On the first day of the first month, the Chinese men's football team unfortunately lost to Vietnam, and this battle became the center of the storm of public opinion. Captain Wu Xi mentioned in an interview that international players often eat sea cucumbers, a remark that drew the ire of the public and became a target. Recently, Liu Jianhong, a well-known commentator, was outspoken in the program, exposing the rumors about China's

of the many misconceptions, such as don't eat sea cucumbers or drive luxury cars if you can't play soccer, and blaming soccer education on Haidian mothers, he warns that these misconceptions are extremely harmful.

Liu Jianhong used an analogy to say: "If your math scores are among the best in your school, but because of the poor school climate, the regional ranking is behind and disqualified for the competition, the National Mathematics Olympiad has become a turning point for you. The results of the competition are unsatisfactory, and when you return from the competition, you are treated with indifference by the people around you. At this point, you realize that you have become a target, and this story is not exactly the story of China.

of the status quo?"

"In this misunderstanding, you may feel wronged, but it is difficult to defend yourself. China

One of the perceived misconceptions is that players do not work hard, are not talented, should not enjoy sea cucumbers, luxury cars, designer watches, private jets and five-star hotels, etc., and that nothing should exist as long as they underachieve." Liu further elaborated, "However, no one has ever reflected on whether we give our players good education, training environment and resources to develop their sense of competition and rigorous training from an early age, which ultimately leads to their poor performance on the field."

"Instead of reflecting on the quality of the school, the philosophy of the teachers and the principal, we blame the participating students for all the problems. Everyone feels relieved when we put all the blame on individuals. How long are we going to linger in this circle?"

Can the situation be reversed by entering the college entrance examination? Liu Jianhong said bluntly, "Can the problem be solved just by soccer entering the college entrance examination? Shouldn't volleyball, ice hockey, table tennis, badminton and other sports enter the college entrance exam? These high-achieving sports also need more children's participation. Logically alone, there are huge obstacles to this idea."

According to Liu Jianhong, "It is not soccer that should enter the college entrance examination, but all sports should enter the college entrance examination. More importantly, soccer should enter colleges and universities, and physical education should enjoy its due status and space in colleges and universities. Only in this way can our education system form a complete physical education system."

"It has been said that putting China

Leave it to Haidian Mom to fix everything. I have to ask, are Haidian moms willing to commit their kids to the soccer field? Are they willing to let their children try soccer when there is no way out? Soccer is different from studying and requires more challenges and competition. Do our parents have the courage and strong heart to let their children get hurt on the soccer field so often?" Liu emphasized, "It's not about giving soccer to Haidian mothers, but about getting all parents to support it and letting their children undergo training on the soccer field to develop communication skills, team spirit and a different mindset in the face of adversity. This is a great opportunity for China's
