"Sounds a little sad?" Ma Fanshu made a somewhat literary comment.
"You will gradually become separated from your original companions, but at the same time you will also make new friends and discover new companions, just like my experience when I joined the National Youth League." Wang Ai was very indifferent.
At the prompts of his assistant, Ma Fanshu realized that the interview was about to end, so he took a deep breath, lowered his voice a little, and said with a fuller mood: "So, as a person in charge of Chinese football, Chinese track and field, Chinese football management, etc.
Can someone who is at the forefront of this field give us some insight into the future? You mentioned the words trend and future several times today, have you seen a glimpse of the future?"
Wang Ai smiled and thought for a while: "This problem is a bit big, can it be detailed?"
"Football? National team?"
"As the world's largest sport that originated in Europe and invested countless resources, it has a strong European background. Although South American football is relatively strong, South America was once a European colony. Messi, for example, is
Italian origin. So essentially, contemporary football is a product of European culture, and there is a certain cultural conflict with us in Asia and Africa."
Ma Fanshu thought for a moment and then said carefully: "Is this the reason why the level of Chinese football or football in non-European areas is not high?"
"Yes." Wang Ai nodded calmly: "For example, between Real Madrid and Barcelona, every time they go to El Clasico, the fans in the stands will insult each other, various geographical attacks are flying all over the place, and there are even fights outside the stadium. Their society has a certain degree of
Can the upper level tolerate this phenomenon, can we? So when we operate according to this set of football rules, we can only stay at the upper level. Once we reach the grassroots level, it will have a fierce conflict with our social culture and our values. The result
I just can’t take root.”
Under Ma Fanshu's gaze, Wang Ai further explained: "China and Europe are about the same size, but China has a central government, while Europe does not. Therefore, the same football match is affected by conflicts between countries in Europe, but it is a domestic conflict in China.
, the intensity of the two is different. This reality in Europe constructs the bottom layer and the entire set of rules of modern football, which is logically self-consistent. However, after moving outside China and Europe, due to the different rules at the bottom of society, the superstructure of football
The operating rules of the Chinese team conflict with social reality, that is, the economic foundation. So you see, strong teams outside Europe are often more European-oriented. For example, our Chinese team's world championship team is almost entirely composed of overseas players. Comparison of Asian football
Strong Japan has been advocating leaving Asia and joining Europe, and using European culture to transform itself. But even so, Japanese football has its own distinctive characteristics, such as focusing on technical confrontation and not focusing on physical confrontation."
"So the question you asked just now, I think the future of football and the future of the Chinese national team are connected. Our group of people have achieved breakthroughs in performance, but we have not truly taken root in China. The problem is still
The problem is that results are the product of football rules, and football rules are the product of social rules. We can only amplify its influence and let more people play and watch it, but the contradiction is still there, and we don’t have the time and energy to explore it now.
.So in the future, the Chinese team will either remain as big as it is now with a small body and a weak foundation, or through our exploration, mainly the exploration of grassroots workers, it will find a path, method, system, and structure for the Chineseization of football.
Only by establishing a set of operating rules and business rules that are in line with Chinese social values can our national team have a real domestic foundation, instead of all going to Europe to study. And once we complete the Chinese transformation of football, relying on our sports
It is bound to have an impact on modern football rules, or to transform some of the rules to make them more universal, rather than more suitable for Europeans and European culture, and truly become a world culture, or enrich the cultural diversity of football itself.

When Ma Fanshu saw Wang Ai pick up the cup and drink water, he realized that Wang Ai had finished speaking, and couldn't help but laugh at himself: "Maybe I'm not used to treating you as a sports scholar, so I'm not prepared enough."
Wang Ai put down his cup and smiled: "It would be the same for anyone else. This is my first opinion. Anyone who listens must accept it."
"Thank you for your comfort, brother." Ma Fanshu quickly returned to his state: "So what about the future of sports? What will it become?"
Wang Ai looked up at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window, and exclaimed: "Let's talk about Chinese sports first?"
Ma Fanshu nodded.
"The two functions of our Chinese sports are to remove the hat of the sick man of East Asia, which in today's terms is to enhance national self-confidence; to improve people's physical fitness, in today's terms is to improve the quality of life. These two major functions have changed with the development of the times.
The function is still a function, but the proportion is different. To put it simply, the national team and the national teams of various projects mainly complete the tasks of the former, while the private departments of various project management centers are mainly aimed at the latter, although they themselves are also organic
For example, if the national team performs well, the masses have high enthusiasm for spontaneous participation, which improves physical fitness to a certain extent, but generally speaking, the boundaries between the two functions are clear."
Ma Fanshu nodded and said "I understand" to signal Wang Ai to continue.
"When New China was founded, our country's foundation was relatively weak and the people were relatively poor. However, the development of the country and the development of the economy cannot be skipped. You must do it step by step. First, there is heavy industry to produce machinery and equipment. After acquiring machinery and equipment,
Only in this way can we produce civilian products on a large scale. We must first solve the problem of being full, and then we can solve the problem of eating well. Otherwise, we will want to eat well before we are full. When people are hungry, do they want to be full or to eat well?
Therefore, based on the development foundation we had at that time, it would take a long time for us to reach the level of development and living standards of Europe, the United States and the Soviet Union, half a century or even longer. Think about it, for those people who were in their prime and full of enthusiasm at that time
For young people, half a century is so long and cruel, but this is the reality."
Wang Ai's words not only attracted Ma Fanshu's attention, but also made her assistants listen carefully.
"With such a big gap and such a long way to catch up, how can we make people believe that we have hope and maintain our fighting spirit? Be more world-class and be first in the world. Sports is a relatively easy field, and the investment is not high.
We have such a large population. That’s why our first world champion Rong Guotuan and our first Olympic champion Xu Haifeng have such high social status, because they truly and directly proved that the Chinese people
!Can a China composed of Chinese people work? Yes!"
"Sounds a little sad?" Ma Fanshu made a somewhat literary comment.
"You will gradually become separated from your original companions, but at the same time you will also make new friends and discover new companions, just like my experience when I joined the National Youth League." Wang Ai was very indifferent.
