The first round of the World Cup group stage presented too much "unbelievable" to the world's fans. The Japanese men's football team successfully defeated the German men's football team, a multi-time World Cup winner, with highly targeted technical and tactical arrangements. With its tenacious struggle, the Saudi men's team staged a big turnaround when the score was behind and the situation was behind, defeating the Argentine men's team led by Messi. The South Korean men's team faced South American hegemony Uruguay and eventually drew 0-0.
So what is the reason for the surprise of Japan, South Korea and Saudi Arabia, and the rapid improvement of results? Why is it difficult for the Chinese men's football team, which is also Asian physical, to improve its ability? The author believes that the high probability is directly related to the following three reasons.
First, high income and low competition
As we all know, the domestic professional football field is roughly in a state of two highs and one low. Two of them are the high threshold for playing professional leagues, which I believe most fans know very well, and the high salary of professional players. Then the high threshold will lead to a small talent base of professional players, and real talents may give up their football career at a certain step. And high salaries will reduce the competitiveness between players, forming a low competition situation. To put it bluntly, the so-called stars of these people in the football circle do not have to worry about unemployment at all.
In contrast, Japanese football has a large number of talents from high school, and the Japanese Football Association and clubs have very strict criteria for selecting talents, even if they do not pass the technical level, they will be turned away. So over time, the Japanese men's football team can have a lot of reserve talents, and the national football team has played year after year, and it is still that group of veterans.
Second, the departments involved are too complex
Football is a sport, and if you want sports to develop smoothly, you should let professionals do professional things. However, in the Chinese football environment, the departments involved in this part of the content are too complicated, and there is some "face" to consider, as well as the interdiction with the public service department, and there is still no accurate statement on who has the decision-making power.
Third, the concept is backward
I don't know if any fans have found that since the national football team entered the World Cup in 2002 and then the Qatar World Cup in 2022, the people involved in the development of Chinese football in the past 20 years are the same people. Then 20 years of using the same thinking and thinking to develop football must be a backward state. Therefore, if the national football team wants to develop, it is necessary to realistically introduce advanced ideas suitable for its own development.
