The rout of the Asian Cup of the national football team has triggered widespread reflection
In the 2024 Asian Cup, the Chinese national football team suffered three consecutive defeats and failed to advance, becoming a major defeat in this tournament. The match against Myanmar became the last swan song of the national football team, and the poor performance of zero goals in three games hit fans and public opinion.
The worst record in history sparked criticism from the People's Daily
The People's Daily took the lead in criticizing the performance of the national football team, pointing out that it was the worst record in the history of the Asian Cup in 43 years. All walks of life have expressed their disappointment with the national football team, and Fan Zhiyi's prediction ten years ago was mentioned again. Public opinion generally believes that the overall strength, execution and tactical arrangements of the national football team are in urgent need of reform.
There has been no substantial improvement in management change
Unlike the defeat in the Asian Cup, this time the defeat of the national football team triggered a more profound reflection. People are beginning to question whether the measures to reform football are really effective and whether they have fundamentally solved the problem. The change of the chairman of the Football Association and the promotion of football reform have failed to bring about a substantial improvement in the national football team. The People's Daily's call for comprehensive reform has once again drawn attention to the problems at the management level of football.
The defeat reveals problems with football's governing system
The defeat of the national football team has once again raised questions about football management. Do the reform measures really go deep into the fundamental problems of the football system? The shortcomings of the football management system, including the role of the Football Association and the soundness of the league system, need to be comprehensively reviewed. Football development is not only an issue at the national team level, but also the popularization of football at the grassroots level and the cultivation of talents.
The fire at the training institution raised questions from the management
Unlike the national football team's defeat, the recent fire at a training institution in Kunming has also raised questions about the management. Although the fields are different, as in football, the accident reveals doubts about the management of training institutions. The deficiencies of the management in auditing the teaching quality and material safety of the training institutions were exposed. Similar to football, there is more responsibility on the part of the management of training institutions.
Management needs to communicate with fans to improve grassroots football
Chinese football has been facing the problem of high expectations from fans for many years. The performance of the national football team often disappoints the fans, but the expectations are still high. Football management needs to better communicate with fans and clearly communicate the practical difficulties and goals of reform. Football development is not only an issue at the national team level, but also the popularization of football at the grassroots level and the cultivation of talents. Investing in grassroots football and improving the training system for football coaches is also part of football reform.
Future development requires comprehensive and in-depth reforms
Sports commentator Zhao Li pointed out: "Football is a sport that requires perseverance and hard work, and only through deep reflection and comprehensive reform can the rise of national football be realized." "The defeat of the national football team makes us once again deeply feel that the road to football reform is long, but we believe that only through more comprehensive and in-depth reform can Chinese football move towards a brighter road of development in the future.
