    After Dao created the best result in history and won the third place in the World Cup, how was China treated?

    In the past, the army won great victories, expelled the Tartars, and expanded its territory. The Chinese national team was treated the same way they were treated when they returned. Everywhere they went, there were loud gongs, drums, firecrackers, red flags, and huge crowds of people. Their energy was like a welcome.  Not a football team, but like national heroes returning home en masse.  Pepe's contribution

    Whether it is the head coach Milu who strategizes and leads the team, or the two assistant coaches Tang Pengju and Chu Guanghu who work hard to assist Milu, they have become god-like existences in the hearts of fans, let alone  Speaking of those international players who have long been idols in the hearts of all fans, even if they have not played on the field, they can pave their futures into a golden avenue because of this World Cup journey.

    But among these people, Pei Wei does not exist.

    After the World Cup, Pei Wei left the national team and rushed back to Beijing before everyone else. The national team slowly returned to China by traveling around, but Pei Wei could not travel leisurely with them.  back to Beijing.

    After Pei Wei returned to Beijing, the Chinese Football Association held a plenary meeting, and Pei Wei made a summary of the national team's participation in the World Cup.

    "This World Cup, on the surface, is enough to prove the rise of Asian football in the world. Among the four Asian teams participating in the World Cup, except for Saudi Arabia, the Japanese team has entered the top 16, China is third, and South Korea is third.  4. This result is not too bad for any continent. Even South America, which has Brazil and Argentina, cannot have a team enter the finals of this World Cup alone.  In terms of our achievements, we in Asia can become the third force competing with Europe and South America.¡±

    Pei Wei used this paragraph as his opening remarks: "But we have to pay attention to one thing. This World Cup is held in Asia. Asian teams have more or less been helped by some off-field factors, so what we have achieved  The results must also be discounted. I think everyone should know the methods used by the Korean team to enter the semi-finals. If the referee had not been so biased towards them, let alone the semi-finals, they would not have been able to get past Italy.  Although our results are solid, the schedule still gives us a lot of help. Among our seven opponents, except for Brazil, which we met twice, the other teams are not counted.  Very strong. Costa Rica and Turkey in the group stage have only entered the World Cup for the second time, just like us. Needless to say, the Japanese team has only entered the World Cup twice. Although Uruguay has been the champion of two World Cups, they are now here.  Their strength is completely different from before. In South America, they were only ranked fifth, and they only entered the World Cup after eliminating Australia through the play-offs. The opponents we defeated were actually at the same level as us or even worse.  According to my inference, the current strength of our national team should be above the second-tier in Europe, and it is comparable to the top teams, but the hope of victory is very small.¡±

    "This is already a very good improvement." Wan Junsheng nodded and said: "You know, even eight years ago, we couldn't even pass the Asian qualifiers. This shows that in the past few years,  Our strength has improved a lot.¡±

    "Thanks to Pei Wei for fully recommending Adriano and Deco to become Chinese nationals!" Xu said with a smile: "Without them, we probably wouldn't have achieved such results, especially Adrian."  No, he is only 20 years old, he can play in three more World Cups! This is a valuable asset to the Chinese national team!¡±

    Others also expressed their congratulations to Pei Wei. Anyone with eyes can see how important Adriano is in the Chinese team's offense. He is a terminator in the offense and can also create opportunities for his teammates.  Opportunities, there are many good forwards in China now, but there are basically no players who can shoulder most of the offense like Adriano.  Pepe's contribution

    Pei Wei smiled and waved his hand: "I'm just doing my dutyBrazil doesn't want such a good player, but we can't. Our family background is still very thin. We can choose as many of others as we want."  how many."

    Pei Wei's words caused another round of laughter. After he stopped laughing, Pei Wei continued: "Actually, this is also the second question I want to talk about. We have no shortage of good players now, but we don't have any who can be called world-class players.  Many, in the entire national team, except for the two foreign players Adriano and Deco, the only ones who can compete with any superstar in Europe without falling behind are Nie Fei and Sun Chenghai. The problem we face now is that Chinese players  There are many powerful players in the league, but there are very few superstars. Although this is enough to keep us at a relatively high level in Asia, it is still far from enough to challenge the world. "

      "Then what should we do?" Zhang Long asked.

    "Think about it, everyone, since the defeat in 1992:

    It has been less than ten years since Elbid. What made our team that could not qualify in the continent become a strong team that can win third place in the World Cup?  "Pei Wei did not directly answer Zhang Long's question, but asked another question.

    "Of course it's the league!" Everyone answered without thinking - isn't this obvious?  After the start of the professional league in 1994, as the players' income increased, the Chinese Football Association received more activity funds, and the national team gained a broader selection of talents, although it had not been able to do so in the first two years.  It shows some very good results, but since 1997, Chinese football seems to have won the first prize. One by one, the ideals that Chinese fans had dreamed about before but did not dare to have high hopes were realized one by one.  In 2000, he entered the World Cup, won the World Cup in 1998, entered the Olympic Games in 1999, won the Olympic silver medal in 2000, won the Asian Cup championship, entered the World Cup in 2001, entered the World Youth Championship, and won the third place in the World Cup in 2002

    These things that have never happened in the era of planned economy and professional teams have all been realized in just a few years. Although it is partly related to luck, it is absolutely inseparable from the development of professional leagues!

    "That's right, it's the league." Pei Wei nodded: "Playing football also requires money. Why the five major European leagues are the most exciting football leagues in the world is because these leagues have the world's largest clubs!  Every giant can spend countless amounts of money to attract the best stars, so their games are exciting! Why couldn't Chinese football succeed in the past? It was because of lack of money! Without money, there is no motivation, and the players cannot just shout.  A few slogans can do wonders, because the era of the 'spiritual atomic bomb' is over! After the professionalization of our league, the players are paid well, so that they can have more motivation to play football, and the children  Parents will also be willing to let their children learn to play football because they can earn huge income! The more people participate, the more players there will be, and the number of stars depends entirely on the strong foundation of football!  A strong country, because there are tens of millions of people playing football in the country. Even if there is only one star out of 10,000 people, they can produce thousands of stars!  The more skills there are, the faster young players will grow. Only through long-term development can a country's football level be greatly improved!"

    Pei Wei said loudly: "Take this World Cup as an example again. China, Japan and South Korea, which have achieved good results, are the countries with the best professional leagues in Asia. However, West Asian football, which was originally the hegemon in Asia, has made it difficult for them to compete due to their demographic disadvantages.  We don¡¯t have the money to cultivate good talents, so if we want our football to develop stably, doing a good job in the league is the most important thing!¡±

    "Actually, our results in this World Cup do not reflect the true level of Chinese football. We are able to achieve results that exceed our own strength because we have several superstars who are ranked high in the world. Among them are  Two of them were poached from Brazil, but we can¡¯t do more of this kind of thing. Doing too much will hurt the enthusiasm of domestic players. And our league is still a bit small in scale. There are 28 first-class teams in the country.  The dozen or so second-division teams are too few. This will cause many young players from football schools to stop playing football and be forced to stop their football careers. This is also a great harm. Therefore, the expansion of the league is inevitable.  Must do!¡±

    "Is this necessary?" Wan Junsheng asked doubtfully: "Our league is now very prosperous. Will rash expansion of the league cause the level to drop?"

    "Let me give you another example." Pei Wei said with a dry mouth, picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Now Tianyu Foundation has seventeen football schools under its name, and the number of graduates every year is about 3,000.  Excluding some colleges that are not suitable for football and have been eliminated, there will be at least thousands of young players every year. Can the more than 50 existing teams absorb these players? "

    Everyone shook their heads. Everyone knows such a simple calculation. One thousand divided by fifty. On average, a club will have twenty players. You must know that the average first team only has about thirty players.

    ¡°And after finishing third in this year¡¯s World Cup, it can be expected that the number of children who want to play football will increase to a very large number. Even if they can go abroad for some and play football in other Asian countries, at least half of them will still be there.  Young players with the potential to become professional players cannot find football. What a waste is it? Among them, the next Fei is likely to appear. You know, if I had not established the Yunjia Tianyu Club, Nie Fei would be there now.  Maybe he¡¯s already a wage earner.¡±

    "So, we want to expand our army!" Pei Wei said loudly.
