"The reality of Chinese football is that the head is big, the body is small, and the feet are thin. When the wind blows, the whole body is swaying, making people worry whether the head will fall off or break suddenly." Wang Ai made a gesture and said: "It should be
It is said that this problem has arisen since the performance of our national team began to rise. People with insight have also discovered it and started to solve it very early. But it must be admitted that as a group of people at the top of Chinese football, our understanding
, in fact, it also has historical limitations. At a certain point in time in the past, when we recognized this problem and tried our best to solve it, our vision, our ideas, and our methods were already perfect at that time.
, but now there are several areas that need improvement.”
"For example, I once thought that youth competitions were the solution to the problem. I believe there are many people who agree with me, so we saw various football activities on campus. I also thought that our infrastructure was not enough.
, there was no room for fans and potential talents to train and display, so many free stadiums appeared across the country." Wang Ai did not mean to boast, and after a pause he continued: "Looking at it today, each of these measures has some effect, or
Urgent or slow, but it is not the most fundamental thing."
"I made a judgment before, and of course I insist on it today, that is, the level of national economic development determines the level and height of football, the world's largest sport, and the sport that opponents are also trying their best to engage in. Why did Chinese football once lead Japan and then be beaten by Japan?
Surpass? Even now, the level of the J-League is very high. The reason is that Japan is a developed country and its citizens can invest time and money in sports. Not only in absolute numbers, but also in proportion, it exceeds our country. Think about it, do all countries with strong football
This situation?" Wang Ai saw many people nodding: "But now, China is gradually entering the middle-to-high income level, and some areas have already taken the lead. This determines that some of our areas already have high-level education capabilities.
The league is the foundation of high-level football. Therefore, the time has come to solve the most fundamental problem, which is the theme of today’s meeting, the cultivation of football culture.”
"Culture, as the saying goes, cannot be played without money. But football is ultimately a foreign sport, which is very consistent with the situation in Europe, mainly Northern Europe. For example, the annual growth period of plants in Northern Europe is shorter, and there are also plants in the wild.
There are many low and dense turfs that do not need to be repaired and are suitable for playing football. But in China? This is just one example. This shows that for football as a sport to truly take root in China, it is inseparable from the localization of football by the leaders here.
"
"Due to the existence of various platforms, there is little room for changes in the rules of football competition. Our citizens can like to show that they are relatively accepting of the rules and there is no need to change them. What is needed and the direction we can work hard is football culture, because we can all pay attention to it.
In fact, at the grassroots level of Chinese society, the proportion of those who actually play football is very low. The proportion of those who have football at home, those who have been to large stadiums, and those who have jerseys, sneakers, and star cards in their collections are also very low. This shows that our Chinese football movement is not fundamentally sound.
It is solid and has not been truly integrated into the lives of the people. The attitude of most Chinese fans towards football is actually to place a kind of patriotic enthusiasm on the national team. Football has not become something they can't live without. It has become a thing.
"It's a living habit." Wang Ai said a long paragraph and adjusted it for a few seconds: "Without this thing, the foundation of football would be impossible. Of course, our country has a lot of people, even if the ratio is low, we can form a national team.
It’s still easy, but the level, scale, impact, and feedback are all out of the question.”
"Now I will read to you a report on my visits to the homes of Manchester City fans last year and an investigation report on the football culture system of Manchester City Club, as well as some of my observation records during the years of Deportivo La Coruna, Inter Milan, Chelsea, and Bayern Munich."
Ten minutes later, Wang Ai put down the manuscript, opened a bottle of mineral water and took a few sips. People on stage and off stage were also led to drink water involuntarily.
"Reading these two reports is to provide everyone with an idea to analyze how the sport of football is integrated with the soil from the most micro level. In fact, any foreign gadget is rustic in their own homes." Wang Ai started.
Joke: "But I hope that everyone will not follow some of the paradigms presented in my report. This is just to provide you with a perspective and an idea. Just like British fans like to watch football at home while drinking beer and eating fried fish.
And we Chinese fans like to drink and eat skewers at the same time. If everyone only learns how to grill fish and come up with "grilled fish exclusively for watching football" or "standard beer for watching football", then we have learned wrongly. Chinese fans
If you don't like to eat, this reform will not be implemented. I hope everyone can learn the commonality of 'eating', and then fill it with appropriate food based on the characteristics of each place. In addition to eating, there is no need for us to learn, such as fan publications and so on.
Their distribution method, their layout design, etc., what we need to learn is to create a publication that is loved by fans, a publication that publishes internal team news and gossip, and has a certain collection value. As for what to do specifically,
Everyone will explore individually through practice."
At this point in his speech, Wang Ai was ready to finish: "Football, which has a very broad audience base, will definitely have different temperaments due to the different histories, cultures, and customs of each country. The middle-to-high income levels in some areas of our country have determined that our citizens have
The ability to invest in sports and cultural activities such as football. At the same time, our country's football industry has also progressed to a historical period when it must be strengthened and expanded the foundation of football. The combination of the three, the importance of football cultural work has become increasingly prominent. With culture, there is football life.
, with the habit of football, there will be a steady stream of power. Whether this power flows into professional teams, amateur teams or fan teams, it will be the development of Chinese football."
At this point, Wang Ai put down the manuscript and faced the audience: "Chinese football is a part of Chinese sports. The mission we undertake is to strengthen the people's self-confidence and strengthen the people's physical fitness. The former focuses on all levels of the country.
The team and the head clubs are responsible for it, but the latter can be guided by football culture. And the two are mutually related. If the fans are in better health and have better skills, they will create a better foundation.
The young players will eventually be pushed up one level to the top league, and then to the national team, so that our national footballers..." Wang Ai pursed his lips when he said this: "There is no need to train yourself better,
It’s better to serve our country thousands of miles away from home.”
"Local football culture and local football leagues are a healthy and stable path to success that no one can take away."
