憂心 擔心 痛心

LOL! But this kind of beauty only applies to the beauty of women and has nothing to do with football. To be more accurately as I know, it means unfaithful in love affairs. Seeing a beautiful girl and you forget your girlfriend or wife.

I'm not sure if this is necessarily true.

I don't regularly watch China National team games, but the impression I got from the few games I have watched in the past is that the performance of the team is usually not equal to the sum of its parts. This perception is also fueled by the fact that China seems to excel more in individual sports (diving, gymnastics, ping-pong) as opposed to team sports. Of course this is an over-generalization. But I recently watched the highlights of China's friendly victory over N. Korea, whose squad consisted mostly of players in their 2010 WC team, and the reports I read said that China controlled most of the game. Yet this was the same N. Korea that surprising held Brazil scoreless for the majority of their watch last year. This leads me to believe that while China could definitely use more "球星", what they need more is a stronger team spirit and tactical cohesiveness that will allow them to defeat more skilled teams (just like how the US and Switzerland were able to defeat Spain in 2009 and 2010).

 

Can't agree more. I am a firm believer in tactical play. Never mind the beautiful game as long as you win (fairly and cleanly of course).

Only 8k registered players in China, what do you expect? Vietnam has over 50k, Japan 500k, France 1.46mil. So there will be plenty of 痛心 in the near future less we fix this. If we get 500k registered players, I would be very surprised if we can't make it to WC everytime.

 

I still say all that we are seriously lacking is the government initiative. Give the people a reason to get excited for the sport and they will come; footy has and likely will continue to be a sport well-liked by the populace. It is just that years of continuous failure (for lack of a better term) has taken the excitement out of our own NT. If the government can get the message across to people that football in China is a sporting project they are willing to invest in seriously, I'm sure the registered player numbers in China would be no problem. If there is one thing Chinese people are good at, it is recognizing and seizing opportunity. Best plan right now if we want to jump-start footy in China would probably be to get the hosting rights to the next World Cup in AFC region (should be some time away) as soon as possible; announce it, make a big deal out of it, and assure the world that China will actually be putting money into it like the 08 Summer Olympics. Watch registered player numbers grow suddenly...

 

Or invest in grass-roots football...

 

So basically China should try to host a WC. I'm sure that will be as a good reason as any to get people excited. God knows the NT wont be able to get there through regular means. Maybe if we get the hosting rights for the next WC, then we'd have 10+ years to plan it and hopefully in those 10 years we can get our registered soccer player base up and keep it up after WC....

 

Should be do-able - who does CFA need to tap up in FIFA?

and this poster on Sina's forum said, which I pretty much agree with:

"卡马乔说的1，2，3，11条，是因为比赛少，能力也不行，没有办法，4，12条是因为球员除了收入交流外，其他的内容不会交流，因为在他们的心目中谁也不服，自己才是独 孤求败，5条，怕受伤，怕裁判，6条，中国人的观念是枪打出头鸟，7条，可以叫领袖，也可以叫球霸，已经被记着制服了，8条，谁也不服谁，9条，球只传给熟人，10条，俱 乐部向来靠外援，离开他们就不知道怎么踢了，13条，体能不行，14条，来国家队比赛主要是混个脸熟，提高身价，有些人为了进国家队花钱买通教练，唉，谁来都没有用，国家 队解散算了。"
