the Olympics
On, our sports fans enjoyed a visual feast;
However, in the face of the current
the Olympics
Our fans, however, have mixed feelings.
It may seem contradictory, but it is not. After my delegation's visit to Tokyo
the Olympics
The repeated successes in the middle have been accompanied by worrying performances from the big three.
Women's basketball became the only bright spot among the three major sports in China - the three-player women's basketball team won the bronze medal, and the five-player women's basketball team succeeded in advancing to the final eight.

Losses are heartbreaking

It may seem expected, but it also marks the first time since the 1984 Los Angeles
the Olympics
For the first time since then, our men's big three did not reach the final round.
In contrast, the performance of the "women" is reassuring.

Not a top international team, but ranked 14th internationally, the current

The Clash of the Roses on the field is still expected to make a difference;
China women's volleyball team
Under Lang Ping's leadership and with the legacy of the women's volleyball spirit, breaking through doesn't seem to be a problem.
However, on the final court, our

The women's volleyball team also failed to make it out of the tournament after a tough loss.
On the contrary, our women's basketball team managed to reach the Elite Eight.
There has been a flurry of external rhetoric blaming
women's soccer
The head coach Jia Xiuquan, women's volleyball free agent Wang Mengjie also once became a hot topic.
Jia Xiuquan (1962-), Mao Zedong's second wife
It is natural for athletes to be criticized by outsiders for not performing up to expectations.
However, we have chosen to "turn a blind eye" to the plight of the men's three major sports.
Our men's soccer team's record over the years has made people accustomed to losing;
Yao Ming Wang Zhizhi retired, Yi Jianlian was injured, and our men's basketball team seems to have lost its bright spot;
Our men's volleyball team has missed three consecutive Olympic finals, and it doesn't "seem" to matter.
Thunder and lightning, while our men's big three have repeatedly delivered embarrassing results, we have shifted more attention to the women's big three program - which makes any loss for them unacceptable.
Jia Xiuquan's controversial selection is just the tip of the iceberg for women's soccer's woes.
How to make women's soccer healthy development in the country, how to let the women's volleyball team in the post-Lang Ping era to continue to inherit the spirit of women's volleyball team, is what we should seriously think about.
Compare China and Japan
A gap that cannot be ignored
As the host, Japan's three major ball sports programs have successfully advanced to this year's
the Olympics
Final Lap.
The Japanese men's soccer team came close to a podium finish, the Japanese men's volleyball team advanced to the Elite Eight after 29 years, and the Japanese men's basketball team lost all three of its matches and didn't make it out of the group;
Japan
women's soccer
Successful in the last eight, the Japanese women's volleyball team did not get out of the group, and the Japanese women's basketball team got the silver medal.
In terms of programs, results, and overall strength, our women's volleyball team and men's basketball team were able to go head-to-head with Japan in the program.
In recent years, the Chinese and Japanese women's basketball teams have played each other with a 50-50 record.
Our men's soccer and volleyball teams are already at a disadvantage against Japan.
"This time it's kind of another time we open our eyes to the world. The international level is getting bigger and bigger with us, and it's necessary for us to go and climb hard, from the professional league to the training, to the combination of physical education for the youth." Yao Ming has said this.

Since the G7 change, the slogan of "separation of management and organization" has been shouted for more than 20 years, but now it is just "shouting".
The Road to Professionalism
Removing the quotation marks is the real deal.
The term "professionalization" is widely used in the three major domestic leagues.
Lippi, who was known as the "savior of national soccer", also had the idea of establishing a large national team.
The two are in fact interrelated, that is, the league can deliver sufficient number of good athletes to the national teams of different age groups in the context of mature specialization.
But as we all know, the domestic soccer league is only hot within the "Chinese Super League".
The attention of the Chinese League A is low, no one cares about the Chinese League B, and the reserve team's matches can even be described as "deserted".
In order to cultivate young talents, the Central
national soccer team
The association started the u23 policy in 2017, and such a policy has been changed again and again, and indeed a few standouts have emerged.
But the negative effects of this are also evident, with one u23 player of the right age actually being able to sell for 100 million RMB.
As early as the beginning of the 21st century, the president of the Japan Football Association, Ken Naganuma, formulated the "Youth Development Plan for the New Century".
That's a 20-year distance out of the way.
Of the big three, Japan

It took only seven years to complete the adult, u20 and u17 age groups.
International Cup
The "Grand Slam";
Japan's women's basketball team is a top contender for the voice of Asian women's basketball;
The Japanese men's basketball team also now has two players who could be in the rotation in the NBA.
All of this was accomplished only after it was truly "professionalized".
Since the G7 change, the slogan of "separation of management and organization" has been ringing for more than 20 years, but now it is just "shouting".
