On November 4, former international player Wang Xiaolong boldly disclosed on social media the injustice he encountered when he led the youth team to compete in the Beijing Youth Football League, he said that within the scope of the charter, he reported two teams to participate in the game as a team leader, but was maliciously reported, the competition committee let himself give up a team, after he politely refused, the competition committee used various "off-field moves" against him, and eventually led to the defeat of his team.

What's even more excessive is that after Wang Xiaolong reflected this situation to the leadership of the competition committee, what he got was not a fair and just treatment, but he was threatened in turn that if he didn't choose to calm down, it would affect the other team he led...

As a result, some of the "gray areas" in Chinese football youth training have once again been nakedly exposed to the public.

After seeing this news, maybe there are sneers and angry reprimands, anyway, in a football game for children of a few ages, there are actually people with hands and eyes who want to do some unsightly things behind their backs, which is really a little laughable.

A great man once said, "Football starts with a baby."

Although Chinese football has been chaotic in recent years, no, the practice of the famous sayings of the great man has not fallen in the slightest, but there seem to be some problems in the way of understanding...

Coach Zhang Lu clearly pointed out that children before the age of 10 play football, and the ultimate important thing is to let them feel the joy of playing football. But obviously, in the eyes of these parents, there is only winning, only champions - so starting from the baby, not to mention whether it can train qualified football players, at least this kind of quick success behavior must be seen by the dolls, once the perception of "doing whatever is reasonable in order to win" is accepted by the teenagers, what is the orientation of their future values, have parents seriously considered it?

Of course, maybe I really thought about it.

With the current state of China's football industry, as a parent who is truly responsible for the future of his child, it is difficult to accept his child to embark on the road of professional football with a pat on his chest - the cost of fault tolerance is low, the rate of return is medium, and the risk is high.

Once you start from this logic, it is clear that the purpose of parents sending their children to play in the youth team is obvious - isn't it just to make their children's resumes more brilliant and roll up at the starting line.

Could it be that someone is really playing for the rise of Chinese football, right?

You talk to parents about the future of Chinese football, but in their eyes, there is an extra stroke on the child's resume, and that is the real future.

To tell the truth, the football side is more or less a real knife and gun game on the bright side, and the eight immortals on the side of the youth scientific research paper cross the sea and a hundred flowers bloom, which is called a breathtaking...

Let's go back to football.

Under this logic of infinite involution, it is not surprising that anxious parents staged a big drama for the championship of a youth football league.

However, the most scary part of this incident is not the off-the-field performance of the parents who are hand-eyed, but what happened to Wang Xiaolong after he reported the matter to the competition committee-

"It's normal for things like this."

"Don't pursue it anymore."

"You have another team, and you don't want that team to have any problems, do you?"

It's really a modern magic drama.

So, is such a thing really "normal"?

Normal, of course.

Wang Xiaolong had to resign as team leader

After all, youth competitions are not profit-making, and they have never been concerned, and there will not be too much funding and investment, but because they want to directly connect with the teenagers and parents of the competition, it is always too much of a test of the spirit of the person in charge of the organizing committee of the event.

The energetic young people around the age of ten (who still practice sports) will be as crazy as their parents will be, and trying to settle and organize this large group of people is indeed a thankless task of horror - about this, the pediatricians in each hospital probably have a deep understanding of this.

So, it was originally a docking work full of pressure, not only to balance the interests of all parties, but also to ensure the fairness of the game, but also to minimize complaints and feedback - the simplest and most crude way is to cut out the person who created the problem.

You see, the governing body and the organizational structure are also people, if they are people, they have "human feelings", everyone is "sensible" a little, you take a step back, I let a little, and if you violate the rules or something, you will be invisible, and everyone will be done with the game if you fool it over.

This is originally a very simple thing, where is there so much "shady" in such a blandly game.

As for the future of Chinese football?

It's rotten like this anyway, and it doesn't seem to matter if there's a future or not, right?

The most interesting thing about the whole thing is that there seems to be a big banner of "Chinese football is rotten anyway", under this black banner, any unreasonable, non-compliant, and abnormal can be automatically corrected to last resort, subordinate, and unaccountable, and then called the "gray area".

The large-scale outbreak of referee problems in the Chinese Super League this year is a gray area; Coach Shui Qingxia hinted that her lineup was interfered with by some forces after the Women's Olympic Qualifiers were eliminated, which is a gray area.

Now even the youth training competition for children of a few years old is a gray area.

This distortion of perception is the most terrible thing - if there is only gray in our eyes, then who will be able to recognize what white is in the near future?

In other words, we can't help but ask, is there still a white zone in Chinese football now?
