Nie Weiping's wishes to Chinese football

Nie Weiping's wishes to his beloved Chinese football: "It is not frightening to lag behind the advanced countries in certain respects. What matters is having the drive to catch up. If ten years are not enough, then make it twenty; if twenty are not enough, then fifty; if fifty are not enough, then a hundred; and if a hundred are not enough, then five hundred. Sooner or later, the day will come when we catch up with—and surpass—you. The Chinese nation must have the capacity to stand on its own among the nations of the world."
