Physical Examination Channel | Thirty years from the main away and away

In July, Chinese football ushered in two major events: First, the Football Association announced the second stage of the Chinese Super League and will try to restore the main and away game system; second, a Chinese men's football that can only be called "selection team" will be in On July 17, I went to Japan to participate in the East Asia Cup. If there is a fan who comes from 30 years ago, I am afraid that they will be surprised by the history of history -saying that football reforms and touching the river to cross the river. After 30 years, the stone in front of me is so familiar. After a large circle, we stopped in place!

Yes, this year is the 30th anniversary of the famous "Hongshankou Conference", and Chinese football seems to return to the "starting point" again.

The famous football reporter Ma Dexing wrote a commemorative article saying: 30 years ago, Wu Shaozu, then director of the National Sports Commission, clearly pointed out that there is a phenomenon of "four no" in Chinese football- These "old habits" and "bad habits" in football not only did not change any substantial changes, but became more and more serious.

Young fans may not understand how to "get more and more serious". Isn't Chinese football so bad?

In fact, in 1992 held at the Hongshankou Conference, the Chinese Olympic team led by Xu Genbao won Japan 2: 1 in the Asian finals in the Asian region of the Olympic Games (Zhang Jun, a deep -foca name for Zhang Jun), and the last round " Black 9 minutes "lost to South Korea -at that time, the strengths of the three East Asian three strengths could be arranged in order of Korean, China, and Japan.

I never thought that 30 years later, the Japanese J League team has reached the AFC Champions League 5 times, 4 holders, and the Korean K League team has reached the finals 10 and 7 times. No team can break into the finals. At the national team level, since 1992, the Japanese team won the Asian Cup championship and 6 times to the World Cup. The Korean team ’s Asian Cup was 3rd and one runner -up. The World Cup finals have never been absent. The Chinese team ’s Asian Cup is one third and first runner -up. Except for the 2002 Korea and Japan, the World Cup is no longer.

In other words, regardless of the professional league level or the national team level, Chinese football has been left behind by Japan and South Korea! Especially in the past seven or eight years, the trend of "golden yuan football" has retreated, and countless covered old problems have returned to the water, and fans who love Chinese football over and over again.

In January 1992, the Chinese Olympic team defeated Kuala Lumpur with Xu Genbao as the coach and Fan Zhiyi as the captain, and lost the Barcelona Olympics voucher. Five months later, the Hongshankou meeting was held to establish a professional path for Chinese football. Two years later, the A League opened. In 1995, the A -League of A A, the Shanghai Shenhua team with Xu Genbao as the coach and Fan Zhiyi as the captain. The picture shows Fan Zhiyi (left) and Xu Genbao in Shanghai in 2011.

It is also interesting to say that the history of Chinese football can always be anchored by the place names full of romantic colors -tears of Dalian Jinzhou, the carnival of Shenyang Wuli River, the eight thousand footsteps of Kunming Haiji, the Tianhe of Guangzhou Tianhe "Never Win enough" ...

Hongshankou in the western suburbs of Beijing is destined to write history because of a working conference on football professional reform.

According to historical records, the Hongshankou Conference was held from June 23 to 27, 1992. 98 representatives from various industries and key areas of the provinces and cities in various industries attended the meeting. Invited to attend the meeting. The meeting decided to use football as a breakthrough in sports reform, and established the reform direction of China's football to follow the road of professionalization -that is, it clearly proposed the physicalization of the Football Association and the establishment of a professional club and the implementation of the club system.

This series of measures could indeed be called "bold" at the time, reflecting the courage of the explorer and pioneers in that era.

At the same time, the professional reform of Japan and South Korea's football also on the agenda.

In 1993, the Japanese football industry, which lost the World Cup finals, officially launched the J League. The following year, in 1994, the South Korean Football Association decided to reorganize the long -established but very dull "company league", and the K League came into being.

At that time, the reform concept of "Japanese football godfather" Kawaka Saburo coincided with Chinese football people who dared to try. He said this: "For those who always say that the timing is not mature, even after 100 years, they will still say that the timing is not mature. For those who say that they have not succeeded in a precedent, even if the precedent is unsuccessful, even if it is not a precedent, even if it is not a precedent, even if it is said In the year, they will still say that there is no precedent for success. "

After the Hongshankou Conference, the A League A (founded in 1989) officially launched professional reform in 1994. The 12 club teams participated in the game and adopted the main away away two -cycle system.

The unveiling battle Sichuan Quanxing's home against Liaoning Far East, the number of audiences at the scene exceeded 40,000. In the first four rounds of the league, the total number of on -site viewers was 522,500, averaging 118,000.

In 1995, the "hot" level of the A League was even higher. Chengdu, Guangzhou, and Shanghai are hailed as the "Gold Calling Market". The average seat rate of the A A League is 23,700 people. It is said that it ranked third in the world at that time. CCTV -5 (CCTV Sports Channel, officially launched on January 1, 1995) began to broadcast the A League A League, which can be described as 10,000 people. Each team's chest advertisements have attracted the sponsorship of Japanese and Korean brands such as Mitsubishi, Samsung, and Jianwu. In terms of stars, "General Fan" Fan Zhiyi immediately raised his sword. Ma Mingyu, Li Ming, Gao Feng, Peng Weiguo and other popular countries also became their own urban heroes. The Jianlibao Youth Team, who was highly hoped, returned to the province this summer to bring surprises to the Chinese people; the national team continued the famous "unbeaten worker" ... But behind these lively scenes, many problems in professional league operations operate It was hidden intentionally or unintentionally and eventually broke out in the future. For example, the lack of professional league (league independent management agency), the "low sale" of the TV broadcast right, the outsourcing of the league business development rights, the club management and investors' unclear relationship, the transfer system (delisting system) Native

The "reefs" of Chinese football eventually showed the original form under the double blow of the "golden yuan football" retreat and the invasion of the epidemic, and once again confirmed the phenomenon of "four no".

Thirty years of Hongshankou, I smiled at the wind and clouds. This smile is the all -flavored Kuangda, and left helpless bitterness between the lips and teeth.

Nevertheless, many fans agree with Madexing's point of view -Chinese football still needs the passion and enthusiasm of the Hongshankou meeting 30 years ago; all problems and setbacks encountered in the history of Chinese football need to be solved by reform.

Thirty years long, we missed too much. Thirty years and shorter, the three East Asian three kingdoms of football, who is slow and who is fast, who is bad, and open -minded. What about watching it after thirty years?
