For the reason why Chinese football has not been able to improve its performance, there are many kinds of statements in the outside world, and many of the reasons seem to be able to explain it, but what causes the current situation of Chinese football is certainly not a single factor that can be determined, and for this problem is basically the person who is in the problem itself, it is more difficult to distinguish the essential reason. On the contrary, outsiders have more say in this issue. Recently, Xu Zhengyuan, the main coach of Chengdu Rongcheng, talked about the problems of Chinese football when participating in a show, pointing out that Chinese players are not physically and trained enough, so Chinese players can only play slow-paced games.
Xu Zhengyuan talked about this issue when he was a guest on the program of "Football Newspaper Parlor". The Chengdu Rong city coach said that the problem is not only the Existence of Chinese players themselves, but also the problem of asian players as a whole, that is, the pace of the game is very slow, and the gap with European football is also widening.
He pointed out that in the past, some of the players he brought with him in South Korea often did not touch the ball for a month when they went to play in Europe, for reasons that were not complicated, because the rhythm there was not at all the usual rhythm of the Asian League, because the pace of the game was really too fast. Xu Zhengyuan said that this problem exists throughout Asia, and there is a gap between Korean football and Europe at this point, and this is also a key factor in why European football is very ornamental, because the pace of the game there is fast, and the transition between attack and defense is very fast. The same slow-paced game, its ornamentation is also very poor, and to change this, is to correct this problem through training, if the training team can not be paced, then against the fast-paced team, it will naturally be very passive.
Xu Zhengyuan's words have their truth, but they are not complete. Asian football, especially the Chinese Super League, in terms of viewing effect, is indeed incomparable with European football, and people who pay attention to the European League and the Chinese Super League at the same time can clearly perceive the rhythm gap between the two leagues. In the Chinese Super League game, most of the players give people the feeling that they are waiting for the ball to come, rather than taking the initiative to pick up, and doing actions at high speed, and the offensive and defensive conversions of the European League are completed at a high tempo speed, so the game is naturally better, and the Chinese Super League players are accustomed to such a dragging rhythm to play, and when playing against those fast-paced teams, it is naturally difficult to adapt.
As can be seen from China's first match against Australia in the round of 12, we can see that our players do have problems with physical reserves. Most of the opponent's players are playing in Europe, so it is basically a European team, and the national football team can indeed form an effective impact in the initial stage when facing this opponent, but then it shows a state of physical weakness, and the deformation of the technical action deepens the basic skills itself, which has become the main reason for the direct takeover by the opponent in the second half of the game.
But this is only one of the points, in the final analysis, it is the individual ability of the players, for the slow pace of the Chinese Super League, one interpretation is that everyone is used to playing football in this way, but at the same time there is a view that this is the player's personal basic skills are too poor, resulting in them simply no way to complete technical actions in the high-speed process and pass the ball and cooperate. It should be said that the so-called acceleration of the pace of training and the strengthening of the player's personal strength are not in conflict, and even each other. Therefore, simply to increase the pace and speed of training, may have a certain effect in the short term, but this can not solve the essence of the problem, the focus is still how to let the player's personal ability to improve, with stronger strength, naturally can complete the speed.
Xu Zhengyuan also believes that in the whole of China, many players do not have enough physical fitness and training, so this needs to be strengthened. In addition, he also took out the Chengdu Rongcheng Club he coached as an example and pointed out that in the past 1 year, the team's physical strength has improved a lot, and the new players may feel very hard and difficult in the first month, but they will slowly adapt. Because the whole team is fast-paced, but it's hard to change the process, but even if it's hard, you have to do it.
Xu Zhengyuan's words may be used as a reference indicator for the next Improvement of Chinese football, that is, each team should strengthen the intensity and rhythm of these 2 points when training, as mentioned above, players need to strengthen their personal strength, but for older players, it is difficult to get effective improvement in technology, and they cannot start again, so it may be a very effective way to strengthen the intensity and rhythm of the game in the short term. Of course, the specific also depends on what results Chengdu Rongcheng can play in the new season, if it can really achieve good results, it means that Xu Zhengyuan's theory is still correct, but if the record is dismal, it shows that we still have a lot of work to do.
