On the morning of March 12th, the first meeting of the 14th National People’s Congress held an interview in the Great Hall of the People. Gao Zhidan, director of the State Sports General Administration, Kang Yi, director of the National Bureau of Statistics, and Wang Guanghua, minister of natural resources were interviewed.
In response to a question about how to comprehensively promote the development of the "three big balls", Gao Zhidan said that the collective ball games of football, basketball and volleyball have a large population and great social influence, and are deeply loved by the broad masses of the people, especially teenagers. The results of the three big balls are not only the outcome of a game, but also the spirit of collectivism and patriotism.
Gao Zhidan said that China’s "three big balls", especially women’s events, have achieved good results in the world. China women’s football team has won the runner-up in the Olympic Games and the World Cup, and is known as the "sonorous rose". China women’s basketball team won medals in the Olympic Games and world championships in 1980s and 1990s, and won the runner-up in the World Cup last year, showing a good momentum of continuous progress and development. China women’s volleyball team, which has been tempered through hard training, has struggled from generation to generation, winning the world championship 10 times in three world competitions and winning honor for the motherland.
However, realistically speaking, for a long time, the development of China’s three major sports, especially men’s events, was not satisfactory, and the level of men’s football declined all the way. There were many chaos in the football industry, which was in sharp contrast with the requirements and expectations of the CPC Central Committee and the people all over the country. It is a sign of a sports power that the three major goals should be achieved, and it is also a short board that we must make up to speed up the construction of a sports power.
"Recently, in view of the serious problems in the field of football, we have been deeply rethinking the methods and ways to solve them, and systematically treating them from the aspects of ideological education, work style construction, deepening reform, and doing a good job in current work, so as to regain the spirit of the Long March and do all the work in a down-to-earth manner." Gao Zhidan said, we should focus on the outstanding problems in the current work of the three big balls, such as the lack of spirit and the lack of hard work style, persist in changing the work style, strengthen responsibility and implement it, resolutely crack down on corruption and fake gambling in football and other fields, set a good example for discipline, improve the system and strengthen the rules, and comprehensively repair the good ecology of the healthy and sustainable development of the three big balls.
