In the first round of the AFC Champions League group stage, two Chinese teams handed over a tragic answer sheet, Guangzhou 0-5, Shandong Taishan 0-7, the two teams together lost a 0-12 score, a goal can not score, such a Chinese Super League team, really to the Chinese football shame, reduced to Asian football joke.
How to save Chinese football? No one has an answer! The South Korean media is also very concerned about the Chinese men's football team, gave a diagnosis, gave a plan, and believes that the Chinese team lost to 0-12 in the AFC Champions League is really humiliating, and now the current situation is that it is time to learn from Chinese table tennis, so that there is salvation.
South Korean media outlet Khan said the Chinese team collapsed in the Asian Champions League. Shandong lost 0-7 to Daegu. Guangzhou lost 5-0 to Malaysia, why can't China play football? It's a question that has been asked countless times, and Lee Jang-so once said: "That's because they failed to regain their roots, that is, they didn't develop youth football!" ”
It is not known how many young football players there are in China. It is reported that each professional team has about dozens of people. The country no longer develops football. As business conditions deteriorate, soccer team operators are recouping their investments. Parents also give their children a successful career movement. At home it is table tennis, badminton, abroad it is golf, tennis, etc., and football has become a venture capital with no future.
Football is not a sport that can be learned well by a large population. Chinese is more than 1.4 billion, but it is ranked 77th in FIFA. No. 2 fifa is Belgium. The population is only 16 million. There are 798 professional players and 24 professional teams, which is less than in China. But Belgium's youth football system is among the best in the world.
China's strongest sport in the world is table tennis. There are five reasons why Chinese table tennis is better. Broad grassroots, excellent instructors, the highest level of training, a strong league system, a Blue Partner system.
China's population plays table tennis every day at 85 million. There are 30 million registered players alone. The majority of players have been exposed to table tennis since childhood, often in their own home with the world's strongest players, accumulate experience, if they dominate the world, they will become coaches to teach teenagers, the Chinese table tennis league has 7 levels. Such a virtuous circle is enough to dominate the world.
In contrast, Chinese football has only participated in the 2002 World Cup, and it was also because South Korea and Japan played as host countries that China was lucky enough to step onto the World Cup stage. China's goal is to reach the final round of the next World Cup, the 2026 World Cup in the United States. Starting with the World Cup in the United States, the number of countries entering the official competition will increase to 48. The Asian quota has been increased from the current 4.5 to 8.5. Even so, it is difficult to guarantee that China will be able to participate in the World Cup. China is currently ranked 9th in Asia.
If China wants to play football well, they can play like table tennis. If you've been doing this for more than 10 years, maybe you can play in the World Cup.
