So it would be a good thing for Chinese parents to instill enthusiasm among their kids for football. It's a great game, not only regarding the emotions behind it, but it's also a game for young people to gain experience of working in a bigger group and work to achieve goals.

China needs a table-tennis-like solidity in football.

First of all, it would be great for world football to have a competitive Chinese team as China traditionally has deep relation to sports in general.

I think in China, they know you have to have a solid nationwide plan. It does not help to have a football hotspot in the north or the south.

Without a healthy team spirit you won't get anywhere in football.

China has great potentials; the people are hard-working and focused. But they have to close the gap as far as the pace of the game is concerned. Football in the future will get faster and faster.

You need players that stand for emotion in football. Football today is a game for television.
