《English Translation》
黄刚: Oh, I've been reading the news lately, and it says that Chinese football is in trouble again. Even the youth team lost their match. It's really worrying!
陈花: You can say that again! I still remember a few years ago, the country said it would vigorously develop football and make Chinese football a global force. Now it seems that this goal is still far away.
黄刚: It sure is! So much money was invested back then, hiring foreign coaches and building football schools, but it was all for nothing. Look now, many football clubs can't even pay their players, and the players have lost their passion for the game.
陈花: I remember when Chinese football used to be quite good, with players like 容志行 and 范志毅. The Chinese team was a force to be reckoned with in Asia back then. Why is it so bad now?
黄刚: I think there are many problems, maybe it's a management issue, or maybe it's a player training issue. I heard that there used to be match-fixing in football matches, and the referees were unfair. These things are all bad for Chinese football.
陈花: You're right. To improve the level of Chinese football, you can't just throw money at it. You have to train young players well, manage football matches well, and ensure fair competition. Look at Japanese football, it's because they attach importance to developing young players that they have gradually become stronger.
黄刚: You're right! Football development can't be rushed, it has to be done gradually. I hope the country can come up with some good solutions to make Chinese football better and realize the 'football dream' sooner!
