Chinese National Football Team’s Crushing Defeat: A Wake-Up Call

The Chinese national football⁤ team’s 0-7 loss to Japan ‌in the World Cup Asian qualifiers round of‌ 18 was a shocking and disappointing result. The ⁤team’s performance was a⁤ far cry‌ from what was expected, and the defeat has sparked a mixture of emotions,‍ including shock, disappointment, ⁤frustration, and anger.

The question on ⁣everyone’s mind is:⁢ what should the Chinese national football team do next? Should they disband the team‍ or let the players receive severe punishment? However, football is‌ a professional ⁢sport, and the national team is a temporary training team ‍that will be ‌disbanded after the first two World Cup qualifiers.⁤ Moreover, playing bad football and‌ match-fixing are two different things, and there is no‍ need to ⁣be overly critical.

The Chinese national team is at least ‌two levels behind the Japanese team⁢ in⁣ terms of game rhythm, game reading, and⁢ technical‍ application. The players’ lack of experience playing in top leagues like the⁤ Premier League is a ​significant disadvantage.⁢ The team’s coach, Ivan, also ⁢bears some responsibility for the defeat, as he was not ​as⁢ well-prepared as his Japanese counterpart,⁣ Moriyasu.

The players ⁤and Ivan ‍must take responsibility for⁣ the defeat, but it is also important to recognize that ​Chinese football is paying off the ⁢debts of⁣ the past years. The team’s performance is a result of a lack of ⁢football⁤ tradition and culture in China. According to FIFA, the factors‌ that determine‍ the level of football are not ⁤money or population, but football tradition and culture.

Chinese football needs talented people ‍to​ have a bright future.‌ However, the country’s football tradition is not deep, and it is not feasible to follow the wild growth path⁣ of ⁤Argentina and ⁣Brazil. ⁣Chinese⁤ football is still “illiterate” and has not established a complete framework ‌system and philosophical​ theory.

It is ​easy for people to be led astray by emotional things, ⁣but football is ruthless, scientific, and‌ rigorous. Before discussing football, it is essential to understand what football is. Training players takes time, about ten ⁤years for a player to ‍become a master. It took ⁤Belgium, France, Germany, and Spain about ten years to accomplish great things in football.

Therefore, it is‍ crucial to be patient and⁣ not rush the process. Let’s talk about Chinese football ‌in ten years and see how far the‌ team has come.
