The problems were well known and this directly led to their loss against Vietnam. Former Manchester City player and outstanding performer Sun Jihai has been outspoken about the country's

The crux of the matter: out of a population of 1.4 billion, how many families teach their children to play soccer? Despite the large number of people who love soccer, very few are exposed to it from an early age, which is undoubtedly a fatal flaw.
Although they are well aware of the problem, they have failed to improve consistently. It is a cliché to say that good players cannot be developed overnight, but it does take time and effort, as well as an improved environment.
Our country made the mistake of investing in soccer from the very beginning, and while we were still trying to develop good players, we began to naturalize players on a large scale and incorporate them into the national team, building an "inverted pyramid".
It is said that our country envies South Korea for its many outstanding players, and that the two countries have significant differences in their soccer culture. Koreans not only love to watch soccer, but also love to participate in it. In recent years, the number of youth soccer clubs in Korea has surged, and adults also enjoy the fun of soccer, from which outstanding players are likely to emerge. Therefore, despite our large population base, Korea has an advantage in talent development.
Leading figures in Korean soccer know this and have passed on this training method overseas. Take the example of Park Hang-seo, head coach of the Vietnamese national team, who divided Vietnamese players into age groups and developed them into the backbone of the national team, and Shin Tae-yong, head coach of the Indonesian national team, who gradually promoted U19 players to the national team as the core of the team, and achieved notable results.
Of course, this approach may not be immediately effective, and it may also do the work of others. Despite the difficulties, this is undoubtedly the right path. With the Koreans leading the way, other Asian countries are gaining momentum. It is time for our country to learn from them.
