in the first match of the world cup asian qualifiers, the japanese men's football team defeated the chinese men's football team 7:0. the fans were speechless and suddenly realized: it turned out that cctv had predicted that it did not buy the broadcasting rights.

as we all know, every time the chinese national football team loses, there will be new jokes, and this time is no exception."japan has 23 overseas players, and the chinese national football team has no. 23 liu yang"; such as when fan zhiyi was live on the bundthe maximum score on the scoreboard was 6 points, but the team lost 7 points., was so angry that he wanted to jump into the huangpu river; for example, the black japanese goalkeeper suzuki ayano almost caught a cold, and netizens gave warm advice:"cai yan, be more careful and wear more coats when you play against the chinese team next time!"

besides the jokes, japanese football has long since left asia and entered europe. the total value of the starting lineup is 195 million euros, 30 times that of the 6.15 million of the chinese national team's starting lineup. goals scored by endo wataru and minamino takumi play for teams in the top five european leagues.

on the other hand, shanghai haigang striker wu lei scored 28 goals in the chinese super league, but he didn't even touch the ball in this game. three of the defense came from shanghai shenhua, which conceded the fewest goals this season, but their tactical skills were almost petrified in front of the cooperation of japanese players in europe.

the gap between japanese football and chinese football today is both a victory in integrating into the world and a failure in standing still.as the sport with the largest number of participants, the most developed professionalism and the most complex system in the world, the laws of football are always objective. they are not subject to individual will and cannot be compensated for in the short term with money.

the chinese men’s basketball team, which has become more and more like men’s soccer, has also paid the price for its “homegrown steelmaking”. not only has it missed the olympic games for two consecutive times, but it has also frequently been the point-giver in front of southeast asian teams. in the words of yao ming, chairman of the basketball association:we are experiencing the pain of being "out of touch" with the world, and this cannot be solved by simply changing a coach.

fan zhiyi complains about famous scenes

the public and the bigwigs were not satisfied, and they all came up with all kinds of suggestions: for example, he xiaopeng, the founder of xiaopeng motors, believed that if new energy vehicle companies each formed a racing team, they would be able to beat japan in 5 to 10 years. in addition to this statement, similar proposals were also common, such as sending special forces, death row prisoners, women's football team, liyue team, the national olympic and national youth team, guizhou village super league, tsinghua university team...

even more popular than the above argument is the "old path" plan tailored by netizens in response to the decline of major sports: football was able to beat japan during the sports team era, and basketball was among the top eight in the world in the 1990s. it was the complete push into the market that eroded the athletes' hard work and fighting spirit - as if only by returning to the national system and implementing the "three obediences and one major" can the unfavorable situation of "football and basketball are all in vain" be reversed.

but will everything really get better if we go back to the old ways?

01. the old road that is no longer viable

always wanting to go back to the past is because you don’t understand history.

for example, since the reform and opening up, some people have always felt that the commune canteen is good, the big pot rice is delicious, the supply and marketing cooperatives are cheap and good, and the supply is fair to everyone. driven by this trend, "ultimate solutions" at all levels of society have emerged one after another:when the performance of major sports balls is poor, they say they will return to the sports work team; when the entertainment industry is in chaos, they say they will return to the state-owned film studios; when capital exploitation is serious, they say it is safer to take the exam and get a job.

however, the characteristics of the times mentioned above include but are not limited to food coupons, cloth coupons, bicycle tickets, tv tickets and air tickets; accommodation on business trips requires a certificate and a letter of introduction from the unit; marriage and divorce require the approval of the organization and the seal of the superior; housing can only be allocated by the unit, and either gifts will be given or people will cry. including the failure to restore the college entrance examination selection and the non-mobility of different household registrations, it is all in line with the old path.once the gears of history start turning, they never give individuals the right to have double standards.

ticket supply in the movie "hello, li huanying"

the reason why the above cognition has an impact in the field of sports where there are objective standards is that if logic is not learned well, it is easy to mistake facts for truth.

a fact that is often used to mislead people is that the chinese men's basketball team made it to the top eight in the world in 1996, 2004 and 2008, relying on players such as yao ming, wang zhizhi, liu yudong and gong xiaobin, who were not trained in the market, but were selected by the system. the strongest guard in the history of the chinese men's basketball team, hu weidong, is a native professional scorer who not only beat argentina and brazil in foreign wars, but also scored 30 points on kobe bryant.

the same idea can be applied to football, starting from li huitang, the football king of the republic of china. chinese football was ahead of japan for 80 years, but lost in the past 30 years. this "long-term" perspective can indeed inspire morale, but it is more likely to deepen a certain ideological imprint:since professional teams select players for immediate use, and professionalization will only produce sub-standard players, we must of course resolutely go back to the old ways.

because in the minds of some netizens, football and basketball are just a group of people practicing shooting, shooting, dribbling and other basic skills behind closed doors. why did they lose? because they didn't practice hard enough, and they didn't have the spirit of the older generation of athletes to win glory for the country. why didn't they practice hard enough? because they made too much money, and became internet celebrities who were pampered and got what they wanted without working.

the only solution now is to provide poor treatment to motivate the young masters to improve their standards[1].

the subtext of this traffic logic is that competitive sports do not require mass participation or a prosperous market, but only require a small number of talented professional athletes to train hard and perfect their skills, physical fitness and confrontation. commercialization not only does not help cultivate warriors on the field, but also breeds corruption and profit transfer, as can be seen from the failure of professional football reform.

but the heartbreaking fact is: if the national system was really effective in the field of major sports, men's football would not have been pushed into the market in the first place.

china's professional football league was established in 1989. after the hongshankou conference in 1993, it was decided to promote a professional league with clubs as the main participants. before the first year of the jia a in 1994, the talent selection mechanism of chinese football followed the model of sports school-sports team-national team, which was no different from those olympic gold medal projects. the state sports commission (the predecessor of the general administration of sports) disbanded the men's football sports team mainly based on the following two points.

the chinese national football team lost to hong kong in the 1985 world cup qualifiers

first, the performance in foreign wars was unstable and the team often suffered setbacks.

in 1985, in the mexico world cup qualifiers, the chinese national football team, which had just won the runner-up in the asian cup, lost to the hong kong team 1:2 at the beijing workers' stadium, triggering the "may 19 incident" that angered the public.

in 1989, during the qualifiers for the world cup in italy, the chinese national football team lost two games at the last minute against the united arab emirates and qatar, which led to the name "black three minutes";

in 1990, at the beijing asian games, on national day, the chinese national football team lost 0:1 to thailand in the quarter-finals, and coach gao fengwen resigned.

in 1993, in the qualifiers for the world cup in the united states, the chinese national football team lost 0-1 to the weak west asian team yemen, which did not even have a home court, in irbid, jordan, and the foreign coach schlapner was overshadowed.

"accidents" like the chinese national football team's loss to vietnam on the first day of the lunar new year actually happened more often before professionalization. it was precisely because they repeatedly lost points to weak teams that managers were forced to pilot a professional league.

seven years after the start of professionalization, the chinese team, which had experienced more systematic competitions, more intense confrontations, and even the support of overseas players, finally opened the door to the korea-japan world cup with a record of 6 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss. if you only focus on the fact that fan zhiyi and sun jihai were discovered by the sports team, but don't look at what they went through later, you will naturally miss the big picture.

second, collective projects have a low input-output ratio and are not cost-effective.

many people have a filter for the "national system" of sports, thinking that it means winning rankings and gold medals at all costs, but in fact, real professional teams pay great attention to kpi. the state allocates funds to the sports commission every year and requires the maximum utilization of this fund.the sports commission (general administration) understands tian ji's horse racing.therefore, it is impossible to distribute the money evenly among the 99 sports under its jurisdiction. instead, resources should be concentrated on the advantageous projects with the greatest potential for achieving results[2].

since taxpayers' money is spent, it is not enough to just have fun, but also to save as much as possible. this is why single-person sports such as weightlifting, table tennis, and diving can be prosperous for a long time because of the high return on investment. on the contrary, for those high-input, low-output projects, it is necessary to stop losses in time.before football became professional, the sports commission allocated only 1-2 million yuan of its annual funding to the football association.[3]。

it's not that the higher-ups don't like football, but collective sports are not suitable for the "national system," and football is the most uncomfortable of all: many athletes are needed on the field, and even more sparring partners are needed off the field. the provincial sports team has to support at least 20 people, and there are also municipal teams and youth teams under it, which have the highest expenses and the worst results.in individual events, one person can hope to win a medal, but in football, a group of people can only win one medal at most - in fact, they can get no medal at all.

the last straw that broke the camel's back for the men's football team was china's failure to win the gold medal at the 1988 seoul olympics. under pressure from public opinion, the "olympic glory plan" with the basic strategy of "small, difficult and young girls" was officially launched in the mid-1990s. since then, men's major ball events have become useless, and the men's football team, which has been defeated repeatedly, has been directly thrown to the market.

in other words, it is not football that has given up the national system, but the national system that has given up football.

02. the dream that i can’t wake up from

the fact that the sports team is good at playing big balls is actually an illusion of "rich ancestors". the obsession with the advantages of horizontal comparison in the 1980s is a typical case of trying to find a sword by carving a mark on the boat.

in team events, what chinese sports can achieve is professionals playing against amateurs, and given its relative population advantage, professionals playing against professionals. but in the long run, it is impossible for professionals to play against professionals.

as he xiaopeng mentioned, the chinese national football team still had an advantage over japan at the end of the last century: first, in the 1987 olympic qualifiers, the chinese olympic team defeated japan 2-0 and advanced to the seoul olympics; second, in the 1998 dynas cup (the predecessor of the east asian cup), the chinese team relied on the headers and kicks of center forward li bing to defeat the opponent with a score of 2-0.

wei qun defends japanese players

the reason why china could beat japan in football at that time was because the opponent was not yet professional, the selection of players was narrow, and the level was limited. old fans must have memories of such scenes. when the chinese football team got the ball on the wing, the japanese players were completely outpaced in speed. including when playing against shorter southeast asian teams, the "chinese header team" could often crush the opponent with simple crosses from the wing.

but when our neighboring countries have completely marketed a sport, started with popularization and promotion, taken root in community schools, and established an industrial culture, it is only a matter of time before we fall behind.

the japanese j. league started in 1965. it was originally a semi-professional league like the a-league and the chinese super league, with teams sponsored by companies. it was then changed to a professional league in 1993 and corporate sponsorship was cancelled. in 1994, the first year of the a-league, china’s per capita gdp was us$473, while japan’s was us$39,268, a difference of 83 times[2].

the chinese internet often refers to the j-league and the chinese football association a league as the "meiji restoration" and the "westernization movement" in the football field. this analogy is indeed very vivid.however, the marketization of japanese football is the result of gradual development based on the accumulation of football population and market cultivation, while chinese football was forced to go out of business and make a living on its own in 1994.japanese football completed its professional transformation in the early 1990s, while chinese football has always retained its "characteristics".

after more than 30 years of seriously promoting football to the market, japanese and korean players are now everywhere in european leagues. the scottish premier league team celtic can field three japanese starters in the champions league. kaoru mitoma, who was born in japanese school football, "inspects" the entire right side of the premier league with his excellent dribbling skills. although the total number of korean football players studying abroad is less than that of japan, they have produced phenomenal superstars such as "asian no. 1" son heung-min.

the fact that the chinese national football team has lost more than it has won in the past thirty years against japan and south korea is not due to accidental factors on the field. the basic logic is:once the advantages of intensive training are surpassed by the participation of the entire nation, the result will be irreversible.opponents are selected and eliminated on a larger basis, and youth training standards have long been in line with international standards. professional sports provide the most rigorous, sound and fair talent selection mechanism, which cannot be compared with administrative instructions and mobilization meetings.

women's football 2022 asian cup winning moment

the most typical example in this section is not the men’s major ball, but the women’s football team, which is often called upon to replace the men’s team.on the current major online platforms, praising the women's football team and belittling the men's football team has a large traffic market, but it also reflects that many people's impression of the "steel roses" still remains in the 1990s.

in the world of football, men's and women's football are two different sports in terms of development stage. most of the world's football powers have long ignored the development of women's football. the chinese women's football team, which started earlier with professionalism, used to be a traditional strong team that was "no. 1 in asia and world-class". in the 1999 world cup final, the golden generation of chinese women's football lost to the united states on penalties, just one step away from winning the championship.

but in the past five to ten years, as european countries invested resources to support professional women's football, european teams that previously lacked competitiveness in international competitions began to catch up.uefa predicts in its five-year plan that the number of registered women’s football players in europe will reach 2.5 million by 2024. in the women’s premier league, an average of more than 6,000 fans watched each game last season, while in the women’s champions league, more than 90,000 people flocked to barcelona’s camp nou, reaching the attendance rate of men’s football matches[4].

in the 2021 tokyo olympics, the chinese women's football team lost 0:5 to brazil and 2:8 to the netherlands in the group stage, and has no advantage against europe and the united states. at this stage, it is a tragedy for women's football to break out of asia. on the one hand, we are stuck in the same place, and on the other hand, our opponents are making rapid progress. according to the observation of women's football legend sun wen, every position in european women's football now has the ability to compete for 90 minutes, and their physical conditions, tactical qualities, and game rhythm are becoming more and more like men's football.

women's football team loses to england in world cup group stage

the most representative benchmark is the england women’s football team. before becoming professional, this weak team had always been defeated by the chinese women’s football team. in the 2005 algarve cup, the women’s football team narrowly defeated england on penalties, and was criticized by the domestic media for “we can’t even beat england”. in 2011, the women’s premier league was established, and the england women’s football team began to link up with the youth training system of men’s clubs. in last year’s women’s world cup, the england women’s football team easily defeated the chinese women’s football team 6:1[5].

the rapid rise of european women's football is based on its own men's professional football system and community football culture, which has a century of mature experience.on the other hand, in china, the men’s football team has been bouncing back and forth in the vicious circle of competition results and pseudo-professionalism for nearly three decades, and has no foundation at all, resulting in the women’s football team having no ready-made model to rely on.

today's women's football team is yesterday's men's football team and tomorrow's men's basketball team.

03. unfinished reform

the reason why the argument for "restoring the sports team" is so popular is that the core narrative of the big ball (football) has changed in the past three decades.

in the past, it was generally believed that as long as the state and capital worked together, football could be promoted. however, in the past few years, the state has attached great importance to football, and capital has been very enthusiastic. in addition to creating a decade of inflation in the chinese super league, the performance of the national team has become increasingly sluggish. if a path does not produce results, it is considered to be the wrong path. with a result-oriented approach, it seems that the blame should be placed on professionalism.

in fact, confrontational team competitions must be firmly handed over to the market, that is, the professional leagues must be run well, and the national team's performance should only be the natural result of the sound development of related industries.pursuing competitive results while ignoring the laws of sports is a typical example of putting the cart before the horse.

men's basketball at the world cup

as the saying goes, “when the big river is full, the small rivers are full; when the big river is empty, the small rivers are dry.” the “big river” that determines the level of development of a country’s football is neither the country nor capital, but society[6]. if social forces are weak, big football cannot develop.whether it is football or basketball, the prerequisite for achieving professionalism is market economy and rule of law.

take basketball as an example. we seem to have a commercially operated league, investors, transfers, tv broadcasts and sponsors, but the selection of players has long been unable to combine sports and education, which has wasted the mass base. since yao ming took office, he has focused on youth basketball training and promoting exchanges between cubal (college basketball league) and cba. wang lanxin, li yiyang and others who have played in the cba in recent years are all college players who came out of the draft.

however, in the deep waters of professionalization, basketball has not only stagnated like football, but the cba’s reform progress is even slower than that of the chinese super league. some of the 20 teams are affiliated with the system, some are controlled by state-owned enterprises, and some are privately invested. the ownership structures are very different, and the implementation of the league’s principles and the willingness to reform are naturally inconsistent.[7]

men's basketball world cup 1 win 4 losses

in other words, whether it is the former jia a or the current chinese super league and cba, the reforms are only half done and have never been truly professionalized. the unprofessional aspects are mainly reflected in the following three points.

first, management and operation are not separated.

the core of separation of management and operation does not lie in whether the functional departments have formally ended the dual-track system of "two signs, one team", but in whether they have actually completed the transformation from managers to service providers.for example, the "chinese football professional league" proposed by the football association is like kafka's "the castle", which is always so close but never gets around.

when the 2016 plan was proposed, the football association executive committee said: "we should have some results within this year."

at a media briefing in 2017, the head of the professional league council said, "the professional league has entered the countdown and is expected to be officially established at the end of february or march."

at the 2018 league summary meeting, du zhaocai, then secretary of the football association’s party committee, said: “the football association will further promote the separation of management and operation, and the professional league will be established next year.”

at a press conference in 2019, liu yi, then secretary general of the football association, said: "in the future, the football association will fully delegate power to the professional league, and the professional league will definitely be established before the end of the year."

in may 2020, chen xuyuan, then chairman of the chinese football association, said in a live broadcast with cctv host bai yansong: "the establishment of the professional league is nearing completion and will be established in one or two months."

in march 2023, liu jun, then chairman of the chinese super league company, said: "the establishment of the professional league is being actively promoted, and there is no clear timetable yet."

everyone knows what happened later. although the professional league did not get involved, all the people mentioned above were imprisoned in the new round of anti-corruption campaign in football.

the predecessor of the professional league can be traced back to the first year of the chinese super league. against the backdrop of match-fixing and refereeing scandals, seven clubs including dalian shide and beijing guoan advocated the "g7 revolution" with the goal of "separating government and business, and separating management and operation". however, this proposal for professional clubs to operate the league themselves was rejected by the organizers that year[8].

wang jianlin's early initiatives

in the earlier jia a period, dalian wanda's investor wang jianlin had already proposed that clubs could set up their own league committees to handle league advertising, auctions, competitions and other matters, and pay 5%-10% of their revenue to the football association every year, which would be enough to support the national team. this idea, which was later recognized by the football association, was not only ahead of its time, but has not yet been implemented.

just as some unions are responsible for safeguarding rights and interests, and some are responsible for organizing movie watching. the professional leagues in football-developed countries are able to independently perform their duties in order to maximize commercial interests. precisely because power is always in the hands of club investors and professional managers, even if there are many rats in the european football association, it will never shake the foundation of the country's football.

in europe, the football association is a public institution responsible for coordinating the normal development of national sports and does not make profits through investments in professional leagues. however, when the chinese super league was established in 2006, the football association held 36% of the shares, and the 16 clubs each held 4%. at the same time, the league's broadcasting and advertising monopoly rights were also taken away, making the home stadium management rights of each club incomplete[9].

facing external doubts, the football association chose to learn from italy, a football-developed country with frequent corruption cases. nan yong, then vice chairman of the football association, once asked a soul-searching question to the representatives of the serie a league during his inspection in milan:"how much do you take from the tv rights?"the italian was confused when asked: "we are just an office organized by serie a clubs. we only have office expenses, and no commission for the organization itself."

second, it is difficult for talent to flow.

the core of sports marketization is free flow. in terms of restrictions on player transfers, the cba is not as good as the chinese super league, and zhou qi's transfer controversy is a typical example. in the story of this top basketball player, according to the cba's regulations on transfer terms: after the contract of a class d top-paid player expires, the exclusive signing right belongs to the team. if the player signs with a new club, he should pay a training fee to the original team.

zhou qi's transfer controversy reflects the professional dilemma of men's basketball players

it is difficult to achieve free transfer in basketball. the root cause is that most of the high-level athletes in the country do not enter the professional track through school and draft like nba players, but are selected and trained by local sports committees (sports bureaus) through sports schools and sports teams. some players are jointly owned by sports management departments and clubs [1].for local sports bureaus that value the results of the national games, transfers mean changes in the player's registration relationship, which is like letting outsiders take advantage of the situation.

the transfer dilemma in the football field is mainly reflected in the listing-delisting system during the jia a period, that is, players can only apply for transfers, but the next club is decided by the football association based on the league rankings and the various clubs. under the shell of "fairness" is the shadow of power rent-seeking. this system began in 1998 and was not abolished until 2010 when evergrande spent money to enter the market and raised the bargaining power of players[10].

third, the degree of commercialization is low.

there is a view that there are two main forms of financing for chinese football: one is state-owned enterprises pouring money into it, and the other is private enterprises seeking convenience through football. regardless of the form, the essence is that the state pours resources into supporting it, so it is very ignorant for chinese players to say that they earn money from the market[11].

in the past few years, the chinese super league has been dubbed the "real estate league", and companies have invested in football clubs at a loss in order to acquire land and advertise.those players born after 1985 who caught up with the high salaries actually earned public relations fees from the real estate industry.unlike investors who need to calculate costs, speculators pay more attention to effects and benefits beyond football. it is precisely because of this original intention that the hematopoietic function of the chinese super league teams is generally weak.

according to international experience, the best assets of a football club are to build youth training, build stadiums, and cultivate the football market, but the capital of the chinese super league is mostly spent on signings, which are rapidly depreciating in value. this has caused the ecology of most chinese super league clubs to be very distorted: poor youth training, no guarantee for the echelons, a lack of successors, weak performance of the first team, and the stadium is not their own, but foreign players always command sky-high prices that shock the world[6].

of course, the unprofessionalism of the chinese super league cannot be entirely blamed on investors. the more common consensus is:the league has been established for 30 years, but lacks complete laws, regulations and arbitration mechanisms, and the attitudes of superiors often replace rules and regulations.

such phenomena include the chinese super league company's refusal to recruit clubs individually and signing an exclusive long-term sponsorship contract with nike; the league often giving way to national team training and ignoring the interests of various clubs; the u23 policy is counterproductive, violates the laws of sports, and undermines the fair mechanism; players who perform poorly in the national team will be subject to internal penalties when they return to the club.

before the "ban on studying abroad", fan zhiyi had already received a professional contract from liverpool

there are also many examples in china that reflect the following:

in the field of basketball, wang zhizhi was removed from the national team in 2002 because he stayed in the nba to play and did not return to china to participate in the world championships and asian games, and he was criticized for this; in the field of football, during the 2001 top ten games, the chinese football association issued a "ban on studying abroad" and forcibly recalled european players such as fan zhiyi, zhang enhua, yang chen, and xie hui, affecting the career prospects of these national team players.

04. the reality that cannot be avoided

the domestic public opinion discussion on competitive sports has an underlying logic of four words - "being bad is the original sin." this has caused news like "guangzhou evergrande's main players only earn 15,000 yuan a month" to become a hot topic in the post-jin and yuan dynasty era, which can only attract the gloating of the onlookers.

it is a consensus that the level of chinese football is low, but that does not mean there is no threshold.

as an individual, being able to play in the first team of the chinese super league means that one has already entered the top 500 football professionals. zhu baojie, who has played for many chinese super league teams, said that there were more than 400 children who received professional training at the shenhua football school with him, but only four of them eventually became professional players. for football school students, the probability of being able to play as a substitute in the china league two is 1/100[12].

in an industry with such a high elimination rate, if the upper limit of income for top talents is only equivalent to that of ordinary white-collar workers in the first-tier cities, their prospects can only be worse. the situation that netizens believe, "if you have the ability, go abroad to earn money like brazilian players, and if you don't play, someone else will naturally play for you," will not occur.

unlike africans and latin americans who play football to change their fate, and unlike europeans who play football to cross social classes, football in china is a sport with a very low return on investment.there are not only industry factors such as long training cycle, large initial investment, and low success rate, but also cultural factors such as "everything is inferior, only reading is superior" and social factors such as the one-child policy. if there is no high income as an attraction, no parents will send their children there.

cctv host he wei's old weibo

before the 1990s, being selected into the provincial sports team was equivalent to graduating from a technical secondary school, and one could receive subsidies, transfer one's household registration, and be guaranteed a job - if one could not make it to the bayi team, the army would provide employment; if one could not make it to the locomotive team, one could become a railway worker; if one could not make it to the vanguard team, one could work in the police; if one could not make it to the local team, one could work in a state-owned enterprise. rural families and low-income urban families were willing to send their children to sports schools because at that time, being on a professional team was equivalent to seeking a stable job.

but after the reform of state-owned enterprises and the expansion of university enrollment, on the one hand, the original ladder no longer exists, and on the other hand, there are plenty of opportunities to solve the problem of bread and milk in the market.for ordinary people, the best way to change their destiny in the past thirty years is to do the questions under the relatively fair college entrance examination model, rather than practicing sports.

someone once summarized the common characteristics of football talents and programmers in large companies in this way: they all have to have strong physical fitness, be hardworking, and be able to work 996; they all have to live a simple life, have pure habits, and live as if they were making 3,000 yuan a month; they all have to have a sense of teamwork and be willing to be a cog in the wheel; and they all have to eat their rice until they are 35 years old[13].

compared to 99% of football students who will eventually swallow the sunk cost of not being able to play professionally, high-quality talents enter the real estate, communications, and internet industries through the path of "enrollment-college entrance examination-university-work", with much less risk. moreover, writing code does not require the coach's promotion, favor, and opportunities, nor does it require the bottom line brought by the bad teammates on the field. even if you go bald at an early age, it is better than a broken leg, a torn achilles tendon, or meniscus effusion.

if the talent density of chinese football suddenly increases one day, it means either that the industry has become more transparent and more standardized, or that the growth dividend period of other industries is gone forever.

05. ending

there is a widely circulated saying: there is only one kind of fans in china, and that is the fans of the "winning team".

whether it is table tennis, diving or ice and snow events, as long as they can keep winning, everyone will support them. if they can't, they will recruit more middle-class people and naturalize more people. as for the development rules of sports, global popularity and the strength of opponents, they are all included in the category of "putting aside the facts".

on the yahoo japan forum, even japanese football fans could not stand the chinese netizens' mindless criticism of the chinese national football team. some said, "the media's focus on sea cucumbers is a big problem," some said, "in china, there are always strange and interesting ways to criticize football players," and others said, "if chinese football is always overshadowed by such insignificant reports, the real problems will be forgotten."

it is difficult to plant a towering tree, but it is relatively easy to paint a telephone pole green. if the pole does not bear fruit, it must be the fault of the painter.we excel at breaking new ground in everything we do, but there are always areas where you get what you sow.

spectator seats for the world cup qualifiers between china and south korea

in the round of 36 of the world cup qualifiers, after china lost 0:3 to south korea, a hot picture circulated on the internet: a child wearing glasses was doing homework with his back to the field. this scene fits the chinese people's attitude towards football, which is caught in a vicious cycle.the audience pretends to watch the game, the players pretend to play professionally, the investors pretend to run the club, the league pretends to carry out reforms, and the society pretends to carry out routine supervision.

when a thing is criticized by the whole society, and we know the root cause, but we just can't solve it, what other solutions can we have in the long run besides routinely "pretending"?

the full text is over, thank you for reading.
