PS: A small change was made at the end of the previous article.

——————————————

Ou Chuliang followed behind Yuan Weimin and sat down on a bench in the corridor.

"Xiao Ou, Xiao Xu told me that you can understand the true meaning of the Football Association's twelve-point run, but I don't think you know how it came about!"

"I want to hear about it." Ou Chuliang nodded, he really didn't know much about these decisions within the Football Association.

"That's a long story." Yuan Weimin took a deep breath and fell into the memory.

Every football city has endless stories to tell in the past 10 years, but the city of Kunming is very simple, so simple that many people can summarize it with the words "spring training" and "physical test".

In the southwestern suburbs of Kunming, next to the beautiful Dianchi Lake, there is a long causeway about 4.5 kilometers long from east to west, about 40 meters to 300 meters wide, called Haigeng.

In 1994, Chinese football became professional, and Haigeng was selected as the national football training camp. The centralized spring training is the most concentrated manifestation of China's football planning system.

Haigeng spring training can be said to be a unique scenery in Chinese football, every winter and spring, 36 domestic first-class teams gather on the shore of Dianchi Lake, this treasure land, sweat for the autumn harvest.

In 1994, the Football Association made the physical fitness test a player's eligibility criteria. Due to the problem of jobs, all teams began to attach great importance to spring training and physical testing this year, and the 12-minute run and the 5×25-meter switchback run have become another symbol of Chinese football.

On March 17, 1994, the first physical test was carried out in Kunming Tuodong Stadium.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, the Guangzhou Sun God team was the first to participate in the 12-minute running test, and only 7 of the 19 people participated in the test, and 11 people reached the passing line. The avant-garde Zhang Bing fell 2,900 meters ago, lost his qualification to participate in the league, and became the first "victim" on the altar of physical testing.

On March 15, 1995, 18 veteran international players over the age of 30, including Li Yong, Zhao Faqing and Tang Yaodong, jointly wrote to the Spring Training Office, asking for care and exemption from testing on the grounds of being old and not suitable for 12-minute running, but they were not approved.

Such an overkill model, the people mourned.

Athletes, in particular, do not understand why such a strong physical standard should be used as a basis for whether or not they can play football.

However, they didn't know that the regulations issued by the Football Association were the conclusions and suggestions obtained by Wang Junsheng after consulting more than 20 old internationals and old football people across the country after the Hongshankou Conference came to power in 92.

"After the military student just took over from Nian Weisi, he was faced with a mess that no one dared to take over." Yuan Weimin recalled.

After the humble Wang Junsheng consulted everywhere, he finally got the guidance of an old-timer.

Connecting the previous and the next, everything must be done personally, think twice before acting.

Especially in the area of football reform, how to change and where to start, Wang Junsheng and Ma can see together, and seven professors from the Beijing Institute of Physical Education went to Haigeng for a discussion.

Seven professors first went to Haigeng for a week and completed the research on the training of the men's football team during this period.

At the symposium, a small, somewhat rudimentary conference room was packed with seven professors and staff from the Football Association's spring training office. Seven well-known professors are engaged in sports training, exercise physiology, sports medicine, sports management and other fields. Three of the professors also taught Wang Junsheng when he was a student.

"Today's military rule is to listen to the opinions of the professors, please speak freely." Ma Xiang presided over the meeting.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became solemn, and no one spoke.

"Today is not an exam for students at the Sports Academy, it is a discussion! I'd like to hear how the teams are training. Two minutes later, Wang Junsheng saw that no one spoke, so he took the initiative to break the silence.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" A kinesiology professor asked.

"Of course it's true!" Wang Junsheng said loudly, "I just came to the Football Association, and I don't know anything about all aspects. I don't know why the symposium is so dull, I want to hear the real opinions from all sides! ”

"Alright then, I'll start first." The kinesiology professor fastened the cap of the hero pen in his hand and removed his glasses.

"I specialize in athletic training, and I've seen a lot of training in other sports, not just football. But the training of these football teams that I saw in Haigeng today, I, for the first time. ”

At this, the old professor's hands began to tremble with excitement. The other professors at the table also shook their heads and let out a long sigh of helplessness.

Just when Wang Junsheng and Ma could see the unknown reason, the old professor of sports science suddenly said loudly, his voice was full of sadness: "Comrade Junsheng, if you really want to hear my truth, my truth. Then I'll tell you, don't let them practice! Let's go home and fuck off! ”

"Are they training? They were playing! No, TMD isn't even fun! It's a mix! They are all wasting the country's money in vain!! ”

The old professor's face turned a little pale because of excitement, "Can this kind of training break out of Asia and go to the world?" Isn't this TMD? ”

The old professor finished speaking in one breath, and his heart continued to rise and fall because of excitement. With the help of a colleague, I took a sip of warm water, and then slowly recovered.

Ma Xiang didn't speak, and he also fell into deep thought.

"There's a lot of emphasis on 'dynamic stereotyping' in athletic training, and gymnasts, for example, are all about difficulty, height and novelty. Therefore, when the gymnastics coach trains athletes, he strictly requires the movement to be standardized and accurate, and through repeated and hundreds of times of training, the cerebral cortex is repeatedly stimulated, and finally the motivation is formed, so that high scores can be obtained in the competition. ”

"Football is the same in some ways!"

"According to our observations in the past few days, all the players are very not serious in their weekday training, let alone hard! Even the footwork of kicking the ball is irregular and inaccurate, and one out of ten shots hits the goal frame! ”

"And they all hook the ankle to pass the ball, and the pass is soft and deflected, but they often laugh at the end of the kick."

"In addition, football is a very confrontational sport, but they all play fake, and they don't really fight each other at all. Even if there is a serious kicker, after accidentally touching a companion, the other party gets up and either scolds or hits, and he doesn't take kicking seriously at all! ”

After the other professor finished speaking, the other professors also nodded frequently.

"I've seen two of this!"

"I saw it too!"

Seeing that Wang Junsheng and Ma Xiang didn't speak, another professor added: "Circle encirclement is originally a good training method, people outside pass and respond quickly, and people inside quickly grab and block quickly." ”

"But how do they kick it? Laughing, laughing, playing..."

"Alas! What do you think is going on? This is also called training? Is it any wonder that Chinese football always can't leave Asia, just with this kind of training? ”

"And then there's the issue of discipline." A sports management professor also opened his mouth, "Coaches should not only tell their players how to play, but also have their own authority. Strong authority, students are obedient, and their teaching ability will naturally go up. ”

"And now? The coach is not authoritative, the quality of training is too low, and the attitude, timeliness and intensity of the players in training are seriously failing. Not to mention that there is a big gap between the current and other countries in the world, even compared with our sixties and seventies, the training is not good! If the Football Association wants specific data, we will sort it out and hand it over to the Football Association in two days. ”

Wang Junsheng just wanted to nod his head in agreement, but another sports psychology professor picked up the conversation.

"Also, it's not just the men's soccer team that trains at this base, but also the women's softball."

"But compare the others! Same food, same conditions. The women's team smelled the chickens and exercised, hinting at training. Four trainings a day, sweating every time. Especially after dinner, I often see the women's team members working overtime under the street lights, on the side of the road, and on the side of the training ground. Don't worry about the science or not, but people are really fighting! Is it reasonable to train so hard and not get good results? ”

"But what about the men's team? These athletes have no consciousness at all, they don't sleep at night and don't wake up in the morning. It's been a week and we hardly see a football team out on the hour, let alone the morning exercise! ”

"It's time to train at three o'clock in the afternoon, and they don't get up until three o'clock. After half past three, they dragged their feet to the stadium, and their equipment was not neatly dressed. ”

"I also heard that the leader of one team even unscrewed a bottle of ginseng essence at the head of their bed to coax them to get them out of bed in order to get them up on time in the morning."

"I don't understand, why can't the coach control them? And who is backing them up? The women's softball team is so hard, why is the men's football team so lazy? ”

"Vice Chairman of the Military Cadet, what we are talking about today is all about problems. I hope you and Ma can see at the same time and don't mind, and these are also what we have seen with our own eyes, and they are all true, and they are just for your reference. ”

"As for the cause of this phenomenon, we didn't look for it, because that's your business. However, I think that with the current atmosphere, such training intensity, and such a competitive level, I think the strength of our football will not only not improve, but even continue to decline. ”

After several professors finished speaking, everyone turned their eyes to Wang Junsheng, after all, he was the steward in this room.

The professor was talking just now, and Wang Junsheng kept taking notes.

He had been studying at the Beijing Institute of Physical Education for ten years before becoming the president of the Football Association, and he did not expect that ten years after he left football, the level of training in China would drop to such a point.

These football teams almost represent the national football level, and the international players are also selected from these football teams.

Now that's the case for the senior team, what about the youth team?

If the training of the youth team is not good, ten years later, won't Chinese football be even weaker?

The Japanese and Koreans have long started to pay close attention to youth training, and if China continues like this, they will not be able to be far away from them in ten years?

So what are we going to do?

Wang Junsheng memorized to the end, and wrote a sentence in his notebook: We must improve discipline and training!

After that, Wang Junsheng convened some front-line personnel working in sports, such as team support staff, assistant coaches and physical education teachers, to have a discussion, and invited AFC Secretary-General Verappan to lead an investigation team to China for investigation and research.

With the final decision, the 12-minute run and the 5X25 switchback run came into being.

Although its appearance smashed many people's jobs, it also made some old international players feel that "crossing the river and demolishing bridges, and the evening festival is not guaranteed", and even provoked a series of bitter scolding from the people.

But under this militarized, "concentration camp"-like management, athletes' physical fitness and attitude towards football gradually rose above the passing line.

In the past two years, the national number players have at least been able to compete in physical confrontation, and they are still very comfortable in Asia.

"So, you still want to cancel the spring training, do you?" After Yuan Weimin finished speaking, he stared at Ou Chuliang's eyes tightly, waiting for his answer.

After a while, Ou Chuliang let out a long sigh: "Uncle Yuan, I don't want to cancel the spring training. I think that the 12-minute run has completed its historical mission, and we now need a newer and more scientific method to replace it! ”
