Progressing to where you can play a big role in football is nothing you can achieve in just two years. It will at least take five, six, well more likely seven years. A once-in-a-life-time success does not help you, constant quality is what you have to go for.

Being successful means good results for the national team at first in the regional competitions like the Asian Cup and keeping in mind to go for Gold at a World Cup in the future.

Football is my life. I guess I can't live without it.

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.

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.

Success is not winning the World Cup. It may be a goal in your mind but success is having a team that is improving all the time.

Football is a game that fascinates people around the World like nothing else.
