With the Top 40 in the books, freshly returned from Spain, marquee player

The performance was eye-catching and made a splash on the field, establishing a monumental feat for the national team. After the match.

I was so impressed that I finally realized the mystery of the strength of Japanese and South Korean soccer. He firmly believes that if half of our national players can choose to stay abroad, the national team's performance will usher in a qualitative leap.
with regards to

It's not surprising that he feels this way, as he has experienced the gap between Chinese and Western soccer first hand. We also look forward to having more people like

Players like that fight for their country.
Shortly after the conclusion of the 40-team tournament, perhaps influenced by the

inspired by the Football Association's announcement that it will restart its stay-at-home program. A

Obviously not enough, the Football Association plans to vigorously promote more players out of the country in the next two years.
However, the exact manner in which this program will be implemented is unclear and its effects are difficult to predict. Perhaps there will be more than

Better players, or they may have invested heavily in futility.
Football Association is eager to change the status quo mood can be understood, but do not be quick success. Change the status quo of the national football team is not only by sending a few players to study abroad can be realized, this approach is no different from the foreign affairs movement of the late Qing Dynasty, are treating the symptoms but not the root cause. We see that Japan and South Korea have a lot of players playing in Europe, it is these players to enhance the level of national soccer. But how did these players go to Europe? Do they rely on official promotion as we do?
We cannot just see a caterpillar and think that it is about to turn into a butterfly. To understand the gap between our country and Japan and South Korea in terms of soccer, we should not only look at Europe, but also Japan and South Korea to see how many soccer pitches they have and how many football-loving children they have. In contrast to us, large shopping malls are more luxurious than one another, more magnificent than one another, but we cannot find a piece of land to build a soccer field.
Can any of my colleagues find 5 soccer fields where you can play for free in the city where you live? Please let me know, I'm moving and must be very happy to live in such a city.
In addition, we are not short of players returning from abroad, such as Zhang Xunzhe and Zhang Yuning. But why is the level of the national soccer team still like this? This shows that relying only on external forces to promote individual players to stay abroad is not a feasible way. We should let more children participate in soccer, from quantitative change to qualitative change, to discover talented players, without the need to promote, will naturally attract the attention of European teams.
In fact, the problem of the national soccer team has been a cliché for a long time. Our registered players after so many years is still not much improvement, slogans have been shouted for many years, in the city want to find a place to play football is still not easy, this may also be the football association's helplessness.
