In recent years, the overall strength of Chinese football has experienced a significant decline, the competitiveness in the international arena has weakened, and the domestic league has also faced many challenges, which has aroused widespread attention and deep reflection from all walks of life. So, in such a predicament, how can Chinese football regroup and find a feasible path to rejuvenation?
The reasons for the decline in the strength of Chinese football are complex, including but not limited to the following aspects:
1. The youth training system is weakThe cultivation of youth football talents is the cornerstone of football development, and the long-term problems in youth football training in China are small scale, uneven quality, and insufficient teachers, resulting in limited growth of excellent football seedlings.
2. Infrastructure is lagging behindDespite the increase in investment in recent years, grassroots football venues and supporting facilities are still insufficient, especially in small and medium-sized cities and rural areas, where the lack of football fields limits the popularity and development of football.
3. The competition system is not perfectThe operation of the professional league is not yet mature, and the competition system changes frequently, which is not conducive to the long-term stable development of the team. At the same time, the construction of the national team is not clear and lacks long-term development planning, resulting in unstable performance in international competitions.
4. The management system is lagging behindIn the past, China's football management system had problems such as strong government-run color, low degree of marketization, and imperfect regulatory mechanism, which directly or indirectly affected the healthy development of the football industry.
5. Cultural and social environment: The society generally attaches insufficient importance to football culture, and the cultivation of fan groups and the dissemination of football culture need to be strengthened. In addition, the education of football players on professionalism and social responsibility needs to be further improved.
In the face of the above problems, if Chinese football wants to reverse the decline and embark on the road of rejuvenation, it can start from the following directions:
1. Reconstruct the youth training systemDrawing on the experience of developed countries, we will establish a comprehensive and systematic youth football training system, increase the training of grassroots coaches, and ensure that young people have sufficient and high-quality training resources.
2. Optimize infrastructureIncrease public financial investment, encourage the participation of social capital, speed up the construction of football stadiums and facilities, and pay special attention to the construction and maintenance of community football fields, so that football is within reach.
3. Improve the league systemReform and improve the professional league system to make it more market-oriented and professional, improve the quality and enjoyment of the game, and pay attention to the sustainable operation of the club and improve the hematopoietic function.
4. Institutional reform and supervision strengthened: Deepen the reform of the football field, realize the separation of management and management, establish and improve the industry self-discipline mechanism and supervision system, and severely crack down on bad practices and illegal behaviors in the football field.
5. Cultural cultivation and social participation: Vigorously promote football culture, create a good atmosphere for the whole society to pay attention to and support football, encourage schools, communities, enterprises and other multiple subjects to participate in football, and increase the football population base.
6. International cooperation and introduction to go outActively carry out international exchanges and cooperation, introduce advanced football concepts and management experience, and encourage Chinese players to play abroad, broaden their horizons and improve their actual combat level.
In short, the revival of Chinese football requires all-round, multi-level comprehensive governance and sustained efforts, and only through in-depth reform and pragmatic measures can the phoenix nirvana of Chinese football be realized, and it will be rejuvenated and vigorous.
