"The reality of Chinese football is that the head is big, the body is small, and the feet are thin, and when the wind blows, the whole body shakes around, which makes people worry about whether the head will fall off and whether it will break suddenly."
Wang Ai made a gesture and said: "It should be said that this problem has arisen since the results of our national team began to rise.People of insight also discovered and began to solve it very early.But it must be admitted that as a group of people at the top of Chinese football, our understanding actually has historical limitations.In the past, when we realized this problem at a certain point in time and tried our best to solve it, our vision, our thinking, and our methods were already trying our best and perfecting at that time, but now there are some things that need to be improved. ”"For example, I thought that youth events were the answer, and I believe there were many people who shared my views, and so we saw all kinds of football coming to school.I also thought it was because we didn't have enough infrastructure, that there was no room for fans and potential talent to train and play, and that there were a lot of free stadiums across the country. ”Wang Ai didn't mean to boast, and after a pause, he continued: "Looking at it today, these measures have some effect, whether urgent or slow, but they are not the most fundamental. ”"I used to have a judgment, and of course I insist on it today, that is, the level of national economic development determines the level and height of football, the world's biggest sport, and the sport that opponents are trying their best to engage in.Why did Chinese football once lead Japan and then be overtaken by Japan?
The reason why the J-League is now very high is that Japan is a developed country, and the time and money that people can devote to sports surpasses that of Japan not only in absolute numbers, but also in proportion.Think about it, is this the case in all countries with strong football?
”Wang Ai saw many people nodding: "But now, we in China are gradually entering the middle and high income level, and some regions have already entered first, which determines that some of our regions have the foundation for breeding high-level leagues and high-level football."
As a result, the time has come to solve the most fundamental problem, which is the theme of today's meeting, the cultivation of football culture. ”"Culture, as the saying goes, is that you can't afford to play without money.But football is a foreign sport in the final analysis, and it fits very well with the situation in Europe, mainly in Northern Europe.For example, the annual growth period of plants in Northern Europe is short, and there are many low and dense turf in the wild that do not need to be trimmed, which is suitable for playing football, but in China?
And that's just one example.This shows that for football to truly take root in China, it is inseparable from the localization of football by the leaders here. ”"Due to the existence of various platforms, there is not much room for changing the rules of football competition, and we people can like to show that the rules are more acceptable and do not need to be changed.The direction that needs and can be worked on is football culture, because we can all notice that in fact, at the grassroots level of Chinese society, the proportion of people who actually play football is very low, and the proportion of those who have football at home, who have been to large stadiums, and who have collected jerseys, shoes, and star cards is also very low, which shows that our Chinese football is not firmly rooted and has not really been integrated into the lives of the people.The attitude of the largest number of Chinese fans towards football is actually a kind of patriotic enthusiasm for the national team, and football has not become something they can't live without, but a habit of life. ”Wang Ai said a long paragraph and adjusted it for a few seconds: "And without this thing, the foundation of football can't be talked about, of course, our country has a lot of people, even if the proportion is low, it is still easy to make up a national team, but the level, scale, influence, and feedback can't be talked about." ”"A report on Manchester City's football culture system, as well as some of my observations from Deportivo La Coruna, Inter Milan, Chelsea, Bayern Munich."
Ten minutes later, Wang Ai put down the manuscript paper, unscrewed a bottle of mineral water and drank a few sips, and the people on and off the stage were involuntarily driven to drink water."
The purpose of reading these two reports is to provide you with an idea of how football is integrated with the soil at the most micro level.In fact, any foreign gadget is also rustic in their own homes. ”Wang Ai joked: "But I hope you don't follow some of the paradigms presented in my report, this is just to provide you with a perspective and an idea."
For example, British fans like to drink beer and eat fried fish while watching football at home, while we Chinese fans like to drink and eat skewers at the same time.If you only learn to grill fish, and come up with something like 'exclusive grilled fish for watching football', 'standard beer for watching football' or something, you will learn crookedly, Chinese fans don't like to eat, and this reform will not be able to land, I hope you will learn the commonality of 'eating', and then fill it with appropriate food in combination with the characteristics of various places.In addition to eating, such as fan publications or something, we don't need to learn their distribution methods, their layout design or anything, what we have to learn is to create a publication that is liked by fans, to publish the team's internal news, lace news publications, with a certain collection value.As for how to do it, everyone will explore it separately from practice. ”At this point in the speech, Wang Ai is ready to conclude: "Football with a very wide audience base will definitely have different temperaments due to the different histories, cultures and customs of each country.The fact that some parts of our country have entered the middle and high income level determines that our people have the ability to devote themselves to football and other sports and cultural activities, and at the same time, China's football industry has also progressed to a historical period where it is necessary to strengthen and expand the football foundation.The combination of the three, the importance of football culture work is becoming increasingly prominent, with culture, there is football life, there is football habits, there is a steady stream of power.Whether this force flows into professional teams, amateur teams or fan teams, it is the development of Chinese football. ”Speaking of this, Wang Ai put down the manuscript and faced the audience: "Chinese football is a part of Chinese sports, and our mission is to strengthen the people's self-confidence, and the second is to strengthen the people's physical fitness.The former focuses on the national teams at all levels and the various club teams at the head to be responsible, while the latter can be guided by football culture.And the two are mutually reinforcing, fans are in good health, high ball skills, will give birth to better foundation of young players, and finally push up to the head league and the national team, so that our international players ......"
Wang Ai said this pursed his lips: "There is no need to leave home for better training and better service for the country." ”"Local football culture, local football league, this is a healthy and stable path to success that no one can take."
