Mr. He had a lifelong love of sports, with a particular fondness for soccer and basketball.
After the establishment of new China, Mr. He became the Minister of Sports and brought the strict requirements of the army to the sports field. He adopted a militarized management style and was very strict in his daily management. As a result of this management style, the performance of sports such as table tennis and badminton also improved rapidly.
However, the men's soccer team has not been able to make a breakthrough, which has caused Mr. He to pay more attention to the development of the men's soccer team and put in a lot of effort to make sure that the men's soccer team gets better training and strives to improve their performance.
Under the leadership of Mr. He, the Chinese men's soccer team made significant progress: in 1958, the Chinese men's soccer team drew with the Soviet Union, the Olympic champion, and in 1959, they beat the Hungarian national second team. In 1958, the Chinese men's soccer team drew with the Soviet Union, the Olympic champion, and in 1959 beat the Hungarian second team. The team also won the championship of the "China, Korea, Vietnam and Mongolia" four-country friendly soccer tournament.
As the core players in the team aged, the Chinese men's soccer team continued to go downhill, and in 1964, the Chinese men's soccer team, despite enjoying the advantage of home field, performed very poorly in a match against visiting Pakistan, eventually losing 0-2 to Pakistan.
Mr. He was furious about the game, and the fans couldn't stand the performance of the men's soccer team any longer. In order to find out the reason for the defeat, Mr. He decided to personally inspect the national soccer team. After the inspection, he found that the players lacked fighting spirit, so he decided to disband the national soccer team immediately and then take them all to the army for military training.
After the intense military life, the athletes got great training and education. After the second National Games, they reorganized the Chinese national soccer team with mainly young athletes. In the first Asian Emerging Forces Games at the end of 1966, the Chinese national soccer team achieved an excellent second place. #History#
