In recent years, Chinese football has shown a cliff-like decline, and opponents who have never lost before have also lost. No matter who they face, they are no sure of winning.
On October 5th U16 will start the journey of the Asian Youth Championship in Australia. In the past, we can easily deal with this event now, we can only rely on fighting and luck to strive to qualify in the group.
According to relevant news, head coach Yang Chen said: "The Australian team is the first seed team, or the host, and is the strongest opponent in this group. We have the confidence to compete with Australia. The Cambodian team is as strong as Myanmar and Indonesia . We cannot underestimate the enemy. We have the confidence to qualify and take it step by step, and play steadily."
From the coach's words, it is not difficult to see that he does not have enough confidence and confidence in whether the young master can appear. Australia's strength is between Japan and South Korea, but teams like Cambodian have also become our biggest opponent. This also reflects that we have not only declined in the adult team in recent years, but also for young people, and these are the main players of the future adult team.
In the coaching forum of the Shanghai Tomorrow Star Champions Cup, Vice Chairman of the Chinese Football Association and former head coach of the national football team Gao Hongbo directly points out the symptoms of teenagers, including slow speed, high body fat rate, and lack of personalized training. How can such players achieve results when they go out?
Gao Hongbo said: "Through more than two years of data collection, it was found that Chinese youth players had serious problems. Judging from the tracked youth players data, from 10, 11 to 13 and 14 years old, the gap in speed and ability of these players is getting bigger and bigger, and the speed and agility advantages of Chinese players have been lost."
You should know that during the period when Gao Hongbo played football, Chinese players had the advantage of speed and agility in Asia. Except for a few Japanese and Korean opponents, other teams did not have any threat to us at all.
In addition to having no speed advantage, Gao Hongbo's data also mentioned that the body fat rate of players should be controlled between 9% and 12%, while the body fat rate of Chinese teenagers is generally higher than 12%.
In the final analysis, these are still big problems in our daily training and management. Not only did we fail to improve our shortcomings, but we even lost our advantages. It is no wonder that Yang Chen regards Cambodia as a strong team and has the requirement for our players to work hard to do every game.
Every time is left for Chinese football. In the past, there were a large number of Southeast Asian countries to provide us with guarantees. Now these little brothers have caught up with or even surpassed their former elder brothers. This time, we really have less time left for us.
