During Wang Ai's brief return to China, he once met with Mai Chao, and at that time he sternly told Mai Chao his judgment of this year's competitions, don't be blinded by the good results of the past few years, Chinese football is not in the upward channel, but is still in an unstoppable decline.In this context, any good results are vain and unfounded.Wang Ai took himself as an example, among his peers, especially the children in the city, almost none of them played football, not to mention those who played football, even engaged in sports.The physical education mechanism in various places is half-crippled, and the selection of materials has shrunk sharply.At the same time that the "theory of the uselessness of reading" has been refuted, the "theory of the omnipotence of reading" has actually appeared, which makes intellectual education completely beyond the scope of "morality, intelligence, physical fitness, aesthetics, and labor" and become a monopoly.Investing in education for all people is a true portrayal of Chinese society at the beginning of the new century.Therefore, Ding Junhui's success will even be discussed as "correct", because he just graduated from primary school and has not even completed nine years of compulsory education.At this stage, Chinese society still has some ethics, and it has not yet reached the mercenary stage of not asking about the means, but only about the results, and has not yet reached the era when "Ma Dad" and "national husband" are popular.In other words, at the beginning of the new century, there was still persistence and innocence in the hearts of the Chinese.Wang Ai and Mai Chao said that at present, the selection of football talents can only be selected from rural children, and the selection of materials has been reduced by more than half.The weakening of this foundation will determine the performance of Chinese football in the next ten years or even longer, and the pressure is extremely high.We must not be blindly optimistic, otherwise the morale of Chinese society will be hung too high, and once there is a problem, the players, coaches, the Football Association and even Yan Shiduo will pay a heavy price for it.After thinking about it for a few days, Mai Chao specifically reported Wang Ai's warning to Yan Shiduo.At the same time, similar warnings have also been transmitted to the Chinese Football Association from a famous football legend, and there are always sober people, not only Wang Ai.For example, Gao Fengwen asked someone to give Yan Shiduo a message: "My football school can't be run anymore, there are too few children here, too few interested children, too few willing parents, and this trend has lasted for five or six years."
Specifically, the post-80s generation is not as hard-working and has few choices as its predecessors, and their generation has begun to pay less attention to and invest in football. ”The warning messages were endless, and Yan Shiduo was naturally worried.As the de facto top leader of Chinese football, everything in football is directly related to him.In the past two years, Chinese football has achieved good results, and he is also proud, leaders meet, social praise, etc., but if the results are suddenly poor, or as Wang Ai said, "back to the original shape", then how much he enjoyed at the beginning, how much he will have to "compensate" in the future, especially when he is still sitting in this position, but he never dares to fall into such a situation, a goal in the competition, a red and yellow card will make his heart beat."
I think he's serious."
Mai Chao said in a low voice: "Vice Chairman Yan, you and he knew him earlier than me and him.Although Xiao Wang's temper is not very good, he never fires empty cannons.He was probably aware of the danger. ”So, what do we do?
Where does the danger come from?
If it's a problem of the overall environment, Wheat, you are now also a cadre of the Football Association, an assistant coach of the national team, and today there are only two of us, I tell you the truth, with me or the Football Association, there is no good way, at most we are working hard to promote, promote, and support the development of youth football, such as the Fool's Cup, but it will not be effective in the short term. ”Yan Shiduo shook his head and sighed: "What I want to know now is how to maintain the situation of Chinese football today, even if it is not improved, it is good to maintain the status quo, and no matter what, we have to get through this low tide period."
Wheat, don't think it's all about me, the quality of the grades does have a lot to do with me, but it's not all I say.The pursuit of results is not only my political achievement, but also the need of Chinese football.As you said, what if there are fewer and fewer children playing football?
If the results are good, can you still pull it?
Fans praise, don't scold, and have a good social evaluation, can it be relieved a little?
When the foundation is strong, you need good grades, and when the foundation is poor, you need good grades, don't you say?
”Mai Chao nodded: "After I met him, after thinking about it seriously in the past few days, I think he has two intentions, one is to hope that we will find a way to cool down the society and fans, lower expectations, and give us some room to maneuver."
Now some media have openly shouted 'Asian champions, it is inevitable', in fact, which is so easy.Not to mention that we didn't qualify for the World Cup, we ranked behind Japan and South Korea, and it was the National Olympic team under the guidance of Shen, and there was also an element of chance when it won the runner-up gold medal.And the habit of our Chinese team is that the older they are, the worse their results will be. ”Yan Shiduo nodded silently, he had already recognized this argument or phenomenon by Wang Ai's many expressions."
Second, I think he should want us to be strict with the national teams."
When Mai Chao said this, he suddenly stopped talking.Yan Shiduo waited for a while, turned his head to look, and then smiled: "Wheat, it can come out of your mouth and enter my ears." ”Mai Chao swallowed his saliva, looked back and said in a low voice: "When I met Xiao Wang, he mentioned that the national team has achieved good results in recent years, and the national team list is more valuable, there will definitely be many people interfering, and some people will want to take this ride."
Once you enter the national team, and then have good results, the change in a player's income is too great, if you are lucky enough to score a goal in the competition, the RMB here is calculated in millions.But in this way, the quality of the national team is bound to decrease, and at the same time, it is difficult to ensure the unity of the team.Some people with backgrounds dare to bully those who have no background, and those who have no background look down on them by virtue of their abilities.We are a weak team, the players are not the best, and we are not united, how can we play. ”Yan Shiduo lowered his head, walked for a while, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath, the thick smoke lingering on his face, shrouding the flickering cigarette butts.A few minutes later, Yan Shiduo dropped the cigarette butt and patted Mai Chao on the shoulder: "Wheat, thank you for being honest with me, I understand what you mean."
You can rest assured, I will personally grasp the list of this year's national youth, national Olympics, and national team.Let's go, it's late at night, and my driver has been waiting for me for a long time. ”The two separated, and when Yan Shiduo got into the car, he suddenly called out to Mai Chao: "Wheat, convey a word to Xiao Wang for me, I hope he will protect his body, and all echelons need him to play a leading role."
He is the leader of our Chinese Football Overseas Corps, and he and his friends are the biggest and strongest factions in each echelon, as long as he is stable and sees it, I can put half of my heart at ease.I don't have anything else, but I can call the shots and give him a veto.No matter what happens, I am his backer. ”Mai Chao was amazed in his heart, his face was not revealed, and he stood in front of the car and waved his hand frequently."
Oh yes, there's one more sentence."
Yan Shiduo showed a smiling face: "Tell him that his New Year's card, the motherland has received it, Chinese football and I have also received it, thank him." ”()
