Wang Ai chuckled and said: "I understand everyone's urgent mood. In peacetime, football, the first sport, has entrusted many people's wishes to strengthen the motherland. I am also willing to explain the issue of football in more detail to you. I believe that you can accept it." Chinese fans who have a more scientific and conscientious education can understand what I say. A simple metaphor is that if all our 1.3 billion people go to play football, then our Chinese football will not be able to enter the World Cup finals. That is really because we are incompetent. The problem is that most of our 1.3 billion people cheer for us. After watching the game, they should go to work and go to school. How many of them actually go to play football? In other words, the talent selection aspect of our Chinese football is not 1.3 billion people, but a very small part."
"How small is it?" Wang Ai smiled and said: "You will know with a little calculation. We now have a three-tier league system, sixty or seventy clubs, first team, second team, youth team, and more than a hundred people. There are almost 50 or 60 people, and if you take the middle number of 70, there are less than 5,000 professional players in the country. Our national team will be selected from these 5,000 people. If the scope is expanded, including those who are preparing to enter the professional league. For the teams in the amateur league, some of the players were trained by the club’s youth team but did not make it to the first team, and they were trained in football schools but had no chance to play in the professional league. How many players are there? It’s less than 5,000.”
"Less than 10,000 people? This doesn't sound like an exaggeration, but what about the school?"
"In terms of schools and factories, suppose every high school and university has a football team, and every large state-owned enterprise has a football team. That's good. There are more than 30,000 high schools, less than a thousand universities, and more than a thousand large state-owned enterprises in the country. Even if Each country has a football team with only 20 or 30 people. How much does it add up to? Less than 10 million people. Note that these 10 million people play football occasionally and for fun. They mainly spend their time studying and working. , people who basically stop playing football after leaving school. Most of them will become more professional fans in the future, but they can't compare with us professional players who train all day long."
"Hey, Xiao Wang, I'm curious about something." Bai Yansong suddenly interjected: "My colleagues and I usually play football, and there are many retired stars who play with us. They are very good and good, but I feel... Not too different.”
Wang Ai looked at Bai Yansong and laughed. Bai Yansong's laughter made Bai Yansong restless: "Hey, Xiao Wang, just tell the truth. It's okay. I'm such an adult, so I won't be able to bear it."
"I have a friend who likes boxing. He always tells me that Tyson is just like that. You see, he gets tired after a few punches and hugs him. I usually punch two to three hundred punches at a time at home. ." Wang Ai smiled and said: "Maybe many fans will also have this view. Look at the technical moves that Wang Ai can do, I can also do it. What kind of pendulum style pass, ox tail pass, I Marseille The slalom is better than Zidane's!"
Bai Yansong nodded frequently.
Wang Ai laughed for a while and then said: "Do you know what we professional players will say at this time? We will say, you are indeed very good, your skills are really beautiful, not much worse than us. Right, you are too Have you heard of it?”
"But, we are actually embarrassed to say something to discourage everyone's enthusiasm. After all, we all hope that more people will play football, right? What if we scare them away? But you have to let me tell the truth...
…”
Bai Yansong pretended to wipe away the cold sweat: "Dr. Wang, please tell me, I am ready to hear the cruel truth."
Wang Ai smiled and thought about the wording again before saying: "Internationally, professional players generally train for more than four hours a day. I mean heavy exercise. For example, our Chinese players, at least for the national team, train for more than eight hours. Don't you think?
Do you think we are just playing around in the training ground all day long? So there are some gaps that you cannot see with your eyes. Just like a boxing champion, why do you get tired so quickly? Just like us professional players, why do we have wonderful moves?
So little? Because most of our physical energy is consumed in confrontation, physical confrontation, technical confrontation, such as collision, such as dribbling and stealing confrontation. The same goes for the boxing champion. Every time he is beaten, he consumes physical energy and needs to stretch.
Only by having tight muscles can you withstand your opponent's punches."
"I had a friend who played ball with me when I was young." Wang Ai thought of Li Jun: "Last summer at the party, he wanted to compete with me. To be honest, his movements were very beautiful and standard, but what was the result? He swore
He never plays with me again, and he keeps scolding me for cheating and being shameless. Why? Because every time he does a beautiful move, I don’t use complicated moves to intercept him. I just need to lean in and he
It flew away. Everyone, please note that I am recognized as a defensive failure, but even in front of me, no matter how beautiful his skills are, he cannot use them. On the court, your position is not stable and you cannot hold it.
The ball, any technique is useless."
"You mean Gao Feng and the others didn't play with us at all, right?"
Wang Ai laughed heartily: "You don't play football for the sake of winning or losing, so why should you take it so seriously? Just be happy."
"Okay Dr. Wang, I may need to go home to calm my wounded mind. But the audience in front of the TV should have understood the current situation of Chinese football by now. The selection is narrow. Everyone is busy working and has no time to play football.
So the good performance of the national team does not mean that Chinese football is strong. So everyone has to be patient and don’t have too high expectations, right? Okay, then, let’s use the last moment to pay attention to some of the things that everyone is talking about about this World Cup.
Topic?"
"Okay, Uncle Bai, tell me."
"Some people say that if Zheng Zhi hadn't made that push, we might have reached the semi-finals. It was precisely because of his impulsiveness that we stopped at the top eight and lost the best historical opportunity. What do you think? There are others
It is said that someone suppressed Luo Tongliang's long-range shooting talent."
Wang Ai nodded: "Then, let me remind everyone that Zheng Zhi's move to push Xiao Luo was actually only worth half a yellow card. At that time, we had reached the limit. Even if Zheng Zhi didn't have a problem here, there would be problems in other positions.
Question. Objectively speaking, our strength is the top 16 in the World Cup. We were lucky to meet Ecuador, and Ecuador did not play well in that game. That’s all. So I don’t want people to criticize Zheng Zhi for whether he can be judged or not.
In terms of action, what we want is to be truly strong instead of relying on luck. What we want is: strength that can tolerate mistakes, rather than being weak without mistakes. As for Luo Tongliang, it is not who suppresses him, but the defense is too tight and he has no chance to rush.
He came out and took a long shot. If there was anyone who suppressed him, it was me, because he said he believed in my role in the front, so he had to defend with all his strength."
