Gymnastics is a strong sport in China, and many excellent gymnasts have emerged. Famous players such as Li Ning, Li Xiaoshuang, Tong Fei, Lou Yun, Li Xiaopeng, Yang Wei, Cheng Fei, He Kexin, Deng Linlin and other famous players have achieved excellent results in international competitions.
Li Xiaoshuang is a native of Xiantao, Jingzhou, Hubei Province, born in 1973. He boldly used the "backflip for three weeks" at the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games, winning the free gymnastics championship with a score of 9.925 points, becoming the only gymnastics gold medal won by the Chinese men's gymnastics team at the Barcelona Olympics. At the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, he won a gold medal in the individual all-around.
Compared with Chinese gymnasts who have won gold medals in world competitions, including the Olympic Games, the performance of the Chinese men's football team can only be described as dismal. In the 2022 Qatar World Cup Asian Qualifier Round of 12, the national football team only achieved a record of 1 win, 3 draws and 6 losses, and missed the World Cup early. The men's soccer players have been under much criticism lately.
As an athlete, Li Xiaoshuang also knows more about various sports, after all, some things are connected. For the current situation of national football, gymnast Li Xiaoshuang has a feeling of hating iron and steel.
Li Xiaoshuang said: "The Chinese men's football team is not good, what is the problem? Is it the coach who can't? No, we can't do it ourselves. This 'product' doesn't work, you find someone to sculpt him, it's too difficult. Some people say that this person is so strong. This strong and fat are two concepts. Strong is muscular, fat is paralyzed, round. Fat guys definitely can't play football. I don't know if Li Xiaoshuang is alluding to the white chopped chickens of the national football team who have a round belly and a fat flesh with white flowers.
Li Xiaoshuang continued: "Football is a confrontational sport. Our Chinese women's soccer team, there is a ball kicked over, directly take the body to top it. The men's soccer team passed, the ball passed, and immediately avoided. This is a natural reaction. When this ball is kicked, it will not be dangerous for me. I'm physically strong enough to hold the ball. Looking at what Li Xiaoshuang said, it can be seen that he knows more about the national football team. Isn't it the female football player Wang Xiaoxue who takes the body top ball?
In this year's Women's Asian Cup final, the Chinese women's football team defeated the South Korean women's football team 3-2 to win the championship. During the game, Wang Xiaoxue put his hands behind his back and used his body to directly block the shots of the South Korean players, which touched the Chinese people.
The one who dodged the ball naturally referred to the men's football team member, the captain Wu Xi. When his teammates passed the ball to him, he didn't think about stopping the ball or creating other opportunities, but simply bowed his head and avoided it. As for whether Wu Xi was worried that the ball he passed was too dangerous, afraid that his body could not hold it, only he knew.
Li Xiaoshuang said that tacit cooperation is needed, and there needs to be an understanding between players and players. Like the ball passed to Wu Xi by his teammates, it was because of the lack of tacit understanding. If it was passed too heavily and directly knocked Wu Xi unconscious, it would be more than worth the loss. Li Xiaoshuang is also quite humorous.
At the same time, Li Xiaoshuang believes that there are also problems in the management of national football. For example, in the selection of materials, players enter the national team, they represent the national team to play. So whether these players are physically capable enough, is it the best athlete to choose?
Then the player says it's hard, but not really hard. The marketization of men's football has been many years, the management of the club is not perfect, the requirements for athletes, the daily physical fitness training, what the program looks like, the outside world does not know. But one thing is certain, as Li Xiaoshuang said: "If you don't work hard, you get a high salary, (and you don't achieve good results) then everyone will definitely scold you." ”
The problem is that the national football team is now scolding. Gong Hanlin said a fact, and he was reprimanded by the members of the national football team.
Li Xiaoshuang is still a player in the system, and he knows that if he does not work hard, he will be scolded by everyone. In their time, sports had not yet formed a market, but the requirements for performance were very high. He once said, "You have to get a gold medal!" I need it, and the country needs this gold medal even more. To prove that Chinese sports are strong. "The people of their time really fought for the country, for the honor of the country.
Today's national football players do not necessarily have this sense of mission.
Li Xiaopeng has a deep understanding. When he was the head coach of the national team, it was difficult to understand a problem. "In the league, the players face high-level players such as Fellaini, Paulinho, Oscar, etc., and our international team can also win, but when it comes to the national team, facing players who we can't name, the international team will have more than enough and not enough. It's hard for me to accept, and on a psychological level, I don't think it should be. ”
I think that in addition to the psychological problems of the national football team members and the lack of confidence in international competitions, there are also attitude problems. Do they take the national team games seriously, and are they willing to take the national team games seriously? Some players are worried about being injured in the national team game and cannot participate in the league normally, resulting in an impact on income, and they cannot work hard in the national team game. How can this play well in the national team, and how can the national football team win the game?
There are many problems with national football. In addition to improving the technical level of players and improving physical fitness, it is also necessary to do psychological construction so that players are willing to play for the country. If you can't do several things, there is no need to recruit into the national team.
