Chinese football is facing the most difficult situation in recent decades. This dilemma is reflected in the national team, that is, a "national brand" team with a dismal record, the Chinese national football team is not successful, and even lost to the past "points boy" Vietnam. For a time, where china's football road is, has become a realistic problem in front of us.
In fact, if we look at the history of Chinese football, we have never really solved this problem in the real sense. In other words, in the past three decades of professional reform, although countless practitioners have come and gone, what kind of development route Chinese football should take is still a mystery to this day.
Compared with Chinese football, other major football powers in Asia have found a development path that is in line with their own characteristics. Taking the three major opponents of the national football team in the top 12 as an example, Japan is based on youth training and healthy operation of the league, on the basis of the introduction of Brazil's technical flow style, and send a large number of foreign players to learn The advanced football concept of Europe, multi-pronged, and finally created today's First Asian giant.
Australia's own football foundation is not strong, but relying on the natural connection with British football, combined with the excellent physical fitness of its own players, it has also created a major team in Asia; Saudi Arabia was originally the representative of the technical flow of football in West Asia, and in recent years, a large number of european high-level foreign aid has been introduced through the league, which has greatly increased the competitive pressure of Saudi players, strengthened the original weak mental will and tactical discipline, and also allowed Saudi Arabia to stand out at the beginning of the group stage.
Other football, such as Iran, South Korea, and even Vietnam and Thailand, have also gone out of their own development models with distinct strengths and characteristics. Only Chinese football, what route we want to take, what football style we want to carry forward, no one can say clearly.
The chaotic development concept of Chinese football can be seen from the countless "Handan toddlers" in history. Twenty years ago, the Football Association had believed that Chinese players were not skilled, so they called for learning the grandfather of "willpower football", Germany; later, seeing That Italy win the 06 World Cup, it held a meeting to call for learning Italian defensive counterattack.
Within a few years, Spanish football rose, and the Football Association proposed to learn Spain at a high-level meeting, and at that time there was a disagreement over whether to learn Spain or Portugal. In recent years, everyone is familiar with things, Chinese football to learn Italy for a while, but also ambitiously let the Italian team supervise the national teams at all levels; but after a while to learn back to Germany, and even briefly asked to follow Croatia.
This kind of purely utilitarian and non-continuous so-called "learning" not only did not let Chinese football learn any real materials, but even learned the characteristics of the past "Chinese head team".
In contrast, Australia, since the birth of the fetus to England as a teacher, Japan to learn Brazil, South Korea to learn the Netherlands can continue for at least more than ten years; and Chinese football, to see who is the wind and who, but can never even learn the skin.
Now that Chinese football has fallen to the bottom, it is believed that soon, leaders will propose a development model in the hope of saving this deep industry. Hopefully, this time, we will be able to stick to at least one line, knowing that half-hearted people can't do anything at any time.
