For many years, there has been a lot of criticism against the national football team. In this Beijing Olympics, the Chinese army has been making great progress, but the national football team has died down early, which has attracted a lot of criticism!
In the media and on the Internet, we often see ridicules like this - "I promise you won't cum for 90 minutes! The Chinese men's football team is the spokesperson!", "Cherish life and stay away from the national football team.", etc. From this point of view, the Chinese people's sympathy for the men's football team has reached the point where "the sorrow is greater than the death of the heart".
The reason for the above-mentioned curses is probably because the fans hate that iron cannot become steel, and the reason is probably that the national football team is not living up to expectations. There are many people who criticize players, coaches and the Football Association. But I think these scolders lack deep thinking and rational analysis. I think it is an indisputable fact that the national football team has failed the people's high expectations for many years, but the reason for disappointing the people is not that simple. To sum up, the following are roughly the following:
1. Football is round! People are round too!
Football is round. This is a concept that has been popular on green fields in recent years. It means that it is difficult to control the flight path of the ball when it is kicked with your feet. When the ball falls, any Everything can happen, it could be a goalkeeper accidentally letting go, or a defender scoring an own goal.
No one in China, including fans and people engaged in football (including football players), cannot understand the truth that "football is round." However, few people can understand by analogy - a deeper truth that exists in the Chinese football environment - that people are also round.
People are also round, that’s what I say. This means that at the grassroots level of the football industry, in various football schools and even in the streets and alleys in our country, there are many talented young people who sleep and sleep and dance with football! But how do our football staff select them? Even if a boy of about 10 years old has superb footwork, talent, and excellence, will our football workers immediately include him in a municipal or provincial football training team? Will our football workers search for such seeds all over the mountains and plains?
The football is round, how round is it? It’s so complete that no one dares to say what the future will be for a child who wears worn-out shoes or even plays football barefoot on the street. Football is not as intuitive as other sports. It’s not like Yao Ming who is more than 2 meters tall and you don’t let him play basketball. The whole world will not spare you, and unlike Bolt who ran 9.69 seconds, if you don’t let him participate in the 100-meter final, you are the sinner of the world! Therefore, in the selection process of football teenagers, you can say that this child has a future and that child has no future, because none of these children have scored in international A-level competitions, and their goals in middle school games have no meaning. , as long as you are a football authority in a certain place, you have the right to decide which of these children will participate in the city team, provincial team or even the national team. You can also decide to bury any football-loving teenager in the soil.
The author once talked with the junior high school teacher of Su Maozhen, the former Chinese national football player and winner of the A-A Golden Boot Award. The teacher told me that when Su Maozhen was in junior high school (a football school in Jinan), he The level of football players in the class is only in the middle range. Regardless of offensive and defensive awareness, football talent, basic football skills and even physical fitness, Su Guoqiu is an ordinary student. In the competition between classes, Su is at best a green leaf in the team. His organization, assists, scoring, defense and many other technical indicators are average. However, his classmates who were more skilled than him were not selected for the higher-level football training team. Liu Yue, who was similar in skills to the national football team, and his classmate Tang Xiaocheng, who was slightly better than the two, were recruited by their parents through unusual channels. , sent to a higher level of professional football teams. Later, the three became the core of the Luneng Taishan football team.
What about those students who are higher than Su, Liu, and Tang? Some of them now sell barbecue on street corners, some have become police officers, and some have become doctors. Some of them are down and out, and some are nouveau riche, but they have all deviated from their original promising football path. Imagine that if these students are also selected to enter the city or provincial training team, their achievements may not be higher than those of the former "Golden Boots". However, it is possible that their achievements will be higher than those of the former "Golden Boots". Isn't it bigger?
Poor literature and rich military skills! Back in feudal society, ordinary people's children could only live in poverty for ten years in order to gain fame. As for the rich man, he can take advantage of his ancestors' wealth without having to think too hard. In ancient times, it was impossible to learn martial arts without a well-off family background. The legendary practice of stealing skills from masters in many martial arts novels was only an isolated phenomenon. Only wealthy families can hire martial arts masters to teach their skills at home, while children from poor families can only rely on cheap books to win their future. In modern China, can a family with just enough food and clothing be able to train a national football player? Readers may wish to conduct research.
So, in the past New China, in the football circle of the past New China, not only football was round, but football workers were also round. Therefore, anything may happen, but football Those talented young people who cannot afford to play football may have no choice but to work in other industries.
In a country where even football school workers are round, why should we scold the Football Association? The leaders of the Football Association may not be happy, but the players selected below are already happy!
So, can we scold the coach? A coach is like a chess player. Take chess as an example. A high-level player can give a low-level player a horse or a cannon. But when you don’t have a horse or a cannon, you can only give a group of old and weak players If a sick pawn is given to the player, how can he win against his opponent? You know, none of the coaches who lead teams around the world are freeloaders! The gap between coaches is not that big! Can you expect a coach whose level is slightly higher than the opponent's to lead a group of old, weak, sick, disabled and pregnant women to defeat other people's tigers and wolves? I think that only a magical chess player like Milu can skillfully advance the chess game to the World Cup under the circumstances of the right time, place, people, knowing ourselves, the enemy, and China's national conditions! However, can you expect every coach in the world to be at Milu's level? Can you expect every Chinese chess master in the world to be as outstanding as Hu Ronghua and Xu Yinchuan?
We can’t scold the national football players. No matter whose children enter the national football team, do they not want to play? Don't they want to become Chinese heroes like Liu Xiang and Yao Ming? Don't they want to stand under the five-star red flag and shed tears proudly? Don’t they want to win glory for their parents and get ahead? Don’t they want to be on the Forbes rich list? You know the answer without asking.
It's just that most of them are children from rich families. They are originally "pawns" among Chinese football teenagers, but their slick parents gave them to slick football workers to serve as "carriage, horse and artillery". They are powerless and they fight to the death. It can only be some dead soldiers. If these Chinese men's football players with cash can play football on behalf of China, it will be right if they lose, but it will be weird if they win! If we lose, the responsibility is not on these children!
