171 Happiness and sorrow
Back in Freiburg, Sunset gets a day off, but gets busy after a morning run.
Together with Lucas, he rushed to the Freiburg Academy with a camera to find the U12 coach Philippe, and after obtaining permission, he began to film the training and life of the U12s. At the same time, he was given a training manual for 6 to 12 year olds, which is the syllabus-level youth training guide provided by the German Football Association to youth training centers around the country.
"In fact, the most important thing in the initial stage of youth training is interest, if there is no interest, all the foundation no longer exists, then even if the child has good talent and body, he will not achieve anything in football. Therefore, at the beginning, the coach had to do everything possible to stimulate and intimidate the children's interest by setting up various interesting training and competitions. The other is to arrange for them to compete with children of the same age who are familiar with each other, so as to promote their interest in improving their skills..."
"Then there is the technique, the basic technique must be completed in a standard and unslackened manner, and long-term training and consolidation, which are the basis of the football game. More than 95% of the actions on the field are composed of basic passes, receiving, bursting, shooting, etc., if these are not up to standard, everything that follows is built on the sand, and it will collapse when it encounters fierce confrontation. On the contrary, as long as the basic skills are solid, even if there is a huge disparity in strength, you can complete the basic transmission, so as to slowly find a way to resist..."
"Technique training should not be independent, it cannot be said that individual passes are qualified in place, and the need to let children establish technical qualification standards from the beginning is mutual. The pass is in place but the power is not suitable to cause a teammate to stop the ball and fails, it is also not a qualified pass, the pass is good but the timing is delayed and the teammate is caught in a siege, and it is not a sub-qualified pass... We need to let the children know that technology and individuals are part of the whole team, and that only when the team runs smoothly is a good technique and individual..."
"It's all very difficult, so the academy coach needs to be patient and confident and not be fooled by the results to be successful..."
Sunset and Lucas filmed the youth echelon training and asked the youth coaches for advice at the request of the coach of an elementary school in a small mountain village where Sunset used to do physical training.
Sunset went to that beautiful mountain village twice for personal training when she was in China, and while enjoying the local scenery, she also became the scenery of a group of mountain village children, so that they were exposed to different wonderful football, and they persevered.
Later, Sunset was busy with the Chinese Super League and the subsequent German Second Division, and neglected to keep in touch, until after the warm-up match with AC Milan was broadcast in China, the coach named Ye Hongliang and the children reconnected with him, as well as some gifts of pine nuts and dried mushrooms that the children themselves picked from the mountains.
These training videos and some of the training equipment they need are gifts that Sunset will give back to them, and they also want to follow the example of Timoshchuk to build an amateur youth center in that small mountain village, organize youth competitions, and give those cute children a better training environment and competition environment.
The first step is to build a standard field and two 7-person fields, both of which are relatively low-cost artificial turf, and then build a locker room with a bathroom. Lucas also suggested a video system so that they could give advice and solve problems for training in Germany.
Then he also contacted Nie Lei's Radolfzell club, preparing to arrange for them to come here for exchange and study during the Chinese holiday.
Still, Sunset doesn't care if she makes the national team or not.
Sunset didn't expect his impromptu idea to be echoed by many people, and the Freiburg club also gave away a batch of training equipment and equipment, including medical equipment that Sunset hadn't considered. In addition to recording action demonstration videos and presenting signed jerseys, the teammates also donated nearly 100,000 euros in several hundred thousand euros.
This made Sunset want to bear the burden on herself, and it was not suitable for more casual construction, so she consulted around and finally came up with a formal plan, and entrusted Zheng Jianxin in China to be responsible for the implementation, and regularly fed back the progress and expenditure to the relevant personnel.
On September 1, Sunset and Xia Qianqian travel to Borussia Mönchengladbach, where Schweinsteiger will make his debut in the warm-up match between Germany and Finland on September 1 as his farewell match for the national team. Schweinsteiger specially invited him and two Bayern veterans from the Freiburg team, Peterson and Wagner, to participate.
After watching Schweinsteiger's farewell match and attending his reception, he spent the night in Borussia Mönchengladbach before returning to Freiburg on the morning of 2 September for a warm-up match against Swiss side Lucerne in the afternoon.
Due to the distraction of chores throughout the week and the extra physical effort, Sunset is in a very poor state. Not only did there be no sharp breakaways, there were few dangerous passes, and a succession of goals led to Freiburg's first goal, and Streich burst into a rage to replace him on 37 minutes.
Ignoring the public opinion that attacked him for his level and professionalism, Sunset realized that he could never relax to maintain his level, and in addition to admitting his mistakes to his coach, he began to put everything down and concentrate on training.
Xia Qianqian's father Xia Donglin from the Mountain Village Amateur Youth Training Center took over, and Xia Qianqian also undertook a lot of liaison work. However, in addition to this, I couldn't get a good face again in the Xia family, so I had to call and devote more time to training.
In the warm-up match against Lucerne, substitute Grifo did well, scoring one goal and participating in another. It is widely believed that Sunset's main position is basically in danger.
On September 10, Freiburg's first home game of the new season against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Sunset appeared on the bench and Griffo started.
In the first round of matches, Borussia Mönchengladbach beat Bayer Leverkusen 2:1 at home, and Freiburg tied for fifth place with three points.
In the international break between this round, Schweinsteiger, Abrahi and Ian Wiwski all played in their respective national team matches, and they all sat on the bench with Sunset in this round. Grifo, Stenzel, Niederlechner, and new signing Brut got the chance to start.
"I heard that Loew talked to you, what do you think?"
Schweinsteiger, accustomed to the wind and rain, did not take sitting on the bench seriously at all, but was very enthusiastic to inquire about an incident that happened when he attended the reception dinner.
Sunset was not as open-minded as Schweinsteiger, and stared nervously at the development of the situation on the court, as she replied:
"Coach Loew is just polite, how can I take it seriously, and I played in the last game..."
Sunset didn't say anything, just shook her head. Schweinsteiger patted him on the shoulder and smiled:
'It's good for young people to suffer a little bit, it's weird that you have to play well all the time, it's good to have problems in the warm-ups, don't worry too much. Everyone can see your attitude, and that coach won't completely give up on anyone because of a mistake... Also, as far as I know, Loew is serious, go back and think about it..."
