About China football, Huang Jianxiang has a good analysis. I think he is quite right:
Huang Jianxiang: First of all, I want to ask you a question. All the students and teachers present can take part in the on-site investigation. What do you think is the first reason that hinders the development of football in China or leads to the current situation of football in China?
Answer: system.
Huang Jianxiang: None of the voices I heard is the right answer. I'm sorry to inform the students of Zhejiang University that you are no more professional in this respect than the students of other universities I taught before, so listen to me. You are the same as the students in other universities. The first thing you think of is that the system is a state institution, which is actually wrong. First of all, the first reason is the friends present. Excuse me, male students here, who were there in your primary and secondary school days? How many/much? Roughly speaking, there are only about 20 people present today, and there are more than 400 seats in this auditorium today. Even if there are half men, they only account for one tenth. I believe all of you here today are football fans, and only one tenth of you have such a game. So the popularity of football in China is the biggest problem.
Too few people play football. Although there are many of us, there are too few people playing football. If everyone can play football according to the popularity of football, how many people can play football for every ten thousand people? Or how many people have played football?
Draw a map of the world with this standard, where will China be? I guess it's also 53 with a magnifying glass. Oh, China, just like we can't find it (through a dark tunnel) and the Vatican on the world map.
This year, we sent about 20 countries and regions into the top 20 of the World Cup. When they came back, the so-called young journalists were dejected and hit hard. What did they say in the same sentence? Although there are many of us, there are too few people playing football?
What is the primary reason for the serious problem of popularization? This is our choice. Our football players, including those from other sports, have been selected for practice since childhood. They are different from you, and their living environment is different from yours. This also means that you are deprived of the right and opportunity to accept this sport. Some of you gave you appropriate opportunities, including Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane from China, but you didn't have the opportunity to get in touch with each other and go to study with big bags on your back, which made both teachers and parents afraid. If you have time, you might as well go.
And those children who go to practice sports are deprived of cultural and educational opportunities. They are even less talented and can only be filled as ordinary players. Their sports talent may not be as good as some people here.
What does sports talent include? Muscle quality, nerve type, reaction type, reaction speed, explosive force, patient coordination, balance ability and even your will quality? This is how our athletes are trained. A certain age, a certain city, a certain province, such as 85 years old, 100 people were selected. When they were 10, they were 100. When they 15 years old, there were still 80 people left. Some people may have broken their legs.
Our popularity has caused problems in selecting materials and training channels. When chatting with us, many of our players said that there are actually many people who are more talented and more suitable for playing football. When they retired, they found that this person was really explosive. Look, he is a student, playing at school, and has no chance to get in touch with him. Many athletes say that we are just living, not breaking our legs. In fact, in terms of talent and brains, some people are not suitable for this job. In literature, art and sports, including scientific research, the happiest time must be your talent. The moment your parents get married determines whether you are Bailey or diego maradona.
When interviewing Bailey, an idiot reporter asked him when the next Bailey would appear. He said there was no one, and my parents' factory had already closed.
In foreign countries, it is found that almost all boys in primary school have the opportunity to play football. This opportunity is fair to everyone, so whether you like it or not is another matter. This opportunity is open to everyone. The high-level coach found that this man has extraordinary qualities. Bailey and Ronaldinho are such people. 9 years old 10 was discovered by the coach, and others were discovered.
For example, being bullied by older children on the court at a very young age will leave a shadow, protect his spiritual level and overcome his shortcomings in training. It doesn't matter if you don't have patience to make you happy, but you get fat easily, so I will control you to eat less sweets.
10 years old, C Luo's primary school teacher wrote a comment saying that this person's future development is unpredictable. Don't make him fat, let him grin and giggle every day. Because in the course of the competition, our team only needs one person, because he has knocked down all the other teams by himself, so there is no need to practice endurance running. When he is a long-distance runner, he will bury himself, make up for your impatience when you were young, change his muscle type, and change this super talented muscle fiber tissue. There will be no Ronaldo now, but there will be a mediocre person, but there will be no Ronaldo, our training system.
Everyone can make up for their own shortcomings, and it is impossible not to practice, because you are not particularly outstanding in individual physical indicators, but you can only practice everything at the average level. I am a mediocre person, and the serious lack of popularity has affected the discovery and reserve of professionals. On the amateur level, locals can play football. I joked that few men have ever played football in China. For example, how many men in our country can play football with 1%?
This is the population of a European country. If we have a man from a European country who can play football, we will definitely play more than Koreans and Japanese. In China, the number of men who can really play football two or three times a week may not exceed two million. The conclusion is that Liu Jianhong is more ruthless, and if it is cut in half, it will be one million. This decision is due to the lack of real participation and understanding. There are many people watching football in China, and the culture of watching football is very developed. There are not many real audiences who really understand football.
So it is easy to be misled, so some people accuse me of misleading everyone. This is understandable, and our work is easy to do. There are not many viewers who have really played, and it is easy to fool.
In the past ten years, I mainly let the audience know and understand football from a professional and accurate perspective. At least the technical terms are understood, but there is also a difficulty. The difficulty is that there are too few people who really understand it, and it is easy to go astray and be misled by football reporters. I'm not aiming at a colleague. Last summer, at the World Youth Championship in the Netherlands, a player of the China team was very happy. She is a reporter of a sports newspaper in Shanghai. I forgive her for being a girl, but I can't forgive her. I thought she was joking. She graduated from Shanghai Sport University. A senior football reporter asked me, is the corner kick a set-piece? I'll explain to her what a set-piece is. First of all, the set-pieces come from English. Corner kicks, penalty kicks and goal kicks are all set kicks, even foul balls. I will explain to her, but there are many reporters who have no chance for me to explain to her. These professional journalists are unwilling to come. They think they understand. Actually, I think they should all come and listen.
The impact of insufficient popularization on professional and amateur aspects has just mentioned two aspects, and there is another aspect.
What I said may not be all. On the other hand, due to the lack of awareness, understanding and thinking mode, and the lack of personal participation, the level of understanding among our fans is definitely not as good as that of Brazil, Italy and Germany. Although the German national team is average, amateur football in Germany is very popular, with hundreds of thousands of amateur games every weekend, especially in primary and secondary schools. Everyone has a good understanding of football and has formed a nation and a country. How to look at the outcome, how to look at the accident, the second subject can be full.
It is because of our participation that we are close to this football. This is because we really need it. We have no problem with quintessence. When is the popularity of football half that of mahjong, that is, half the people who can play mahjong can play football, which is basically invincible in the world?
It takes time for this football culture to accumulate. This topic is not a compliment to the students, but a high hope for everyone. Only when our equipment economy is more developed and developed steadily for 50 years can the people really need all kinds of amateur cultural leisure ways, whether sports or other, active, healthy and legal ways. On this day, reserves and accumulation will be gradually formalized. First of all, it is up to you to build the country's economy and do a good job in all undertakings. We are in an era of peace and prosperity, and people are happy to entertain.
The popularity of football culture, or from this perspective, affects us, our parents and our children. Many children want to join football, which is utilitarian. If their parents spend money to send them to receive football training and training, they will think about what I must do. If I want to rely on this golden rice bowl in the future, I can't regard it as a hobby, have a rich and ideal life, and have a utilitarian heart. I often ask such parents, if your child is young, on the other hand, do you really force him to use it in the future?
Let's not talk about anything else. Judging from people's spiritual level, emotion and personality, I think it is terrible that people don't have one or two healthy emotional hobbies. There is a famous saying in the ancients: "You can't make friends with people who are not addicted." This man has no true temperament.
A few years ago, an incident happened in Ma Jiajue. As a sports figure, if he has a hobby that fascinates him, such as playing football, basketball, long-distance running or lifting weights, he can find a channel to vent and communicate with others. Because it's a language and you have hobbies, will you meet many people and change your life? This is a window. In the growing period, the world outlook of primary and secondary school students is in the forming stage, and active and healthy hobbies in style are very important for a person.
What I just said is the defect of popularizing football culture. In fact, it directly talked about our culture, which hindered the development of football in China and led to the second serious situation of football development.
Every country's cultural tradition has great advantages and disadvantages. Germans are boring when they talk about order. There are many composers in classical music, but there are almost no modern music in Germany. The cultural tradition and historical accumulation of our great Chinese nation have formed national character and culture, which has many advantages. I just said that our culture is not suitable for football.
For example, we grew up from kindergarten to university. What is our favorite sentence about our education from teachers and principals? Our teachers all like good children, but don't like you being too prickly, which is different from others. Our kindergarten lets students sit with their hands behind their backs. In western kindergartens, children can stay as long as they want and do whatever they want. Our education has formed a subconscious for you since childhood, that is, I don't want to be different from others. This will be criticized by the teacher, and I will try to be like everyone else.
However, people should have individual value orientation, and how to protect themselves can only be done in the dark. Even some normal and natural rights desires, including some things that individuals should have, must be suppressed by effective collectivism and collective concept.
Our personal and collective relationship is different from the western world outlook philosophy, which leads to the fact that in our living and working environment, you have not yet entered the society, but it is still quite good. At your age, you enjoy more modern education than we do, so you have more personality than we do, but I believe you will still feel something. Our cultural concept allows us to draw a small circle in any way, and we will find it, whether it is a unit, a school or a team.
We are in such a distorted relationship between the individual and the collective, so many elites, scholars and critics of our nation said in the last century, including West Renye Fang, that we China people are fragmented, but now we are making progress and changing, but this influence does not need more decades, and it needs new people from generation to generation.
This phenomenon comes to the field of football, you can think about the same Asian team. What is the gap between us and the Japanese and Koreans? We don't have that sense of teamwork. This is a habit. You have a subconscious mind since you were a child. Students who have played football may understand what I said. You often have no time to think on the court. Many of your behaviors are reflections formed at ordinary times. Your thinking process is not, but what kind of football can you play after a long time.
Our player always runs passively when playing football, because he has no real teamwork since he was a child. Our so-called concept of unity and collective supremacy is actually forced indoctrination. If the relationship between individual and collective is not resolved, people's hearts will be in conflict. Because their normal desires are suppressed, they will inevitably resist. We are not as good as Japan and South Korea in the spirit of cooperation, and even have no sense of cooperation. On the court, the body is dominated by the subconscious, so he refuses to take another step.
On the other hand, we are not as individual as African and South American players, and we dare to make public and express ourselves, because who dares to do so when we are young? They were all shot by teachers all the way, and when they graduated from college, they had hundreds of stitches on their heads. Football is the combination that individuals and groups need most. Individuals don't have the courage to take responsibility, and the collective actually doesn't have the subconscious mind of real teamwork, or even a conditioned reflex. Let's think it over, shall we?
I talked to many players and our players surprised me. I said you are better than Zidane. Why? Zidane must have only one standard in playing football, and that is how to play a team. The first action is to dominate his body and subconscious accordingly. Our players think more than Zidane. When our players are playing football, they look up. If this person is not nice to me, I won't pass it on to him. I must pass it on to someone who is good to me. Many heavyweight international players have told me that when a game is played well, it is sincere and United. In fact, many of our games.
This is the influence of our social culture on football. Football is a sport with the largest number of people and the largest venue, so it can better reflect the cultural background on which it depends. There is a famous saying in western performances that the right audience has the right actors. I boldly said, "There is a football team and a correct society." Our overall progress, all these pillars will promote the overall progress of society and will lead to development in many aspects.
Finally, there are institutional issues. This method uses reduction to absurdity and various systems. Whether it is the socialist system in the former Soviet Union or the capitalist system in the West, whether it is a personal religion, you can see Islam, Buddhism, Catholicism and Christianity. No matter what, there are excellent teams, many satisfactory records and many excellent stars. So, the system is the last one.
As you can imagine, in the same competition system, we still won 32 gold medals in the Olympic Games, but football can't get on. This is a problem of the national organization of the Football Association. Still not. Brazil has a population of/kloc-0.6 billion, and even if half of them are men, about half of them can play football. When our colleagues interview in Brazil, they can see many people playing football at any time, at all ages, making them think that our reporter is an amateur football expert and embarrassed to apply there. No wonder we were in the' 90s.
However, there is a joke in Brazil that you may not know. Ball king Bailey and Barry Schell are both Brazilian sports ministers, but neither of them can go on angrily, because an open sports minister, equivalent to Yuan Weimin of our country, can't be the president of the Brazilian Football Association, and he doesn't even know what game Brazil is playing.
The glorious football kingdom is ridiculous. Do you know that Brazil has a regular football league? They all go their own way, thinking that they are the best in the world. Rio has been playing their own league. They play the league in their own state, playing the Brazil Cup and the Libertadores Cup in South America at the same time. The most ridiculous thing is that one day, I can't remember this date clearly, but I want to say that on this day, the great Sao Paulo team sent four teams to participate in four games at the same time, so the position of the president of the Brazilian Football Association will definitely not be reversed.
Pele, an outstanding sports minister, is more respected than the president because they are very popular in Brazil. They can't control Football Association President teixeira. Everyone remembers the draw ceremony for the 1998 World Cup in France and the United States. At that time, Pele was not invited to the ceremony. They are very dark.
Zico was the sports minister for two years at the age of 40, but he couldn't compete with him. In Brazil, he can't even make a living. No team asked him to be a coach, and then he would go to Japan to play "L League". Why is Zico so respected in Japan? It is because he has the appeal to drive the Japanese league after he is 40 years old that he has really driven the overall development of Japanese football. Zico's treatment in Japan is extremely generous, so he was specially invited to pull such a person because of him.
The Brazilian once said such a joke. Brazilians believe that God is Brazilian. They also think that when God created football and the world, they asked Brazilians what you wanted. The Brazilian said that we want the best players, so Brazil has the best players, which matches the worst football manager in the world, but this does not prevent them from winning the world championship.
Therefore, the system is secondary. If it is not popular, if we have 654.38 million+primary and secondary school students who play football two or three times a week all the year round, and let tens of thousands of people behind each China player keep an eye on his position, they will certainly play well. If it is one in a million, one in a thousand, these players will not think about it at all.
Finally, I want to repeat the current situation of football in China for three reasons, in order of importance: popularity, culture, and finally the system.
