Training teenagers to play soccer and reforming the current system are the two keys for the development of soccer in China, said Jack Ma, Alibaba founder and chairperson.

He adds that he will help China become one of the World Cup teams again within 10 to 20 years by introducing market mechanism into the whole soccer system in the country.
