Let's talk about physical factors first. Football is a highly antagonistic sport, which requires a strong physical quality. Compared with westerners, orientals are physically weak but not strong, so they are obviously not suitable for football as a whole. Although you can struggle, after all, you have fallen behind physically and have no advantage in physical confrontation, especially in the second half, you are often physically exhausted, passively beaten, and the scene is embarrassing. From this perspective, the overall low level of Asian football is related to this.
Let's talk about cultural factors. The distinctive feature of China culture is that it values harmony and emphasizes harmony and defense, rather than confrontation, competition and attack. The national character and national psychology created by this cultural feature are obviously not suitable for sports that are too antagonistic. Even tall and strong China people have the same physique as westerners, but their internal antagonism is often inferior to each other. Our football team is often extremely nervous when it comes to big games and key games, not to mention games beyond its normal training level, which is obviously related to fear of confrontation. In terms of antagonism and psychological quality, our team is not only inferior to European and African teams, but even inferior to Japanese and Korean teams-because Japan has a strong bushido spirit and South Korea has a tenacious "enterprising spirit"-which is one reason why our physical condition is similar to or even better than that of Japan and South Korea, but our performance is not as good as that of Japan and South Korea. However, due to physical constraints, the author believes that Japanese and Korean football can only wander at the existing level, and it is impossible to achieve a big leap.
Third, talk about institutional factors. Since we lack physical conditions and cultural psychology, we need a better system than others to make up for it, but unfortunately, our league system is also lacking. Although the names of the Super League and the First Class have been given, and the form and pattern of the league have been established, the integrity and standardization of this system are much worse than those of the European league and Japan and South Korea. False ball and false whistle incidents occur from time to time. This is another reason why our football performance is not as good as that of Europe or Japan and South Korea.
