Chinese football is facing an all-round gap in comparison with Asian football powerhouses. Li Bing said in an interview that the gap in Chinese football is not only reflected in the technical and tactical level, but also in the mentality of players, grassroots coaches and league level. In contrast, the poor performance of Chinese football can be described as a "regression", while other Asian powerhouses are constantly improving, which makes the gap wider.
The full range of disparities: The disparities in Chinese football are not only limited to the technical and tactical aspects of players, but also have a series of other problems. First of all, the mentality and aggressiveness of the players are insufficient, the desire to win and the focus on the game are lacking. This causes players to easily feel nervous and retreat in the face of difficult and strong opponents, and are afraid to try and take risks. Secondly, there are also problems with the level and teaching methods of grassroots coaches. In China's football training system, although there are some excellent grassroots coaches, the overall level is relatively low, and there is a lack of sufficient professional knowledge and experience. This has resulted in young players being limited in their training and development, unable to fully develop their potential and talents. In addition, the level of the Chinese league is not satisfactory. In recent years, the quality of the Chinese league has declined, and players lack the desire to play at a high level of competition, resulting in their inability to compete effectively with players at an international level.
In the interview, Li Bing talked about the problems faced by Chinese football in the era of "Jinyuan football". He believes that there are many problems in Chinese football during this period, the most important of which is the imbalance in the incentive mechanism and training of players. At this stage, many players are paid high salaries, but they do not reach the corresponding technical level, which leads to the inertia of the players and the lack of initiative. Moreover, compared with professional players, the salary difference of grassroots coaches is large, which leads to some players with average technical level choosing to become grassroots coaches after retirement, further exacerbating the imbalance in coaching level. These issues have all affected the development and competitiveness of young players.
Li Bing put forward some suggestions to improve the development of football in China. He believes that the training and teaching quality of grassroots coaches should be strengthened, and the training goal should be adjusted to cultivate more players with characteristics, rather than pursuing short-term results. In addition, he suggested sending young players to play in Europe to improve their competitiveness by playing at a higher level. In the process of youth training, foreign players can be introduced to participate in the China Youth Football League to provide young players with a higher level of competition opportunities.
Li Bing believes that Chinese football needs to cultivate more players with bloody and competitive spirit, because football is a sport that embodies the national spirit. He proposed to cultivate this kind of bloodiness in education and all aspects, so that Chinese players can remain calm and focused in the face of difficulties and strong opponents. In addition, he believes that the cohesion of the national team is crucial and that it is necessary to find a suitable coach who can understand the characteristics of the players and be able to integrate the characteristics of the players so that they can perform at a better level in the national team's competition.
Li Bing was surprised by the progress of the West Asian team, believing that they showed strong upward momentum in the Asian Cup. He observed that many teams had made progress by bringing in naturalized players, and that the quality of naturalized players was also high. Therefore, Li Bing suggested that Chinese football can learn from the practices of West Asian teams and improve the strength and competitiveness of the national team by introducing naturalized players.
Chinese football faces a gap in all aspects, including the gap in technology and tactics, the gap in player mentality, grassroots coaches and league level. The Golden Won football era created a problem of player inertia and lack of aggressiveness. In order to improve the development of Chinese football, it is necessary to strengthen grassroots training and youth competition, cultivate blood and improve cohesion, and follow the development trend of Asian football. In addition, the introduction of naturalized players is also one of the ways to improve the strength of the national team.
