The new helm, Gao Hongbo was honored with a key position, shouldering the responsibility of the rise of the national football team, the national football team is expected to usher in a turnaround. Today, the Football Association (FA) announced a major tournament, the new season of China's youth soccer league is about to kick off. Men's and women's soccer will be divided into nine teams, covering all age groups from elementary school to university. This tournament will be very beneficial to the future development of China's soccer, and will help the major leagues and teams to select the best talents.

Let us look back on the development of our soccer for more than 20 years. Due to the insufficient training of young players, the performance of our country's soccer has been unsatisfactory. Comparing the cultivation of young players in Asian national teams such as Japan and South Korea, China's soccer has finally made a new adjustment. Since the road of stars does not work, it is better to focus on training local young stars to build a stronger team. In the recent World Qualifier, our team failed with a dismal record, ending the 62-year undefeated record against Vietnam. In addition, our team has never lost to all the opponents in the twelve-team tournament in any of the World Qualifiers. This time, all the other five opponents in our team's group defeated our team, including Oman and Vietnam, teams ranked lower than our team in the world. It was certainly a slap in the face for the national soccer team, and what left people speechless was that the national team players showed slackness and laziness on the pitch.

In the match against Vietnam, for example, national team captain Wu Xi shrank his head to avoid the ball, and many players made super advanced mistakes with eye defense and stopping the ball to the opponent. All these fully illustrate that the national football team has reached the point where it must be completely pushed back and rebuilt. Han Qiaosheng, a famous CCTV talk show host, made it clear that if the current national football team is not rebuilt, I am afraid that it will be hopeless for 20 or even 30 years. In this case, I believe that all the patriotic football people have reached a consensus: to save the national football, can only be pushed down to rebuild, starting from the foundation, no decades will not be able to achieve the desired results. However, the soccer-related departments can conscientiously adhere to the policy does not waver, for the time being is still an unknown. The beginning of everything is difficult, the Football Association must first come up with a correct and positive attitude, and then put into practice as soon as possible, otherwise all is empty talk. According to the official news, China's youth soccer league is the football association newly launched national football reform program, focusing on the development of national school soccer, including elementary school to the university of a total of 9 levels, divided into men and women a total of 18 groups, follow the spirit of the principle of soccer from the children to start. In addition to the FA, the Ministry of Education and the General Administration of Sport are also involved in this program, indicating that changing the status quo of the national football has become a national political level operation. Regardless of the future outcome, this is definitely welcome news for the current poor and weak Chinese soccer. In terms of specific responsibilities, FA Chairman Chen Xuyuan is out as director of the operations room and should not be too involved in specific operations, while Gao Hongbo, vice chairman of the FA, serves as executive director, who will have a direct say in the implementation of the relevant guidelines, the implementation of the new system, and to ensure the smooth operation of the youth soccer league.

As we all know, Gao Hongbo has been in charge of youth training since he entered the National Football Association (NFA). In addition, he has served as a coach of the WFA and the national football team, and knows very well what the national football team lacks the most. The official appointment follows the standard of professionals doing professional style. Considering that the youth training system is incomplete, the FA hopes to select more young stars through our youth soccer league. This tournament is crucial to the future development of the national football team, so the FA has also organized very good leaders to coordinate the whole situation. Chen Xuyuan, the chairman of the FA, will be the director of the operation room, he will not be involved in the formulation of specific rules, but as the chairman, he must be responsible for the future of the national soccer team, so he will be involved in the selection of some big rules. The specific executive director will be Gao Hongbo, the coach. Gao Hongbo is known as the ceiling of China's local coaches, and he showed remarkable strength when he took over the position of head coach of China's men's soccer team, assisting the men's soccer team to defeat a number of strong teams. Although he was eventually forced to step down, in terms of his coaching ability, he has been comparable to many excellent foreign coaches. Therefore, it is crucial that Coach Gao Hongbo can serve as the executive director this time.

A lot of fans even think that the national football team is finally saved. Anyone who knows Gao Hongbo knows that he is a sad coach, not for the first time, was mercilessly abandoned by the Football Association. 2009 he first took office as the head coach of the national football team, creating a record of 23 wins, 11 draws and 4 losses, leading the national football team from the world ranking 108 to 69, with a salary of 500,000 yuan per year. He was instead replaced by Camacho, who was paid 4.3 million euros a year. Soon after, Camacho led the team to an early exit in the top 20, was insulted by Thailand 2 team 1-5 after the dismissal of leave. 2016, by Alan tossed almost the national football, and let Gao Hongbo out of the mountain. 2016 early Gao Hongbo fire line on the job, relying on the hat-trick of Jiang Ning to beat the Maldives to curb the trend, but then was forced to resign because of the meaning of the leadership of the Football Association. In any case, Gao Hongbo is loyal to the national football team. Gao Hongbo sincerely can draw up the rules of the youth soccer league, starting from the youth soccer players, improve the future strength of the national football team and assist the development of China's men's football. In any case, it is expected that coach Gao Hongbo and other excellent leaders can assist the national football team to show more wonderful strength and charm and get better results.

In fact, it is only in recent months that rumors of a youth soccer league in China have been circulating. With the operational efficiency of the soccer department in the past, it is impossible for the league to land in such a short period of time. Obviously Gao Hongbo and even Chen Xuyuan have played a key role in promoting the youth soccer league. Although fans are generally disappointed with Chen Xuyuan's leadership team due to the poor performance of the national soccer team, they can only trust them at this stage. Even if Gao Hongbo, who really wants to make the national soccer team better, has little significance for the presence of veterans in the darkness of the national soccer team, and will even slow down the development of the national soccer team. Now the official focus on youth soccer, the next few years may cultivate a number of young talents, they are the real hope of the national football, the national football will be saved in the future.
