the world's largest sport, and it is not a matter of calling someone else's child to win.
So, I finally told XiaoBao that you only have three years, and if you can't lay a good foundation in these three years, you can't go out to study. I have trained you to love the sport yourself, not the family task, but you have to know that time, you have to race against time, which is like our football, we have to race against time, otherwise we will fall behind others from childhood.
Can't play Vietnam, it's really inferior to people, not others! Don't let the child who plays football fall behind the starting line and the children of other Asian countries.
Heavy leagues, high salaries, regardless of the tail, the children fell behind, they could not catch up when they grew up, we lost not only skills, but also time.
So this semester, watch XiaoBao and the race against time. Looking forward to your progress!
