Why is China football so smelly? Is it because of technology or system?

Attach importance to first-team players and lack echelon mechanism.

Behind the hustle and bustle of China football national team and club team is silent youth football. Many officials and coaches who are engaged in the training of young football talents predict that the days of losing football in China are yet to come! They say it's not terrible that the China football team lost, but it lost today. What is terrible is that, based on the painful situation of China's youth football foundation shrinking year after year, China football may lose tomorrow.

"There is no youth football talent training plan in China so far." Chen Hong, executive deputy general manager of chongqing lifan Football Club, said, "If a new youth football talent training mechanism is not established, China football will never have a way out!" It is certainly alarmist to say that China football is "dead" now, but it is not a pessimistic judgment that the future of China football will become more and more difficult.

In fact, the fundamental problem of football in China is that football is only "popular" at the level of the national team or the first team of the club. "Hot" means being concerned, investing heavily, exciting and beautiful. However, under the background that the second, third and even grass-roots football is getting worse and worse because of being ignored, the popularity of the first team is like a palace built on the beach. No matter how much you invest, you can't escape the bad luck of low-level circulation.

Although the population base is large, football is sparsely populated.

"Why can't1/kloc-0 play football well out of1300 million people?" Whenever the China football team loses, fans always ask such questions. However, some officials and coaches engaged in youth football training say that this algorithm is wrong. We have to ask, how many football players are there in China1300 million population?

According to statistics, from 1990 to 1995, the number of young football players in China reached a record high, reaching 650,000. From 2000 to 2005, the number dropped to180,000, while there were only over 50,000 young football players registered with China Football Association.

In contrast, the population of neighboring Japan is only one tenth of that of China, but there are more than 600,000 young amateur football players registered.

Around 2000, football schools sprang up like mushrooms after rain. Nowadays, the shortage of students has become the biggest problem facing domestic football schools.

Ma Yuchang, who was the head coach of Chongqing Yuhai Football Club ten years ago, recalled: "At that time, it was planned to recruit 300 people for training during the summer vacation. As a result, more than 500 people signed up in one day. However, in 2005, the Chongqing Football Association recruited summer training courses and held three sessions, with more than 20 people in one session and at least a dozen people in one session. "

Going to the market completely, the training chain is broken.

Four years ago, Shanghai COSCO Club and Putuo Football Association, which threatened to build a "century-old club", set up a youth football training center. Four years later, COSCO Club has already changed hands, but what about this football training center? "Alas, all these children are' missing' and have been abolished ..." President Li Li of Putuo District Football School mentioned this matter, full of regret.

Under the original planned economy mode, the youth football training system is a linear training and selection system. Funded by the state, the preparation is determined, the coaches are selected first, and it is carried out in a purely planned organizational form.

After being introduced to the market, these were all disrupted.

Many domestic football clubs have unclear property rights and frequent changes in investors. They pay more attention to the short-term advertising benefits and pay less attention to the long-term development of the club. The development of football industry is immature, and the club's income and expenditure are unbalanced, so it is impossible to invest funds in the construction of youth echelon. And some clubs would rather spend a lot of money to buy "sky-high" players than invest in echelon construction.

The quality of material selection is limited, and it falls into a vicious circle.

Many domestic football schools still adopt the mode of separating from ordinary schools and concentrating on training. Chen Hong believes that many football schools are actually children beyond the control of parents, and they are not places to train talents at all.

"In the early days of football professionalization, some parents went to' fight' and spent money to let their children play football, hoping to cultivate a second Fan Zhiyi." Shen Lei said, "There are fewer and fewer such parents now, especially in big cities. Few parents are willing to let their children play football. "

"Now the quality of football talent selection is greatly reduced, and learning is not good. I gave up the college entrance examination and went to practice football. In this way, China football will fall into a vicious circle. " Yang Jianxin, deputy director of Shanghai Putuo District Sports Bureau, said.

Many officials and coaches in charge of youth football training said that from the current situation, "combining sports with education" is a good way. Xiao Qinglin, director of the Sports Art Department of Chongqing No.7 Middle School, stressed: "China youth football talents must not be people who can't read books before playing football!"

Cheating by hook or by crook is based on a lack of honesty.

Xiao Qinglin has more than 30 years of experience in cultivating young football talents, and has heard and witnessed many "strange things": "China Youth Team should be 199 1, but it has an absolute main force, and now it is 20 12 years old." Shen Lei said: "Fake age has become a' cancer' in the youth football match in China. This' cancer' is difficult to remove. "

Kui Li Rang said: "Nowadays, youth football training and competition are all eager for quick success, because good results determine the coach's salary, professional title, bonus and position ..." The huge interests behind tournaments and champions lead to unscrupulous fraud, which makes the original innocence and simplicity of youth football infected with undue falsehood and filth.

Xuan Gang, director of the Youth Training Department of the Shanghai Football Association, said: "In fact, the China Football Association hates the stubborn disease of false age in youth football matches, but it can't think of any particularly effective management methods. Nowadays, the method of measuring bone age is widely used to' fake', but measuring bone age is a means of selecting materials, not a method of measuring age, and the error is great. "

The pyramid foundation is not solid, so is the situation of women's football.

China youth football is in a hurry! China's young women's football team is in jeopardy! These are some depressing figures obtained by the reporter in the investigation: the number of female students in China football school has dropped from the highest 150 to 50; In Yangpu District, Shanghai, which has the reputation of "hometown of football", Baiyangdian Football Stadium can only recruit a few young women football players every year. Qianhui, the women's football coach of Putuo District Football School, said: "It is too difficult to mobilize a girl to play football now. In a vast country, there are only more than 2,000 women playing football, while there are millions in the United States. "

"Where is the next Sun Wen?" This question is too heavy for people to answer, including Sun Wen himself. "In the 1980s, there were many domestic women's football players. Almost all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in the country have women's football, and there are echelons below. " Sun Wen said. It was the good foundation of that era that made China the "golden generation" of women's football.

After 2000, China women's football team, like men's football team, has repeatedly disappointed Chinese people. The difference is that men's football makes fans angry, while women's football leaves more sadness.

The lack of "spirit" is one of the reasons why China women's football team lost, but the most important reason is that the foundation of China women's football pyramid is not solid. The key for China women's football team to regain its glory lies in the careful sowing of China Football Association. After all, it will take time for the "sonorous rose" to bloom again.
