Reborn on Top of Football

Regarding the gap between China and the European football level, no one has mentioned it before, but it is rarely calculated with quantitative indicators. And the fans intuitively understand from the occasional Sino-European team game scenes, there are often various illusions: such as "Oh, if the goal came on time, then we won", or "the goal was not received If you pick it up, a single shot will come. "There are many such voices, both the simple views of the fans and the media's incitement. A large group of experts have also contributed to the situation, but in fact, the development of modern football has increasingly changed from relying on human mutation to capital technology. The confrontation between the first team and the national team is only a superficial phenomenon. The football system, football infrastructure and football talent reserve behind them are the real competition.

Count the number of courts, look at the per capita income, listen to the voices of the people, and you will understand everything. Old Hao went deep into A Coruña and inspected the youth of Tubingen. Many things can be felt intuitively. For example, any citizen of La Coruna is familiar with the members of the first team and can accurately tell which country, region, height, weight and nickname he is from. About half of the A Coruna citizens can accurately tell the interests and spouses of the first team players. At the same time, they can also speak clearly to the players of the second team. The citizens of Laco also coincide with a large number of small club fans. They not only know Laco, but also the names of players and stars of some low-level teams in Laco. A Coruña has 240,000 people and has dozens of teams, large and small. Every weekend on the competition day, people wearing various jerseys abound on the street, not even the citizens of Laco.

But in China, how many Chinese people know the names of players and stars in the second league? What about the third league? What about the fourth league? Fifth level ... Oh, China doesn't have a fifth level league!

This is the gap. The soil of Chinese football has been cultivated by the government, driven by the patriotic enthusiasm of the people watching TV, but has not penetrated into the daily lives of the people. How many Chinese adults have played football since leaving school? I'm afraid there isn't one in 100 people.

Therefore, football is a big project in China, but it is also a poor little project. The people are keen to join in the fun, but they are unwilling to participate. This is the "good tradition" of our people: to coax the seedlings, one is better than the other, the sleeves are open, and one is better than the other.

The interview about Europe was brief, and it quickly transitioned to the World Cup qualifying outlook. 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, and the trio of old and young are indeed qualified to talk about this.

Mr. Hao Xian still said, "If I say, I have great hopes and great difficulties. I won a game in Seoul and it's quite a lot, but if Xiao Wang doesn't play so well, the results are not necessarily."

Li Weifeng also nodded: "We can't just look at the statistics, it seems that Xiao Wang missed, the three goals were gone, and then we lost 1: 2, and other people may win, but they may also lose. You actually think about us The national team has known hat-tricks a few times in international competitions. It ’s rare. It ’s never been played in South Korea, and it ’s the only reason why Xiao Wang is so unreasonable. ”

Lao Hao nodded: "Yes, I have played the hat trick, it seems to be three or four times. I ca n’t remember it clearly, but the opponents are weak, either the Philippines or Guam. This is no different from bullying children, so there is no representative. Sex. It ’s not bad that we can win or even beat South Korea. This wo n’t change because we win the Asian Cup. South Korea has already won the championship. ”

Wang Ai grinned and listened to the compliments of the two seniors. He asked the reporter from the Xinhua News Agency Sports Department to ask, "Wang Ai, don't you talk about it?"

"Uh, they all say ... uh" Wang Ai scratched his face: "This time my state is really good, but I just finished the last one without the pre-warming work of defense, passing, pulling and running. , I can't complete the final blow. "

The reporter nodded familiarly. Wang Ai had the same tone in the past many interviews: he never acknowledged that he saved the team by himself. On this issue, no matter how others dig, he did not jump.

If you have already achieved real profits, and you are chasing after your teammates and depriving your teammates of commercial interests, then it is too much. When you get the inside, you should give someone a little bit of face.

"Then if you can still play in the second half, how many do you expect to enter the whole court?"

"It's hard to say. It's hard to say whether my teammates can create opportunities or not if the opponents don't give them a chance. But if I can really play the whole game, it will definitely be how much I can score and I won't be merciful.

"When the opponent gives up resistance, don't you consider collecting it?"

"No!" Wang Ai shook his head: "It is advisable to chase the leftovers to the poor, and not to be known as an overlord."

Xinhua News Agency reporter frowned and retorted: "But international competition is, after all, the exchange of sports between the two countries. Dr. Wang, I believe in your overall view. After the Olympics, you went to" face to face ", we all watched and talked It ’s very good, wide, and deep, so at least you should know that sports events also need to serve national interests and obey diplomacy. You should know the famous ping-pong diplomacy? That ’s a classic. ”

Wang Ai nodded frequently and said after the reporter said: "But there is a goal difference in the football rules. With this goal difference, you can't be merciful at any time, even if your opponent gives up resistance, as long as your strength is in the group If China does not have the absolute advantage, we must make more entries to accumulate weight for the final qualifying. In the 2000 Asian Cup qualifier, we were 19: 0 Guam, this is the case. "

Old Hao, the big heads nodded.

"So, of course, I respect the traditional culture of our country. For example, I have to deal with others and stay with others. I will meet you next time. I also believe that our diplomatic work is very effective under this influence. But Competitive sports, specifically football is not the case. If we Chinese are to formulate modern football rules, it will certainly be in line with our Chinese ethics. For example, the goal difference system will definitely be cancelled, but the red and yellow card system will be the final decision. Players, so that the game is exciting, gorgeous, and warm, but not so cruel and fierce. But this is not the case, the rulers, main implementers and beneficiaries of football are Westerners, this decision This makes it necessary for us athletes to make decisions that are in line with Western values, not Chinese values. "

When the Xinhua News Agency reporter thought deeply, Wang Ai added decisively: "That is, you have to forgive others and not forgive others, and beat down the water dogs. If you do n’t fight, you will lose, if you do n’t fight, others wo n’t show mercy to you. . Modern football under the Western rules is a jungle world. If we are not ruthless and still hold our values, we are Song Xianggong. "
