Wang Ai said with a smile: "I understand everyone's urgent feelings, in peacetime, football, the first sport, entrusts many Chinese people with the desire to strengthen the motherland.I am also willing to explain the issue of football in more detail with you, and I believe that Chinese fans, who have received a more scientific and conscientious education, can understand my words.A simple analogy is that if our 1.3 billion people all play football, then our Chinese football will not be able to enter the World Cup finals, and it is really our incompetence.The question is, the vast majority of our 1.3 billion people are cheering and shouting, and after watching the game, they should go to work, go to school, and how many of them actually go to play football?
In other words, the selection of materials for our Chinese football is not 1.3 billion, but a very small part. ”"How small?"
Wang Ai smiled: "Just do a little calculation."
We now have a three-level league system, 60 or 70 clubs, first-team, second-tier teams, youth teams, more than 100 people who are better, 50 or 60 people who are poor, and 70 people in the middle, and less than 5,000 professional players in the country.Our national team is selected from these 5,000 people.If you expand the scope to include teams in amateur leagues that are preparing to enter the professional league, some of whom have been trained by the club's youth team but have not made it to the first team, and how many have learned from football schools but have not had the opportunity to play in the professional league?
There were less than 5,000 people. ”"Less than 10,000?
That doesn't sound like an exaggeration, but what about schools?
”"In terms of schools and factories, assuming that every high school and university has a football team, and every large state-owned enterprise has a football team, then good, more than 30,000 high schools, less than 1,000 universities, and more than 1,000 large state-owned enterprises in the country, even if each has a football team, it is only twenty or thirty people, how much does it add up?
Less than 10 million people, pay attention, this 10 million people play football occasionally, play football for fun, spend the main time on study and work, and basically stop playing football when they go out of school.Most of them will become more professional fans in the future, but they can't compare to those of us who train all day. ”"Eh, Xiao Wang, I have something I'm curious about."
Bai Yansong suddenly interjected: "My colleagues and I usually play football, and there are many retired stars who play with us, they are very good and good, but I don't feel too bad." ”Wang Ai looked at Bai Yansong and smiled, and Bai Yansong, who was laughing, fidgeted: "Eh, Xiao Wang, you just tell the truth, it's okay, I'm such an adult, I won't be unbearable." ”"I have a friend who likes boxing, he always tells me, this Tyson is just like that, you see that after a few hits, he is tired and hugging people, I usually fight two or three hundred punches in one breath at home."
Wang Ai smiled: "Maybe many fans will also have this opinion, you see the technical actions that you Wang Ai will do, I can also do it, what pendulum is passing, the oxtail is passing, my Marseille slalom is more beautiful than Zidane!"
”Bai Yansong nodded frequently.Wang Ai laughed for a while before saying, "Do you know what we professional players generally say at this time?
We'll say, you're really good, it's pretty good, not much worse than us.Right, you've heard of it too, right?
”"But, we actually have something to be embarrassed to say, it's not good to discourage everyone's enthusiasm, after all, we all want to play more people, right?
What if you're scared away?
But you have to let me tell the truth......"
Bai Yansong wiped a cold sweat: "Dr.
Wang, please speak, I am ready to listen to the cruel truth." ”Wang Ai smiled and pondered the wording again before saying: "Internationally, professional players generally train for more than four hours a day, I mean a large amount of exercise, like our Chinese players, at least the national team is more than eight hours."
You don't think we're all about playing at the training ground, are you?
So there are some gaps that you can't see with your eyes alone.It's like a boxing champion, why do you get tired so quickly?
Just like us professional footballers, why are there so few exciting moves?
Because most of our physical energy is consumed on confrontations, physical confrontations, technical confrontations, such as collisions, such as dribbling and tackle confrontations.It's the same with the boxing king, every time he gets beaten, he has to consume physical energy, and he has to tense his muscles to withstand his opponent's heavy punches. ”"When I was a kid, I had a guy who played ball."
Wang Ai remembered Li Jun: "At the party last summer, he wanted to compare with me.Truth be told, his movements are beautiful and standard, but what is the result?
He swore never to play with me again, and scolded me for cheating and shamelessness.Why?
Because whenever he makes a beautiful move, I don't have to intercept him with complicated movements, I just need to lean on and he flies.Attention, I'm admittedly failing defensively, but even in front of me, no matter how beautiful his technique is, he can't use it.On the pitch, you can't stand in a stable position, you can't hold the ball, and all skills are in vain. ”"You mean Gao Feng, they didn't play with us at all, really?"
Wang Ai smiled: "You don't play football for the sake of winning or losing, why take it so seriously?"
Just be happy. ”"Okay Dr.
Wang, I may need to go home to heal my wounded heart.But the audience in front of the TV should have understood the current situation of Chinese football by now, the selection of materials is narrow, everyone is busy with work, and there is no time to play, so the good results of the national team do not mean that Chinese football is strong.So you have to be patient and don't have too high psychological expectations, right?
Okay, so let's take one last moment to care about some of the topics that are being talked about at this World Cup, right?
”"Okay, Uncle Bai, you say.""
Some people say that if Zheng Zhi didn't have that push move, we might have reached the semi-finals, and it was because of his impulsiveness that we stopped in the quarterfinals and lost the best historical opportunity, what do you think?
Some people also said that someone suppressed Luo Tongliang's long-range shooting talent. ”Wang Ai nodded: "Then, let me remind you that Zheng Zhi's action of pushing Xiao Xiaoluo later is actually only worth half a yellow card."
At that time, we had reached our limit, and even if Zheng Zhi didn't have problems here, there would be problems in other positions.Objectively speaking, our strength is the top 16 of the World Cup, lucky to meet Ecuador, lucky Ecuador did not play well, that's all.So I don't want everyone to criticize Zheng Zhi's action, what we want is to be really strong and not rely on luck, what we want is: to be able to tolerate mistakes and be strong, not to be weak without mistakes.As for Luo Tongliang, it was not who suppressed him, but that the defense was too tense, and he had no chance to rush out and shoot from a distance.If anyone had to suppress him, it was me, because he said he believed in my role in the front, so he had to defend with all his might. ”()
