Since football can attract the attention of all walks of life in the whole society, the football strategy implemented by all football powers is the 'overall strategy', the strength of a country's football strength is closely related to everyone, which shows that the good or bad of a country's football development, its credit and responsibility, does not lie in a certain person or a certain department, but in the country's people and all departments, Chinese football is degenerate, the Football Association must be the first responsibility, but all of us in the country, also have responsibility.

Of course, no one is qualified to criticize the 'responsible' for the degeneration of Chinese football, in the mid-1990s, we were still living under the deep influence of the modern century-old humiliation: in the mid-1990s, the modern century-old history of humiliation was still a heavy boulder on the heart of every Chinese, and all people in the world, including Chinese, still had the impression of China with the words 'poor and weak'; in 1994, Japan's per capita GDP was $39,300, and China's was $473, that year, Japan's per capita GDP is 83 times that of China; In 1996, there was only one modern main warship of the Chinese Navy-052 destroyer, and the Air Force relied on 48 Su-27 purchased from Russia to support the façade, at that time, a wing of the US Air Force could have 72 advanced fighters; In the mid-1990s, the broad masses of the people were still looking forward to the Chinese New Year, because they could only eat a good meal during the Chinese New Year and taste the joy of life during the Chinese New Year.

This is a true reflection of the strength of our country in the 1990s, so in the mid-1990s, when our country first started to establish a professional football league, it was very easy to understand the mentality of thinking of ourselves as underdogs.

When you are very poor, it is basically impossible for you to make the most accurate judgment and come up with the most accurate development strategy in the development of certain industries. Of course, in the development direction of most industries, even when our country was very poor, we have made the most accurate judgment and come up with the most accurate development strategy, so we have today's achievements, but in football, we are still negatively affected by the 'poor and short-sighted'.

Even now, there are still many people in our country who morbidly insist on the mentality of being the weak, and although our country has made tremendous progress in the past 30 years, there are still many people who can't believe that we have really made such great progress, and there are many more people who can't believe that we are equal to the European and American football powers in terms of football.

Everything in the world is universally connected, and many seemingly unrelated things are actually extremely closely related, such as the connection between culture and football, the connection between national self-confidence and football, and the connection between culture and national self-confidence.

From the Yapian War to the present, there has been a very serious trend of 'reverse nationalism' in China's cultural circles, which is not only the reason why China once lagged far behind the West (including Japan), but also the reason why the West has continuously 'brainwashed and educated' us, and the reason why some Chinese cultural people have unreasonably stubbornly self-denying their own national culture and history. National inferiority mentality', inferiority to a certain extent, we even formed a lot of unbreakable concepts around inferiority, if you dare to break these concepts, then, the first to stand up and refute you is not those high-minded Westerners, but those Chinese cultural people who have firmly reshaped themselves with the 'national inferiority mentality'.

Therefore, in the final analysis, by 2020, Chinese football will still degenerate like this, in terms of probability, it is extremely probable, it is difficult to reverse, it is almost inevitable, it is determined by many reasons in history and reality, it is almost destined to happen, and even, to a certain extent, from 1980 to 2020, Chinese football has been going downhill, which is actually a 'reasonable phenomenon'.

The great German philosopher Hegel once said that 'existence is reason', and there have been countless interpretations of Hegel's famous sentence in the philosophical and 'folk philosophical circles', and here the author adopts the most common interpretation. If 'Chinese football is degenerate' as a kind of 'existence', then is this 'existence' reasonable?

From the perspective of China's geographical strength, population, comprehensive national strength and development prospects, this 'existence' is very unreasonable, but from the perspective of China's 400-year history and current situation, the 'existence' of Chinese football is 'reasonable'.

Since the fall of the Ming Dynasty, China has begun to enter a state of weakness, after the Yapian War, China has entered the weakest and most humble era, although before the Yapian War, China has also been weakened and fallen many times, but Chinese history has never been like modern history, in terms of culture and national wisdom by the world questioned and despised, and even the Chinese themselves, have a deep lack of confidence in their own national culture and national wisdom.

However, we Chinese and Chinese culture will never succumb to difficulties and setbacks, and every time we encounter a national crisis, there are always countless people with lofty ideals who bravely stand up and shed their blood to help the country and the nation solve the crisis. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, we finally braked the historical wheel of the century-old decline of Chinese civilization and began to stride forward on the journey of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

The word inertia, I believe everyone understands what it means, when you drive on the road, the speed reaches 100 kilometers per hour, when you are ready to brake and reverse the car, you brake the car, but your car still has to continue on the road for a long distance. The same is true of the weakness of a country or nation, although the founding of the People's Republic of China braked the historical wheel of the century-old decline of Chinese civilization, the inertia of a century-old decline is still profoundly affecting the development of Chinese society in the past few decades.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Chinese nation began a difficult great cause of rejuvenation under the condition that the inertia of weakness continued to exist: first, through a bloody and fiery War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, we swept away the humiliating situation of repeated defeats and bullying in the modern century; Then, we carried out the construction of the industrial base and the continuous innovation of the state system; Then, we succeeded in developing nuclear weapons and completely guaranteed our national security; After the reform and opening up, especially in the 21 st century, we have made tremendous progress in economic strength and scientific and technological strength, which is rare in the universe.

Due to the inertia of a hundred years of weakness, as well as the huge threat of many times of national extinction and near-extinction, so after the founding of New China, our development focus has always been to build a strong country that will not be invaded and slaughtered by others, in this case, sports and football have become secondary or even secondary things, whether sports and football can develop well, in the final analysis, is just the icing on the cake, not the most important thing.

It is precisely because of historical and practical reasons that it has led to the situation of Chinese football being weakened, so the 'existence' of Chinese football being weak is 'reasonable' compared to history and reality. There are a lot of people who often complain - 'Our country's strength has improved so much, why is our country's football still so weak?' ’

In fact, in the final analysis, in terms of football, our country's strength has not been strong, although we have a strong comprehensive strength and a superhuman rate of progress, but even if history progresses to 2020, in many ways, our country is still far inferior to Europe, the United States and Japan - especially in the field of theoretical science and per capita income. Moreover, there is inertia in weakness, there are steps in revival, and revival requires industry by industry step by step, and if our strength does not reach a certain level, the development of some industries will not be able to reach the 'critical point' of transshipment.

In 2020, Chinese football is still degenerate, and the author's point of view is that in football, even if we have taken a lot of wrong paths, or there are many flaws, these are just regrets, and it is a pity that we do not have enough prescient people in football. But regret is regret, we should not criticize anything, because existence is reasonable, and the 'existence' of Chinese football's degeneration is reasonable compared to the humiliating history of China's modern century, the inertia of China's long-term weakness, and the complicated steps on the road to China's rejuvenation.

In the final analysis, it is due to the miserable comprehensive strength of China in modern times, the national inferiority complex and lack of national self-confidence are also caused by the strength being too weak, and to change the situation of Chinese football degenerate, the most fundamental solution is only one, that is, to make our comprehensive strength stronger and stronger, strong to a certain extent, the situation of Chinese football degeneration will inevitably be changed, which is 'quantitative change leads to qualitative change'.

In the process of quantitative change leading to qualitative change, there are always several key time nodes, just like the War of Resistance Against Japan, which is the turning point for China to change from repeated defeats and bullying to being based on the forest of the world's nations, and it is also the general turning point for China from hundreds of years of decline to national rejuvenation, and where is the general turning point of Chinese football? The author believes that as recently as 2020, although at the time of writing this work, the year was not over.

The major events that happened in 2020, the author will not say more, after all, this book is about football. Football is affected by a country's comprehensive strength and national state, this influence process is hidden, intangible, invisible and intangible, but this influence is real, the relationship between comprehensive strength and national state, and football strength, just like gravity, although invisible and intangible, but plays a vital role.

2020 is a magical year, before 2020, although our country has been making rapid progress, but there has never been such a year like this year, our country's advantages in many aspects can be vividly displayed, everything that happened in 2020 is also a leap forward for China's international prestige and national self-confidence.

In the previous chapter, "Self-Confidence and Inferiority", although the author focused on criticizing the 'national inferiority mentality' existing in Chinese society, the author also said that the national inferiority mentality has its reasonable reason for existence, and when a nation is at its most vulnerable, inferiority is also a natural thing, which is also a kind of 'existence is reasonable'. However, things are constantly evolving, and the quantitative changes of the continuous development of things will eventually lead to qualitative changes, and if the quantitative changes reach the final node, there are still many people who can't believe that the quality will come, then this is the real sense of 'self-inflicted evil can not live'.

In the chapter "Self-Confidence and Inferiority", the author once said that the national inferiority mentality has seriously damaged the interests of Chinese society and everyone, but before 2020, the national inferiority mentality is still a phenomenon of 'existence is reasonable', even if it seriously damages the interests of all people, it is also 'existence is reasonable', because the inertia of long-term weakness will play an important role for a long time after the beginning of revival.

However, after experiencing the 'magical year' of 2020 (although the year has not yet passed at the time of writing this article), for Chinese, the national inferiority mentality, it is no longer a phenomenon of 'existence is reasonable', but a phenomenon of 'completely unreasonable', because, after experiencing this in 2020' After the magical year, the national inferiority mentality has lost all forgivable foundations, no matter in any way, the Chinese should completely abandon the national inferiority mentality, the reflection and criticism of history and reality can exist, and the national inferiority mentality is completely unnecessary.

Although the national inferiority mentality has lost the practical basis for its continued existence in China, ideologically, many Chinese may continue to maintain the stubborn national inferiority mentality cultivated for many years, and it is possible to continue to maintain it for more than ten years or even decades.

People's thinking is not so easy to change, many long-term humble people after the successful counterattack, can't believe that they have really succeeded, because inferiority and weakness have been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of these people, even if one day he suddenly succeeds, he is likely to not recognize that he has succeeded in the short term, he will also regard himself as the weak person he used to be, because this can make him more comfortable, because he has long used the inferiority complex to create a safe and comfortable psychological environment for himself, and suddenly makes him confident, on the contrary, he will be very uncomfortable, and he will completely disrupt his psychological balance.

However, the world will not have the slightest pity for those with inferiority, after a certain stage, a person or a nation must be self-confident, it must break the shackles of the national inferiority mentality, and if it cannot be broken, it can only be ruthlessly eliminated by history, history is a severe judge, it will not pity any inferiority complex who cannot keep up with the times, it will only appreciate those who believe in themselves and have the courage to forge ahead.

Therefore, after the end of 2020, the national inferiority mentality will become a negative factor in the absolute sense, and the national inferiority mentality does not deserve any form of forgiveness, because in the following years, the national inferiority mentality will only more seriously damage the interests of every Chinese, especially in the field of football and sports, and seriously damage the interests of every Chinese.

In short, to solve the problem of Chinese football, the first thing to solve must be China's national self-confidence problem, only to solve the problem of national self-confidence, Chinese dare to believe that China can compete with the whole Europe and the United States in football (unless Europe and the United States increase the population), and then China can formulate the correct football policy, and increase the number of professional football teams and the demand for professional players to a level that matches the number and comprehensive strength of the Chinese population, and then Chinese football can usher in a real rise moment.
