The Asian Cup is over, and our Chinese men's football team finished in 18th place, which has made many fans have mixed feelings. With no goals and no group progression, it was really the last result we wanted to face in almost 40 years. But defeat on the football field is not the end, but a new beginning. During the Spring Festival, our players returned to Chongming Island in Shanghai and had a profound exchange with their mentor Xu Genbao. Xu Genbao's questioning is not only a spur to the players, but also a reflection on the entire Chinese football.
It is worth mentioning thatGao HongboThe new identity - the technical director of Shanghai Chongming Island, this news has caused a lot of shock in the football circle. Gao Hongbo's "return" is not only a new starting point for his career, but also a strong support for the Chinese football youth training system. Youth training has always been a criticized shortcoming in the development of Chinese football, and the addition of Gao Hongbo will undoubtedly inject new vitality into our youth training system.
In the face of the failure of the Asian Cup, the Football Association has started the process of changing the coach, and the selection of foreign coaches has become a big suspense. But whether it is to choose a foreign coach or a temporary local coach,The key lies in the renewal of the concept and the intensity of implementation。If Chinese football wants to really rise, it depends not only on a coach or a few stars, but also on the innovation of the entire system and the efforts of every football person.
Gao Hongbo's refusal to return to the Football Association this time and his choice to become the technical director of youth training actually gave us a lot of inspiration. Success is not only the glamour of walking on the professional stage, but also the sweat paid silently behind the scenes. His choice may let more people see the hope of Chinese football.
The current Chinese football is indeed at a low point, but it is precisely because of the low point that we can cherish the process of climbing. The importance of youth training, the renewal of concepts, and the establishment of systemsAll of these are the cornerstones of our success. Gao Hongbo's joining and Xu Genbao's questioning are all telling us: football, we can fly higher!
The spring of Chinese football is not far away, and every defeat is for better flight. As ordinary fans, we should give more support and understanding at this time. Change doesn't happen overnight, but as long as it's in the right direction, hard work will pay off. Let's look forward to a more brilliant tomorrow for Chinese football.
