Why is it that the team that performs very well in the league looks so embarrassed once it reaches the international arena? Why is it that the national football team is destined to be beaten passively when it encounters strong Asian teams (such as Japan and South Korea)?

In the face of the practical problems of the club and the national team, CCTV's famous column Football Night interviewed Cui Kangxi, the head coach of Shandong Taishan team.

Until now, everyone is still hotly discussed, the AFC Champions League one-eighth knockout round, Shandong Taishan two-legged, away against Kawasaki Frontale in the classic battle. However, the process and reasons for creating such a result are full of ups and downs.

Choi Kang-hee first expressed his opinion: in the face of the Japanese team, you must defeat the opponent, at least you can't be psychologically afraid of the opponent, because she hates the Japanese team very much. If you are the head coach of a South Korean team, then this requirement must be fulfilled (give a must-kill order).

However, this requirement may not be fulfilled by the Chinese Super League team, mainly in two aspects:

First of all, the rhythm of the Chinese Super League is very different from that of the J League, which is relatively slow, which is very troublesome. The high-level competition of the AFC Champions League, the back and forth offensive and defensive conversion is very fast, and the teams in the Chinese Super League will suffer a lot in this regard when they encounter relatively strong Japanese and South Korean teams. Because there isn't that much time for you to think and observe, and when you're still hesitating, your opponent is already pounced on and quickly transformed. Maybe the teams in the Chinese Super League can withstand a few rounds of competition, but can they withstand the continuous counterattack of the whole game?

The lack of adaptation to the rhythm will bring psychological baggage to the players, and it is reasonable to lose the game.

Secondly, there is another important point, that is, the players of the Chinese Super League are very uncomfortable with the blowing scale in the AFC Champions League. In the Chinese Super League, blowing penalties will be more intensive, making it difficult to play a smooth attack throughout the game, and trivial games will seriously affect the quality of the game and the condition of the players. And in continental competitions like the AFC Champions League, including the J-League, they really encourage confrontation, and many fouls are not blown at all. This is very uncomfortable for Chinese Super League players, because in the Chinese Super League it is a foul, but in the continental arena it is a reasonable action. This is one of the manifestations of today's football encouraging confrontation, and hopefully the Chinese Super League will be further improved.

It is important to know that in addition to their excellent individual ability, the adaptability of the Japanese team is also very important. In order to combine the trend of international football, the J-League has made a great modification to the scale of blowing penalties, and the current J-League blowing penalties are very lenient, which not only increases the net game time, but also allows the players to focus more on the game.

The combination of the above two reasons, that is, the slow pace of the game and the scale of blowing penalties, is an important reason why it is difficult for Chinese Super League teams to break through in continental competitions in recent years.

When asked, "Is there really a big gap between Chinese football and Japan and South Korea?" Choi Kang-hee bluntly said no, mainly psychologically, and gave practical examples.

After qualifying for the AFC Champions League, the Taishan team met Kawasaki Frontale, and at that time the vast majority of people thought that the Taishan team was likely to lose. Of course, this is also very normal, after all, there was indeed a certain gap in the strength of the two teams at that time, but it was not the kind of insurmountable absolute strength and weakness.

Most teams in Japan pay attention to ground coordination, more precisely, a small range of local areas, and are good at using two-over-one and triangular pass control to control the overall situation and play with points. Since our team has no opponent to do well in this area, then we will use what we are good at and play our own ideas. For example, confrontation is Shandong Taishan's strength, so we use constant full-court pressing and high-pressure pressing to destroy the opponent's small-scale passing and control, making it difficult for the opponent to play the rhythm he likes.

In addition, off the field, Cui Kangxi and his coaching team constantly instilled the idea of "not being afraid of the opponent, but daring to come forward and press". With mental guidance and a clear tactical arrangement, the team achieved good results.

Therefore, if we can do it at the club level, why can't the national team do it? We are indeed inferior to our opponents in terms of technology, but why don't we have the spirit to dare to fight for our lives?

However, through the AFC Champions League, the competition with Kawasaki Frontale and Yokohama Mariner made Cui Kangxi feel very deeply: there are some problems, which can indeed be changed through guidance, but there are some problems that are difficult, such as the players' playing habits, which is a very fatal point!

Therefore, Cui Kangxi talked about the two major drawbacks of the league, and also mentioned the shortcomings for youth training, should we do something in football?

In the end, Cui Kangxi once again expressed his respect for the Shandong Taishan team, and admitted that after he came to the Taishan team, almost all matters about the game were fully dominated by himself, and the club management did not participate at all. This is a very good management model, because in many teams, especially some small and medium-sized teams, the management always interferes in the management of the team, as well as the arrangement of troops, which is very irresponsible for the growth and performance of a team.

When asked if Choi Kang-hee would like to be the coach of the national football team, Choi Kang-hee did not want to return to this question.
