Asian Cup, cold door Cup. The most jealous of Chinese fans is estimated to have changed from a heroic and powerful person like Korea and Japan to a former “representative of poor students” like Vietnam and India “.
In the “class” in football Asia, a group of “poor students” represented by Vietnam and India suddenly changed and became a team that could break hands with the second-rate Asian students. Parents from all walks of life felt with emotion, especially Chinese “parents”.
Analyze the secret of the success of these teams. The most successful thing Vietnam has done is their youth training, while the Philippines has taken the route of domestication. In addition to the youth training, there is also the stimulation of long-term training and the Indian Super League. Domestication, youth training, and long-term national character training. These three “secrets” are no stranger to Chinese football giants. So, why did a fine example make progress so fast?
Of course there are many objective reasons. For example, their level was relatively low, and of course they improved faster; For example, everyone was unfamiliar with them. After the expansion of the Asian Cup, they were given the opportunity to show them, the strong teams are not familiar with their playing methods. Once they are familiar with them, they can restrain them accordingly……
But it is an indisputable fact that the opponents we looked down upon before are growing by a large margin, while the national football team has not made much progress and there is not enough fresh blood to supplement. So Lippi said helplessly: “(this Asian Cup) I have selected the best players in China. I have used some young players in some matches before, but their competition experience has not met the requirements.”
Lippi put it mildly. To be honest, at present, Chinese young players are still unable to take up work, so the Chinese team can only fight for the Asian Cup with the oldest face (average age 29 · 6 years old). On the other hand, Vietnam is almost based on the Olympic Games, and there are many young players in the Indian team. Even South Korea, Japan, Iran and Iraq have many young players waiting to stand out.
Why, why. In fact, there is a magic medicine with great skills after eating it. What is lacking in Chinese football is execution, and what is lacking is the determination to “not mean that the South will not rest, what is lacking is that success does not need to be achieved in my attitude. What is lacking is the personnel and system who do things in a down-to-earth manner.
In contrast, Vietnam, India and other teams, at least in the national team level, their implementation effect has exceeded ours. Behind the national team is the problem of the whole football system.
Of course, the three axes of domestication, youth training and long-term national character training may not bring rapid results immediately. Some, such as large-scale domestication, are not suitable for Chinese football, long-term training will bring some obstacles to professional league matches, and Vietnam and India are probably the second class in Asia that cannot shine on the World Cup stage, but this will not hinder them from pursuing their football dreams. For Chinese football, “the means of making up lessons” can be chosen according to their own reality, but this attitude of courage after Knowing shame, facing difficulties and making achievements for a long time is the foundation we lack most.
