a 0-7 defeat completely tore off the fig leaf of chinese football, which may not be a bad thing.

the decline in chinese football is something we all know. but how serious is it? we don’t know until we face off against strong teams.

in the round of 36, the chinese national football team played very stumblingly. we were tied by singapore and thailand. we felt that the chinese national football team was about to be caught up by the southeast asian teams, but we were secretly lucky that we only lost to south korea 0-1. so, there is a sense of crisis, but there are still illusions.

finally, it was the round of 18. in the first match, the chinese national football team was beaten 7-0 by the japanese team, which completely shattered our daydreams. this is the true level of chinese football, which has fallen to the third or fourth rate in asia, and there is no sign of rebounding. throughout the game, the chinese national football team not only had poor tactical qualities, but also lacked players who could take responsibility, and the coach was blindly optimistic, and finally lost miserably.

ok, the bubbles have finally been blown away. now we can really solve the problem.

so, what should we do next? first of all, we must face up to the root cause of this problem. after experiencing "golden dollar football", the foundation of chinese football has been destroyed, and the talent gap and the lack of successors in the lineup have directly led to a decline in the overall strength of the team. secondly, we must recognize the reality that this situation may last for a long time. at present, the national youth, national youth and national olympic teams are not competitive at the asian level. the national teams in the age group of 2000 to 2002 have all missed the finals of the intercontinental competition. faced with such a situation, no matter how the adult national team integrates its combat effectiveness, it is difficult to make significant improvements in results. finally, it is not terrible to admit that regression and backwardness are not terrible. in the face of cruel reality, we can only hope to get back on track by starting over steadily.
