Chapter 331 Face to face: Dr. Wang's football reflections (8)
"So, what do you think of the 'Football in Schools' campaign promoted by the Football Association? And what about the youth football movement that many of our retired stars call for and engage in? I remember that coach Xu Genbao, who has a good relationship with you, runs a football school in Shanghai.
?”
"The trend of history is unavoidable. In the overall development stage of Chinese society, no matter what we do or how we do it, it is essentially a kind of delay and struggle. I admit that these measures are valuable and progressive, and they can
To help Chinese football survive this period of strategic contraction and retain the seeds of revival, we can extend the development history of our football movement, actively sum up experiences and lessons, and enable better development in the future. However, no matter what we do, the strategic contraction of Chinese football
The situation will not fundamentally change. For example, we cannot force or coax children not to go to school to play football. Not to mention that we cannot cheat, even if we can, we cannot cheat. In essence, the Football Association and we athletes are all ordinary
Chinese institutions and Chinese people must have an overall view and know what the current country and people really need. We can work hard to develop football, but we must and can only change the model. For example, in the future, we must select those who are truly talented.
The young people who come out should focus on training. They should be like Yao Ming. He was originally very good at studies, but he grew to two meters tall at the age of 14. Everyone can see that he has basketball talent. In the future, the selection of Chinese football players will also be inevitable.
We need to change from a broad-based audition model to a focused individual model.”
"Is that the same purpose for your free court?"
"You know all this?" Wang Ai asked funnyly.
Wang Zhigao said inscrutably: "You are invited to come. Of course we have to make preparations. I heard that you have set up more than ten free stadiums in Liaoyang, Shenyang and Anshan, and no one collects tickets. Who will come?
Can all play? And you have also invested in more stadiums in Sichuan and Ma Mingyu?"
"This free golf course, to put it in a nutshell, is just digging a few fish ponds and hooking up the fish fry. I hope they can grow up."
"Dig ponds and raise fish?" Wang Zhi said with a smile: "Your description is quite vivid."
“What Captain Ma and I think is not complicated, that is, right now, the government’s main energy is on developing the economy, and there is no more energy and resources to invest in this aspect, so as for us personally, if we have the ability, we can promote it.
. We believe that some talented children did not have this suitable environment in the past, which may have suppressed their talents. We provide such a place. As long as they like it, they can practice. If there are more people going, after all,
If someone can practice it, then the scope of selection for Chinese football will be expanded, right?"
"Are you an idealist?"
Wang Ai was stunned and said slowly: "Everyone is an idealist, but sometimes reality forces us to give up our ideals. But what if reality does not force us? Then we can pursue our ideals. Thank you country, thank you
Fans have given me, Wang Ai, the foundation to pursue my ideals freely. Now I am not short of food, clothing, housing, and supplies. I am very satisfied with my life. Of course, I hope that the sport I am engaged in
It can develop better and better. Just kidding, if Chinese football dies one day in the future, who will still remember me?"
Wang Zhi looked at Wang Ai, who was less than 17 years old, and laughed.
"Of course, this is purely a joke. We have a football association, many retired athletes, coaches and more fans who love football. Maybe the pressure of life and work means they don't have much time to play football, but at least they
There is still hope for us, and they are still willing to support us, then our sport will eventually become truly strong and strong."
"What day?" Wang Zhi asked.
"It depends on how many families there are in a well-off society. If a well-off society is fully realized, the selection and foundation of Chinese football will return to the level of the 1980s. If Chinese society enters the ranks of developed countries, then our football
The talent pool will return to the era of sports schools and will be huge to an enviable and crazy level. The economic base determines the superstructure. Football belongs to the field of culture and sports. Strictly speaking, it is part of spiritual and cultural life. It will also be affected by the economic level and
Decision. Although the rules of modern football are more conducive to small countries and small people in Western societies, we can still play well in the future. Especially when our Chinese football becomes more and more important in the world football map,
We will also become one of the makers of football rules, not just those who obey them now."
"So, since according to you, the general trend of Chinese football is downward, how can we pursue the current results to satisfy the fans and society? Can we do it?"
Wang Ai took a deep breath: "Yes. Although the situation is difficult, there is still a lot to be done. After all, we have more people, and the chance of geniuses is much higher. Although we can't rush a large number of children to the football field for training and selection now.
, but as long as Yao Ming or I are in the same situation, there will still be coaches coming to help, and our current football players must train harder, move to a higher stage, and promote better results in Chinese football.
In this way, the fans will always be satisfied with us, and the football sport, even if its foundation is weakened, can still maintain strong vitality. And when the opportunities mature in the future, it will have better development."
"Your time span is probably more than ten years later? In other words, you were born at the wrong time? After all, it is not in the past and future with the strongest foundation as you said. So, Dr. Wang, what do you think about your career?
What are you looking forward to? We all know that you won the Champions League Silver Boot, won the Asian Footballer of the Year, and this Olympic record, etc. With your personal brilliance and the overall improvement of the national record, what is your next step?
What is the pursuit of football? In other words, where do you think the upper limit of the national brand you lead is?"
"Personally, I hope to win the title of World Footballer one day to continue to inspire our country's local players to go out and have a broader mind and bolder ambitions. From the national team, I hope
One day we can continue to break through our World Cup results. I hope we can qualify from the group at the next World Cup in Germany, and I hope we can enter the top 8 at the next World Cup in South Africa."
"Can?"
Wang Ai put away his smile and nodded solemnly: "I personally have a lot of confidence. The national team has great hopes. As long as my current group of outstanding teammates can maintain high-level training and competition, these underage teammates of mine will
Can grow up smoothly. Even if there are fewer children playing football, there is still a lot to be done with these talented people!"
