美国知乎高分回答为什么印度足球差发人深省

1.我们不关心

我们喜欢通过思考这样的事情并提出可能的理由，听起来很有知识，但底线是大多数印度球迷并不是印度足球的球迷。这就是伤害我们的原因。这个国家的年轻人是一群曼联/巴塞罗那/皇马/等的支持者。他们中很少有人能说出印度国家队的首发11人。我们中的大多数人对我们最喜欢的欧洲俱乐部了如指掌，从一线队成员到最年轻的学院球员，但对印度足球的了解却仅限于苏尼尔-切特里。

最近对足球最大的打击之一是，在联邦体育预算中分配给足球的资金几乎减半。这项运动在国内的受欢迎程度与政府对它的重视程度之间的关系越来越反常，乍一看是这样。但是，多年来，人们对印度足球的兴趣基本保持不变，这能怪他们吗？只有对欧洲足球的兴趣在成倍增长。

2.无人问津

这是一个为板球疯狂的国家。或者说，它已经成为一个国家。在50年代和60年代，足球实际上是更受欢迎的运动，但在印度赢得83年板球世界杯后，角色发生了逆转，而且看起来从未改变。板球是一项很小的运动，大约有5个国家在任何时候都有真正的竞争力。赢得世界杯后，印度一定很看好自己的机会，把所有的资源和注意力都放在这项运动上。现在，我们与IPL、这项运动中的资金和BCCI在国际板球中的影响力相差太远。因此，与其他运动（尤其是足球）相比，成为一名板球运动员的回报现在太大，太大。这导致了...

3.社会和父母的压力

作为一名板球运动员，尤其是国家队的板球运动员，是有魅力和威望的。你是Ranji Trophy球队的一名击球手？很好。你是孟买印度队的击球手？很好! 你为印度队击球？很好!

你是Dempo的前锋？最好退出并获得一个学位。

父母希望他们的孩子富有，希望在其他父母面前炫耀（这就是印度父母的做法）。除非你正走在成为伟大的板球运动员的道路上，否则你会被积极地阻止从事体育活动，而除了学习之外，其他的都不被接受。这并不奇怪，甚至在板球兴起之前，这个国家就把 "教育 "等同于 "成绩和分数"。

经常找的借口

1.印度人其他人那样有运动能力

我认为这是胡说八道。首先，我们的运动能力并不差--人们一直在为我们赢得奥运奖牌。第二，足球并不是关于高大强壮的家伙。布斯克茨、阿隆索、哈维、伊涅斯塔、席尔瓦、法布雷加斯--这些人在欧锦赛决赛中以4-0的比分获胜。完全有可能在一个没有高度、没有肌肉的团队中取得成功。事实上，现在是技术型足球运动员的时代。一直以来，英格兰在国际上都很失败，因为他们总是更重视运动员，而不重视技术和传球者。我们没有理由不拿出11名技术熟练的球员--只要克服真正的原因。

2.印度太热了

胡说八道。那为什么非洲国家如此优秀？亚亚-图雷、德罗巴、卡卢、埃辛等等都不是在瑞士长大的。还有像俄罗斯这样的国家（他们目前领先葡萄牙1分，有两场比赛在手），一年中有些时候太冷了，无法比赛。

3.印度缺乏设施

是的，但足球不需要设施。这不是高尔夫或网球，它是一项普通人的运动。有史以来最好的足球国家，巴西，充满了在贫困中长大的球员。同时，英格兰的顶级设施充斥其间，而他们在小组赛中的控球率还不如阿尔及利亚多。设施和球员质量之间没有关系（这也是足球的魅力之一）。

事实上，你从整个南美和非洲听到了很多关于苏亚雷斯或德罗巴（他在停车场学习足球）等球员的故事，他们出生贫穷，受到关注，现在是大人物。印度没有这样的故事，因为如前所述，足球是不鼓励的。

以下是原文：

We don't careWe like to sound intellectual by pondering over such things and coming up with probable reasons, but the bottom line is that the majority of Indian football fans are not fans of Indian football. This is what is hurting us. The country's youth are a bunch of Man United/Barcelona/Real Madrid/etc supporters. Very, very few of them can name the Indian national team's starting 11. Most of us know our favourite European club inside out right from the first team squad members to the youngest academy player, but knowledge of Indian football is limited to Sunil Chhetri.One of the biggest recent slaps in the face for football was when the money allocated for football was almost halved in the Union Budget for sports. The relation between popularity of the sport in the country and the attention given to it by the government just gets more and more inverse, or so it seems at first glance. But can you blame them when interest for Indian football has remained pretty much the same over the years? It's only interest in European football that's risen exponentially.Nobody else caresThis is a cricket-crazy nation. Or rather, it has become one. Football was actually the more popular sport in the 50s and 60s, but after India won the '83 cricket world cup, the roles reversed and never looked like changing. Cricket is a tiny sport with about 5 nations who are really competitive at any given time. After winning the world cup, India must have fancied its chances with such odds, and pumped all resources and attention to this one sport. Now we're too far gone with the IPL, the money in the sport and the clout BCCI has in international cricket. As a result, the reward of being a cricketer, in comparison with other sports (and especially football) is now too, too big. Which leads to...Societal and parental pressureThere's glamour and prestige associated with being a cricketer, especially for the national team. You are a batsman for a Ranji Trophy team? Good. You are a batsman for Mumbai Indians? Great! You bat for India? Shabaash!You are a striker for Dempo? Better quit and get a degree.Parents want their children to be rich and want bragging rights over other parents (that's what Indian parents do). Unless you are on the road to being a great cricketer, you are actively discouraged from pursuing sports, and nothing other than studying is accepted. This is not surprising when even before cricket took off, this country equated "education" with "grades and marks".

THE BULLSHIT REASONS:

We aren't as athletic as othersI call BS. First, we are not less athletic - people have been winning Olympic medals for us. Second, football isn't about tall, strong fellows. Busquets, Alonso, Xavi, Iniesta, Silva, Fabregas - this crew walked the EURO final 4-0. It's perfectly possible to succeed with a height-lite, unmuscled bunch. As a matter of fact, this is the era of the technical footballer. England have been failing internationally all this time because they always attached more value to the athlete and less to the skilled and the passers. There's no reason we can't come up with 11 technically skilled players - provided the Real Reasons are overcome.It's too hotRubbish. Why are African nations so good then? Yaya Toure, Drogba, Kalou, Essien etc didn't grow up playing in Switzerland. And there are countries like Russia (who are presently a point ahead of Portugal with two games in hand) where it's too cold to play at times of the year.We lack facilitiesYes, but football doesn't need facilities. This isn't golf or tennis, it's a common man's sport. The best footballing nation of all time, Brazil, is full of players who grew up in poverty. Meanwhile, England is filled to bursting with top notch facilities and they can't get more possession than Algeria in a group stage game. There is no relation between facilities and player quality (which is one of the beautiful things about football)You hear so many stories from all of South America and Africa in fact, about players like Luis Suarez or Didier Drogba (he learnt football playing in a parking lot) who were born poor, got noticed and are now big names. India doesn't have such stories because, as said before, football is discouraged.
