In 2002, the Chinese men's football team made history by reaching the World Cup, which was the best result in their history. At the time, the team was hailed as the pinnacle and sparked a nationwide football boom. However, in the past two decades, Chinese football has been going downhill, and one generation is not as good as the next. So, why was the national football team able to stand out in Asian football in 02?Why can't the team regain its glory again?
1. The success factors of the national football team in 02.
Excellent coaching team.
In the journey to the 02 World Cup, the Chinese men's football team has a very good coaching team, led by Coach Milu. These coaches are not only very good in terms of technique and tactics, but also very important in terms of the mental quality and teamwork ability of the players. Their training methods are scientific and effective, allowing players to improve quickly in a short period of time.
The quality of the players is outstanding.
The strength of the players in the 02 national football team is very outstanding, and they have excellent technical and tactical literacy. Most of these players are from China's top leagues and have a lot of experience in the game. Their tacit cooperation and outstanding performance have made people see the hope of Chinese football.
A nationwide football boom.
Before the 2002 Asian Cup, Chinese football had been at a low point. However, the success of the Asian Cup has sparked a nationwide football craze. More and more people are paying attention to football, and more and more children are starting to play football. This craze has laid a solid foundation for the development of Chinese football.
Second, why is one generation inferior to the next?
The youth training system is not perfect.
There have always been many problems in the youth training system of Chinese football. Football schools and training institutions in many places do not focus on developing the technical and tactical literacy of players, but rather focus on results and money. As a result, a lot of potential players are not well developed and cannot reach their peak in adulthood.
The professional league is immature.
The immaturity of China's professional leagues is also one of the important reasons why the Chinese football generation is inferior to the next. Many clubs have problems such as chaotic management and insufficient funds, which cannot provide stable competition and development opportunities for players. In addition, the excessive number of foreign players in the league also limits the development space of local players.
Socio-environmental and cultural factors.
The development of football in China is also influenced by social environment and cultural factors. In many places, football is not a popular sport, and many parents prefer to let their children learn Xi culture rather than play football. In addition, there are also many undesirable phenomena in Chinese football, such as gambling, match-fixing, etc., which have caused great damage to the professional ethics and image of players.
3. How to regain the glory?
Strengthen the construction of the youth training system.
In order to reproduce the glory of Chinese football, it is necessary to strengthen the construction of a youth training system. It is necessary to establish a sound network of football schools and training institutions, pay attention to cultivating the technical and tactical literacy of players, and improve their overall quality and teamwork ability. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the care and management of young players and provide them with a better environment and opportunities for growth.
Promote the healthy development of professional leagues.
In order to promote the healthy development of professional leagues, it is necessary to strengthen the supervision and management of clubs, and improve their management level and financial strength. It is necessary to limit the number of foreign players and improve the competition opportunities and development space of local players. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the publicity and promotion of the league and increase the visibility and influence of the league.
Increase socio-cultural acceptance.
In order to improve the recognition of football in society and culture, it is necessary to strengthen the dissemination and promotion of football culture. It is necessary to publicize the positive energy and positive significance of football through various channels and forms, so that more people can understand and like football. At the same time, it is necessary to strengthen the crackdown on and management of undesirable phenomena in football and safeguard the fairness and purity of football.
