"I've seen a lot of talented kids who are already very technical and they are doing really well on the pitch, but unfortunately I had to give them up because their character qualities are not up to the standard of professional football. One of the worst things in the world is that you have a high level of talent, but your character qualities are holding you back. Your talent and talent may open the door to professional football, but how far you can go after entering this door depends largely on a combination of your character qualities, opportunities, talents, and a range of other factors. With talent and talent alone, you won't go very far. ”

Lu Taichang: "Then how does he examine the character qualities of these children?" Is there a universal approach or metric? ”

'His personal measure is that when he sees a player, he asks seven questions in his mind.

First, what do you do when you feel that no one is watching you, no one is watching you?

The guy who stood on the sidelines and chatted with the coach, the guy who dressed like a father and talked on the phone while pacing, maybe they were all scouts who came to see the performance.

The more talented you are, the more scouts will try to find out your flaws.

How do you communicate with coaches, teammates, parents?

Do you look your coach in the eye when he talks to you?

What is your body language like when your team is unfortunate enough to fall behind in a game?

You may think that no one will pay attention to these details. Wrong! These details are all in the eyes of the scouts! These are the details that make a difference.

Second, are you one in reality and then look different on social media?

Social media is a place to show a person's character, whether you agree or not, what you post will also become the basis for others to judge you.

So think carefully before posting something on social media, if in reality you don't want people to hear something from you, then you'd better not post it online.

Don't think that scouts won't go online to investigate what you have posted, professional football is a business of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, so how can it be easy for you to enter such a big business without a comprehensive understanding of you?

Third, who are the people who have influenced you the most?

You'll become the people who influence you the most – including those you follow on social media.

Think about your friends on social media and your friends in real life, who do you hate?

Who don't you want to be associated with?

Who don't you want to be?

So as a player, put yourself in your shoes: "If a coach were standing in front of me and he was looking at the names of the people who influenced me, would he want me to be on his team?" ”

Let's be honest, because scouts and coaches really evaluate this stuff.

Fourth, are you a great team player?

Imagine if you were a scout and you went to see a kid who was said to be very talented at playing football.

You dress like a normal parent, you come to the training ground and watch him train, and indeed, his technique is excellent, and he can do every training session with ease.

But you noticed one thing: in each session, when it was his turn to practice, other teammates would pay attention to him and cheer him on, and when it was his turn to practice, he would pick up his phone and play with his head down.

His coach reminded him to put down his phone, and he did.

But the next time he will unconsciously pick up his mobile phone, as if his teammates' training has nothing to do with him.

Finally, when the training was over, the coach asked everyone to help collect the markers in the field, and when other teammates took the initiative to collect them, he quietly walked out of the field and left.

Yes, his skills are good, but will he be a good team player?

Fifth, are you able to make a good first impression on someone you meet for the first time?

Are you looking at someone when you shake hands?

Do you have a clear voice and body movements when you introduce yourself?

You have to remember that the better you play, the more people will pay attention to you – not just on your performance, but also on how you perform off the pitch, in public.

Because when you leave the pitch, you go from being a good player to being a normal person.

If you don't behave like anything that the average person can behave at this time, then when you become an adult, your career will probably not go very far.

Sixth, do you do those little things that are inconspicuous?

Anyone, whether it is a child or an adult, when he gets a certain amount of praise, he will be fluttering, he will no longer be willing to do those inconspicuous little things, he will no longer be willing to maintain a humble heart, so he will stop improving.

Will each action still be in place?

Will you also help the coach clean up the markers?

Will it be the first to come and the last to leave?

Will you still be a role model for others in your training?

These inconspicuous details often reflect a change in mindset.

Seventh, do you have gratitude?

How do you treat people who help you and care about you?

The coaches, the team-mates, the club staff, they're all helping you in some way, but they're not your servants, so say "thank you" to them and do what you can to help them.

When you are grateful, these will be seen and remembered by others.

Former Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson once said in his autobiography: "The world is full of talented people with poor character qualities. ”

Therefore, if you want to stand out, you must first pass the pass of whether your character quality is qualified.

The road chief sighed: "Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years." The devil is in the details. ”

Liu Suyun said: "Modern football is really professional, involving a lot of knowledge, such as psychology, nutrition, medicine and so on. ”

Football is science and it's not science.

The reason why it is scientific is because modern football is already a highly scientific system.

The reason why it is not science is because football is round, and many situations happen that science cannot explain.

But one thing is certain, football has developed to the present, and the selection and training must be scientific.

"Zhangzhetian Football Camp", a reality football program with a very ordinary name, has caused a sensation in the land of China with the three words of Zhangzhetian and does not need to invest much in publicity and promotion.

Its aim is to provide fair, impartial and open selection, free admission to the camp, and free access to real German youth training for young people with football dreams.
