"When it comes to training coaches, our Football Association has ready-made training courses every year, do you want to have another set?" 18 years and 22 years are too far away from now, Yan Shiduo doesn't care about Lu Hai's ridicule at all.

"Compared to the athletes, our coaching level is the worst! There are many retired players in the top five European leagues, who have been coaching for two years and run to primary and secondary schools to coach. You can't win at the root! ”

In the task given to Lu Hai by God, the requirement of the world's largest number of spectators, Lu Hai originally felt that relying on economic improvement, the natural development of Chinese football could complete this task. But after really having an in-depth understanding of the European league, although Lu Haijue's task is not as perverted as winning the World Cup five times, it is not something that can be achieved with economic development. The British nine-level club system, 30,000 clubs, hundreds of thousands of games every year, is an average of 1,000 spectators per game, and hundreds of millions of people watch the game every year. If China wants to achieve this scale, it is absolutely impossible to rely only on the Chinese Super League and the Chinese League. Therefore, learning from Europe and establishing a complete league system in China has become an inevitable choice for Lu Hai.

Most Chinese in 06 think that European and American countries are naturally advanced, so everything in Europe and the United States is good and we should learn from it. This concept collapsed after the financial crisis of '08, and the Chinese began to look at Western society dialectically. As a person who was reborn in 2017, Lu Hai will also seriously think about the causes and successes and failures of Europe and the United States in terms of institutions. Judging by the number of honours received, the strongest countries in European football should be Germany, Italy and France. (The reasons for Spain's strength in 10-14 years have gone beyond the realm of football alone, there are language factors, factors such as the financial crisis hitting a series of Spanish-speaking countries in South America, and the confrontation between the Catalans and the Spanish central government.) A brief discussion of this proposition alone does not stop in a single chapter. China can't learn from Spain, and it shouldn't learn from it. These three countries are precisely the three most industrially strong in Europe. Even in Asia, the strongest era of South Korea's industry was around 2000, when the South Korean team could press the Chinese team to the ground, but when South Korea's industrial level was relatively declining, after 2010, its football gradually went downhill. After 2010, South American football declined rapidly, and one of the important reasons was that South American countries were re-agriculturalized by China. Football in the British Empire has long been commercialized and financialized, and it has never been industrialized football, so the British Empire only won a World Cup championship on its own home World Cup, which has not completely lost industrialization, relying on a goal that has been controversial for decades.

Football is a typical working-class sport, which pays attention to teamwork, cooperation, confrontation, technology, communication, unity, honor and responsibility. Football is not good without a developed industrial culture, and conversely, by training football from an early age, children can be exposed to teamwork, cooperation, confrontation, technology, communication, unity, honor and responsibility from an early age. Most children who train in football will not grow up to engage in this profession, but what they learn from football as a child will affect their whole life, and when they become adults, whether they are working as workers, doctors, scientific research or even soldiers, it is good for their career development. It's even more important than a particular skill they specialize in. For the country, the young generation with such quality will better develop our industry and our scientific research.

Of course, basketball has the same effect, and high-confrontation sports that require teamwork have the same effect. However, football is the least costly. A small open space and a soccer ball will allow children to play for half a day.

Industrialization is the soil of football, which in turn provides nourishment for industrialization.

When Lu Hai first received the task given by God, he was often worried that his vigorous development of football would affect the normal development of China, and even whether it would make China South American. But after careful consideration, Lu Hai believes that there are tens of thousands of clubs in China, about 10 million members, 100,000 games in the system every year, more than 1 billion live spectators every year, and 100 billion yuan of football tickets. It will not allow China to follow the path of Latin America or the British Empire, but will play a positive role in China's social development.

But to do that, you need players, you need coaches, you need doctors, you need workers who plant turf, and even the guards who watch the stadium gates. More importantly, there needs to be a small open space in the neighborhood where children can play football and children's interest in football.

Lu Hai's task now is to lead the Chinese team to continue to achieve good results, so that Chinese fans have always maintained their interest in football, so that more fans can go out of their homes, find suitable football venues, and join football training. Let the children be able to play a few kicks of football often under the influence of adults, and gradually expand the number of football population in China, the process is so slow and fragile, that Lu Hai does not dare to slack off in the slightest.

"My idea is this, recruit a few psychology majors, mathematics majors, exercise physiology majors and sports training majors. Let's set up a research institute, spend decades to study in detail the way athletes train from an early age, and the annual training is presided over by the institute, teaching our research results and concepts to the coaches, and they also feedback the problems encountered in the training to the institute, and we will work together to systematize and standardize this training.

When I go back this time, I will start recruiting young players from all over the country, and the research object of the institute is these young players at the beginning, and the training theory will be used in Europe and the United States first. In the future, we will slowly change according to the physical characteristics and diet and culture of the Chinese, and this matter will be slowly taken in ten or twenty years. I'm 22 years old, and I'm going to keep an eye on it for the rest of my life. ”

"But there is such a research institute in the General Administration." This kind of thing that will not produce obvious results in a lifetime is not attractive to bureaucrats and politicians like Yan Shiduo, and it is enough to have a façade and a few highly educated people stationed in it, and to give an explanation to all aspects. If Lu Hai asks for this, the Football Association will spend time and effort and can't get visible benefits, so why bother.

"Boss Yan, you can work for a maximum of 16 years, and ministerial-level cadres can retire at 65, but I have to spend all my time in Chinese football, even if I retire at the age of 60, I have to work for another 38 years. I have been staring at this institute for 30 years, and in 30 or 40 years, Chinese football can win the championship without me. Xiuxian has the saying of building a foundation, and for Chinese football, this is part of building a foundation. There is nothing in the world that wants to achieve results, work hard, and take risks! ”
