Regarding the issue of the gap in the level of football between China and Europe, no one has mentioned it before, but it is rarely calculated with quantitative indicators. Fans often have various misconceptions when they intuitively understand from the occasional matches between China and Europe: such as "Oh!
, If the ball had been scored on time, then we would have won", or "The ball had not been caught, but if it had been caught, it would have been a one-shot." There are many such voices, including the simple views of fans and others.
The media fanned the flames and a large group of experts also followed suit, but in fact, with the development of modern football, it has increasingly shifted from relying on human body variation to relying on capital and technology. The confrontation between the first team, that is, the national team, is only a superficial phenomenon.
The real competition is the football system, football infrastructure and football talent reserve that each relies on.
Count the number of stadiums, look at the per capita income, and listen to the voices of the people, and you will understand everything. Hao went deep into Deportivo La Coruna and inspected the youth of Tübingen, and many things can be felt intuitively.
For example, any Deportivo citizen is familiar with the first-team members and can accurately tell the country, region, height, weight, and nickname he is from. About half of Deportivo citizens can accurately name the first-team players.
At the same time, they can tell the players of Depor’s second team clearly about their hobbies and spouses. The citizens of Depor also overlap with a large number of fans of small clubs. They not only know about Depor, but also know about Depor.
Players and star names of some low-level teams in the city. There are 240,000 people in Deportivo La Coruna, with dozens of teams of various sizes. Every weekend on match days, people wearing various jerseys are seen on the streets.
They are everywhere, and even the citizens of Laco cannot recognize them all.
But in China, how many Chinese people know the players and star names of the second-level league? What about the third-level league? What about the fourth-level league? The fifth-level league... Oh, there is no fifth-level league in China!
This is the gap. The soil of Chinese football has always been cultivated by the government and driven by the patriotic enthusiasm of the people watching TV, but it has not penetrated into the daily lives of the people. Since Chinese adults left school, several football players
Attending a football match? Probably not one out of a hundred people.
Therefore, football is a big project in China, but it is also a pitiful small project. The common people are keen to join in the fun, but are unwilling to participate. This is the "fine tradition" of our people: making noises and raising rice seedlings, each one is more capable than the other, rolling up his sleeves and getting started
, one is more cowardly than the other.
The European part of this interview was very brief, and soon transitioned to the prospects for qualifying for the World Cup. Lao Hao is the image representative of the Chinese team, Li Weifeng is the backbone of the strength, Wang Ai is the leader of the largest faction, the trio of old, middle and young people
I am indeed qualified to talk about this aspect.
It was Old Hao who said first: "If you ask me, the hope is great, but the difficulties are also great. Winning one game in Seoul is quite a lot, but if Xiao Wang didn't perform so well, the result is not certain."
Li Weifeng also nodded: "We can't just look at the data. It seems that Xiao Wang didn't play, three goals were gone, and then we lost 1:2. Others may win, but they may also lose. Actually, think about us
You know how many times the national team has scored a hat trick in international competitions. It's very rare. It's never happened before against South Korea. Only someone as unreasonable as Xiao Wang can do this."
Old Hao nodded: "Yes, I have also scored a hat-trick, maybe three or four times. I can't remember clearly, but the opponents are relatively weak, either the Philippines or Guam. This is no different from bullying a child, so there is no representation."
Sex. If we can win or draw against South Korea, it will be good. This will not change just because we win the Asian Cup. South Korea has already won the championship."
Wang Ai grinned as he listened to the praise from the two seniors, and suddenly asked a reporter from the Xinhua News Agency's Sports Department to ask: "Wang Ai, don't you tell me your opinion?"
"Uh, what they said is quite... uh" Wang Ai scratched his face: "My condition is indeed good this time, but I just completed the last move, without the previous warm-up work of defense, passing, pulling, and running.
, I can’t complete the final blow either.”
The reporter nodded knowingly. In many interviews in the past, Wang Ai has always had the same tone: He will never admit that he alone saved the team. On this issue, no matter how others dig holes, he will not jump.
It is too much to go after your teammates and deprive them of their commercial interests after you have already obtained real profits. After you have gained some honor, you should save some face for others.
"So if you can still play in the second half, how many goals do you expect to score in the whole game?"
"It's hard to say whether the opponent will give me a chance or whether my teammates will create opportunities. But if I can really play the whole game, I will definitely score as many goals as I can and I won't be merciful."
"When your opponent gives up resistance, why don't you consider closing in?"
"No!" Wang Ai shook his head: "It is better to use your remaining courage to chase the poor bandits, and not to use your reputation as an academic overlord."
The reporter from Xinhua News Agency frowned and retorted: "But international competitions are, after all, exchanges between the sports circles of the two countries. Dr. Wang, I believe in your overall view. After the Olympics, you appeared on "Face to Face", and we all watched it and talked about it.
It is very good, very broad and very deep, so at least you should be able to know that sports events also need to serve national interests and obey diplomatic work. You should know the famous Ping Pong diplomacy, right? That is a typical example."
Wang Ai nodded frequently and waited for the reporter to finish speaking before saying: "But there is a goal difference in the football rules. With this goal difference, you can never be merciful at any time, even if your opponent gives up resistance, as long as your strength is in the group
If you don't have an absolute advantage, you must score more points to accumulate weight for the final qualifying. This was the case in the 2000 Asian Cup qualifiers when we went 19:0 against Guam."
Old Hao nodded his head one after another.
"So, of course I respect our country's traditional culture, such as treating others with mercy and being merciful, keeping a line in life so that we can meet each other easily next time, etc. I also believe that our diplomatic work is very effective under the influence of this aspect. But
Competitive sports, specifically football, are not like this. If we Chinese were to formulate modern football rules, it would definitely be in line with our Chinese moral values. For example, the goal difference system would definitely be abolished, and instead the red and yellow card system would be used to decide the final result.
Qualifiers, thus making the game exciting, gorgeous, and full of warmth, rather than so cruel and fierce. But the current situation is not like this. The makers, main enforcers, and beneficiaries of football rules are all Westerners. This decision
It means that we athletes must make decisions that are in line with Western values, not Chinese values."
When the Xinhua News Agency reporter was thinking deeply, Wang Ai added decisively: "That is, if you have to spare others, you should not spare others, and beat the drowned dog. If you don't fight, you will suffer. If you don't fight, others will not show mercy to you."
.Modern football under Western rules is a jungle world. If we are not ruthless and still hold on to our values and do not let go, we will be Song Xianggong."
