As for the Football Association, there are indeed some problems, but just changing the Football Association will not fundamentally solve the problem.
More importantly, children with football talents can truly embark on a career path and bring hope to families out of poverty through football.
The current situation is regrettable, because only those with sufficient financial strength can have access to football training and competitions.
Xiao Yu shared with Chairman Li his true experience of trial training in the island city of Fenghai. He did not exaggerate or embellish, but told it truthfully.
Xiao Yu recalled the anti-corruption process in football in his previous life. Those who were once prominent, such as Chen Xuyuan, Du Zhaocai, etc., it was their hidden corruption that caused the entire football world to fall into a money-first atmosphere, and their achievements were ignored. .
This common concept permeates the entire football world from top to bottom.
Chairman Li asked Xiao Yu frankly if there was any way to change this situation.
Xiao Yu also expressed his thoughts: Reform is a complex and systematic process that requires reform from multiple aspects such as system, management, and operations:
First, improve football industry policies: formulate policies that are conducive to the development of the football industry, including financial support, tax incentives, talent training and other policies.
The purpose of these policies is to provide a good development environment for the football industry and promote the prosperity and development of the football industry.
Second, strengthen the construction of professional clubs: strengthen the construction and management of professional clubs and improve the level of professional leagues. This can be achieved by introducing high-level foreign players and coaches, cultivating local players and improving coaching standards. At the same time, it is necessary to standardize the management of professional leagues and ensure the fairness and justice of the competition.
Third, improve the level of youth football: strengthen the training and education of youth football, and improve the physical fitness and technical level of young people. This can be achieved by establishing a complete youth training system, improving the level of coaches and promoting campus football.
Fourth, promote the construction of football culture: promote football culture and create a strong football atmosphere by holding various forms of football games, exhibitions, cultural exchanges and other activities.
Fifth, strengthen international cooperation and exchanges: Actively carry out international cooperation and exchanges, learn from the experiences and lessons of football development in other countries and regions, and promote the development of Chinese football.
After hearing this, Chairman Li frowned slightly and said, "Xiaoyu, what you said is too general. Is there a more concrete way? I am a layman and would like to hear more of your good ideas."
Xiao Yu also sighed secretly in his heart. It seemed that Chairman Li didn't understand. As soon as he heard it, he knew that the suggestions he just said did not have practical plans and were still difficult to implement.
"Grandpa Li, what I am going to say may affect the interests of many people, and this matter may not be easy to handle."
Xiao Yu also said tentatively.
"Anyway, I want to see who is taking advantage of football in this land of China."
Chairman Li said with still a smile.
After receiving the chairman's confirmation, Xiao Yu continued: "First of all, we still need to restructure the Football Association. Implement the separation of management and management:
First, the Football Association is separated from the State Sports General Administration, but it is still subject to the supervision and reporting of the State Sports General Administration. The General Administration of Sports and the Football Association are not involved in personnel and event management.
Second, the Football Association is responsible for formulating domestic competition rules and supervising the competition; for example: the selection threshold for national team members can be divided into physical fitness test results, participation results, and coach ratings; in addition, the Football Association needs to protect the interests of players, such as Clubs that are in arrears with wages will lose their qualifications for the league and be relegated to the next league.
Third, the league is handed over to the event company to operate, with multiple companies running for election, and the operating company will be re-bid after a certain period of time.
The fourth and most important point is to vigorously support the development of campus football and set up leagues in the Football Association system such as primary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and universities; campus football can participate in professional leagues as long as they have excellent results. For example, the first team of Beijing Institute of Technology plays in the professional league, and the second team plays in the professional league. The team participates in the college league.
Fifth, administrative means will never be allowed to interfere with the operation of football matches, and judicial institutions will be included in the supervision and review of the overall league.
That's all I can think of for now. "
"Very good, Xiao Yu, what you said is quite good. Xiao Qi, have you recorded everything?"
There was a hint of indifference in Chairman Li's voice.
"Yes, Chairman."
Secretary Xiao Qi replied concisely.
"Xiaoyu, do you have any suggestions for our national football team to change the coach now?"
Chairman Li asked the question to Xiao Yu.
"The current high-level coach is very suitable. He knows our domestic situation very well. And with our current player situation, even if we invite a world-class coach, it will be a drop in the bucket and it will be difficult to have much effect."
Xiao Yu expressed his opinion without hesitation. He kept thinking about the video of Fan Zhiyi in his previous life: "Xiao Gao did a good job, why should we replace him? It's just nonsense."
"Phew!" Chairman Li took a deep breath and then asked: "Is domestic football already this bad?"
"Well! If we can start to restructure the youth training and football association now, maybe in the next ten years, we will experience a trough period. However, once we get through this trough, our strength may be promote."
Xiao Yu's words were like a bomb, which made the calm Chairman Li's heart skip a beat.
"Ten years from now?"
Chairman Li frowned, obviously not satisfied with the answer.
He pondered for a moment, and then continued to ask: "Aren't our current results at the lowest point?"
"No!" Xiao Yu shook his head firmly: "Even if we start youth training now, we may still face a gap of about ten years of players. You may not know that there is a rumor in China of retiring at the age of 12. Many children in interest classes He has shown amazing talent when playing football, but parents are unwilling to bet on that one-in-a-billion chance, preferring to send their children to cram schools and take cultural courses. As I said before, if I am not lucky enough If I go to the Netherlands, I may also need to go back to school to continue my studies and then work in a factory driving screws.”
"I understand that this is a limitation of the general environment, and parents will inevitably have this kind of worry."
Chairman Li began to speak seriously: "So, according to your point of view, if you can join the national team, is it possible for us to compete in the World Cup?"
"I can't give a clear answer to this question. Even if I'm in the national football team, I can't guarantee our results. You know, the competition in world football is very fierce, even in Asian regions where football is weak. There are also countries like Japan, South Korea, and Iran. With strong teams like Australia, they are the top teams in Asia and are very powerful. Although our national football team works hard, it is a bit wishful thinking to compete with these strong teams under the current circumstances." Xiao Yu paused, He swallowed and continued: "Moreover, the World Cup quota in Asia is limited, only 5.5. This means that even if we barely squeeze into the second tier, it is still a huge challenge to successfully qualify and participate in the World Cup. Therefore, I cannot give you a definite answer. I can only say that the possibility of the national football team qualifying for the World Cup exists, but we still need to put in more efforts and sweat to achieve this goal."
Chairman Li also pointed lightly, and Secretary Xiao Qi handed Xiao Yu a glass of water.
