Reborn on top of football

"The Top of Reborn Football"

There are many things to think about in this game. For example, Iraq is almost playing at home. Without any big star who can be compared with Wang Ai, it is obviously an "away game" like China, but it has won a quasi-home game. treatment.

If it weren't for Wang Ai, I'm afraid the Chinese team would have been booed.This kind of ability to turn an away game into a home game has always been the treatment of big-name players, and Iraq cannot do it just by relying on its tragic life experience.

For another example, how did Iraq reach the final?It is obvious that the strength is very average, and it cannot be explained only by good cooperation.

Since he couldn't sleep, Wang Ai simply sat on the sofa and looked at the night of Jakarta, which was row upon row, thinking slowly, which has become a special habit of Wang Ai.The straight-line rise of performance on the court and football achievements does not mean that the mind is also advancing in a straight line. Thinking and thinking again and again have helped Wang Ai become more mature, and it has also helped him make great strides forward.

After returning to China this time, the leader wanted to talk to him. What should he talk about?It was also at this late night that Wang Ai realized the significance of winning the Asian Cup to Chinese football.The self-innovation of a huge system requires both the promotion of internal forces and the leverage of external forces.For football, the championship of major international competitions is an obvious external variable, but it is not absolutely positive.

It has the potential to both drive greater progress and act as a barrier to progress.The key is for whom this external variable is used and for whom to testify.

With the improvement of his status, especially the number of deputy ministers of the youth department, which was originally named more than practical, Wang Ai's observation and understanding of Chinese football has become more and more profound.As early as 2001, after he won the World Junior Championship, the huge Chinese football system was touched. However, over the past few years, most of them have been minor revisions. The overall structure still has structural contradictions between the planned economy and the market economy.This contradiction is reflected not only in youth training, but also in women's football, as well as in the league and the national team.

Practitioners of Chinese football also know the existence of these problems and are also seeking changes, but their respective visions, knowledge structures and even subjective tendencies make them roughly divided into four propositions, and they have assembled four factions. The classifications are regression school, status quo school, European and American school, and characteristic school.

The regressive faction is mainly based on the reality of football players’ high income, low performance, and the deterioration of their spiritual will, as well as the fact that the whole country is still relatively poor. They believe that this round of professional reform should be ended, return to the era of sports schools, and continue to give full play to China’s human resources. Strong advantages, running football at a lower cost, strongly opposed to the extravagance and waste brought about by high income and high wages.Its supporters are mainly marginal players in football and some fans.

The status quo faction refers to the faction that is relatively satisfied with everything about Chinese football. They believe that judging from China's current national strength and conditions, Chinese football can develop to the present level, which is already quite good.Although there are problems in all aspects, it only needs to be repaired.This faction even used Wang Ai's series of views that "the level of national development affects the level of football" as evidence to oppose more vigorous reforms.The backbone of this faction is mainly the Football Association cadres.

The European and American school basically continued the reform concept formed at the Hongshankou Conference in 1992, and believed that it should continue to follow the direction of learning and emulating European and American football sports, completely smash the sports school system, the planned economic system, and completely marketize all aspects of Chinese football. .In the reform of some specific systems, it is advocated that the relevant systems in Europe, especially the five major leagues, be vigorously pushed forward. It is better to believe that "the future is bright" rather than temporary chaos.The backbone of this faction is the middle-aged and elderly cadres of the Football Association, offices, research institutes, sports universities, and even some public figures, social figures, and scholars that have nothing to do with football.

The special faction has the least number of people and the least influence. This faction advocates that Chinese football has its own cultural soil and sports soil, and has its own laws of operation. In the reform, we should actively explore innovative ways to combine advanced European and American experience with Chinese football soil.In system reform, it is necessary to learn, create, and constantly revise.This faction also believes that no matter what advanced experience, as long as it comes to China, it will gradually become "Chinese characteristics".So instead of passively adjusting and clumsy left and right, it is better to have expectations.The characteristic faction is not yet visible, and there are no representative figures. It is often a tendency shown by some football executives and leading figures like Wang Ai in a few words, and it is not yet popular.

The above four factions are only general classifications. In fact, there are more detailed controversies within each faction. For example, among the "return faction", there are retired old coaches who strongly miss the era of sports schools and advocate the end of professionalization of "sports schools". There is also a more harmonious "thrifty faction" who believes that the cost of football should be reduced.The European and American schools are divided into specific tendencies such as the German school, the British school, and the Spanish school.The status quo faction includes those who advocate maintaining the status quo and tend to be conservative, and those who advocate faster innovation and tend to gradually change.As for the characteristic faction, let alone the football system with Chinese characteristics?Are you talking about one, two, three?What kind of feature?Everyone who realizes that they should be unique has their own unique propositions, and the whole thing is a mess.

As for the four factions, some people moved with each other in different periods, and there were also phenomena of quarreling and cooperating with each other.But the attitudes of the retreatists and the status quo are relatively close, and they are "too lazy to move", so they jointly form the conservative force.Both the European and American school and the characteristic school are more radical, so they form the reform school.

The good results that Wang Ai has brought to Chinese football in recent years have also been used by the above-mentioned factions to varying degrees.For example, the regressive school denies the prospect of professional youth training by saying that Wang Ai did not come from the youth training of the club, and praises the superiority of the traditional sports school system with the rise of Bai Guanghai and others.The status quo faction uses Wang Ai's good grades in turn to prove the effectiveness of the current system.The European and American factions use Wang Ai to talk about things in the five major leagues, proving the success of European and American football methods, and the characteristic factions also refer to Wang Ai's particularity to varying degrees. For example, his scholar plus star status, isn't it a feature?

When Wang Ai returned from the World Cup last year, he had a dialogue with Bai Yansong on CCTV, and pointed out a crucial issue, that is, Chinese football is currently "big in head and small in body". The national team has achieved good results, but its foundation is not solid.After this view was published, it was unanimously recognized by people inside and outside the football world, and at the same time, the struggle between the above four factions suddenly became fierce.
