Ma Dexing: Brazilian football has fallen behind. Are the local tyrants in China still crazy?
On the domestic stage, menezes officially dismissed from class, and so did Lucenberg. In fact, if Evergrande has no other considerations this year, luiz felipe scolari, the current Brazilian coach, may be the first person to "leave class". It is only because the club is unwilling to pay a high fine and can't find a more prestigious world-class coach that Scolari is temporarily in a carefree situation. The once booming "Brazil coach gold rush" has finally faded.
It can be said that it is a "directional" mistake for domestic clubs to choose Brazilian coaches from the beginning. Over the years, Brazilian football itself has long been out of date. From Dunga to Scolari, and then back to Dunga, the change of the head coach of the Brazilian national team has actually explained the problem, that is, the Brazilian national team can't find a good coach! So domestic clubs spend a lot of money to hire these Brazilian coaches. Besides telling the outside world that "many people are stupid with money", how much substantial help can it bring to China football?
"Brazilians never learn football!"
Since winning the World Cup in 2002, Brazil has missed the semi-finals without 20 14 as the host. In the ongoing Copa America, Brazil's first game was also drawn by Ecuador, which was not as good as the impression. More importantly, among the top football stars in the world, how many can Brazil rank first? More importantly, how many Brazilian stars are indispensable for top clubs in the world, especially in Europe? Except Neymar. This is the current situation of Brazilian football. Today's Brazilian football is not what it used to be.
The reason for the overall decline of Brazilian football in recent years is that the technical and tactical concepts have completely fallen behind the world, especially behind Europe. I remember when Scolari came to China more than a year ago, I mentioned a sentence, that is, an agent once told reporters, "Brazilians never only play football, but never learn football! This is the fundamental reason why Brazilian football lags behind this era. "
Moreover, every year, the agent regularly invites some European football teachers to give lectures to Brazilian coaches in Clubs such as Cruzeiro and Palmeiras in Brazil, because after Brazilian players join big European clubs, the club will arrange special football teachers to give lectures to these players, and Brazilian players will say, "I have never heard of it before in Brazil!" In order to integrate Brazilian players into other big clubs in Europe as soon as possible, we can only ask European football teachers to teach Brazilian coaches tactics.
Today, the focus of world football is in Europe. Why are the skills and tactics of European football always in the leading position in the world football? It is such a large number of people who have been studying football. They may not be famous, or even coaches of the first team, but it is precisely because of such researchers that European football has always been in a leading position in technology and tactics. However, no one in Brazilian football has studied these at all.
So, why aren't there as many Brazilian players in the top clubs in Europe as before? It's not that Brazilian players can't do it, but that after Brazilian players come to Europe, they can't keep up with the requirements of European clubs conceptually, so it's hard to have the opportunity to become the absolute main force. Therefore, although the number of Brazilian players leaving the country still ranks first in the world in recent years, more of them go to small clubs in non-football mainstream countries in Asia or Europe, rather than directly going to the first-class top clubs in Europe.
After understanding this background clearly, what's the significance of inviting the already infamous Brazilian coach at the expense of domestic tycoons with deep pockets? Of course, when it comes to two Brazilian coaches, menezes and Lucenberg, the situation is completely different. Menezes has a good reputation, but Lucenberg has always had a bad reputation. When Luneng selected the coach, Lucenberg was once included in the candidate list, only because he learned that his character and reputation were not good, and he was directly excluded. However, I didn't expect "Big Head" Quan Jian to sign this person on his own initiative. Apart from proving that the boss is a "layman", it doesn't explain much. The bitter fruit you brew can only be "swallowed" by yourself.
"Look at the traffic in Brazil and Germany!"
When interviewing the 20 14 World Cup in Brazil, a local Brazilian fan once described it to me like this: "Although I am Brazilian, I know very well that if Brazil is not the host, it is impossible for our Brazilian team to enter the semi-finals. Losing to Germany 1 7, this result is too normal! Why? Have you ever been to Germany? You must feel the traffic situation in Germany. I stayed in Germany for a long time, driving on the main road, and I was very disciplined. This is German discipline. However, walking on the main road of Brazil will be in danger at any time. Why? Because Brazilians are used to being free and loose. Driving is the same as playing football. How can you feel safe without rules? Why can't Brazilian football play well now? It is the Germans who lack discipline. "
This Brazilian fan's words may be debatable, but there is another reason why Brazilian football lags behind the times. With the development of modern football today, the implementation of ideas and tactics is increasingly dependent on tactical discipline. In the just-concluded Champions League, although Atletico Madrid failed to win the championship in the end, it can't be compared with Bayern, Barcelona and other giants in terms of price and star's "big name" (official website data), but how can it reach the final? Strict tactical discipline, players can always resolutely implement in the game. The looseness and freedom of Brazilian players will just cause problems in tactical discipline, which will eventually lead to the team's failure to achieve the expected results.
Then compare it with the European Cup that has already started. The expansion of the European Cup may have the possibility of "water injection". However, in the games that have ended, especially those teams that are not famous or knowledgeable, they have shown high tactical literacy in the games, and the implementation of tactical discipline on the field is impressive. Perhaps, there are no big names in their team, and the value is very low, but the overall football displayed on the court is exactly what we need in China football.
What is the lack of football in China at present? Overall tactics and the discipline of executing tactics! When choosing a coach, we need a coach who strictly abides by the rules and emphasizes tactical discipline as in Western Europe. Unfortunately, the concept of "big name" is deeply rooted in the traditional culture of China. It only pays attention to fame, not to actual effect, and the selection of coaches is mainly amateurs. Coupled with political factors, it can only harm China football itself.
"Some of the most successful coaches in Brazilian football lost their jobs and slowly lost to the younger generation of coaches. The younger generation of coaches have brought the latest ideas to Brazilian football and are more willing to accept lower wages. These unemployed coaches include former Brazil national team and Real Madrid coach Rosenberg, former Brazil coach luiz felipe scolari, Maurice, Braga and former Brazil coach menezes. None of these coaches have been very successful recently. Few Brazilian teams are interested in these coaches with brilliant resumes. After leading the team to a series of frustrating achievements, they have become untrustworthy coaches, and many of them have been considered outdated and outdated. "
This is a commentary published by the Associated Press last May. Unfortunately, all the people mentioned in the article came to China! Although capital is "hot" now, what does it bring to China football?
China football needs more pragmatic western European "small" coaches to learn football!
