In the global competitive arena, soccer is undoubtedly the brightest star, and people's passion for it is growing day by day. With the enhancement of national strength, China's sports field is ushering in the blossoming of spring, and the hardware facilities of training bases are even comparable to those of developed countries. However, the Chinese men's soccer team has never been able to get out of the doldrums, and has even been reduced to a "third-rate" player in the Asian soccer world. So what is the reason for the

Stopping short? And what are the challenges it faces?

I. Natural deficiencies of the constitution

Asians generally have lower muscularity, and are not comparable to European and American races in terms of flexibility or bone strength. Undeniably.

There is a natural gap with the world's top soccer teams. In addition, our dietary habits differ significantly from those of Europeans and Americans, with a vegetarian-based diet structure that makes it difficult to develop a robust physique compared to the meat-based diets of Europeans and Americans. These innate deficiencies, coupled with differences in acquired habits, make the

Difficulty in crossing the gulf in fitness and being left behind by players from other countries.

II. Lack of a youth training system

In the early days of our country's professionalization path, we focused on the construction of the top league, but the crucial behind-the-scenes work went unnoticed. Neglect of the groundwork led to lagging player selection, the gradual disappearance of the sports school model, the failure of school soccer to rise, lagging club ladder construction, and ultimately the serious problems of player disconnection and a lack of youth. At the early stage of professionalization, we did not carry out long-term and meticulous planning, focusing only on the immediate team training and neglecting the discovery of a new batch of outstanding seedlings. When the professional team disappears and there is no source of reserve talents for the top league, even if the league is prosperous, it will be a castle in the air and will eventually dissipate.

III. Small player base and high training costs

According to statistics, in 2021 there will be only 50,000 registered soccer players in the country. Out of a population of 1.4 billion, only 50,000 people will become registered players, a worrying figure and proportion. This also reflects that the cost of training soccer players in China is extremely high, and the registration threshold is difficult to cross.

To become a registered player in China, you have to enter a sports school at a very young age, say goodbye to the school life of your peers, and continue to train and live a monotonous life. The national quest for "first place" and "gold medals" is especially evident on the path to promotion, where you have to get stronger and work your way up from the local team to the provincial team, and eventually to the national team. However, very few people can really become the elite, and who can afford to pay the price behind the scenes? Such a vicious cycle leads to

There is a serious shortage of reserve talent. Lowering the barrier to entry is a top priority if players are to be expanded.

IV. The fickleness of the atmosphere in the industry

not merely

The whole industry is permeated with an atmosphere of utilitarianism and impatience, and the temptation of money is hard to resist. In our country, players who can participate in the professional league are in relatively good financial conditions, and those who have outstanding performance in the Chinese Super League and are slightly famous can earn high income. Under such circumstances, players are reluctant to work hard to improve their individual skills. Moreover, the existing system leads to the men's soccer is not capable of, but seniority, many talented players can not get on the field and promotion opportunities, and over time, everyone is reluctant to play soccer.

So far it has not yet formed its own unique style and suitable playing style, always being influenced by the outside world, learning from Germany for a while, imitating Yugoslavia for a while, and occasionally bringing in Italian coaches to change the training style again. There is no fixed tactical system, do not think about how to play their own advantages, tactics and their own strengths combined, learning more is futile.

If you want to realize the development, first of all, to ensure the normal operation of the basic work, for the cause of soccer to cultivate generation after generation of outstanding talents; appropriate lowering of the assessment standards of registered players, so that more people have the opportunity to try and love soccer; at the same time, rectify the industry culture, eliminate the laziness and dissipation, committed to research and develop their own style and play, play to their strengths. In this way, the Chinese men's soccer team will be able to get rid of the stagnant status quo, and let the people of China see that

Getting on track.
