Football’s First Defender

China's current social development stage actually means that Chinese football can't learn to truly correspond to many successful football powers in the world, and can match its own experience!

At least even in the era before Yang Feng traveled, the basic environment of Chinese football was basically in that kind of situation where neighbors could not rely on each other! More than enough, more than enough!

Whether it is a football powerhouse in Europe or South America, or even the football development model of Asia such as South Korea and Japan, China can learn from it, but if it wants to copy the model and apply it, it is a bit of a toddler, and it may not be perfectly integrated into China's national conditions!

The football power in Western Europe, its strong youth training system, and the full exploration of its own players are based on its high social welfare and high labor costs!

This is the wealth left by the ancestors to future generations, allowing future generations to enjoy at least decades of wealth, decades ahead of the world!

In the high-welfare society of developed countries, high-cost labor costs, in fact, intuitively, no matter what job you do, the natives are destined to earn a very considerable income!

For the education system, most developed countries are more inclined to the so-called elite education, quality education, and noble education! They train the elite!

They can spend a lot of money to screen students when they are young, to train those young people who have shown specialties in a certain aspect, and use the few elites they have cultivated to cooperate with the power of capital to continue to maintain their country's economic development! Guarantee yourself as a developed country!

As for those ordinary people, although they may be eliminated by quality education, relying on high welfare compensation, these people can still enjoy a good quality of life!

For the sport of football, playing football for a long time in the student days will naturally take up the so-called study time, and this kind of strenuous exercise will inevitably consume a lot of energy and make people feel tired after exercise!

Therefore, the time consumed by football for teenagers every day is not only pure exercise time, but also the time loss caused by physical fatigue after exercise, or the reduction in time utilization efficiency!

This means that in China, almost all the people receive the same education, and most people have to rely on the college entrance examination to determine their future. When fate is determined, the schoolwork burden of students is obviously much more than quality education! Chinese teenagers, if they want to use long-term training, will inevitably fall behind in the initial stage of learning, so it is easy to fall behind step by step, step by step!

In fact, the basic education in developed European countries does not take much time in a day, so young people have more time to spend on football training!

This refers to the time for training without delaying cultural education! On this point, China's youth training has always been basically that training time conflicts with academic time and cannot be reconciled.

Academics and sports are generally chosen in China, you can't have both! If there is such a genius who can get both, then he can definitely achieve better development in the academic field. Apart from crazy love, how can he really keep going in the football field!

The high-welfare society in Western Europe also guarantees that even those who have received systematic youth training and a long career in youth training, but eventually fall short and fail to become professional players, as long as they can seriously learn a skill, You can live a happy life! This is very different from that in China!

The level of social development and the possession of per capita wealth determine that at this stage, at least within 20 or 30 years, China must be in a stage of continuous upward development. If it wants to reach the level of development in Europe and achieve high-welfare social security, There is still a long way to go. After all, think about it. For China, the goal of a century of founding is to achieve the economic level of a moderately developed country. Western European countries are not just moderately developed countries. They have a long way to go! This also means that in China, there are huge differences in the returns that can be obtained and the quality of life that can be enjoyed by different types of jobs and jobs with different education backgrounds!

Intellectual talents with higher education, the working environment and the income they can get are obviously far better than the working people at the bottom. This also makes it difficult for young people to study and knowledge in a short period of time without large-scale welfare subsidies. Future developments have a huge impact!

Then this conversion problem is very simple. In the Chinese football environment where only a few hundred people can play, the parents of ordinary families, who would dare to let their children take the road of football! If you succeed, everything is easy to say, but if you don't succeed, you may never have a bright future!

Some people say that academically, the college entrance examination is a single-plank bridge for thousands of troops to cross! But this sentence in the field of football, the single-plank bridge may become a steel wire! For professional football, wanting to become the professional football player who stands out is no less than a group of people scrambling to walk a tightrope! There is an abyss under your feet, not only must you have courage, but you must also be able to squeeze through others!

At least under the current education system, for any student who wants to change their own destiny and the destiny of their family, studying hard is definitely more rewarding than playing football seriously, and the chance of success is higher. It's also easier!

In addition to the time advantage for teenagers to study, Western European football powers also have a well-developed league system, not only professional leagues, but also a wealth of semi-professional and semi-amateur leagues, so that players registered with the Football Association can have balls and games. Up to hundreds of teams, even more, so that as long as you want to play, you can play!

The low-level leagues in developed countries in Europe, especially the semi-amateur and semi-professional competitions, also allow many outstanding players who are living in the private sector, or youth training players who have been misled by youth training coaches, to have a lot of competition opportunities to prove themselves Strength!

Just like Vardy or Klose, who are familiar to Chinese fans, they all grew up to be excellent strikers in the low-level leagues of their countries, in semi-professional and semi-amateur games, and even in semi-amateur and semi-professional games. During the competition, I also worked part-time jobs for a period of time to ensure my income!

Such behavior is hard to imagine in China. Most ordinary people may be bound by the pressure of life. They need to support their families and run around constantly. What about the game?

And what is even more chilling is that there is such a semi-professional and semi-amateur game in Chinese football?

A professional is a professional, and an amateur is an amateur. In domestic competitions, there is a natural gap between professional and amateur. For non-governmental grassroots players, the path to advancement is extremely narrow! Without great perseverance and great opportunity, it would be hard to reach the sky with a carp jumping over the dragon's gate!

However, a large number of young players in China can only train in the team day after day, or play very few confrontation games with other teams. These players do not have the strength to be transferred to the first team, so they can only firmly occupy the ball. The place in the team echelon, but unable to touch the real adult competition, to hone the rhythm and feeling of playing at a higher level!

In England, where the semi-professional and semi-amateur leagues are the most abundant, in the fourth to seventh tier leagues, almost half and half of amateur and professional players are maintained!

Of course, most of these professional players in the low-level leagues are the youth players of the English Championship and Premier League teams!

Although most of these people are not the top talents of their own youth training teams, in their respective youth training systems, they are very similar to marginal youth training players in China.

But these domestic players may only be able to waste time in the team's youth training system, training day after day, and then leave when they reach the age limit! Maybe they have never played a real adult game in the end!

But in England, it is these young players who may not be able to compete for the team's adult team in the eyes of the youth training coaches. I have been in the low-level leagues all my life, but there must be many inspirational stories, which happened to some diligent and hard-working players who are late bloomers!

In the high-level Premier League, every season there are always a few players full of inspirational stories who have worked hard from the low-level leagues. More in the game!

Football is a sport, because of the personal style of the players and the tactics of the team, sometimes it really feels like a tree is moving the dead and the living! Being in an environment all the time and receiving unchanging training may really delay the development of many young players!

The advanced nature and professionalism of the European League are due to the strong economic strength of the country and the high level of per capita income. On this point, China, as a developing country, blindly copying and copying may not conform to the domestic reality!

At least in China, in semi-amateur competitions, you let a mason, baker, cook and many other people who have no concept of weekend rest to play a game every weekend and go away. This is simply unrealistic! One or two games might be okay, but Zhou Zhou came like this, so to use the old saying, these people are just too heartless!

On the other hand, the player training system of some South American football powers may also be unacceptable in China and unable to adapt to the Chinese environment!

The training of players in South America is very similar to the inspirational stories of the black districts in the United States!

If we say that the player training system in developed countries in Western Europe is similar to that of American whites, because of high welfare and high-quality education, young people have enough time to develop sports!

Then the growth experience of South American players is consistent with the goal of players who came out of the black slums in the United States, that is, to change the destiny of their own lives!

We don’t know for these young players, not only football, but for every sport, whether it is the love for this sport, or the simple idea of ​​changing their destiny, which makes them have to work hard to climb up. ! To become the brightest star, so that you can be discovered, so that you can leave your life in dire straits and enjoy a better future!

This kind of training mode is like raising Gu. Behind those famous players and players who have played well, there are many bones of the same background and hard work as them, but they have fallen halfway!

Their success is based on the failure of countless people and the possible wasted life!

This is the most typical law of the jungle, where the winner takes all and the loser has no place to turn!

For the poor and ordinary people in the country, the narrow path of advancement makes most teenagers can only hope for this kind of pure competition of physical fitness and talent sports to get the chance to change their destiny!

If you succeed, you will walk out of the slums; if you fail, you may spend your whole life wandering at the bottom of society!

This cruel training method has indeed created many South American players that we are familiar with, and there are countless South American players working hard in European leagues at all levels!

But in China, this kind of training method may not exist at all!

We cannot copy the training model of Western Europe because it has too high requirements on the social stage. We do not have that social environment and cannot reach that level! However, the training model in South America, as a thriving big country, at least there is the college entrance examination in China, which is the fairest and most suitable way for ordinary people to rise to the top, so that no one will abandon the basics and go to football. In addition to becoming famous, failure is doomed to obscurity. the way!

Of course, some training methods may not be worth learning from, but some league measures, such as, are actually worth learning from!

Just like Brazil, it is also a country with a large population and a large land area. Unlike many European countries because of their small land area, they can carry out large-scale national competitions at various levels. Brazil focuses on the so-called intra-state leagues!

The popularity of the state league is extremely high, and even for some teams, the national league is not as important as the state league. Some professional Brazilian domestic sports magazine media will simply publish different versions of magazines to deal with different events in different states and sell them in different regions!

This kind of football league, which is equivalent to a provincial football league in China, is extremely low for the team's operating expenses. They don't need to spend a lot of money on away transportation and accommodation, and the money saved can be used for more other things. Work!

The most embarrassing thing about China's domestic competitions may be that there are too few competitions in the province, and there are very few systematic competitions. More may be self-entertainment of some amateur players!

And professional-level competitions are all run across the country, which is really different! Fly from the northernmost part of China to the southernmost part, from the most eastern part to the most western part!

So it's just a joke for Chinese professional teams to operate on a small budget. Don't spend too much money every season!

Moreover, the climate difference between the north and the south is too great, and it will also have a bad impact on the performance of the players!

As far as the development path of China's youth training is concerned, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to take the road of youth training with Chinese characteristics, which needs to integrate the strengths of hundreds of schools and combine the advantages of youth training in various countries! Take its essence and discard its dross!

But it is too difficult to do so!

Reform may require great courage and perseverance. This is the only way for Chinese football to flourish!
