After a warm-up match with the South African national team, the China men's soccer team finally started a new round of training this weekend after two months without a ball to play. For coach Gao Hongbo, who has been hoping to build the team through many trainings and competitions since he took office, such a "long" training interval has made him somewhat helpless. ...
The randomness and disorder of the national football training plan is just one of a series of "abnormal" phenomena in China football recently. As the Super League opened higher and went lower, the performance of AFC Champions League China team was weak, and the football youth training lacked follow-up. More and more people lost confidence in China football.
Open higher and walk lower-
False "Prosperity" of Super League
Inadvertently, the 20 10 Super League ushered in the eighth round on May 15. From the ranking and results alone, as of the seventh round, there was only four points difference between the top eight and two points difference between the top four. At this week's news briefing, the China Football Association gave a very positive evaluation of the performance of the previous stage of the Super League, saying that the attention of the Super League is constantly improving and it is "very dynamic", and the competition in the league is as fierce as last season. ...
However, four Super League teams, including the new Super League champion Beijing Guoan, lost in the AFC Champions League, which greatly reduced the "fierceness" of the Super League. In this season's AFC Champions League, six of the eight Japanese and Korean teams have broken through the group stage. In contrast, Beijing Guoan, the only Chinese Super League representative who made it through the group stage, was eliminated in the first round of the knockout round, leaving China Club with a humiliating record of winning eight games against South Korea this season!
Looking through the technical data of this season's Super League, we can easily find that the competition in the Super League is still at a low level. Take Zhong Jian, Shaanxi Province, which has gathered many old and new international players and is known as "Super League Real Madrid", as an example. In the seventh round, at home against Nanchang Bayi, none of the shots hit the goal range; This season, Shanghai Shenhua, led by the famous Croatian coach Blazevic, shouted to play "technical football", but the home game against Liaoning Hongyun turned into a "big mistake game" between the two teams-Shenhua made 24 mistakes in passing and catching the ball, and Hongyun succeeded only 27 times in 89 steals, with a success rate of only 30% ...
The most intuitive reflection of the stagnation of the game level is the decline of fans' attention. This season, the average attendance rate in the first round of the Super League was 22,654,38+0,000, which was the highest in the first round since the establishment of the Super League. However, from the second round, the attendance rate of the league dropped significantly, averaging only 1.72 million. In the seventh round, the attendance rate continued to decline, averaging only 1.38 million people per game.
It is difficult to improve the technical and tactical level in the league, but the club's quick success and impatience on the sidelines remain the same. Before the seventh round, Zhu, who was regarded as a meritorious coach last season, had already "finished class" in Shaanxi; After Zhu's lonely background, Tang Yaodong of Henan Jianye, Shen Xiangfu of Changchun Yatai, Pei Encai of Jiangsu Shuntian and Ali of Tianjin? Chinese and foreign coaches like Han are always in danger of "finishing class"!
In their own way—
The national team lacks planning.
On April 2 1 day, the national football training notice was released. Only one day later, the training notice was cancelled ... This "change" really made the national football players and media fans feel at a loss.
Although as early as the establishment of the new national team coaching team headed by Gao Hongbo, the China Football Association has repeatedly requested to unify the style of the national team and strengthen the planning and management of the national team, in practice, what China's national football team lacks most is scientific planning and effective management. Playing yourself is still a true portrayal of national teams at all levels.
Take the training and warm-up plan as an example. Most European and American teams and even Asian teams such as Japan and South Korea will basically finalize their training and warm-up plans for the new year at the end of the previous year or the beginning of the new year. For example, at the beginning of this year, the Japanese team formulated a series of training and warm-up matches around the World Cup, such as the Kirin Cup, the East Asian semi-finals, the Japan-Korea competition, and the European training ... And the Japanese national youth team and the national youth team also had corresponding training and competition arrangements, which basically ensured that national teams at all levels practiced or competed once a month.
On the other hand, China football, the national team's training plan is very chaotic. Take the Olympic team as an example. Although the Asian qualifiers for the 20 12 London Olympic Games will start in one year, the formation of the Olympic team has not been successfully completed. At the end of the training in Qingyuan, Guangdong Province at the beginning of the year, the Olympic team did not gather again until May after a heated debate about "Olympic Games playing the Super League". There are also coach Liu Chunming's favorite main players, and many people can't take part in training because the club won't let people go.
When it was warm at first, it was cold—
Youth training is weak.
On May 9th, when China's national youth team was drawn in Group A with Thailand, Syria and Saudi Arabia in the 2065438+U 19 Asian Youth Championship, the national youth team avoided the second-ranked Australian and Japanese teams and the third-ranked Iranian team. Su Du, director of the Foot Control Center and coach of the national youth team, breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Sue's task is not easy. She wants to lead the national youth team to reach the semi-finals in the Asian Youth Championship and qualify for the World Youth Championship next year. "The biggest problem now is that there are too few players to choose from." It is reported that at present, there are only 100 players of this age in China, of which only 57 can receive formal training in clubs such as Super League, China A and China B. ...
The same embarrassment also appeared in Olympic teams, junior teams and women's football teams at all levels.
According to the official statistics of China Football Association, during the period of 1990- 1995, the number of young people who participated in football training in China reached a record high of 650,000. In the following five years, this number decreased slightly, but it was as high as 6 10000. From 2000 to 2005, 6 1 10,000 people became 654,380+0.8 million people. At present, there are less than 30,000 young players registered in China Football Association, while only about 6,000 players are engaged in training and competition all the year round.
Although China Football Association launched the "Campus Football" program last year, and set up the Youth and Social Football Development Department in this year's organizational adjustment, and prepared to send some young players abroad for exchange and study, overall, the development of youth football is still relatively weak.
In this regard, China women's football coach Shang Ruihua, who has been trapped in talent shortage for nearly two years, said in an interview with the media that the current football in China is simply unsustainable. "China's current football is always centered on achievements, but it ignores the cultivation of reserve talents that affect the development of football. Whether it is the China women's football team or the China men's football team, the number of players has shown a sharp decline in recent years, and even school football is difficult to carry on. "
