In the previous chapters, the author has mentioned many times that the key reason for the degeneration of Chinese football is that the number of professional teams and the demand for professional players are too low; The fundamental reason for the degeneration of Chinese football is the inferiority of the nation and the lack of self-confidence, precisely because we do not realize the real potential strength of our country in football, precisely because we dare not believe that we have all the basic conditions to compete with the whole of Europe in football, and precisely because of a series of wrong football policies formulated on the basis of lack of self-confidence, therefore, the level of football in our country has fallen to the current level.

In the previous chapters, the author has also mentioned many times: after finding the 'cause', to solve the problem, it is necessary to treat the symptoms; we must remove the national inferiority mentality and establish national self-confidence, we must believe that there is no difference between a Chinese and a European or American in football, which is the basis for China's football to achieve real progress; and in terms of specific football policies, the best way to 'treat' the stubborn disease of Chinese football is undoubtedly to launch a game' 'and provide a sufficient number of jobs for all football-talented young people in society, i.e. about 70,000 professional players.

So, since when did our country have the strength to launch the 'copycat European football sport'? Since when did the provinces of our country have the strength to establish their own league systems? Since when did our country have the strength to gradually establish a league system with 2,500 professional teams?

The author believes that since 1980, our country has the strength to try to carry out 'copycat European football', and when the time comes to 1995 or so, our country has the absolute strength to carry out 'copycat European football' in an all-round way, and when the time enters 2008, this time will not be opened' Copycat European football sport', that means that in the following time, the Chinese Football Association and all the groups involved in football, the harder they work, the worse Chinese football will become, and the facts after 2008 have also proved this.

In the mid-1990s, our country was determined to vigorously develop football and put forward the slogan 'Football starts from the baby'. Of course, there is no mistake. And was the slogan 'Football Starts with a Baby' a cold reception at the time? Of course not.

Only in the mid-1990s, as many as 5,000 football schools were established across the country, and it is also said that more than 2,500 football schools were established across the country at that time.

However, what is unexpected is that in the mid-1990s, the boom in Chinese football cooled overnight, and everyone's interest in football also cooled overnight, with more than 5,000 (or more than 2,500) football schools closing down one after another, and now there are less than 100 football schools struggling to maintain. Up to now, there are less than 50,000 young players registered in China, more than 500,000 in Japan and South Korea, more than 200,000 in Thailand, and more than 1 million in the Netherlands, a football powerhouse in Europe and South America, and more than 2 million in Baad, France, England, Italy and Spain.

So, what caused the boom in Chinese football to fade in the mid-1990s? What is the reason for the closure of more than 5,000 (or 2,500) football schools in China?

Now, let's look at two data - more than 5,000 and less than 100: in the mid-1990s, when our country proposed' At that time, there were more than 5,000 football schools in the country; later, China's football boom faded instantly, and now, there are less than 100 football schools left; from more than 5,000 to less than 100, more than 5,000 and less than 100, these two data, is it random? No, the appearance of these two data is very scientific.

So, what does the data of more than 5,000 represent? It represents the most reasonable number of football schools and professional teams in Chinese society, generally speaking, the most mature football power, a professional football team, needs two football schools to provide it with talent. Even if the data of 2500 is taken, it can also show that when China set off a football boom in the mid-1990s, every province and county in China had a high demand for the development of football, and every province and county completely showed its own enthusiasm.

At that time in 1995, China had a population of 1.2 billion, 200 million less than now - that is, one less Brazil, and 10,000 fewer people suitable for professional football, however, the development of plans are forward-looking, around 1995, in the subconscious of China's provinces and counties, the formulation of football development plans is also based on the national population of about 1.4 billion, so at that time, more than 5,000 football schools were established in the country, so many football schools, It can provide talent for more than 2,500 professional football teams. Even if the data of 2,500 is taken, it can show that China at that time was enough to provide talents for more than 12,501 professional football teams.

Therefore, how many full-time schools appear in a certain industry in a certain period of time in a society are not arbitrary, they are all in line with scientific principles, and they are all in line with group statistics.

So, why did the more than 5,000 (or 2,500) football schools in the country close down one after another in the mid-1990s?

It depends on what happened in the mid-1990s. As we all know, China's football professional league, from 1994 began trial operation, and officially started in 1995, when it was still a league A, in fact, the league A was just held, in China is still very sensational, the people of the whole country have invested great enthusiasm, but what everyone did not expect is (even now everyone still did not think), it is the emergence of the A League, which has led to the closure of more than 5,000 (or more than 2,500) football schools in China. And caused the boom of Chinese football to fade in an instant.

Why is that?

This is because the A-League, and the Chinese Super League, which was later renamed, only have more than a dozen teams, plus the second-level league and the third-level league, China's professional football teams have not been able to exceed 50, no more than 50 professional teams, and the football schools that 'supply' these teams cannot exceed 100, because football schools also have to survive, and survival requires competition, and once they compete, a large number of football schools will fall.

Therefore, until now, there are less than 100 football schools left in China, and this data is not random, but closely related to the number of professional teams in China. The closure of a large number of football schools, the instant dissipation of the football craze, the stagnation of the number of professional teams in China, and the booming of China's comprehensive strength, especially its economic strength, have all caused Chinese football to decline to the end and be despised by the world, as the author has discussed many times in the previous text.

In the mid-1990s, China was able to establish more than 5,000 (or more than 2,500) football schools, which shows that at that time, we were fully capable of fighting 'copycat European football', at that time, we were fully capable of allowing provinces to form their own league systems, and at that time, we were fully capable of forming more than 2,500 professional football teams and providing about 70,000 professional players.

Just imagine, in the mid-1990s, our country did not establish a league A with only a dozen teams, but a 'provincial football league', but allowed each province to establish 12-20 league teams, then, today, what kind of existence will our country's football strength be?

It is a pity that due to our collective national inferiority complex, due to our collective lack of self-confidence, in the mid-1990s: no one dared to think that in football, China could compete with the whole of Europe and the United States; No one dared to think that China could build a football league system comparable to that of the whole of Europe; Not even dare to think that in football, a Chinese and a European and American are completely equal.

At that time, we thought the same - in football, a Brazilian, an Italian, a German, an Argentine, a Frenchman, a Dutchman, an Englishman, a Spaniard, at least 1,000 Chinese.
