Feng Xiaoting not only looks down on the national soccer team, but former national soccer striker Gao Lin also looks down on the Chinese men's soccer team. He talked about the 2026 World Cup expansion on air. Gao Lin said that the World Cup expansion is a good thing, but it makes sense to participate in the World Cup only if he has hard power. If he does not have the strength, even if he enters the World Cup is meaningless (purely to pick up 8.5 places cheap), nothing more than to make himself happy.
What about Chinese soccer? If the system is not good, everything will be in vain.
As a former national team captain, it's a great sadness of Chinese soccer that strikers can't see national soccer. Whether it's Feng Xiaoting or Gao Lin, what they see is certainly more profound than amateur spectators. They know the problems of Chinese soccer, but what can be the solution? Countless fans used to laugh at Feng Xiaoting and Gao Lin, but now they can't see the new generation of players.
How did Chinese soccer do it? This question has been asked since the beginning of specialization, and now after nearly 30 years of asking, there is still no answer! Even on the way to finding this answer, the whole soccer environment has gone down a monstrous path, we have been shouting about youth training, youth training for more than a decade, and the result?
We come back to the question, can we have hope if we focus on youth training? Still no! Because we do not have a good soccer system, the key is a complete youth training and growth system, from youth training to youth league, to professional league, to study abroad, even said any uncontrollable administrative factors, will erase a genius, Chinese soccer is not short of Messi, c Luo type of talented young people, but can only be drowned in the harsh environment of Chinese soccer.
It's not as if raising a good youth soccer seedling will make soccer rise. How many of our talented youngsters end up as injured Zhongyong? Because there is simply no good soil for growth in the environment of Chinese soccer, and there are many problems with the system of Chinese soccer now. We say it is professional soccer, but it is actually administrative soccer. No one can see the future of Chinese soccer.
