We should have the courage to admit that "vegetables" are not the original sin of Chinese football, and the football dyeing vat that makes players become "dishes" is the original sin of Chinese football.
The 0-2 loss to Oman is not only the finish line of the Chinese men's football team to impact the Qatar World Cup, but also the official end of the 85 national youth. Born in 1987, the "third brother" Arthur Junmin is the last active international of the 85 Golden Generation. In the second half of the Sino-Arab war, the "three brothers" came on as a substitute, more like a ceremonial end of the golden generation of players.
People always say that "dish" is the original sin of Chinese football. If you compare the current level of Chinese men's football with the Asian strong team, there is nothing wrong with this. However, if the time is extended a little longer, in the past two decades, Chinese football has not produced players who have given people hope. The most typical is the "three brothers", a group of golden generation national youth players. Together with Qu Bo and Dewey's earlier "super platinum generation", they are all lucky to grow up after the professionalization reform of Chinese football. The starting point of their football career coincided with the 1990s, when the A-League was at its hottest. They have all performed well, even amazingly, at the Asian Youth Championships or the World Youth Championships. Their presence makes us have to admit the fact that "cai" is not the original sin of Chinese football.
Chinese football should reflect on why, from qubo to the "three brothers", a batch of players who have brought us many surprises, not only can not make Chinese football have the slightest improvement, but have fallen to the point where even the former "little brothers" such as Vietnam and Oman can step on it casually?
Feng Jianming, the leader of the 85 national youth team, has publicly admitted that even among the golden generation of players of the 85 national youth, there is also a situation of false age. He believes that one consequence of changing the age is that the player's talent rate is low and the sports career is too short. However, he also stressed that the false declaration of age is not something that players can decide, it is a social problem. From this point of view, the original sin of Chinese football has a lot to do with the chaotic management of football associations at all levels and the rush for quick success.
In addition to falsely reporting their age, many players of the 85 national youth generation have fallen prematurely, which in Feng Jianming's view is caused by the football environment. In this environment, some players who were originally very characteristic often do not get better opportunities for growth. Some players lose the motivation to keep going, don't ask much of themselves, and squander their talents. In other words, compared with the false declaration of age, due to the poor professional quality of young players, it seems to be more harmful to Chinese football.
However, we should see that, in general, the professional quality of players has little to do with individuals, and it is a concentrated embodiment of the professional quality of chinese football practitioners as a whole. For example, young players' perceptions of the profession are of course most influenced by coaches. The attitude of the Football Association and the club responsible for assessing the coach to football directly determines the coach's working attitude. We have no reason to expect that the quality of players must exceed the level of the industry, especially in today's Chinese football system, players are relatively weak.
Regrettably, for a long time, the Chinese Football Association and Chinese football investors have not escaped the fate of betting on the World Cup again and again. In order to gamble on the World Cup, the Football Association has never really taken into account the interests of the league, and many of the league's policies are too willful. This situation repeats itself, even if club investors want to build a century-old club, reality does not allow it, and can only play with a speculative mentality.
Therefore, such a thing as a club's salary arrears has not decreased in China's professional football circles for a long time, and it has become more and more intense, and there is a great tendency to not blame the public. The entire football circle, from the manager of the Football Association to the club investors to the players, in fact, can not plan for the future in the long run, can only step on the watermelon peel to slide to where it is. Even if there is a group of players with some characteristics, it is only a matter of time before they are assimilated and become mediocre in the big dye vat of Chinese football. In fact, even if foreign aid has been in China for a long time, it will take the initiative to adapt to the general environment of Chinese football rather than improve it, not to mention those local players who have become famous at a young age.
The "three brothers" were able to persist until the last minute of this World Preliminary Tournament, and as the main player of the 85 golden generation, he has done his best to complete his mission. However, the big dye tank of Chinese football still did not let go of such a talented and professional player, and the pain of unpaid wages also took his turn. Moreover, so far, I have not seen any signs of changes in the chinese football environment, and everyone seems to have turned a blind eye to such things as wage arrears. How does this allow the successors of the "three brothers" to face such a sinister football scene?
A well-known youth football coach told reporters that after the 2005 age group, the number and quality of children playing football have been greatly improved, and he believes that there is still great hope for the future of Chinese football. From a technical point of view, we believe that Chinese football should have a "super platinum generation" and "golden generation" in the future. Moreover, with the improvement of training level, it is not unusual that there will be some players with comprehensive ability of more than 85 golden generation in the future. However, if we still just wait for these players to grow up with a big gamble mentality, and then expect them to create the miracle of Chinese football, it is likely that we will end up disappointed in the end.
How to create a future for the successors of the future "three brothers" and for the future talented young players, without large-scale salary arrears, so that every player can play with dignity, Chinese football needs to think seriously and take action from top to bottom. We should have the courage to admit that "vegetables" are not the original sin of Chinese football, and the football dyeing vat that makes players become "dishes" is the original sin of Chinese football.
