When it comes to Chinese football, everyone's first impression is definitely backward. Because on the first day of the Chinese New Year in the Year of the Tiger, we lost 1-3 away to the Asian third-rate Vietnamese team in the round of 12. And the defeat was a complete defeat in terms of process and result, which means that we were completely behind in terms of technical tactics and personal understanding of football. However, in the past decade, our league has only experienced the Golden Dollar Era, and the team has basically invested hundreds of millions of billions of dollars a year, but in exchange for not being able to play in Vietnam, which also strongly stimulates our Chinese fans. Even some fans think that Chinese is not suitable for playing football, and the current level of Chinese players is not good.
But is that really the case? Looking back, our Yang Chen can also play well in Frankfurt in the Bundesliga, Sun Jihai is also the main player of the Premier League for many years, and Zheng Zhi, Li Tie and Shao Jiayi have also had their own brilliant moments in the five major leagues. For now, although Wu Lei is a substitute in La Liga, he has also broken through barca's gate and has an excellent performance in front of Real Madrid. This actually shows that Chinese is not unsuitable for playing football, and it can even be said that Chinese players are not at a good level. So why?
In fact, the answer is very simple, most of the players in China are only playing and growing in leagues with low levels all year round, and their natural growth is slow, and it is difficult to play at a high level. In particular, our national youth league, which used to be basically in the form of cup matches, was not of high quality, the number of games was small, and it could not play a role in training young players. So our players basically grew up in a lack of play. Take our national youth national youth, when they play Asian level matches, they will enter the state later than the Southeast Asian team, and there will be many amateur mistakes, which is actually less experience in the game, late entry into the state, slow adaptation. It didn't start out well, but then it got better and better as the game progressed. However, just a little better, we have been eliminated. After I went back, I didn't play again.
This is the vicious circle of Chinese football. If you want to jump out of such a cycle, the soundness of the league system is a direct method, but doing this well requires too many people to work hard and also requires a long process. So the best way now is to send the players out. Just like our neighbor Japan and South Korea, if they don't send it out, how can there be Son Heung-min, how can there be a first-class star like Fuan Jianyang? So as long as we have enough players, enough potential players to go out, there will definitely be the next Wu Lei, even sun Xingyu who belongs to us, and even we may do better than Japan, South Korea and some European players.
Recently, there is a typical example, he is the captain of our national youth team, the 18-year-old young player He Xiaoke. In 2004, He Xiaoke can be said to be the best of the younger generation of players, showing good talent from an early age, and also led the Chinese national youth team to a 3-1 victory over the South Korean team, and he personally scored a hat-trick. Just last September he officially landed in Spain, joining Spain's Sabadell U19A team. However, because he was under the age of 18, he has not been able to play the game. At the beginning of this year, He Xiaoke turned 18 years old and was also given the opportunity to play for The Sabadell U19A and C teams. And after a period of adaptation, He Xiaoke began to shine.
Just recently concluded Spain's Catalonia U19 Preferred League (3) Group 2, Savadre U19C team played at home to Granollers U19A team, He Xiaoke once again came off the bench to score a goal, to help the team win 4-0. In the last round, He Xiaoke also came off the bench to stage a good play of one pass and one shot, helping the team to win 2-0 against the Badalona Foundation Youth A team. During these two games, He Xiaoke returned to the U19A team to play in the 31st round of Group 3 of the Spanish U19 Honor League (the first national level), and he also came off the bench, sending an assist to help Savader Juniors A beat Mallorca Juniors A 2-0 away.
That is to say, in just 3 games, He Xiaoke contributed 2 goals and 2 assists, and all of them came off the bench. I have to say that He Xiaoke's efficiency is really high, and this actually proves that Chinese players are suitable for playing football, can also play good balls, and even can play outstanding. Seeing He Xiaoke's outstanding performance, it also inspired many fans, and even many fans ridiculed, originally thought to be to learn, He Xiaoke became a technical poverty alleviation, A team sent assists, and then went to team C to fry fish. It has to be said that He Xiaoke's performance has rekindled hope in Chinese football among many fans.
But a Wu Lei, a He Xiaoke, in fact, can not save Chinese football, Chinese football needs more Wu Lei and He Xiaoke, when the number of foreign players is more than the number of Japanese and Korean players, we will certainly be able to stand out from Asia and enter the World Cup.
