Will Gerdes’ naturalization as a Chinese citizen affect the level of Chinese football? The author feels that it will have an impact, but it will not fundamentally change the current situation of Chinese football.

Every sensible child must know the level of Chinese football. So why, as a huge country, can’t we find eleven outstanding football players? This illustrates a problem, that is, in the training of football players and the development of Chinese football, there is a problem in a certain link. As for where the problem is, there are many people who know football and many people who are in charge of football. Playing football There are more people, and they should be very clear as people in the circle, but unfortunately, even if there are many "understanding people", the level of Chinese football, or to be precise, the level of men's football is still unflattering, not just There has been progress, and there are even signs of regression.

Mentioning Chinese football is a heartbreaking thing. It has become the dream of several generations, and it also corresponds to the football joke: it is said that fans from China, Japan and South Korea knelt before God. , asked when they can win the World Cup, but the Chinese fans asked God directly and cried. God regretfully replied that he might not be able to see that day. Although this is just a joke, it reflects a problem, that is, the slow progress of Chinese football has caused many people to lose confidence in it.

Once upon a time, Chinese football had a certain advantage over West Asian teams, including the Japanese team in East Asia. At least we knew it and were not afraid of them. But now, Japanese football is advancing by leaps and bounds. , the number of their players playing overseas is the envy of our fans. Therefore, I hope that people in the football circle will use their brains more, do more practical things, find out the problem as soon as possible, and let Chinese football improve in essence.

Will naturalizing Guedes improve the level of Chinese football? In the short term, it will be improved. After all, there are only eleven people on the football field. The arrival of a high-level person can drive the attitude of others, and can also pass some good balls, which will change the situation on the field. situation. But from a long-term perspective, this is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst. It limits the playing opportunities of our outstanding local young players and does not bring much benefit to the development of football as a whole. From a certain perspective, it may be a side effect.

But no matter what, having a high-level person in a team can play a certain role in improving the team's morale and enhancing the team's confidence. Naturalized players are also a way to improve the level of football. Of course, this method is also temporary. In the long run, we still need to start from childhood and improve from the most basic level, so as to form a normal development echelon, with outstanding talents of all ages. As for the "broken strips" phenomenon, only our football level can be completely improved. This is a long-term solution.

In short, naturalizing players is a feasible solution at present, but it is not a long-term solution. The future of Chinese football must be placed on children, rather than relying on naturalized players.
