140 International Junior Invitational Tournament
I didn't expect the Chubei Youth Championship to attract so much attention, especially after entering the knockout round, the 3,000-person stadium in the training camp is often not enough, and even the 12,000-person stadium in the Jinyuhu Training Center can be full in the finals of all age groups, which is completely unexpected.
After entering the knockout round, the players have generally improved significantly, especially in terms of will and concentration, which is actually more valuable than the training value of playing against European teams, which is also something that Lin Wenlei did not expect.
On this issue, Jiangxia Flame also organized a special discussion. The conclusion is that the official game is more important to the players than the warm-up game and friendly match, especially in front of family, friends and fans. After dispersing the players, they are all placed high hopes on the team and fans, becoming the core players, and the sense of honor and the pressure of elimination fully squeeze the potential of the players, so the improvement is naturally fast.
Also discussed was this fan support, which is believed to be the universal community influence of Euroleagues. The team no longer has nothing to do with the fans, not only the team in their own city, but also the relatives, friends and classmates around the fans themselves, so the fans have a stronger sense of participation and are naturally chased by the baton.
On the other hand, Huang Jianxiang of the sports channel also put forward a point of view, that is, the delicate and smooth cooperation of the Chubei Youth Championship is in stark contrast to the traditional football of Huaguo. That's why it's so popular, so much so that its influence has spread to provinces and cities outside northern Chu with the interview of China Television.
Therefore, in addition to shocking the support of fans, including the Sports Committee, it also strongly supports the implementation of the youth league as soon as possible, consolidating these enthusiastic fans, and maintaining the good football atmosphere in Chubei.
Lin Wenlei and the club's general manager Schmitt are also very supportive of this kind of pass, because there is a training camp stadium to protect the venue, and the team is also ready-made, so this kind of league is very convenient to organize, and the organization plan was quickly formulated.
Another gain of this game is the sports channel, the football events close to local life attracted viewers also surprised them, it seems that the concept of Chubei people watching Chubei's games is successful, at least the sports channel has made a good start. They also hope to run the youth league as soon as possible, and this time they are much more willing to pay for the broadcast rights.
With the common enthusiasm of all parties, the cross-year Chubei Youth League has made rapid progress.
However, Lin Wenlei is still in the habit of throwing trouble to Schmitt, and he is more concerned about the problems exposed by the U16s in the game.
"It's all good this time, it's good, but it's not that there is no problem, anyway, you know that I only see the problem, so I won't pretend, just spray..."
Lin Wenlei's frankness made the team members laugh, and then listened to Lin Wenlei's comments with some apprehension. Lin Wenlei pointed to his brain and said unceremoniously:
"Playing football with your brain is all about old talk, and it's usually the same thing, why do you throw away your brain when you fight? The ball that pokes out and fights for the top doesn't matter the direction? As long as you push out of your own area, you don't care if other teammates live or die?..."
Lin Wenlei said that the players were struggling and struggling to clear the siege, and they didn't care about the problem of the ball being pushed out there. Usually, because there is Zheng Zhi in the backcourt and Cai Rongyu in the frontcourt, the goal is clear, so this problem is not obvious. This time, because the team was scattered and the cooperation was not familiar enough, many backcourt players cleared the siege in a panic, first got the ball out of their own defense area, and then said, giving the opponent many times to get two penalties and counterattack on the spot.
"Coach, the main thing is usually directly to Zheng Zhi, this time there is no goal, I forgot it in a panic, I will pay attention to it in the future."
The centre-back, Sheikh, took the initiative to come forward and admit his mistake. However, Lin Wenlei didn't want to let go of this problem easily.
"Then what if you don't team up with Zheng Zhi in the future? Can you just kick around? If you want to control the game, you have to have this awareness at all times, not only in attack, but also in defense. When scrambling, you should also put the awareness of controlling the game to the front. In addition, this problem is not only for the scramble, the whole team should have the sense of cooperation, teammates fight a little, but also run to respond, give him the easiest choice after the top out, the more you give the scramble player, the easier it will be for him to complete. You have to have the awareness of possession and receiving the ball all over the court, not only when attacking and defending, but also when scrambling..."
Having said so much, the main thing is to solve the problem of unconscious clearance when players scramble, this kind of unconscious scrambling is easy to give the opponent the opportunity to besiege and attack continuously, and it is also an old problem of Chinese football.
Unlike other teams, other Chinese teams are forced to choose big foot clearance and unconscious scramble and scramble because they have no ability to control the ball. The two teams of the Youth Games can completely control the ball, but Lin Wenlei can't bear to panic as soon as he plays the game, although he knows that this is a bad problem that the players have developed after watching Chinese football since they were children, and they are about to become DNA genes.
No matter how bad it is, Lin Wenlei has to get rid of this problem, Huaguo football has suffered countless losses, and the more it clears the siege, the more it is suppressed, and then this continuous tension oppresses the player to break the string at a certain moment, be scored or make a big mistake, which is the old routine of Huaguo football.
Lin Wenlei doesn't want this problem to appear in his team, and his players obviously have the ability to control the ball, so it's just a bad habit.
When he was concentrating on solving this problem, the sports committee approached him again, hoping that the Youth Games U16 could participate in the warm-up match against North Korea U16.
North Korea's U16 also arranged this warm-up match nearby because of the 14-year Asian Junior Championship qualifiers to Jiangxia, in order to prepare for the qualifier group stage to be held in September.
Lin Wenlei originally couldn't ask for this kind of game opportunity, but it coincided with the visiting Donetsk Shakhtar U16 game time, and Lin Wenlei had to refuse.
This attracted Luo Changhai to come over to do work, first talked about the traditional friendship, and said that the warm-up of the Youth Games U16 has the significance of spying on the military situation for the country's youth, all in all, I hope to participate. Seeing Luo Changhai's embarrassment, Lin Wenlei had no choice but to agree, and at the same time explained that he had to send a substitute to play this warm-up game.
Shakhtar Donetsk U16 arrived to participate in the Jiangxia International Youth Invitational Tournament organized by Neumann commissioned by Jiangxia Flames, as well as the U16s and U13s of Bayer Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid, Marseille, Gremio, River Plate and PSV Eindhoven. The eight teams will be divided into two groups to determine the top four teams, followed by two knockout matches.
The youth team of the Under-16s and Shakhtar Donetsk, Gremio and PSV Eindhoven in one group.
It is expensive to organize such a warm-up match system, Jiangxia Flame has to bear the cost of the seven teams to come to China, and also set up the top three prizes of 50, 30 and 150,000 euros.
Instead of using the travel-style warm-up matches of previous years, the use of the tournament system is to learn from the experience of the Chubei Youth Championship, make the game more stressful, and have greater training value for the players.
