The Chinese women's soccer team training in Spain lost 1-4 to the Swedish women's soccer team, and many fans once again realized the gap. In fact, winning the Asian Cup last year made many fans excited, but before winning the Asian Cup, the Chinese women's soccer team's fiasco at the Olympics will never be forgotten. Now the Chinese women's soccer team is not bad in Asia, but the gap with Europe and the United States is widening. So why?
Many people are laughing at the men's soccer team as well as the Chinese women's soccer team. The competitiveness of the Chinese women's soccer team in the world is indeed declining, but is this only the responsibility of the Chinese women's soccer team? As a matter of fact, the Chinese men's soccer team must be "responsible" for this.
Why do you say that? It is true that Chinese women's soccer is strong because European women's soccer has not yet entered the professional era. As a result, the US women's soccer team was playing all over the world with the school soccer model, and the Chinese women's soccer team was succeeding in the national system. However, when European women's soccer joined the men's professional family and the big machine started running like crazy, European women's soccer instantly rose to prominence, the US women's dominance ceased to exist, and the Chinese women's soccer team was completely outclassed.
How did women's soccer develop so quickly in Europe? The answer is the help of men's soccer. The development of European women's soccer lies in some resources of the men's club. It is no exaggeration to say that the development of women's soccer in Europe was inevitable because the men's clubs were so well established. When a large number of female soccer players started playing in the Premier League and La Liga, they could be mass-produced into qualified players by simply training to the same standards as men's soccer. Therefore, it is the women's clubs that are the first to succeed in European women's soccer. The clubs were run as men's soccer, gaining a strong team, a strong market and a large number of good players. As nature would have it, the national teams became strong. That's why many fans say watching European women's soccer is very masculine. At present, the reason why Chinese women's soccer is going abroad on a large scale is also that China simply does not have a good platform, and the gap is bound to widen.
Why can't China produce good female soccer players? The reason is that men's soccer is so bad. Not to mention the FA is dragging its feet in many ways, take our Chinese Super League Chinese A and B clubs, they can't even beat the men's soccer team, so they don't have the resources to develop women's soccer. So to summarize, the development of women's soccer in Europe is entirely due to the success of men's soccer. The decline of Chinese women's soccer is entirely due to the failure of men's soccer to help women's soccer.
So don't blame the Chinese women's soccer team. The Chinese women's soccer team has realized the gap with the world's strongest teams and went abroad on a large scale to study and start afresh. In short, there is still a ray of hope for Chinese women's soccer. In contrast, men's soccer has completely rotted to its roots, and our players have very few opportunities to even study abroad.
