"But in China, those companies are willing to invest in the Chinese Super League. What about the secondary leagues? What about the semi-professional leagues? What about the amateur leagues?"
"If the club itself cannot make a profit, there are only dozens of clubs that rely on blood transfusions from donors. How many people do they need? The football success rate is low and there are few jobs. How big of a heart do parents have to let their children go? Is this the way to become a professional player?"
Li Tiancheng smacked his lips: "In the final analysis, if you want to develop football, you must promote football culture, expand the fan base, and promote football economy."
"Yes, this is a basic rule. The economic foundation determines the superstructure," Sun Chenghai said: "But no one has done such basic work."
"It's okay not to do it. When professional leagues have the support of financial sponsors, let them develop healthily and slowly promote them. With the charm of football, the number of fans will always increase, and the normal income of the league will always come up. Sooner or later What's the result?"
"The result is just like you said, there are many shady operations represented by the suspension of the Chinese Super League. Not only can it not develop healthily, but it is also constantly being damaged. This is basically constantly destroying the inherently weak foundation of Chinese football."
Li Tiancheng unclenched and clenched his fists: "Why do you have to bet on the World Cup, the Olympics, or even the Asian Cup?"
Sun Chenghai sighed deeply: "Not only the Football Association, but also the broad masses of people who don't understand football at all only care about the results of the national team. Because of the super influence of football, the results of the national team represent their national self-esteem."
"No one cares about how the Chinese Super League is, what the foundation of football is, and how to develop football. All I want is that the results of the national team are satisfactory and don't hurt my self-esteem."
"So, many people are applauding the Football Association's actions that harm the foundation of Chinese football, because it seems to really help the national team's recent results, or punish players who have not performed well."
"Now that the local Asian Cup has not won the championship, at least there is a fig leaf for the Japanese team to score more handball goals than the score, otherwise, hey."
"The Asian Cup has brought the domestic enthusiasm for football to a new high. Unfortunately, after failing to win the championship, the enthusiasm has faded by half. Most people only care about victory, not how the league is developing, or whether the players are being owed wages. , of course, it doesn’t matter that the cafeterias of lower-level league clubs have no food, and everyone cooks noodles and eats them with soy sauce, nor does it care that these players have to work as security guards at night to make ends meet. Of course, the league has become a tool for the funders to exchange interests. When various black whistles about match-fixing come out, they care."
Sun Chenghai took a sip of water: "I've said so much nonsense, you can just listen to it."
"Is the environment so bad? No wonder Liu Chunming, the head coach of our national junior team, said he could only select players from 500 children of school age." Li Tiancheng frowned.
"It's really remarkable that a team selected from such a small number of people can achieve your results," Sun Chenghai nodded slightly: "Then again, how many of these people can become qualified professional players? Statistics from England There are 1.5 million children who have participated in youth training, and eventually 180 of them will play in the Premier League."
"So there is no hope for China's professional football?" Li Tiancheng looked pale and unwilling.
"Otherwise, many people still hope that football will return to the system, like an Olympic sport, and at least a certain amount of talent can be guaranteed. It is difficult to have a half-baked career now!" Sun Chenghai sighed again:
"It's a pity that it's impossible. The success rate of football is too low and it consumes too many resources. The cost of training a qualified player is enough to win several gold medals in other sports. It is impossible for the General Administration of Sports to choose this way."
At this point, both of them were speechless and speechless.
Sun Chenghai looked up and found Li Tiancheng staring at him: "What's wrong?"
"Brother Hai," Li Tiancheng rubbed the cup and looked directly into Sun Chenghai's eyes: "We have talked so much up and down, is there one thing we haven't mentioned yet, where are the players? What is the quality of the players who are the main assets of the league?
?”
"The players who grew up in the Workers' Sports Team have fairly solid basic skills, but the players who grew up in the Chinese Professional League are a little bit behind." Sun Chenghai noticed that Li Tiancheng's eyes opened wider as he talked, and he leaned back in his chair:
"Well, the overall style is not decent, the quality of the players is generally not high, and various unhealthy practices are relatively common, but don't generalize. Most people just follow the trend."
After Sun Chenghai finished speaking, he collapsed on the chair in frustration.
Li Tiancheng confirmed this situation that he had heard about for a long time, and he did not feel happy.
"It's impossible to rely on a few talents from the country if we are just wasting our time like this." Li Tiancheng murmured to himself.
"Not necessarily. Maybe how many talents can be produced by the so-called "Super Platinum Generation"?" Sun Chenghai began to refute.
"Bring it down, it's because the talents have come out early. Let's not talk about me, Cesc, Rooney, Ronaldinho, etc. After all, my career has just begun. I don't know what will happen in the future. Just look at those who are now in their prime.
The superstar is ready!"
Li Tiancheng retorted: "Raul was already the main forward of Real Madrid and the Spanish national team at the age of 17. Portugal, represented by Figo and Costa, was only a "golden generation" after winning the World Youth Championship. Del Piero was 20 years old
It can squeeze Baggio out of Juventus. Henry and Trezeguet also became the main force in Monaco at the age of 18. Owen, who just went to Real Madrid, although his character is not good, he was in the World Cup at the age of 18.
Become famous in one battle!”
Li Tiancheng took a breath: "How old are the "Super Platinum Generation"? What achievements have they made? They just played well in a few games and won a friendly match against Argentina, so they are called "Super Platinum"!"
"Perhaps there are some late bloomers?" Sun Chenghai's Qi was a little lacking.
"Don't lie to yourself. People who are late bloomers have trained hard on their own. They are all ruthless people. It is much harder than becoming famous as a teenager!" Li Tiancheng waved his hand: "It seems that you have to count on me to set an example.
, allowing children who are interested in football to go abroad for training!”
"Is your model good? If you arrived in Spain at such a young age, surrounded by strangers and didn't speak the same language, how much hardship would a little kid have to endure? Can you really become a talent in that kind of environment?"
"Besides, football youth training is also a kind of special education. You are an exception. At first, I doubted whether you were a banana. A child of seven or eight years old who goes abroad to receive foreign education for more than ten years is still Chinese.
What?"
"That's right, when China joins Di Yi, Di Yi will be Di Yi." Li Tiancheng's family knows their own family affairs. If he is really a normal child, he may not be able to maintain the thinking of a Chinese person. After all, he has received Western education since he was a child.
