On a sunny weekend, sitting at home and scrolling through my mobile phone, I inadvertently turned to a news: Tianjin Jinmen Tigers' leading striker Suarez is about to transfer, the transfer fee is as high as 5.5 million euros, this news seems to be like a bomb, I was stunned, you know, as fans, we often have an almost emotional dependence on the core players in the team, learning such news can't help but make me a little worried: what kind of story is this?
When I slowly figured out the truth of the matter, I found that this is not just a simple transfer, but reflects the problems at all levels of Chinese football, Suarez really left, but what he left behind is the helplessness of the team, the loss of the fans, and a league that is experiencing twists and turns
In Tianjin Jinmen Tigers, Suarez can be said to be an absolute star, every goal he scores, will attract warm cheers, and this departure, reflects not only his personal transfer, this is more like a microcosm of Chinese football, when you realize that investment may not necessarily be exchanged for gain, how to look at it is a mixed thing, 5.5 million euros, this number seems to become a little insignificant compared to the "sky-high" reinforcements in the Super League, but in the current situation of the Jinmen Tigers team, But it was a choice that had to be faced
The picture comes from the Internet
The transfer market has been expanding rapidly for so many years, and the Jinmen Tiger chose to sell Suarez in order to keep themselves, which seems helpless but has to be, and sure enough, the return on investment in the team is idealized, but it may not be able to show results on the field, this situation is sad: so much has been invested, but it is a "high investment, low output" encounter, and the fans' expectations for the team are in stark contrast to reality, which makes people feel cold
If you turn your eyes to Australia, a country with another football tradition, you will find that they have also had a difficult journey, just when the news of Australia national team head coach Muscat refusing to coach exploded in the circle, and for a while many fans wondered: Why? Isn't it true that every coach wants to coach the national team?
Muscat's refusal is undoubtedly surprising, for him may have 10,000 reluctance in his heart, but he has to face the embarrassment of Australia football today, in recent years, in the international arena, Australia's performance does not seem to be as bright as expected, their sense of achievement has gradually become scarce, in this case, coaching has become more and more difficult, emotional depression is difficult to get rid of, in other words, for Muscat, he is not just a coaching opportunity, but the helplessness of facing uncertain results
In this way, whether football is in China or in Australia, it is always a journey to fight against reality and fight with emotions, and the football of the two countries seems to be like two different routes, floating on the same rough sea, we say, the term "Jinyuan football" has been common in recent years, but what kind of reality is Chinese football facing today?
The picture comes from the Internet
The national team's "gold yuan to buy fame" seems to have come to an end, investors are beginning to realize that transfer fees and short-term celebrity strategies alone can not really change anyone's fate, the story of the Jinmen Tiger is a real reflection of this, a high-level league system and mature youth training, is the team's long-term survival
Whether it is Chinese football or Australia football, many times it is not only a problem of coaches and players, but also a problem of culture and system, when I returned to my hometown, I heard many friends nagging, young boys are not so enthusiastic about playing football, football is not as common as basketball, table tennis, badminton in the streets, such a cultural atmosphere, sometimes like a rope, tie up potential excellent players one by one
Let's talk about the youth academy, Suarez's departure, let us reflect: in a country with such a rich football tradition and history, why is there still a lack of excellent players trained in the country? The lack of youth training has dried up the future of Chinese football like water without a source, and in Australia, although their youth training system is relatively perfect, the lack of real depth at the national team level is also an inescapable situation
Whether it is the Jinmen Tigers or the Australia national team, the current predicament reminds us: football is not only a competitive sport, but also a combination of culture and heritage, and the future road must rely on reason and precipitation to find a new road, not only by "sky-high" transfer and blind gold yuan football, I hope that in the near future, we can see a new look, whether in the Chinese Super League or in the international arena
The picture comes from the Internet
With the advancement of the times, who said that Chinese football cannot be in line with international standards and re-emerge? This may be the greatest hope in the heart of every fan, and all this journey still needs time to run in and inherit
When I sat at home again, looking at the cloudy sky outside the window, I gradually understood that this article is not a simple description of certain events, but a deeper thinking and exploration, the future of Chinese and Australia football, always rely on a more solid foundation to start, coupled with the enthusiasm and persistence of fans, maybe tomorrow there will be a different witness, and in our hearts, always with the love and hope for football, I hope that every day in the future, we can see more wonderful moments on the green field, and feel the continuation of the dream
