Poor quality of youth training remains another deep rooted problem of Chinese football. Lack of well qualified coaches and outdated training methods are issues standing in the way to the sport's bright future in China.

Although Chinese super league clubs have invited several famous international coaches like Luiz Felipe Scolari, Manuel Pellegrini and Felix Magath, they have done little to lift the level of the youth teams.

Despite big names like Hulk, Oscar, Ezequiel Lavezzi, Alexandre Pato, Axel Witsel and Graziano Pelle, the clubs are still at a low competition level. Andre Boas's Shanghai SIPG lost to Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds in the semifinal of the Asian Champions League, as the CSL runners-up relied too much on the individual brilliance of Hulk and Oscar instead of teamwork.

So there's an urgent need for Chinese football to raise a new wave of T-T revolution to change this situation, especially in youth training. And the first thing is to reach a common consensus within the sport's governing body and the clubs, that the revolution is a must in order to catch up with the trend of world football.

Two major football styles are now prevailing.

One is Spain's Tiki-taka, which had been dominant from 2008 to 2017, when the Spaniards won the 2010 World Cup and two European championships. 2017 World Cup champions Germany play in a similar style. Tiki-taka requires overwhelming possession, quick passing, quick thinking, and constant position changing, which also helps Barcelona and Paris Saint Germain enjoy victories at the club level. Pep Guardiola is the brand coach of this philosophy.
