In the past ten days, several labels such as "Chinese players are not as good as Tsinghua boys" and "Chinese football is not as good as Chinese education" have made Chinese football in the offseason once again "break the circle" and forced to be under the spotlight. To accept the "consultation" of all parties in turn.
From the beginning, the US team boss Wang Xing Tucao said that Chinese football players were not as good as the Tsinghua University boys in 12 minutes, and Wang Xiaodong of the North University "off", jokingly said that the national football "even if they return to the World Cup championship, the contribution is not as good as Peking University Tsinghua. The eye-catching remarks outside the stadium made the slightly silent football world affected by the epidemic “lively and extraordinary”.

There is a saying: all the world's hustle and bustle are profitable, and all the world is profitable.
In the battle of lip battle, some people charged into the battlefield and made a lot of eyeballs with small football; some people slammed Fang Qi and used ideas to turn weapons into an attempt to "cut" the other party; others from "social contributions" "Talking eloquently, pulling Chinese education as a shield, even universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University have not been spared.
But when the two warring parties have halted their flags and the officials have dispersed, what is the "benefit" of this confrontation for Chinese football?
In this protracted online match, the Chinese football team also ushered in many memorable moments: the Spanish who played for "The Hope of the Whole Village" Wu Lei was relegated, and Chinese football may return to the top five leagues next season. The embarrassing situation of "no ball to watch";
Seven days ago, it was the 21st anniversary of the Chinese women's football team won the World Cup runner-up. It was originally thought that at the turn of the century, Chinese football will make successive breakthroughs in the men's and women's football fields, which will become the starting point into the golden era, but the helplessness and tears later can only make people sigh, "Time will never return, and the past can only be remembered." .

May wish to expand the horizon to the status quo of Chinese football.
The "Chinese Football Mid- and Long-Term Development Plan (2016-2050)" clearly pointed out that Chinese football has "lagging development concepts and insufficient understanding of football values and development laws", "weak football foundation, lack of talents, and insufficient facilities to meet society. "The growing demand for football" and other issues.
The 14 teams that participated in the professional league last season collectively "dead" in the offseason and failed to survive the "cold winter". According to the statistics of the 2017 Chinese Football Association report, the total number of professional and amateur players who were active in all ages, official events, and signed professional contracts or training agreements during the year was 84422.
If Chinese football consumes the public's support and confidence in the team after repeated defeats, the unreasonable and unobjective controversies and arguments derived from the Internet are probably more like a sharp knife. It is already fragile and faltering Chinese football.
Li Weifeng's speech was more calm.
Li Weifeng, who has always been hot on the court, played the role of peacemaker in this debate, "This is a painful and happy sport. When we do not do well, we don’t have to argue or go. Quarrel, we still have to be quiet to make it better and make the industry stronger. This is what we should do."
This is probably one of the few voices in the tit-for-tat confrontation.
Regrettably, whether it's confined to the physical fitness test of athletes, or putting Chinese education and Chinese football on the opposite side, in the past few days, the arguments of this debate have become more and more radical, and the more vociferous the more rude. Regardless of whether they can win or lose, even if they have the upper hand, I am afraid they will not become a nutrient for the development of Chinese football.
"Rushing out of Asia and heading to the world" is more and more like an empty talk, entering the World Cup time and time again has become a brain-burning math problem, from eager to try to sigh. Witnessing the Japanese and South Korean teams in the world arena, players in the five major leagues shine, but we seem to be able to miss the opportunity for development again and again in self-satisfaction.

Even so, Chinese football should not be a dumping ground for venting negative emotions, anyone can dump "garbage" at will, and then carry the banner of "Dish is the original sin" and go away. But such scenes are not uncommon on the way forward of Chinese football. This quarrel is not the first time, nor will it be the last.
Chinese football should not only have "fake concern, true vomiting".
On July 14, Chen Xuyuan, chairman of the Chinese Football Association, pointed out in his research: Youth training is the cornerstone and future of Chinese football. Focusing on the future of Chinese football, Chinese football must grasp the construction of national teams at all levels and the cultivation of youth football training on both sides. Both hands must be hard. This is the unshakeable bottom line of Chinese football and must go all out.

"Action is above everything else, and hard work is better than empty talk." If you want to completely get rid of the shackles of poor records and change the stereotype of Chinese football, it is by no means a few words. Blind controversy will not give birth to a winner, but will only leave more and more questions and problems.
In the new season of the Chinese Super League, after finalizing the period, from the Football Association to the division, teams and players, all entered the final sprint preparations. A few days later, the Super League starts, the national football team will also embark on the journey to compete for World Cup places. In the not-too-distant future, I look forward to the fans' influx into the arena again, and let the familiar cheering sound through the sky.
When football returns, please let the quarrel stop.
