In the 14th round of this season's Chinese Super League (CSL), the clash between Taishan and Seaport is undoubtedly the highlight of the season, and the battle between the two teams may directly determine the winner of this season's championship. However, the majority of fans and ordinary people in China are generally biased towards the Chinese Super League and even national soccer, often believing that Chinese professional soccer is shady and that its international performance does not truly reflect the standard of Chinese soccer. They accuse the professional league of not being professional enough, and believe that the Chinese soccer system has buried countless private soccer talents.
Especially after the rise of the "Village Super League", more and more voices began to disparage professional soccer and national teams. Let's analyze some of the unbelievable comments about the "Village Super League". One netizen curiously asked, "How on earth do those 'village super' players, who have never received formal training, play so many wonderful soccer skills?" First of all, it is clear that for those who lack long-term soccer experience, strength is essential to produce world-class soccer skills. Therefore, these "village super" players at least have the experience of playing soccer frequently. Frequent kicking means that they have a certain foundation in soccer and have mastered the necessary power and precision. In the case of low pressure on the defense, the opposing goalkeeper is relatively weak, kicking the world wave is not difficult.
After watching the "Village Super League", some viewers suggested a so-called "miracle plan" to get Chinese soccer out of Asia. The netizen said that he recruited 10,000 migrant workers in remote mountainous areas, gave them a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, and after a year's training, selected the best 30 to play in the World Cup, and eventually won a match and then rewarded 1 million people. This practice of using high material rewards to stimulate the potential of poor people, which seems to inspire them to play soccer with the utmost dedication, is nothing but absurdity.
This view is a great blasphemy to professional soccer and applies equally to other professions such as Nobel Prize winners, outstanding talents in fields such as science, technology, and medicine. But the truth is that these fields cannot produce leaders through just one year of intensive training. Tens of thousands of students are enrolled in soccer academies around the globe, and they train for much more than one year.
Sometimes, netizens' and fans' understanding of soccer reflects the overall level of soccer in China. Although the "Village Super League" itself is an excellent social and popular cultural and recreational activity, some people have compared it to professional soccer. It is not necessary for professional soccer to be better than the "Village Super League", as they belong to different fields and are not comparable. In terms of mass foundation and atmosphere, the Village Super League is even better than the professional league and national soccer. However, professional soccer does need to surpass the "Village Super League", and I hope that we will not confuse the difference between the two.
