China ancient football.
Football originated in China. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, "Cuju" or "Benju" appeared. The earliest statement can be found in the Qi Ce Warring States Policy: "The rich are very blessed, but actually ... they have fallen". In the Han Dynasty, due to the prosperity of social economy, Cuju was greatly developed and almost deserted. In addition, cuju has become the main sports activity of the court. When Liu Bang's father first entered the palace, he was always unhappy because he didn't have a ball to kick. Later, Liu Bang specially built the "Xinfeng Palace" for Liu Taigong, so that the emperor's father could play cuju with people in his hometown for fun. Such an environment has also created "emperors' stars" like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty. In addition, cuju has also become one of the contents of military training.
The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of Cuju. Compared with the Han Dynasty, Cuju had a new invention at this time. The first is the appearance of "inflatable ball", and the second is the invention of goal. There were two kinds of goals. First, there are two goals in the stadium, one at each end. A kicked B's ball, and B kicked A's ball. It has a large amount of exercise and strong competitiveness, similar to modern football. The other is to set up a goal in the center of the stadium, which is shared by both sides. The goal is high and the entrance is small. It is estimated that only those who pull the wire can go in. In addition, there are different ways to kick the goal, there are many kinds, one person kicks himself, two people kick each other, and many people kick tricks. At that time, the MM in the Tang Dynasty were generally non-confrontational cuju, and they became the earliest women's football players in the world.
By the Song Dynasty, the kicking method of two goals had disappeared, and one goal or no goal was mainly popular. This exercise is not much, but it is more technical and entertaining. The kicking method is: First, Team A kicks the ball into the door (the height of the door is estimated to be three feet high and one foot wide). After the player of team B got the ball, he passed it to his own ball head, and the ball was shot out by the ball head and kicked the door to win.
It is worth mentioning that cuju (the earliest ice hockey sport) was very popular in Qing Dynasty because of national customs. When playing, divide into two teams, each with dozens of people. After the ball was thrown, the two teams competed for kicks and enjoyed passing the ball at the feet of their own players. This is a bit like when we play ball, but we are overtaken by several people and one of them grabs it. Usually, we are "tired to death" before giving up.
The development of football after the founding of New China.
After the founding of New China, China's national team went to study in Hungary and returned to China 1958. Unfortunately, it failed to reach the final of 1958 World Cup, which was quite a blow. Perhaps this should be regarded as the first major event of China football in the 20th century. Its far-reaching significance is not only the first time for the whole national team to study abroad, but also the first time for a foreign national team coach to appear. Most importantly, it has trained the first batch of modern football backbones for China. Li Fenglou, Chen Chengda and Nian Weiss will not only become the main players of the national team in the future, but also occupy the dominant position in China football for a longer period of time. Their own quality, ability and courage will directly affect the development of China football and dominate the fate of China football in the next few decades. Their descendants, whether as players, coaches or leaders, are deeply branded with their predecessors. Therefore, these people have become the pioneers and founders of modern China football, which is the real source of contemporary football in China.
In the following time, it was a decade of "Cultural Revolution turmoil". In an era of "political supremacy", football is banned. After the reform and opening up, Su Yongshun led the China team 1982 World Cup finals and lost. This is the first time that China football has closed its doors for a long time, and it has impacted the World Cup qualifying rights for the first time since its return to FIFA. In essence, it is the beginning of modern football history in China. It was the first time that China football collided and competed with the outside world in all directions, which made Chinese people realize the cruelty of modern football for the first time and came into contact with the international football system represented by home and away games. The whole process was broadcast live by CCTV and spread all over China, which trained the first batch of fans who watched nine-inch black-and-white TV and a football newspaper at 80 cents for China. For the first time in the history of football in China, there was an upsurge that a ball touched hundreds of millions of hearts. The concept of star began to take shape, and the slogan of rushing out of Asia to the world was the goal of several generations of China football. Since then, football has established its position as the first sport in China.
1985 May19, because China lost to Hong Kong at home in the World Cup qualifier, the fans at the scene were emotional and angry, which turned into street riots. Since then, football in China is no longer regarded as a sport in isolation, but as a window of China society from a cultural perspective. Ceng Xuelin, the head coach of the national team, resigned not only because of the failure of the competition, but also to appease nationalist sentiment and stabilize the society. This means that China football is endowed with a heavy social mission. In this context, the conservative atmosphere gradually permeated the whole football in China. China's team turned from prosperity to decline in Asia, and its technical and tactical style evolved from active attack to defensive counterattack, and gradually slipped to the second-rate level.
China passed the Olympic Games because of two "black three minutes", 1988 and 1990 passed the World Cup. China, which entered modern football, grasped the division between East and West Asia, and rushed out of Asia for the first time in a real sense without hitting its main rival, the Korean team. However, China football failed to seize this rare opportunity and made a qualitative leap, so entering the Olympic Games did not bring much influence. On the contrary, the impact and repercussions brought by the World Cup qualifiers next year are much stronger. China lost two goals in the first three minutes of the final twice under the favorable leading situation, and lost the historical opportunity to rush out. Although it failed again, this extremely dramatic result made the attention of football in China society reach an unprecedented peak.
1979 started the reform and opening up, but the "close contact again" with football "foreign coaches" waited until the 1990s. 1992, the China team seeking development invited schlappner, but failed again in the 1994 World Cup final. Schlappner became the first coach of the national team to coach in China. His short time in China, less than two years, is a watershed in the transformation of China football from professionalism to professionalism. Although schlappner led the team to play the third place in the Asian Cup, and also brought some ideas of developed football areas to China, it was the inevitable result of China's failure due to his own level and the actual national conditions in China. After schlappner, there was a debate about whether to continue to introduce foreign coaches or let China coach the national team. With the international integration of China football, this controversy no longer exists.
Before the professional league, Liaoning dominated the world. As the largest football province in China, Liaoning has established ten champion dynasties from 1984 to 1993. In fact, northeast football was in the forefront of China as early as 1950s, but it was not until the early 1980s that the Liaoning team represented by Li Yingfa gradually established the unshakable dominance of Liaoning football in China. By winning a championship every year, they have established a dynasty with ten consecutive championships, including the National Games, the National First Division League and the FA Cup, which represents the highest level in China and the only intercontinental champion that China has won so far. Even today, the Dalian team, which won the championship in the professional league for seven years and five years, still bears the original shadow. Liaoning football has become the largest part of China football, which has greatly influenced the rise and fall of China football. From 65438 to 0994, the professional football league in China started in an all-round way, which means that football in China has entered a new period. The original intention of professionalization is to let players complete the benign transformation from "I want to practice" to "I want to practice" by establishing a competitive mechanism. As a result, this unintentional move made football a huge industry. However, professional leagues have spawned a series of new problems, such as match-fixing, black whistle, and players' quality falling instead of rising. With the increase of investment, it is getting worse and worse, even making the football reform in China impossible. At the same time, a series of poor performances of China players in foreign wars finally made China football position itself as a second-rate player in Asia.
1997, Qi Wusheng, who "knows what he can't do", was unable to attack the World Cup, so he was defeated by Jinzhou District of Dalian, and the Chinese people continued to be disappointed. The level of local coaches forced China to look to foreign teachers again, and Horton was here. The former head coach of China national team and Olympic team spent two years in China football and spent millions of dollars as an "English gentleman". After all, he can't stand the test of "practice is the only criterion for testing truth". His ideas of "merging lines" and "long pass and hanging" failed to save the China team. There are no variables and routines in our play, and the result can only be like that. Unfortunately, a generation of players with such potential has been written into the history of losers like their predecessors. However, their football thoughts, together with schlappner, greatly influenced the football in China. Therefore, China football unswervingly embarked on the road of foreign teachers.
In addition to the traditional men's soccer, China also strives to develop women's soccer. China women's football team was founded in 1982, but for a long time, women's football team has not been popularized in China, and it is still in a dispensable subordinate position. The system and way of thinking are still in the era of professional sports, and the first generation of women's football players are still active in the field. Only in the196 Olympic Games and the199 World Cup, China women's football team failed to win the championship twice, and only after winning the runner-up did it set off a certain women's football craze in the whole country.
Modern football enters China.
At the beginning of the 20th century, modern football was introduced to China from Europe. "It depends on Mei Lanfang to watch the play and Li Huitang to watch the ball." This is a sentence that spread in Shanghai in the 1930s. In old China, it was unusual for a sports star to be compared with the name of Mei Lanfang, a master of Beijing Opera. He won the title of "Asian King" with tenacious struggle and superb skills. From 65438 to 0976, Li Huitang, together with Brazil's Pele, Britain's Matthews, Spanish Stifano and Hungarian Serbs, was rated as "the top five football players in the world" in the selection activities organized by an authoritative football magazine in the Federal Republic of Germany. At that time, China football gradually developed strongly in Asia. Together with Li Huitang, the first vanguard appeared, and for the first time, a regular team representing the country's foreign wars appeared. This is the beginning of football in China, and football has become the symbol of standardized competition in China. From 19 15 to 1934, China Far East Games won nine consecutive championships, and 1936 and 1948 were shortlisted for the Olympic Games twice. At this time, China football is the undisputed overlord in Asia.
Later, due to political and other reasons, there was a vacuum in the whole world football, and China football was no exception.
