Chinanews client, Beijing, July 28 (Wang Sishuo) The feeling of a few days was not good. The Super League was postponed for 237 days and finally came back. The threat of the epidemic has not yet been lifted, and even facing cold eyes and ridicule, Chinese football has finally returned to the way it was when it was running.

  Not long ago, the CEO of a well-known domestic company used a short description of precise guidance and hit the face of Chinese football, which was calmly waiting for the restart. It was a lot of fun to watch the excitement at that time. Nobody was hired or provoked. Chinese football was really unlucky.

  The defensive line that the CEO tore off this time eventually fell on the players' running. Specifically, some domestic players can't even compare to the students of Tsinghua University in a 3,000-meter run in 12 minutes. Professional players eat this bowl of rice, and if the level of business is so bad, it's okay.

  The CEO's remarks quickly set off a debate on the Internet. Anyway, there is no judge. After all, they are in different positions, and they have different starting points. For a time, the fighting was fierce, but it was difficult for the people eating melons to distinguish the situation on the court.

  The biggest feature of Internet hotspots is that they come like wind and rain and go like dust. In a few days, the day lily was cold, and everyone was busy. No one picked up this "leftover" to eat. What Chinese football is busy with is this long-prepared Chinese Super League season.

  Speaking of the restart of the Super League, the setbacks experienced are not few. The epidemic is fierce, and the competition system must be changed, and the needs of 16 teams must be taken into account. There are too many issues to consider. Before the opening game, Dalian's new crown epidemic, one of the two major competitions, has repeated itself. Even so, the Super League came as scheduled.

  Without the home fans, the atmosphere of the game is a little weaker, but it is also enough to make Chinese football grateful. More importantly, after a long wait to find value, the players finally started to run on the court again. On the evening of the 27th, the last game of the first round ended, announcing that each Super League team had completed their new season appearance. Even though there was no official game for more than half a year, the word excitement was almost written on the court when he came up.

On the 25th, the 2020 Chinese Football Association Super League (Suzhou Division) kicked off the opening match. In the end, Wuhan Zall defeated Qingdao Huanghai Qinggang 2-0. Affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the league currently adopts a centralized game system and empty games.

  The running Chinese football should really be seen by more people. Society is developing, and so is the football environment.

  Chinese football hasn't left a good reputation in the "shops", and he can't be Wu Xia Amon for three days. But things that can't be changed in three days, give them three or thirty years, and they will always have a chance to achieve it.

  The most important thing in the sports world is statistics. If the running distance is compared separately, the official database of the Chinese Super League shows that among all the 16 teams last season, only Guangzhou R&F had an average running distance of slightly less than 100,000 meters per game, and all the other teams exceeded this value. Wuhan Zall, who was "best able to run", under the leadership of the then coach Li Tie, handed over a total running distance of 3143.8 kilometers in a single season.

  In another piece of data, on the personal list last season, the Super League showed a list of the 30 people with the longest running distance, including 18 domestic players, accounting for 60%.

  One more thing to note is that the Chinese Super League gives the players on the court and in the game data. Returning to the off-court training, the players' efforts may increase exponentially.

  Running for 10 kilometers in 90 minutes or finishing 3000 meters in 12 minutes, which of the two brings more fatigue to the body, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom. But at least, the Chinese players are not slacking in running. Time has passed and the results of Chinese football are not satisfactory, but their running forward attitude has never been a game.

  Women's football star Sun Wen has already embarked on a management position in the Football Association. In the previous turmoil, her speech appeared restrained and professional: "Please don’t worry about the false proposition of 3000 meters in 12 minutes. It is only a measurement of cardiopulmonary function. Football requires repeated sprints from the physical requirements. Time recovery, combined with coordination skills such as deceleration, acceleration, and change of direction. It is said that being able to run does not mean being able to run. Pre-judgement and decision-making, combined with the ball, is another professional field that needs to be studied deeply."

  Sun Wen’s message is very clear: Football is not a race, at least it is not a long-distance race than a constant speed, but if you have a certain endurance, you can still control the technical movements of your feet and your body balance under the condition of variable speed running or even full speed sprinting. Running 3000 meters for 12 minutes does not mean that you have the qualifications to become a professional athlete. If you can't run, the door of the professional team will not be completely closed to you.

  The data will not lie. Last season's "King of Running" Zall team failed to enter the championship. On the contrary, Guangzhou Evergrande, who was sixth in running distance, won the championship as expected. In fact, in the three seasons since the data was entered into the league’s official database, the champion team has never entered the pre-season 5 in running distance. However, Yanbian Fude, who ran the most in the 2017 season (the team ran an average of 110,000 meters per game in the season), finally could not escape the fate of relegation.

  The Chinese Super League, which has returned, is still proceeding in an orderly manner at its own pace. Chinese football will not stop because of more doubts. As long as you are still running on the field, there will be no shortage of cold eyes and ridicule, but in contrast, there will always be someone who will not compromise. (Finish)
