Talk about women's football and men's football.

As we all know, the level of men's soccer in China is far behind. No matter in Asia or in the world, their best achievement is only the runner-up in the Asian Cup (the national football team here does not include clubs), the World Cup and the Olympic Games. They were severely attacked by others and were eliminated early, but their treatment can be said to be one of the best in the world today. On the other hand, women's football is several grades higher than men's football. It is the top eight in the Asian Cup, World Cup, runner-up, Olympic Games and third place. It can be said that China women's football team is the top football team in the world, but their salary is less than half that of men's football team. Men's football is worth millions and tens of millions, while women's football is only a few thousand dollars a month. Why on earth is this?

First, China men's soccer team started too late in the world, facing a greater competitive environment and more difficult to catch up with the gap; Women's football started relatively early, basically in sync with the world, even if there is no first-Mover advantage, at least it is not backward.

Secondly, women's football team lacks the foundation of marketization and professionalization in the world, but China can combine the professional training mode of the national system, while foreign countries are more amateur, and middle schools and universities combine physical education. The latter can obtain a broader talent base, but the former is more likely to rely on highly concentrated resources to achieve results in a short time.

Third, the market for men's soccer is so big that as long as you play poorly and pay great attention, someone will pay the bill. Unless they have a strong professional quality, it is difficult to have the motivation to squeeze their competitive ability to the limit. Relatively speaking, women's football has great pressure to survive and low income. This kind of environment filters out those unprofessional and incompetent players in advance. The rest can not only endure hardships, but also fight, and they have a special sense of honor. If they don't make achievements, who will? ?

Fourth, women's football has also declined in recent years, because the internal friction is too serious, limited to the development path, and the talent base is insufficient. To some extent, it violates the healthy development law of sports, ignores the market foundation and forcibly professionalizes, and also takes many detours. ?
