Recently, Li Xuan, director of "Football News", shared a conversation between Xu Genbao and his ** on social media, and the topic revolved around the current situation and future of Chinese football. Xu Genbao's remarks caused a lot of controversy, he advocated the style of "learning from Japan and South Korea to insist on rushing and pressing", and bluntly said that the cognitive level of Chinese football needs to be improved, which undoubtedly touched the sensitive nerves of Chinese football.
First of all, Xu Genbao's remarks pointed out a pain point in Chinese football - the level of cognition. Indeed, compared with countries such as Japan and South Korea, there is a big gap in our understanding and application of football tactics. But that doesn't mean we should blindly imitate Japanese and Korean styles. The charm of football lies in diversity, each country has its own characteristics and advantages, and the key lies in how to develop its own tactical system in combination with its own reality.
However, Xu Genbao's "".Relying on the old and selling the old".The attitude was criticized by some fans。Some fans pointed out that Xu Genbao's training methods may not have fully adapted to the development of modern football, resulting in the poor performance of the trained players in the tournament. This also reflects the inadequacy of China's football youth training system, and we lack a mature youth training system that can continue to output high-level players.
On the other hand, Xu Genbao mentioned Jiang Guangtai, Wei Shihao and other players, their performance in international competitions is really eye-catching. This shows that Chinese football is not completely short of talents, but the key issue is how to better cultivate and utilize these talents. We need players who dare to fight hard in the tournament and not have stage fright, not just technicallyRush to encircle".
Regarding the issue of youth training, Xu Genbao's remarks triggered more thinking. Spain and Germany, while doing well in the youth field, are also facing the problem of relying on foreign reinforcements. This shows that an excellent youth training system cannot completely solve all the problems of the national team. What Chinese football needs is an all-round improvement, including but not limited to youth training, tactical cognition, and player psychological construction.
Finally, Xu Genbao's remarks also touched on another sensitive issue in Chinese football - naturalization. The use of naturalized players has been a point of contention in Chinese football. Xu's views may reflect his concerns about the current state of football in China, but the pros and cons of naturalization require a more in-depth discussion.
Although Xu Genbao's remarks have caused controversy, they also reflect the general concerns of the Chinese football community. As an ordinary fan, I believe that the development of Chinese football needs to pay more attention to the improvement of comprehensive capabilities, including but not limited to technical, tactical, psychological and other aspects. Only in this way can we truly enhance the competitiveness of Chinese football and make Chinese football go further on the international stage.
