In two weeks' time, the round of 36 in Asia will start again.
This time, the focus is not only on the performance of the national football team, but also on the movements of the Japanese team.
Although the Japanese team is strong, it seems that they are not particularly serious about this World Preliminary Tournament, and it feels like they are playing a friendly match.
After all, they have entered the World Cup finals for 6 consecutive times, and they are used to it.
However, a turning point has come for the worse!
Zhang Aolin from China, a young and promising goalkeeper, actually joined the Japanese nationality!
Is it because you can't stand the "halo" of Chinese football?
Or do you want to change the environment and experience the hot spring football in Japan?
There's another story.
Zhang Aolin, a person whose name sounds like "Olympic", also has a heroic story.
He was born in Japan, like a native of Osaka.
Food, clothing, words and deeds are the same as the Japanese!
However, he is not a native of Japan, but a Chinese immigrant.
Growing up in Osaka, he played for the local youth soccer team.
In the last World Cup, the Japanese team performed well, which may also give Zhang Olin confidence and motivation.
In addition, now the quota for the World Cup has also been expanded, and the quota for the Asian zone has increased to 85 pcs.
This means that the Japanese team also has a better chance.
So, for Zhang Aolin, this is an excellent time.
He chose Japanese nationality, gave up his Chinese nationality, and also gave up the opportunity to play for the Chinese national team!
Fans of the Chinese national team were a little disappointed.
A young man who could have become the star of hope for the national football team, but chose to "defect".
But then again, he may not even be able to play in China, let alone the World Cup
Perhaps, he did see the pure land of Japanese football, after all, in Japan, he has a better chance to realize his dream.
And for Zhang Olin himself, this is also a huge challenge.
The goalkeeper position of the Japanese national team is not easy to mix, and the competition is extremely fierce.
It is not easy to be called up to the national team.
However, he has already taken his first step and become a Japanese citizen, and perhaps this is just the beginning of his journey.
As for Chinese fans, most of them still support Zhang Aolin's choice.
After all, football is a very realistic project, and whoever can give you a better chance of development is your choice!
Besides, the Japanese team has more chances to go to the World Cup, so why not?
In recent years, China's sports world has frequently ushered in foreign "reinforcements", in order to make up for the shortcomings of various projects.
Whether it is the "Snow Sister" Gu Ailing of the Winter Olympics, or the "naturalized army" of the national football team.
Bringing in foreign players has become a trend.
A young goalkeeper named Zhang Olin switched from Chinese nationality to Japanese nationality.
Chinese football has lost another potential international player, which is simply a "reduction of players".
At the same time, we also remembered another "traitor" in the table tennis world, Tomokazu Zhangmoto!
His parents are famous Chinese table tennis players, but in order to pursue better development, the family immigrated to Japan.
Zhang Benzhi and this brother and sister are well-known in the table tennis world.
But their growth path is not smooth, and their parents are a little bit of a seedling!
Zhang Benzhihe's parents, Zhang Yu and Zhang Ling, are both famous players in the Chinese table tennis world, and they were once brilliant.
However, they made a surprising decision to leave the national team behind and run to Japan.
Zhang Ling lost the World Table Tennis Championships in one day, and decided to pin his hopes on his children with palpitations.
Tomokazu Zhangmoto has received intensive training from his parents since he was two years old.
Eighteen kinds of martial arts are all on the rise, and only he can understand the hardships himself.
Under their leadership, Tomokazu Zhang and his sister sweat on the table tennis court every day.
And their parents are desperate to make them superstars in the table tennis world.
Do you think of them as cash cows that fall from the sky?
As time passed, Tomokazu Zhang gradually rose to prominence on the table tennis court.
Not to be outdone, their parents even gave up everything and chose Japan.
Just to give their children a better space for development.
In the world of table tennis, China's national table tennis has always been the unrivaled hegemon.
They pursue the traditional training model of seniority, and create batch after batch of champions.
In contrast, Japanese table tennis has adopted a "generational plan".
Pursuit of quick results This difference leads to a clear difference in the way you are trained!
Chinese national table tennis is more like a traditional family, attaching importance to the experience and accumulation of elders, and cultivating newcomers step by step.
Japanese table tennis, on the other hand, is like a businessman who is eager for quick success.
With only immediate interests in his eyes, he is eager to see the results as soon as possible.
Perhaps Zhang Benzhi and his parents saw the huge gap between the two.
I found that the training system of the Chinese team was not suitable for them, so I chose to immigrate to Japan!
In fact, in terms of newcomers, China's national table tennis is not without advantages at all!
They have countless excellent seedlings, but there are frequent cases where talents are bleak after entering the national team.
At the same time, those naturalized "overseas legions" are shining in various countries, and this uneven development is really regrettable!
The reason why Zhang Olin switched to Japan may be more because the strength and future of Chinese football are worrying, and I feel that there is no future at all!
Zhang Aolin's addition also disgraced the Chinese Football Association and the national football team, giving them a resounding slap in the face.
Who made Chinese football low and uncompetitive?
Such a tall man is very popular in Japan.
After a long experience, he finally stepped into the ranks of Gamba Osaka's first team and became the team's fourth goalkeeper.
Even though he was just a young backup goalkeeper.
However, his value has soared to 50,000 euros.
This is the dream he has been chasing for a long time, and it is also the beginning of his infinite possibilities in the future!
In fact, he is not the first Chinese football player to "change his nationality", Gao Sheng's son Gao Yuyang.
He also made a bold decision: he chose to change his nationality and devote himself to Japanese football.
This decision allowed him to become a Japanese citizen and join the ranks of the Japanese Under-22 team.
Perhaps this is why Gu Ailing chose to come to China for development.
Because in the single event, she can fight the world by herself and dominate.
We also have to think about the reasons behind this!
Why are more and more Chinese football players choosing to join the Japanese team?
Is it because the development of Japanese football is superior?
Or is it because they feel that there are more opportunities for growth in Japan?
This phenomenon may reflect some problems in the development of Chinese football.
It also makes people sigh that the road of Chinese football is still long and tortuous.
Recently, Chinese sports have suffered a series of setbacks, like a sudden thunderstorm, which caught people off guard.
From the women's football team in Australia's "madness".
to the men's football Chinese Super League team's "chicken feathers" in the AFC Champions League, and then to the track and field team's "haze" in the World Championships.
The entire Chinese sports world has been draped in a frost.
The only thing that can lift people's confidence a little bit is the small achievements of the Chinese women's football team and swimming team.
But overall, the performance of Chinese sports is still disappointing.
It's like a long-awaited movie, but it turns out to be unfinished.
The reason for all this may be nothing more than two things:
First, Chinese sports put all their expectations on the Hangzhou Asian Games and next year's Olympic Games.
As a result, it seems a little "lacking in charm" in other competitions.
Some athletes are even adjusting their condition and are about to play, but they are not ready yet.
In this way, how can it be brilliant?
Second, I can only say that I understand everything!
The performance of the national football team and the men's basketball team is simply laughable, and the national football team is plagued by the anti-corruption storm.
The players' minds may be more focused on how to "keep their position" than on winning glory for their country.
And although the men's basketball team has higher and higher salaries, life is becoming more and more comfortable.
But the goal pursued seems to have changed, and it is no longer for the sake of national honor.
On the contrary, it is like fulfilling the duty of "playing basketball", and the enthusiasm for training is greatly reduced!
Of course, the problems of the world of sport do not exist in isolation, they also reflect the current state of society as a whole.
The atmosphere of quick success and the pursuit of fame and fortune has spread to all walks of life like a plague!
It's like an unsightly "big drama".
Chinese football can be described as ups and downs, twists and turns, and unpredictable.
After the new leadership of the Chinese Football Association was elected, Chairman Song Kai made bold statements.
It is said that it is necessary to focus on the development of youth training and ensure the stability of the policy.
However, the men's football team led by Jankovic, whom he strongly supports, seems to be losing three or four, and losing does not lose.
At the beginning of the Chinese men's football world preliminaries, it was like a bamboo, and the first game against the Thai team ignited the hope of fans.
Although they were beaten hard by the South Korean team in the next game, at least they showed fighting spirit.
However, these are not enough to hide the embarrassment of the Chinese women's football team.
In the World Cup, they were ravaged by the European women's football team and lost convincingly, and the only gain was probably to increase the number of foreign players.
It seems that the Chinese women's football team has to work harder and stop becoming a "sparring partner" for the World Cup.
But there is good news, there is a glimmer of light at the youth and professional league levels of Chinese football.
The youth football league is getting bigger and bigger, and the popularity of campus football is also rising.
The popularity of the professional league should not be underestimated, and the home games of the major teams are hot.
The addition of Zhang Olin has given Chinese football a deep warning, and also made us aware of the current situation and predicament of Chinese football.
After all, the victory or defeat on the turf is not determined by nationality, but by strength and opportunity.
