China’s National Team Trains So Gently, People Thought It Was Team Building

China’s national football team has unveiled what may be the world’s least stressful training program, just compare China and South Korea

The most-liked reaction simply called it an icebreaker game, the kind of activity your manager organizes before everyone goes out for hot pot.

Some viewers said the training was easier than elementary school PE,advising that the training looks pretty fun so that kindergardens nation-wide should take note.

Others asked whether the Chinese team was doing rehabilitation, but was quickly retorted that rehabilitation training for women who gave birth isn’t even this easy. Rumors then started to fly that perhaps the Chinese players are still pregnant hence the reduced intensity.

There was also an important warning for Chinese football officials: do not let them see South Korea’s equipment. Otherwise, they may discover a new reason to request funding, and make the money disappear.

So while South Korea appears to be preparing for international competition, China’s national team appears to be preparing for an annual corporate retreat.

Title: Why Does China’s National Team Train Like It’s a Company Icebreaker? 😭

Script:

Okay, this video compares China’s national team training on the left VS South Korea’s national team training on the right.

and the difference is honestly painful.

The Chinese internet is back trying to reason what the Chinese team was doing:

“Who called for an icebreaker game? These fellas’ first day on the job?”

to that someone replied: “Nah some companies’ team building games are even more energetic than the Chinese team”

And now I can’t unsee it now. It doesn’t look like professional football training. It looks like something HR makes you do before the company dinner.

Other people in the comments were drawing parellels with school life: ~ “This is easier than high school Physical Education class.”

“My dad teaches his elementary students the same exercises”

“Actually, the Chinese team’s training looks pretty fun. Kindergardens nation-wide should take note”

Ok I know the bar is getting lower but I wasn’t expecting kindergarden level to count.

Then somebody tried to be generous and asked:

“Is the Chinese team doing rehabilitation training for injuries?”

But the replies said:

1st “Rehabilitation training for women who gave birth isn’t even this easy.”

2nd “They are tip-toeing and exceedingly careful. Are they not pregnant themselves?”

3rd “Damn, the left side will probably struggle getting onto the award podium even if they win”

Those are pretty cold burns.

And honestly, if China’s football officials ever see the Korean equipment, somebody needs to hide this video.

Because one comment warned:

“Don’t let the national team see all that equipment. They’ll ask for more funding, buy everything…and still never use it.”

Then the comments started debating the real Chinese football philosophy:

“Training is not as important as eating well.” And the reply?

“Eating well is not s important as getting a raise.”

At this point, the Chinese comment section is orking harder than the Chinese team.

South Korea is training for the World Cup.

I’m sorry, China is training for the annual company retreat.
