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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

Remember I've seen a video tape of a Scotland-England match and I've seen him miss a chance from five yards. It was against England and he couldn't score. So what does that say?
