Chinanews.com client, Beijing, March 20 (Reporter Wang Sishuo) In the coming of winter and spring, Chinese football is going through another slightly quiet offseason.

The new season of the Chinese Super League is approaching, and the national team, which has been away from the international arena for a long time, is about to prepare for the four games after the top forty games.

At this moment, people may have their own expectations and doubts in their hearts.

On the evening of the 19th, Bai Yansong asked the Chinese Football Association Chairman Chen Xuyuan continuously on the live broadcast on behalf of the fans, and the latter’s response reflected the current appearance of Chinese football.

　　In the past week, Fan Zhiyi complained about Chinese basketball in a variety show. Chen Xuyuan talked about his views on this matter.

"I think Chinese football has received a lot of criticism from all walks of life in recent years. The reason is that Chinese football is relatively backward, and it will be beaten if it falls behind. So I think the most important thing is that we do our own affairs well, if we can make more progress and I hope to bring it to the common people. I believe they will definitely give more positive comments. The key is to be yourself."

　　In previous years, the start of the Chinese Super League season was around March, and the opening match time set for the beginning of this year was set on April 20. Regarding the upcoming Chinese Super League season, Chen Xuyuan mentioned that a series of preparatory work was very cumbersome. Because the goal of this year's Football Association is to play all games in the Super League, China League One or China League Two. This also means that the Super League this season will play 30 rounds instead of last season's game system.

On February 28, the Jiangsu team official issued the "Announcement on the suspension of operations of the teams affiliated to Jiangsu Football Club".

　　In response to the cruel current situation of the disbandment of the defending Chinese Super League champion Jiangsu Suning, Chen Xuyuan also expressed his attitude.

He revealed that the Chinese Football Association has already seen the various problems of the club, and has also fully communicated in advance.

However, the Suning team has already issued an announcement to stop operations, and it is more difficult to meet the admission requirements. It is also rumored that the Tianjin team, which cannot join the Super League in the new season, has encountered some difficulties.

　　In addition, he also said: “From the perspective of club investment, it should be thought that football itself is a social welfare product. Investors should still consider the social responsibility and social image issues behind investing in football. We hope that this kind of thing will not happen as much as possible in the future. ...For football investment, unlike corporate investment in projects, the commercial purpose is certainly not the most important one. If every club adheres to this philosophy, I believe that temporary operating difficulties will not become a fundamental problem."

　　Under Bai Yansong's sharp questioning, Chen Xuyuan also made his own response regarding the rename of some clubs, especially the Shanghai Haigang team, which he had served for a long time.

"Frankly speaking, it has been nearly two years since I left SIPG. Of course, I have feelings for SIPG, but I don't even ask about their club work." As far as he is concerned, he is not in favor of the "former club". The new name, "Actually I think there can be a better cultural name, but the committee passed it, and I have no opinion."

　　In addition, he also said that National Security will retain it to a large extent.

"Beijing Guoan's original CITIC Guoan shares are likely to be acquired by Zhonghe. After the acquisition, the two parties have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Therefore, according to the league regulations, Guoan is likely to continue to use this name.

　　Some netizens asked Chen Xuyuan which match the national football team made him most angry with.

In this regard, Chen Xuyuan bluntly said that it was the tie with the Philippines last year.

In fact, the draw on October 15, 2019 was already what happened the year before.

At that time, the Chinese men's football team went to the top forty matches, tying the Philippines and then losing to Syria. The promotion situation in the top twelve match took a sharp turn. In contrast, the away game that was tied by the Philippines made Chen Xuyuan the chairman most angry. That was also the first draw with the Philippines in the history of the national football team.

In the top 40 World Preliminaries on the evening of October 15, 2019, Beijing time, the national football team tied the Philippines 0:0 away, and the 8-game winning streak with the opponent was ended.

　　Regarding the issue of league expansion, Chen Xuyuan also made a positive answer.

"We originally planned to expand the Super League to 18 teams by 2023, the Chinese A to 20, and the Chinese B to 32 teams. Of course, the entire army expansion will be decided according to the development of football. The professional league preparation team is in communication with the Football Association to prepare for the league. In the process, I hope to prepare for the expansion of the army this year.” When talking about the long-awaited but delayed professional alliance, Chen Xuyuan issued a “military order” in front of the camera, “It must be completed this year.”

　　"Are there any problems with referees in our professional leagues? What is the problem?" When Bai Yansong continued to raise sensitive refereeing questions, Chen Xuyuan did not evade the important, but frankly pointed out the loopholes in the existing league whistleblowing he had seen.

"Our professional league, the entire referee team, and Chinese football have many shortcomings. Last year the referee paid a lot to complete the league, but there are also some problems, mainly in three aspects."

　　"First, the professional level of our referees is poor, many of which are due to inadequate professional standards, not for other reasons; second, we do have bad habits in the refereeing session, such as circle and mountain culture, which will also affect the referee's enforcement. Punishment; the third one cannot be said to be completely free from the fake gambling crimes we have fought against in the past.” Chen Xuyuan said.

　　For the upcoming Men's Football Finals 40, Chairman Chen appears very determined.

"This top forty match is an exam for Chinese football. We must pass the exam. My point is that we must be able to beat these opponents. As long as we prepare for the game and adjust our mentality in place, we can win. The next game. In the next Forty Finals, we are fully confident to do a good job of preparing for the game and hand in satisfactory answers."

　　"I worked in the Football Association for nearly two years and 46 years in a company. To tell a joke, I used to scold others, and no one called me. I have worked in the Football Association for more than a year. I have been hesitated and hesitated, but I am now Very strong, I think I have to go on and take this responsibility." Chen Xuyuan also humorously confided at the end of the interview.

"I regretted it once, but not anymore."

　　In the final quick question and answer session, Chen Xuyuan talked about his proud skills, "It is considered good among 65-year-old amateurs." When asked why he was still doing such a difficult job at the age of 64. , His response was loud and loud-"I think it is for the social responsibility that I pursue, and I hope to do something for football."

　　It has only been a year and a half since Chen Xuyuan took the position of the Chinese football navigator. People have seen his courage and determination to reform, but they have not yet looked forward to the buds that will grow on this barren soil.

To be impatient, no one can rush him.

The next 40 men's football matches, the women's Olympic preliminaries, and the restart of the Chinese Super League, are full of trials and hopes.

Hopefully, the vision in Chairman Chen's heart can be fulfilled one by one in the next few years. After all, all fans want to see it earlier and the dream will be reflected in reality.
