Why Asian teams are less developed compared to other areas?

The disparity is too great between the regional football platforms. 

Over the past two decades, since FIFA increased the number of teams participating in the World Cup to 32, it is not difficult to predict the names representing Asia. Even predicted probability can be up to 100%.

The names that often appear include Japan, Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran. When Australia joined the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), the Kangaroo team and the other four teams participated regularly in the largest playground on the planet.

After several years of hard work, grueling traveling schedules, and thorough preparations. But the fact that none of these four teams won the 12 matches between them highlighted the falling in football in the region. Obviously, compared to other regions in the world with the same number of teams, the difference between the teams that regularly attend the World Cup in Asia is too large compared to the rest of the region and Asian football is less developed. Therefore, these teams have not been challenged severe enough to create effective tests to assess most objectively the development.

And here are exactly 6 factors that undermine Asian football?

1. Human factors

The Japanese team has a relatively equal number of players playing abroad

One of the factors that contribute to Asian football’ s less developed on the achievement of a national team in major tournaments is the human factor. Outstanding individuals will create mutations in the necessary matches, this is not to mention the physical disadvantages. In particular, they help the coaches shape the playing style in order to build a suitable strategy around them.

Asian teams do not seem to be appreciated about the human element. They do not have enough stars to compete with other teams in the world. Looking at the list of players in teams, many will find that the chances of achieving high results for them seem not much.

The Japanese team is perhaps the most even of the remaining Asian teams in terms of the number of players competing abroad. They can easily mention as Shinji Kagawa, Keisuke Honda, Nagatomo, Shinji Okazaki, Hiroki Sakai, Gaku Shibasaki...

The strength of the football team depends mainly on Kagawa, Honda. However, the Japanese team stars are also very difficult to make mutations. While Kagawa became his own shadow after leaving Man Utd, Honda is "nursing" in Mexico.

Another notable team in Asia is South Korea. Unlike Japan, South Korea owns a world-class Son Heung - min. Last season in the English Premier League, the audience was mesmerized by the way the Tottenham striker made miserable so many world-famous defenders. It is no exaggeration to say that Son is becoming the No. 1 star in Asia today.

However, he became the only notable name on the Korean team. The rest of the players are mostly domestic players or unemployed like Ki Sung-Yeung. A hard swallow makes spring float. Unfortunately, in the national team, Son will not have the cult satellites next to that in Spurs.

Son Heung-min just had a great season in England

The situation of the Australian team is more tragic than the two teams above. Since the era of the generation of Mark Viduka, Harry Kewell, Mark Schwarzer, the Kangaroo football team seems to be running out of talent.

The only star they are expecting now is none other than 38-year-old Tim Cahill. He is the same generation with the names "once upon a time" mentioned above. So how deep does the Australian team go if they only hope for a player who has been in their forties?

The remaining teams Iran and Saudi Arabia do not have a bright enough name for Asian fans to believe in a positive achievement in the World Cup.

Looking at the human factor, there are very few outstanding names in Asia compared to the rest.

2. Lack of competition

It’s necessary to look at the level of competition these teams face. Living in China, it is easy to see why they are failing to find or produce 11 players of sufficient quality in a nation of 1 billion- the next reason why  Asian football’s less developed. 

There is an alarming lack of recreational facilities. The cost of renting a pitch is also sky high. Furthermore, kids spend most of their youths endlessly doing exams and trying to increase their schooling. 

For those who subscribe to Malcolm Gladwell’s 10,000 hours theory, these two factors greatly diminish the chances of somewhere like China, India or South Korea producing players of a sufficient standard to compete in the World Cup. Simply put, young people have nor the time, money or facilities to get to the required level.

3. Match-fixing

The match-fixing syndicates have badly damaged the game in Asia- dishonest activity to make sure that one team wins a particular sports match. Most of these shadowy figures come from places such as Macau and Singapore. Corruption is ever-present in society in Asia as it is in the rest of the world and this has inevitably wormed its way into soccer in the region in the form of match-fixing. Again taking China as an example, the culture of not losing “face” is prevalent. Since face has been lost, soccer has lost significant ground to other sports such as basketball.

4. Poor domestic leagues

The standards of the domestic leagues- Asian football leagues are not good enough and Asian football’s less developed and this is intertwined with the poor level of coaching in populous soccer-crazy countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. The Middle East has some rich soccer history and has produced good players in the past. Iranian soccer suffers severely from sanctions and has resorted to playing ultra-defensive soccer that will not get them very far in the long run.

Similarly in the Far East and Australia, the domestic leagues have serious problems and there is a lack of quality. Guangzhou Evergrande is the champions of Asia, but they rely mainly on a Brazilian named Elkeson to score the goals, who was nowhere near Brazil set up even if Fred and Jo are there main strikers. 

In addition to this, Guangzhou coach Marcello Lippi has claimed his South Korean center half Kim, is “good enough to play for Manchester United”. Not on the evidence of this World Cup, particularly the Algeria match. The competition is just not good enough – the reasons being outlined above.

5. Too few footballers play abroad

The U.A.E. played some outstanding Asian football team in the 2012 Olympics. However, none of these players moved on from the Middle East because the finance on offer is astronomical to the best players. Omar Abdulrahman, who was outstanding in the tournament and had trials with Man City, is still playing in the domestic league with Al-Ain two years later. 

The foreign imports in this region are on eye-watering salaries that are killing the league. Paradoxically, the money on offer stops the best homegrown players from leaving and testing themselves elsewhere. Take Yaya Toure for example. He has played in Cote D’ Ivoire, Belgium, Ukraine, France, Spain, and England. The access to so many different styles of soccer can only benefit players.

Above are the possible reasons why Asian football tends to be at disadvantage compared with other regions and  Asian football’s less developed.
