Reborn on Top of Football

"The reality of Chinese football is that the head is big and the body is small and the feet are thin. When the wind blows, the whole body is swaying. People worry about whether the head will fall off or break suddenly." Wang Ai made a gesture and said: "It should be said , since the performance of our national team began to rise, this problem appeared. People of insight also discovered it and began 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, there are historical limitations. That is, when we recognized this problem at a certain point in the past and tried to solve it, our vision, our thinking, and our method were already doing our best and perfect. But now there are a number of areas that need to be improved.”

"For example, I used to think that youth competitions were the solution to the problem. I believe there are many others who agreed with me, so we saw all kinds of football activities on campus. I also thought that our infrastructure was not enough. , fans and potential talents have no room for training and display, so there are many free stadiums across the country." Wang Ai did not mean to brag, after a pause, he continued: "Today, these measures each have some effects, or Urgent or slow, but neither is the most fundamental.”

"I had a judgment in the past, and of course I insist today that 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 doing their best. Why did Chinese football once lead Japan and then be replaced by Japan? Beyond? Even now, the level of the j-League is also very high. The reason is that Japan is a developed country, and the time and money that citizens can invest in sports exceeds that of my country not only in absolute numbers, but also in proportion. Think about whether countries with strong football are all This situation?" Wang Ai saw many people nodding: "But now, China is also gradually entering the middle-to-high income level, and some regions have already entered the first step, which determines that some of our regions already have a high level of breeding. The foundation of the league and high-level football. Therefore, the time to solve the most fundamental problem has come, which is the theme of today's meeting, football culture cultivation."

"Culture, as the saying goes, you can't play without money. But football is an exotic sport in the final analysis, and it fits very well with the situation in Europe, mainly northern Europe. For example, the growth period of annual plants in northern Europe is short, and there are also wild There are many low and dense turfs that do not need to be trimmed, which are suitable for playing football, but in China? This is just an example. This shows that the football game can really take root in China, and it is inseparable from the localization of football by the leaders here. "

"Because of the existence of various platforms, there is not much room for changing the rules of football competition. Our citizens can like to explain that the rules are relatively acceptable, and there is no need to change them. The direction we need and can work on is football culture, because we can all pay attention to it. In fact, at the grassroots level of Chinese society, the proportion of people who actually play football is very low. The proportion of people who have football at home, have been to large stadiums, and have collections of jerseys, sneakers, and star cards is also very low. This shows that our Chinese football is not fundamental. Solid, not really integrated into the lives of the majority of the people. The attitude of the most Chinese fans towards football is actually a kind of patriotic enthusiasm on the national team. Football has not become something they cannot do without, it has become a This is a kind of living habit." Wang Ai said a long paragraph and adjusted it for a few seconds: "Without this thing, the foundation of football would not be able to talk about it. Of course, there are many people in our country, even if the proportion is low, a national team can be formed. It’s still easy, but the level, scale, impact, and feedback can’t be talked about.”

"I will read to you a report of my visit to the families of Manchester City fans last year and the investigation report of the football culture system of Manchester City Club, as well as some of my observation records during the period of Deportivo, Inter Milan, Chelsea and Bayern Munich."

Ten minutes later, Wang Ai put down the manuscript paper, unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and took a few sips. People on and off the stage were involuntarily driven to drink water.

"Reading these two reports is to provide you with an idea to analyze how football is integrated with the soil at the most micro level. In fact, any foreign gadgets are also rustic in their own homes." Wang Ai opened a sentence Joke: "But I hope you don't follow some of the paradigms presented in my report. This is just to provide you with a perspective and an idea. It's like saying that British fans like to watch football at home while drinking beer and eating fried fish. And we Chinese fans like to drink and eat grilled skewers. If everyone only learns grilled fish and comes up with something like 'special grilled fish for watching football', 'beer comes standard with watching football', etc., it will be wrong, 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 according to the characteristics of each region. Except for eating, such as fan publications, we do not need to learn Their distribution method, their layout design, etc. What we need to learn is to create a publication that is liked by fans, to publish the internal news of the team and lace news, which has a certain collection value. As for how to do it, Everyone explores from practice.”

At this point, Wang Ai is ready to end his speech: "Football, which has an extremely broad audience base, will definitely have different temperaments due to the different histories, cultures, and customs of different countries. The middle-to-high income level in some parts of our country determines that our nationals have The ability to invest in sports and cultural activities such as football, and at the same time, my country's football career has also progressed to a historical period where it is necessary to strengthen and expand the foundation of football. The combination of the three makes the importance of football cultural work increasingly prominent. With culture, there is football life With football habits, there will be a steady stream of power. Whether this power flows into professional teams, amateur teams or fan teams, it is the development of Chinese football.”

Speaking of this, Wang Ai put down the manuscript and faced the audience: "Chinese football is a part of Chinese sports, and our mission is to strengthen people's self-confidence, and the second is to strengthen people's physical fitness. The former focuses on countries at all levels. The team and the top clubs are responsible, but the latter can just be guided by football culture. And the two have a relationship between the inside and outside of each other. The better the health of the fans and the higher their skills, the better the foundation will be nurtured. The young players of the 2019-2010 will eventually be pushed up to the top league and the national team, let our international footballers..." Wang Ai pursed his lips when he said this: "There is no need to train yourself better, Better serve the country and stay away from home.”

"Local football culture, local football league, this is a healthy and stable path to success that no one can take away."
