On the 8th, the Chinese Football Association posted an announcement on the official website of the "Chinese Football Association Youth Training Program (Draft for Comment)".
The "Outline" is very long, but the observant fat friends still keenly captured some of the interesting places.
For example, this "official version" of the "list of advantages and disadvantages" of Chinese football players.
On November 14, 2019, in the World Preliminary Asian Top 40, the national football team lost 1:2 away to Syria. The opponent scored the first goal in the game. After that, Wu Lei volleyed a shot to equalize the score. Zhang Linpeng accidentally got himself behind, causing the national football team to fall behind again. .

Later, I will talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Chinese players. We also have an "official complaint" version... Suddenly, Xiaoxin felt that his waist was a lot harder.

In all fairness, this 86-page outline for soliciting comments is quite rich in content and full of dry goods. It fits the status quo. It covers the vision and goals of Chinese football youth training, youth training concepts, practical teaching, women’s football youth training, Research on the status quo of Chinese players' ability.
In every major aspect, there are very detailed content.
It can be seen that this draft is indeed made with great effort.
In fact, a single analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of Chinese players is not “lack of self-knowledge”. It can even be said that self-cognition is quite accurate. However, Xiaoxin thinks of more than ten years of “heart and tears” of watching football. Still feel there is something to say.
Summary of the advantages of Chinese players in the draft outline
After reading the above advantages, do you feel a little weird?
There are naturally many netizens with similar feelings, and they also appeared on the Internet "stage" for the first time.
Of course, verbal abuse is inevitable. After all, Chinese football, which is scolded for winning games, is not normal if not scolded.

Under the iron law of "dishes is the original sin" competitive sports, Chinese football has indeed become an excellent target for some "keyboard men" to carve.
Speaking of this, we interrupted an advertisement "Total War: Sportsman vs. Keyboard Man", which was pushed yesterday, to experience the "magic power" of keyboard man in sports circles.
Closer to home, given that there are as many as 49 pros and cons, we might as well pick some representative ones.
The first advantage is very straightforward: "High proficiency in applying technology without confrontation or weak confrontation."
To be honest, this advantage, how it looks like a disadvantage...

However, this is indeed a major problem for Chinese players.
The most striking example is that whenever a foreign coach takes office in a club, some players who look good on the training field are usually placed in the starting lineup through training.
The ending is often beyond his "anticipation."
After all, the game makes its appearance...
In fact, this is deceived by the fact that "high proficiency in applying technology without confrontation or weak confrontation" in normal training, and some world-famous coaches have not been "excluded".
Often such players have good bodies, strong enthusiasm and strong execution, but in a more complex game environment, these are all in vain.
Frankly speaking, there is still not enough practical training in the youth training stage, and we always carry out static passing and coordination in situ. Without accumulating enough passing training in sports battles, naturally they can't perform well in the competition.
This is also one of the reasons why some players play abnormally in the competition.
For example, the following mistakes occur↓↓↓
The "unbelievable" own goal of the Chinese Olympic team in the warm-up match
Wow, I really don’t know what to say!
Then count back [embarrassed but polite laugh.jpg].
The second "technical style is diverse and has certain characteristics", it does exist objectively.
This is due to China's vast territory. Players in each region have different characteristics. For example, the southern players have more delicate skills and flexibility, and the northern players have stronger physical fitness and tough style.
This also corresponds to the next advantage: "The players have distinctive physical characteristics and a wide selection of talents."
As for the merit of "the spirit of bearing hardships and stand hard work", there is no surprise that it has caused controversy.
But are Chinese players really not worthy of such a "spiritual civilization award"?
Objectively speaking, it may not be true!
In fact, there are not many international football players with strong mental attributes. For example, in the 1/8 final of the AFC Champions League last season, Shanghai SIPG player Yu Hai suffered a head injury in a fight. After a simple bandage, he chose to fight with the injury, and then contributed one. Assists.
After the game, Yu Hai went to the hospital for the first time and had 4 stitches on his head.

The same was true for Wu Lei during the Asian Cup last year. He played a key game against Thailand with a shoulder injury and scored a goal to help the national football team advance to the top 8.
Then he resolutely stepped out of the comfort zone of the domestic league and went to the more competitive La Liga. These are all manifestations of the hard-working spirit.
As for the "short pass accuracy is higher", emmmm, sorry, I'm so upset... Based on many years of field experience, "I can do it!"
The draft outline summarizes the disadvantages of Chinese players
Speaking of advantages, let's look at the disadvantages of the national football team.
At first glance, these shortcomings seem more "pleasing to the eye".
For example, "it is easy to give up when encountering an unfavorable situation". This was demonstrated during the National Youth Asian preliminaries. In the final match of the group stage and South Korea, the National Youth team once evened the score in the second half, but unfortunately, the defense made mistakes later. Let the opponent lead again.
In the last 20 minutes, the mentality of the national youth players completely collapsed. First they received a red card and played with one less player. Then they lost 2 goals in a row and missed the Asian Youth Championship in 26 years.
In addition, the disadvantage of "lack of healthy and kind interpersonal communication" is very eye-catching. From Sun Shilin's thumbs up to Pato who missed a penalty in the league, to Wei Shihao's malicious foul in the China Cup last year that caused serious injury to his opponent. , Gave the opponent a wheelchair after the game...So far, the slots are still full.
The incidents of Zhang Xiuwei, Zhang Lu drunk driving, and Yu Hanchao smearing motor vehicle license plates also fully demonstrated the disadvantage of a general lack of responsibility.
Yu Hanchao altered the number plate of the motor vehicle and was expelled from Guangzhou Evergrande.
It is these disadvantages in all aspects that have caused the gradual distance between Chinese football and the World Cup, and even the tragic defeat of the National Football, National Olympics and National Youth League within a week.
When the gap between our players and the players of Japan and South Korea is getting wider and the level of football in Vietnam and Thailand has gradually approached that of Chinese football, the importance of youth training has become more and more prominent.
The Chinese Football Association and various domestic football clubs, including campus football, have also continued to make efforts in youth training in recent years.
The release of the draft outline for soliciting comments is an important milestone.
I only hope that this outline will be truly implemented after it is officially passed, and it will be consistently instilled into the blood of Chinese football.
When cultivating players in the future, they can give early guidance, bring the existing advantages into play, and change the existing shortcomings.
More importantly, be patient.
There are already many lessons that Chinese football has experienced, and I hope this is a good start, rather than another "fuzzy tossing" in the memory of a few years later.
