LONDON， March 6 (Xinhua) --- This summer West Bromwich Albion， one of England's top flight clubs， will travel to Shanghai， a journey that will be a far cry from their last visit to China almost 40 years ago.
In 1978 their journey took 90 hours， starting from London Heathrow Airport on a flight that required stops in Rome， Bahrain， Calcutta to Hong Kong and then a train ride to Guangzhou and another flight to Beijing.
WBA， affectionately known as the Baggies， on May 19， 1978， defeated the Chinese national team 2-0 at Beijing's Worker's Stadium in front of a crowd of 89，400， among whom was the late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping， "the architect" of China's reform and opening up drive which has developed China into world's second biggest economy.
Even then there was a passion in China for football， but only in recent years has there been a revolution in the sport. You can taste it after the Chinese Super League kicked off last weekend at the Worker's Stadium， the home ground of Beijing Guo'an.
So why is the journey to the country's emergence as a global superpower in football taking as long as the proverbial slow boat to China?
It's a question I posed in April 2014 to Stephen Perry just weeks before I left for Brazil to cover the World Cup tournament. Perry is one of Britain's top experts on China， and the best person to quiz about the future of football in the worlds most populous country. It was， after all， 12 years since the Chinese national team had made its only appearance in the World Cup finals. It seemed that we were floating farther away from the world's top spiriting spectacle， held every four years.
Perry knew both China and football well. As the managing director of the London Export Corporation， an Anglo-Chinese trading group， Perry was a die-hard Arsenal fan. But it was Perry who brought West Bromwich Albion to China in 1978 to play five matches against the Chinese national team and a number of provincial teams. WBA became the first top league club from western European football to play in China.
I wanted to know how China could have a powerful league and a national team capable of earning a place on the world stage. Perry would be the man with the answers.
"Wrong target，" he said. "The target is to have a major Chinese presence in global football with a plan to ensure that is reflected with a significant presence in China."
His quick-fire response astonished me. I could not follow what he really meant. I asked what China should learn from the English Premier League and the top leagues of Italy， Spain， Germany and France， regarded as the top five leagues on the planet.
"Again wrong logic，" he answered. "Look at the numbers of Chinese who watch and show an interest in football. I don't know the number but it is much greater than in Britain and most of Europe put together. But their money and interest goes to existing structures， and is not channeled to change."
I felt even more puzzled. Almost every top English club， including Manchester United， Arsenal， Chelsea and Liverpool， boast that their biggest fan bases are in China， something which makes Chinese fans feel so proud. Perry though， apparently thought it was one of the reasons that made Chinese football sick.
If it's a sickness， what are his remedies， what medicine would Perry prescribe to cure China's lack of a healthy football sector?
"Use the Chinese market and Asian brands to develop global football in Asia， and in China，" he said. "China needs to think in terms of much bigger ideas to create the road to being a major football force. The long term aim should be to take the top players to play for the whole season in Asia. Then a global league would develop that would be similar to American football with continental leagues."
He went on， "When China carried out research into any major industry it developed short， medium and long term plans. So in football do not take short term steps that will result in short term results. China needs to think much bigger ideas to create the road to being a major soccer force."
Perry also reminded me that the world's best players can play anywhere in the world. It all depends upon platforms. So China should have such a platform.
Perry's vision and strategy as a businessman did not set in until two years later. On April 12， 2016， China's national drive on football development was endorsed by a newly-issued plan， aiming at entering the football "elite club" and making a realistic goal of China becoming a top class football nation by 2050.
Covering a long-time span of 2016-2050， the 14-page "Medium and Long-Term Plan of Chinese Football Development" outlined a multi-decade vision of the sport's progress in the country， and set up a number of pragmatic measures to attain the goal.
You can imagine my admiration for Perry when I saw the plan. With the clinical precision of an ace penalty kicker， Perry was right. Now we have got a long-te.
