1BSPORTS 1B Sports June 9th The national football team was determined to miss the US, Canada and Mexico World Cup after losing to Indonesia. The Football News wrote an article talking about how Chinese football faces the future. The article believes that the strength of the national football team is still in a downward trend, and the football revitalization project has just begun.
The national football team’s strength is still in a downward trend
After missing the 2026 World Cup, there are many analysiss about the head coach. Ivan does need to bear certain responsibilities, but the general view is that considering his strength, the hope of the national football team to enter the World Cup is actually slim, and there is a glimmer of hope in obtaining the playoff qualification, but it is by no means a high probability event.
At the end of the 2019 Asian Cup, we analyzed players of all ages in the national font and pointed out that the national football team will most likely be in a downward channel in the next 10 years, and it may take 10 to 15 years to stop falling and rebound. Theoretically, the next World Cup qualifiers should be dominated by players from ages 97 to 200. The cruel reality is that the national youth team of 200 and 2002 missed the finals of the Asian Youth Championship for two consecutive times, and the national youth team of 201 missed the finals of the Asian Youth Championship.
During this World Cup qualifier, the national football team is still in a downward channel in terms of strength, and theoretically, it is difficult to substantially improve its strength in the next session. This is an objective reality that must be faced.
The football revitalization project has just begun
Many fans may say that the summary draft of the Chinese national football team missing the World Cup 4 years ago, 8 years ago or 12 years ago, and the media will use it again this time. But in fact, the background is different every time. This World Cup qualifier was held against the backdrop of Chinese football’s anti-corruption, anti-gambling and comprehensive reconstruction. During the top 18 games, the national level also held a football revitalization meeting and took unprecedented measures.
The key to the problem is that sports, especially football, collective events such as up to 11 people playing, are characterized by a very long cycle. As for this national football team, in theory, players of the 95-age age group should play, but the youth training work of the 95-age age group started more than 20 years ago – the right and wrong success or failure of the youth training 20 years ago is now truly reflected at the national football team level.
The revitalization action of Chinese football has just begun. In the revitalization action of Chinese football, youth football is placed at the core position. However, the China Youth Championship that started in 2022 is only the fourth this year, and the professional club echelon league that will fully resume in 2023 is only the third year this year.
At the national team level, the direction is to refuse to bet a lot; the second is to strengthen management and play the upper limit level of the national football team as much as possible. At present, the entire national management system has gone fromThe plan will be comprehensively sorted out in the second half of the year, and the construction of national brands at all levels is also being promoted in an orderly manner. The performance of teams at all levels at the spiritual level is generally satisfactory, but this cannot solve the problem of absolute strength. In addition, whether the national font sizes at all levels can reach the upper limit is very important. This is related to tactics, lineup and on-the-spots, and this is exactly where in-depth summary is needed in this round of 18 matches.
You can’t make trouble, you must be more stable and persistent
Discussions on national font management, coach selection, tactics, etc. are necessary, but at the overall strategic or decision-making level, you must maintain sufficient rationality and patience.
One of the key points is that the national football team must avoid the phenomenon of seeking quick success and instant benefits when losing. This is the biggest problem and disadvantage in the development of Chinese football. It will be troublesome after almost every World Cup qualifier. Without making any trouble, we will make a comprehensive summary and sorting out so that we will not repeat the same mistakes in the next World Cup qualifier. This is a more rational and patient approach. For example, the summary of the job of selecting coaches includes the direction, standards and procedures for selecting coaches, and also whether the funds for selecting coaches are sufficient. A good coach naturally needs a high salary. This money cannot be saved. Such a summary is very necessary.
Of course, what is more important is to continue to adhere to the strategic direction of youth football as the core and continue to create a better environment for youth growth. What we really hope is that if we miss the World Cup this time, all Chinese footballers can still be down-to-earth and lay a solid foundation for the World Cup in the next 4, 8 or even 12 years.
It should also be noted that the situation has begun to improve: at the national team level, the mental outlook is no longer criticized by fans; the U22 national team has also performed well from last year to this year; although the 205 National Youth League missed the World Youth League, it is actually only one step away from advancing, and this layer of window paper is on the verge of breaking through; although the 2008 National Youth League also missed the World Youth League, the group opponent is the final championship and runner-up and only has a small loss of one goal, which is achieved when there are some problems with the team management; the 2009 National Youth League defeated Saudi Arabia and Australia in the four-National Tournament, especially Australia’s 5-2 victory. Although the team still has shortcomings, the improvement is very obvious.
So, the Chinese national football team has not collapsed this time, and there is no need to worry or make trouble. It is just to follow the established strategy, with youth as the core, strengthen national management, restore league health, and strengthen supervision. At the same time, strive for excellence and comprehensively improve decision-making and operational efficiency. There will naturally be hope if you persist.
