Well-known player Feng Xiaoting and former national football striker Gao Lin, the same Chinese men's football hold a slight. They discussed the topic of 2026 World Cup expansion in the live program. Gao Lin bluntly said that the expansion is not a bad thing, but the strength of the soccer is the hard truth. If the Chinese men's soccer team empty World Cup ticket, in fact, no substantive meaning, but is to pick up a big bargain.
The dilemma of Chinese soccer lies in the fact that the system is so flawed that it looks like all the efforts have come to naught.
Former national team captain Feng Xiaoting's disappointment and Gao Lin's heartache, they have insight into the crux of Chinese soccer, but they are powerless to do anything about it. Fans had laughed at their pessimism, yet the rise of a new generation of players has not changed the status quo.
Chinese soccer, since the road to specialization, has always been shrouded in mystery. Nearly 30 years of searching, so far has not been solved. Even in the search process, the soccer environment is increasingly distorted. We call "youth training" for many years, how effective? It is still unknown.
Youth training, can it really save Chinese soccer? The answer is probably no. Because of the lack of a perfect soccer system, from youth training to league, to study abroad, any administrative intervention may bury the genius. Chinese soccer is not lack of Messi, C Luo type of talented young people, but the poor environment makes it difficult for them to grow.
Nurturing young soccer seedlings is not all that is needed for the rise of Chinese soccer. How many talented youngsters have ended up in a hostile environment? China's soccer system is riddled with problems. It looks like professional soccer, but in reality, it is administrative intervention. In such an environment, we cannot even predict the future of Chinese soccer.
