The dismal exit of the Chinese women's football team and the South Korean women's football team has broken the hearts of countless fans. But in fact, the Chinese women's football team has already planted the seeds of defeat in the match with the North Korean women's football team. At that crucial moment, a missing badge became a fatal mistake. Coach Shui Qingxia was helpless to find that the players did not carry documents, and in just one minute of chaos, the Chinese women's football team suffered an irreparable blow. Such low-level negligence exposes serious problems at the management level. Where are the team leaders and logistical support teams derelict in their duties, and why do the players despise such important details? These questions highlight the lack of management in Chinese football.
What's even more embarrassing is that the new chairman of the Football Association, Song Kai, once proudly demanded that the Chinese women's football team must qualify for the Paris Olympics, but he could not prevent such a low-level mistake from happening. The failure of the leadership team is attributed to Song Kai's primary responsibility. Can he change the decline of Chinese football with slogans alone? The question is in front of us, but no one can give a definite answer.
Chinese football is facing many problems, and the low level of management is one of them. Song Kai's rhetoric has not been translated into practical actions, and only real reform can bring about a turnaround. The exit of the Chinese women's football team is a wake-up call that we must not be deceived by empty slogans. Only reform can revive the majesty of Chinese football.
