In China, football presents the status quo of men's and women's football, where no one can play or win, and women's football is a benchmark at least in Asia. The men's football team created the shame of losing 1-3 to Vietnam for the first time in 60 years at the beginning of the Year, and the women's football team completed the glory of winning the Asian Cup championship for the first time in 16 years on the sixth day of the New Year, it can be said that the national football team once specifically pointed out that the history of the men's football team will never return, and now the abbreviation of the Chinese women's football team is the national football team.
Of course, as a fan of the national football team, the most painful thing is not that they have repeatedly lost battles, various objective reasons for finding defeats, but obviously the results are very bad, but no one admits it, and the Football Association and the country are in the sky-high annual salary to support them, especially like Gao Lin, Zheng Zhi, the old international footballers, the annual income can easily exceed 20 million, and now join the Brazilian naturalized players, they are 10 million euros a year salary easily won, converted into 80 million yuan. In contrast, the Chinese women's football team has won all of its opponents in Asia, but their salaries are not even as good as the average white-collar workers in some big cities, let alone their popularity.
Just when the Chinese men's football team was in the depths of the water, an infuriating news came out from the Football Association. According to the football association's careful study decision, the senior level of the football association, headed by chairman Chen Shuyuan, has voted to withdraw from the U23 Asian Cup held in Uzbekistan in June this year. This also means that the Chinese team, which was supposed to participate in the group lottery ceremony on February 17, Beijing time, will not appear at the lottery site, which is really incomprehensible. You know, the U23 Asian Cup is held every two years, which is an excellent exercise opportunity for young players, not to mention that the Football Association implements the U23 policy in the Chinese Super League every season, which in itself is preparing for the U23 Asian Cup, but now that the start of the tournament is imminent, the Football Association says that it will not participate if it does not participate, so how can this group of players improve their level?
What is even more infuriating is that this Uzbekistan U23 Asian Cup, even Thailand, Vietnam and other teams have responded positively and have confirmed that they will participate in it. In addition, traditional Asian teams such as Japan, South Korea, Iosa are also listed, and the old rivals of the national football team, Iraq and Qatar, will also participate. It can be said that this U23 Asian Cup gathered the mainstream teams in Asia, but the Chinese team took the initiative to give up such an opportunity to exercise the team and run into the lineup, and the players in the team like Zhu Chenjie, Liu Zhurun, Liu Ruovan, Zhou Junchen and other players who urgently need to accumulate experience in the competition have lost the opportunity to fight for the country.
I don't know what kind of consideration the FA is in this time, do you think that the U23 Asian Cup is of little significance, or are you afraid of going out and losing your eyes? In fact, the Chinese team U23 has performed much stronger than the national team in recent competitions, before Wei Shihao, Zhang Yuning, Duan Liuyu and others were famous in the Asian Cup, only to be called up by the national team, and now they have become the mainstay of the national football team. Nowadays, this group of players has repeatedly not been able to perform in the competition, but Thailand, Vietnam and other teams that are not as strong as China have not missed any opportunity to appear in the competition, which is not a good sign.
According to this situation, even if the next World Cup is expanded, the number of places allocated to the Asian team will increase from 4.5 to 8.5, I am afraid that the national football team will still have no chance. First of all, Japan and South Korea Iaosha is absolutely unable to play, in addition, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan which is easy to deal with, and even now even Syria, Vietnam has become the sworn enemy of the Chinese team, but the Football Association is still stuck in its own way, do not want to forge ahead, if Chen Shuyuan is really afraid of the U23 national team to go to the Asian Cup to lose people, it is really the biggest humiliation in Chinese football.
