Foreword: This article is the twenty-sixth column in the "Next Door Kan ball wisdom football" series.
Chinese football can't do it without tossing.
In September, the big tabloids talked about Hiddink's termination of his contract with the national Olympic team.
Hiddink only signed a contract with the Football Association in September 2018, signing a three-year contract as the head coach of the national Olympic team in preparation for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. At the time, the media said that they hoped Hiddink could promote the development of Chinese football.
In 1 year, Hiddink was kicked away by the Football Association, and the headlines of the newspapers were: No change hiddink, the national Olympic team has no future, and Chinese football needs to be tossed.
To talk about Hiddink's crimes, it seems that there are many: never look at the Chinese Super League, do not select players, and the national Olympic team has performed badly. In short, it was all Hiddink's fault, he delayed the national Olympic team, delayed a lot of good players. I believe Hiddink doesn't care too much about such accusations, because he is not the first and probably will not be the last of the famous coaches in Chinese football.
Gao Leilei angrily posted in the early morning of September 21: It really has nothing to do with Hiddink! Please God can't save Chinese football!

Gao Leilei is an industry insider, this short blog post, the amount of information is very large, he pointed out several problems.
First, the football population, the real level of football competition is built on the pyramid of the football population. He said that in foreign countries, there are more than 1500 young players in a small club, while we have only a small number of people playing professional football, shutting a lot of people out of sports.
Second, our education has gone wrong, separating sports from education, and many players have not graduated from junior high school, cannot read papers, and do not understand economics; on the other hand, the parents' utilitarian ideas, only those who can be football players play football, and the surrounding talents of football are very few.
The problem Gao Leilei said happens to be advocated by "Kanqiu next door" from the beginning, and what Chinese football lacks is not stars, not good coaches, but a lack of good educational concepts. The idea is that physical education is not a subordinate part of education, but a core part of education.
Cruyff has expressed a similar idea, he particularly admired american sports culture, in the American mind, learning and sports are two sides of the same coin, both indispensable. A child can become a doctor, a lawyer, and a rugby player. These two identities do not contradict each other at all.
Although Cruyff feels that Europe is not doing well, and sports and education are still separated, I think it is still much better than China. Gao Leilei also mentioned that when he was at the Spanish club, the owner of the club was both a professional player and a lawyer, as well as a master's degree in sports management, a master's degree in economics, and a master's degree in football management.
In our country, Mr. Cai Yuanpei once said: Complete personality, the first is in sports.
Mr. Cai believes that there are four kinds of healthy personality: physical education, intellectual education, moral education, and aesthetic education. These four breeding are just as important, and you can't relax one of them. Only when there is a sound body can there be a sound spirit. Many educators, even national leaders, attach great importance to sports, but unfortunately, our sports are separated from intellectual education. Athletes who are ready to make sports a career often stop receiving cultural education very early, and it is difficult for students in ordinary schools to adhere to physical exercise with relatively large amounts of exercise.
Why are we not able to practice sports and study abroad, for example, the owners of clubs in Spain, where they can insist on both sports training and study?
The reason is that when children abroad exercise, what they enjoy is the process. When our children exercise, they pursue results, and the purpose is to see if they can reach the level of professional athletes through this kind of training. This stifles our kids to get a sense of well-being through exercise, so fewer people stick to it on the stadium.
Gao Leilei
Regarding the happiness that can be obtained by the process of enjoyment, the famous American psychologist Mikhari Chiksen Miharai elaborated in his book "Flow: the Psychology of Optimal Experience", he said: "Human happiness does not come from money, nor from status or fame, but from inner order and tranquility. This inner order and tranquility, mikhari Chiksen Mihalay called flow.
To achieve flow, there are several conditions. First, attention, the need to concentrate. Second, the goal, no matter what the goal, he is willing to pay for. Third, there is immediate feedback. Fourth, be engrossed, forget and block out everything else. Fifth, we must reach the stage of self-forgetfulness.
Sport has the best conditions for flow: clear goals, immediate feedback, and unbridged challenges that come with easy to learn and difficult to learn. Ball sports, in particular, are even more attractive, because the scores come and go, very immediate, highly stimulating feedback.
Why is it that the pursuit of results, not the pursuit of the process, will make it difficult for people to persist? Mihali also elaborates on this in Flow.
The goal, Mihaly believes, is to do what you love to do, not the reward for doing it. If it is a goal provided by the outside world, it will often have temptations such as rewards, and these things will control you and make you a slave to the external goal. Only by rejecting these rewards, rejecting external goals, and focusing only on one's own heart, then there will be a sense of order and peace in the pursuit. And to be a professional player is an external goal. When a player has an external goal and plays again, it is not easy to get flow.
Therefore, we need to pursue the process, the pursuit of concentration when playing football, the improvement of self-level, and feel the charm of football itself. This is the concept of football education that we want to promote, football culture. In this way, Cruyff can achieve what he calls it: "A real Einstein can be well versed in sports, and a real athlete can understand Einstein." ”
Put sports in the right position of education, let culture become the foundation of football, and Chinese football will have a day of change.
