On the contrary, one can not help but ponder: the root of the plight of Chinese soccer in the end where? Despite the fact that we have been calling for change year after year, it seems that we have not been able to produce our own soccer talent, "Cui Yishan".
The CFA and many media outlets often look at Japanese soccer as a mirror, comparing the differences between the two sides in terms of soccer environment, player participation, players studying abroad and treatment. They try to find excuses for China's lagging soccer, but often ignore the most critical - the construction and optimization of the soccer system.
The recently exposed 120-game match-fixing scandal has affected 41 clubs, with more than 40 people banned and 83 players, referees, coaches and club managers subjected to coercive measures. This storm not only affects many levels of the three-tier league of Chinese professional soccer, even the Women's Super League, which is known as the "pure land" of women's soccer, can not be spared, and the depth of its impact is staggering.
At a time when the fundamentals of soccer are still weak, it is undoubtedly a fool's errand to hope for the revival of Chinese soccer in a short period of time! Even with the active participation of many soccer enthusiasts and the investment of huge sums of money, it seems that the deep-rooted corruption cannot be filled, and ultimately it will only be a futile endeavor.
One can't help but wonder when those "moths" lurking in the shadows will be eradicated. What is even more distressing is that our women's soccer team, which was the runner-up in the Women's World Cup, has fallen to such a state.
What we lack is people who are passionate about soccer, people who are as dedicated to soccer as they are to aerospace research! If you can not analyze the problem from the mechanism, learn a lesson, only stay on the surface of the reflection and talk about comparison, then "fake gambling and black" will be difficult to dissipate the haze, the foundation of Chinese soccer will continue to suffer erosion.
Learning Japanese soccer is certainly a wise move, but with the current situation of our soccer, can we really follow suit? Since we can't reach Japan's level, why don't we get down to earth and start from the roots like North Korean soccer, focusing on the inheritance and cultivation of talents? Although some people think that the North Korean soccer system is not as good as ours, but why can they continue to progress in the past few years? While our soccer is still in the process of "scraping the bones to heal the poison" stagnation?
Although it is difficult for North Korean soccer to compete with Japanese soccer in terms of technology and tactics, it highlights the simple but profound truth that "what suits you is the best". For China's soccer, we should abandon the mentality of quick success and instant benefits, down-to-earth and solid foundation, from the youth training system to the league mechanism, from the coaching team to the quality of the players, to carry out a comprehensive and in-depth reflection and reform, and to truly find a way to develop soccer in line with China's national conditions.
