The national football team defeated Vietnam miserably, but the real reason behind it was not food. General Fan only dared to point it out in a vague way.

After the loss, Fan Zhiyi, a famous Chinese football player and the main player of the 2002 World Cup, immediately posted an article. He said at the beginning of the article:

"The more critical issue now is, we Can we re-establish the legacy of football, and can we allow others to step on our shoulders?"

This sentence is very vague, but it shows one thing, a considerable number of people within the national football team. , They train people with short-sighted and utilitarian purposes. They are only willing to quickly let the players they have spent money to train or have a good relationship with themselves play in the national team, but are not willing to take long-term considerations and cultivate outstanding talents for the entire national football team.

At the end of the article, Fan Zhiyi once again emphasized: "The most important thing is that Chinese football can never be divided into you, me, and him."

It can be seen that there are many factions within the national football team. To a very serious point. The players do not trust each other due to factional reasons, and the senior management is unwilling to recruit talented players from the other faction into the national team due to factional reasons.

To put it bluntly, the current national football team is just like the Kuomintang back then. During the internal struggle, it can be said that it has strong soldiers and strong horses. What about the Central Army, the Northwest Army, the Northeast Army, the Shanxi-Sui Army, the Guangxi Clan, the Yunnan Clan, and the Sichuan Clan? Each of them is a powerful force, but when they truly unite to fight foreign wars, whether it is against the powerful Japanese devils or against the growing Communist Party, they will collapse at the first touch and have no combat effectiveness at all.

In the first half of the top 12 matches, Li Tie repeatedly refused to start naturalized players and always sent them in in the second half when he was already lagging behind. It was too late. This operation aroused various speculations among fans at the time. Even the chairman of the Football Association came out to clarify that the official had never asked to limit the playing time of naturalized players. Since it is not an instruction from the top leadership, it is naturally a problem between the executive level and even the players. Sure enough, Li Xiaopeng started Alan and Luo Guofu in his first game, but they received little support from local players and were replaced after midfield.

All these signs indicate that as an industry insider, what Fan Zhiyi laments is all true.
