As mentioned in the previous chapter, the development of football in a country or nation is affected by six factors: population size, comprehensive strength, national status, public interest, development strategy, and historical accumulation. Among these six factors, China is not weaker than Brazil and Argentina, the two major football powers, in terms of population, comprehensive strength, national status and public interest, but only in terms of 'football development strategy', Chinese football is doing very poorly, which is also the most critical reason why Chinese football is getting weaker and weaker, and the 'historical accumulation' of Chinese football is also determined by 'development strategy'.

The football development strategies of all countries in the world are formulated and implemented by the football associations of various countries, and the strength of Chinese football is miserable, and the main problem lies in the factor of 'development strategy'.

Not really.

The water is clear, there is no fish, people are not in vain, you can't ask a national football association to be 'as pure as a girl', in terms of integrity and responsibility, the Chinese Football Association in the world's national football associations, in fact, can be regarded as very outstanding, I hope readers and friends will not have the idea of beating the author to beat up when they see this point of view.

Although the Chinese Football Association has such and such shortcomings, the Chinese Football Association has been seriously learning from European football powers, and the development strategy of Chinese football is also based on the development strategy of European football powers.

Excluding all impossibilities, in the end there is only one possibility - that is, the development strategy of Chinese football, the fault is to learn too well from the European football powers, although you can refuse to admit this, but this is the truth. In fact, in terms of football, we should not learn from any country in Europe or South America or Japan and South Korea, the development of football in any country is not worth learning, learning from any country will make our football worse and worse, to learn, we can only learn from the whole of Europe.

There may be many readers who are dissatisfied with the author - 'The Chinese Football Association can be regarded as very outstanding, the author is not joking, right?' ’

The author is really not joking, if you think that Chinese football is not clean and serious enough, it is because you do not have a detailed understanding of the football associations of countries such as Brazil, Argentina, Italy and Spain - especially the Argentine Football Federation.

Before proceeding to the next step, the author would like to make an analogy.

What is the most appropriate metaphor for the relationship between a country's football association and a country's fans?

It is most appropriate to use the husband and wife as a metaphor, we can compare a country's football association to a 'husband', and a country's fans to a 'wife', next, let's take a look at the comparison between the Chinese Football Association and the Argentine Football Association.

Every 'husband' has his own character, and every country's football association also has his own 'character', where is the 'character' of a country's football association? If the "character" of the national football associations is measured by indicators such as "serious and responsible" and "honest and fair", then we will find that the Chinese Football Association is a relatively excellent national football association even when it is criticized the most.

Many people may be extremely dissatisfied with the author's assertion, and they will say - 'The strength of Chinese football is so poor, and it is getting worse and worse, how can the Chinese Football Association be 'excellent'? ’

Here, I want to say that 'a country's football strength and international competition results' have nothing to do with the relative level of the country's football association in terms of seriousness, responsibility and integrity, not to say that the more serious and responsible a country's football association is, the more honest and fair it is, the stronger the country's football strength.

Even if a country's football association is rotten to the point of anger, the country's football strength is likely to be very strong, and the country is also likely to produce many world-class stars, if you have any objections to this, then, please learn more about the Argentine Football Association, the Brazilian Football Association, the Italian Football Federation, the Spanish Football Association and other national football associations, especially the Argentine Football Association.

Of course, the author's point of view is definitely not to support a country's football association is not responsible, not serious, not honest, unfair, the author is just expounding such a point of view: whether the football association is responsible or not, serious or not, honest or not, fair or not, and a country's football strength does not have much to do with it, at least, in the past 50 years and even the next 30 years, there is not much to do with it, in the past 50 years and the foreseeable next 30 years, the competition of football strength of various countries is not the attribute of the national football association.

Football is originally a river and lake, all kinds of shady scenes, which is an inseparable part of the rivers and lakes of football, and the shady scenes must be severely cracked down, but they can never be banned, because there are all kinds of darkness in human nature, and the existence of darkness and the fight against darkness are a pair of dynamic equilibrium eternal existence relationship.

Take the Italian Football Association as an example, about the shady scene of the Italian Football Association, fans and netizens can search on the Internet, the scandal created by Italian football is definitely better than China, but this does not prevent the Italian national team from becoming the world's top football team, nor does it prevent Serie A from being the 'mini World Cup' in world football.

Serie A was known as the 'Little World Cup' in those years, it was precisely the darkest years of the Italian Football Association, after 2006, the Italian Football Association became more responsible, more serious, more honest, more fair, but Italy's football strength is also more and more degenerate.

There is even such a joke about Italian football - the darker Italian football is, the better Italian football tends to be able to achieve good results, such as the 1982 World Cup, the Italian team brought Rossi, who was banned for two years for 'manipulating the game', and during that time Italian football was also full of all kinds of shady scenes, but Rossi helped Italy win the 1982 World Cup.

A more well-known example is the 2006 World Cup, when the 'phonegate incident' that shocked the world in Italian football, but in the World Cup in Germany that year, the Italian team was defeated and finally won the championship.

The same is true of Brazil in 2002, which won the World Cup in 2002 before the 2002 World Cup. Of course, the shady scenes of Brazilian football have never stopped, but neither have the 'supernova explosions' of Brazilian football.

Brazil, Argentina, Italy, Spain, even if the football associations of these countries are irresponsible, no matter how dark the football world is, it will not prevent their talents from blowing out wave after wave, which shows that the attributes of the football association are not an important factor in determining the strength of a country's football in the past 50 years and the next 30 years in the foreseeable future.

In the same way, in society, we can also find that some men have good character, good education, good IQ, and everything is very good, but he just can't make money, so the girlfriends or wives of these men complain to them in various ways, saying that they are 'wretched, imbecile, and failed men'.

And some other men, who have very poor character, poor education, poor IQ, and poor everything, but they can make money, so the girlfriends or wives of these men praise them in all kinds of ways, saying that they are 'elite, successful men'.

The Chinese Football Association is 'a failed man who is good at everything but can't make money', and the Argentine Football Association is 'a successful man who is not good at anything but can make money', at least, in the eyes of Chinese fans, the Argentine Football Association is 'extremely successful'.

But if we get to know the Argentine Football Association a little, we will find how irresponsible the Argentine Football Association is, and Chinese fans are all kinds of criticism and dissatisfaction with the Chinese Football Association, that is because Chinese fans do not have a deep understanding of the Argentine Football Association.
