Although the U21 is over, more than 30 local youth teams stationed in the Honghe training base in Kunming, Yunnan Province have not left. The U21 league is just one of the purposes for which they train intensively, and in fact, the 24 youth teams of the First Division are concentrated here mainly to prepare for the new season. Such intensive training, whether in Kunming Haigeng or Honghe, can be said to be a continuation of the era of China's football planned economic system, and has become a characteristic of Chinese football. I'm afraid that there are not many football associations in the world that forcibly gather all professional clubs in a certain "concentration camp" surrounded by barbed wire and security guards to arrange training and physical fitness tests, right? This can be regarded as professional football with Chinese characteristics.

This week, almost all the teams at the Red River base have scheduled their training programs as physical training. The reason is simple, their head coaches, including many assistant coaches, have gathered in the large activity center of the base to listen to the classes. What lessons? Qiu Suhui, head coach of the youth team of Henan Zhongyuan Club, the new champion of the U21 League, gave a lecture on "How to Cultivate Young Players Correctly and Effectively".

"Football is not only the number one sport in the world, but also a source of joy for hundreds of millions of fans. It's also important for us youth football coaches and players to be happy. Coaches should do everything possible to increase the interest of young players in football. Albert Einstein once said, 'Hobbies are the best teachers.' This statement applies to all conditions, including football. ”

"The most basic and important way to develop the interest of the players is to start with regular training. For coaches who will only take a textbook and let their players train chapter by chapter, in the order of the table of contents above, they are killing the children's enthusiasm for football. It's very dangerous for boring training to make players lose concentration in training. Because it will lead to unreasonable technical movements, which will lead to injury. When a player is locked in a battle with an injury, how can he be interested in football? ”

A group of coaches, young and old, took notes carefully in the audience. After all, Qiu Suhui's resume is simply incomparable to many of them, and seeing how good he is at taking the unknown Henan Youth Team into the national U21 championship within half a year, you know how good he is.

"A good youth football coach should be able to arrange training with skill and fun. Let the players receive the training content with high intensity in a pleasant atmosphere. This kind of training is many times better than those training methods that blindly repeat the same content and the form remains the same. ”

……

"A week isn't really long, but it should help you avoid some of the mistakes you make in training. This kind of mistake is not even aware of you, and it is this subtle mistake that is the most harmful, and I beg your pardon for my alarmism, which is indeed the case. For example, the belief that players should play on the field as soon as they come up, or the belief that physical fitness is more important than individual skills, and that the team is more important than the individual, limits the individual's individual performance in training. This is especially true in China, and why is it that we haven't had that kind of player who is personally skilled and creative for a long time? ”

"Here's another example: modern football people have become obsessed with formations, and before a game, we often hear a coach say that they will play in a 442 or 352 formation. The news media publicized it, and we saw it and thought it was a normal scene. Then when the team lost, the coach would announce the switch to the 433 formation for the next game, and we still accepted it without suspicion, thinking that the coach had finally found the crux of the loss, and then the victory would follow. But in reality? Qiu Suhui spread his hands and pursed his lips, with a full European expression.

"At the World Cup in the United States in '94, after Brazil won the world championship with their classic 442 formation, the world began to pop 442, to what extent? Even women and children who know little about football mention football, and the first word that pops up is "442". In the 02 World Cup, the Brazilian team relied on 352 to win the championship, and then achieved a new round of popularity, but this time it was 352 that was popular. Now if someone talks about 442, they will be laughed at as tactically conservative! How ridiculous! ”

"Why no one wants to think about it, Brazil in 94 has Dunga as an iron gate, there is the best goalkeeper in Brazilian history Taffarel, Pereira insists on defensive play, although it kills Brazil's artistic football, but relies on Dunga, relies on the defensive tactics of the Brazilian team, and relies on the 'golden combination' of Romario and Bebeto in the front court. And in 02, everyone set their sights on 3R and put it on the double card. But no one saw the excellent form of Brazil's three centre-backs, and no one saw the frantic tackles of the two little-known midfielders. It was as the game progressed and Brazil's defense gradually got into shape that they finally won the championship. ”

"But these are overlooked in the aura of victory, and in the event of defeat, the formation is likely to bear the brunt of the formation as a tool used by the coach or the players to shirk their responsibilities. When the team had problems, I thought that everything would be fine as long as I changed the formation and personnel. But in fact, it is not so simple, of course, I am not saying that you have to stick to a formation. Football attaches great importance to tactical thinking, and the so-called various formations are just bottles used to hold the wine of tactics. Not considering the problem of its own tactical thinking, but only making a fuss about the formation, is just old wine in a new bottle, and there is nothing new. ”

There was a slight twitch in the audience, and the problems Qiu Suhui said really didn't seem to be called problems in their usual eyes, but they didn't expect Qiu Suhui to be so little, and they felt that there were problems everywhere.

Qiu Suhui was obviously satisfied with their reactions, and he waited for the discussion to stop for a while, and then continued: "I think everyone here must have had this kind of experience, right? You should formulate corresponding tactics according to the personnel characteristics of your own team, and then do not stick to the situation in terms of formation. There is no formation that can improve the shooting percentage of players and the skill of passing and receiving the ball, and there is no formation that allows players not to cooperate with each other, and there is no formation that allows players not to run or do not want to run. Formations are only superficial things, and coaches should see through this superficial phenomenon that the essence of winning and losing the game is that attitude is everything. ”

As soon as Qiu Suhui's words came out, it caused another round of twitching. Although this sentence embroidered on Milu's hat and "showed" everywhere by him has been reprinted by the media a thousand times, how many people really understand the meaning of this sentence? Is Milou really just for the show? After the Chinese team defeated South Korea, this sentence, together with another sentence "happy football", was criticized by many people as creating a gimmick and flashy. But who exactly is creating the gimmick? Everything Milou has done in China has been completely overturned, and people will only remember how many commercials he has made in China and how much "hard-earned money in Chinese football" he has made, but they will never remember what he really is. The good intentions of this old Yugoslav man, who were like naughty boys, had never been understood by some people in China, and these people were still the ones who had the full power and greater power to speak. This is just a manifestation of the great sorrow of Chinese football, not to mention more things.

Qiu Suhui also heard about some things about Bora in China, and at that time Bora did not explain this sentence in detail to the Chinese, perhaps he thought that the Chinese who had been engaged in football for decades like him were very smart and could know what he meant. But until he left China amid a scolding, he failed to understand why the industrious and intelligent Chinese, with their 5,000-year-old civilization, had become dull in a small thing they had invented.

The four days were full of lectures, and Qiu Suhui told everyone his experience without reservation, and hoped that they would be able to apply it in their future work. Because he knows that an excellent grassroots coach is worth a hundred excellent players. Only by doing a good job in the training of youth football can Chinese football really have some hope. If the foundation of the football pyramid is not firmly laid, where will its superstructure be built?

It is inevitable that only talking about theoretical things will be boring, so he will devote the next three days to the actual work part, and the so-called practical work is to personally lead the team to demonstrate how to train. Here he played a little clever, did not use the Henan team he brought to demonstrate, but asked Chen Wei to come forward and select 23 players from the 32 teams in the entire Honghe training base to form a temporary team for him to train and demonstrate.

He said that in order to make his training more convincing, he put together the improvised team for three days before playing a teaching match against the Under-21 runners-up Dalian. In fact, this is just a superficial factor, Qiu Suhui's abacus is loud, he wants to take this opportunity to familiarize himself with the players he selected in advance, and see how they perform in training.

Chen Wei and Qiu Suhui found a quiet corner to drink coffee. "No problem, no problem with your request." Chen Wei took a sip of coffee and agreed to Qiu Suhui's request to borrow players from other teams. "How did you think about that?"

Qiu Suhui took a sip of the fragrant coffee in the cup: "I am very grateful for the trust of the Football Association, and I will try my best to live up to the expectations of my superiors." He said it lightly, but Chen Wei was ecstatic to hear it. He said to Luo Wenqiang for a week, but he didn't expect it to be so smooth, and he took it down in less than a week.

"Great!" Chen Wei drained the rest of the coffee in his cup in one gulp.

"Hey, this is coffee, not a second pot......"

"Hehe, do you want to serve two bottles of Erguotou?" Chen Wei asked Qiu Suhui with a smile.

Qiu Suhui shook his head: "Why are you so happy?" ”

"There is hope for the National Olympics, do you think I can be unhappy?" Chen Wei was a little emotional, could it be that the coffee was really mixed with two pots? "Since *, we have been advocating that 'football should start from the baby'. It's been almost 20 years since it was shouted, and it's just a slogan. Just like the saying 'out of Asia, out of the world', when a goal becomes a slogan, do you think there is any hope to achieve it? Chen Wei stared at Qiu Suhui and asked.

Qiu Suhui shook his head.

"So! The hope of Chinese football lies in the youth, and I am in charge of this part of the affairs. Shen Weiguo's sudden resignation did catch us a little off guard, but it also gave me a chance, a chance to do something big. The Athens Olympics are just around the corner, no matter what the purpose, utilitarianism or luck, Chinese football needs a victory so much, an exciting victory! For me, you are the one who can help me to bring victory! ”

Qiu Suhui looked at the man in front of him, in his early forties, but he had already sat in the position of vice chairman of the Chinese Football Association. No matter what happened to him in the past, tonight Qiu Suhui saw a hot-blooded man who really thinks about Chinese football.

"Do something, this is also my original intention to return to China!" Qiu Suhui smiled and stretched out his hand, and the two pairs of men's hands were tightly clasped together. It is a promise between men and men, and it has nothing to do with a piece of paper.

"Xiao Li, now everyone is talking about the new coach of the national Olympic team. I'd like to hear your opinion, you're also a veteran reporter covering domestic football. The deputy editor-in-chief walked to Li Yan's desk with a cup of hot tea. During this time, the cold snap hit, and there was a large area of cooling weather from north to south, from west to east.

Li Yan actually knew very well in his heart, when he knew that Qiu Suhui was decisively returning to China, he knew that he could not only be the head coach of the youth team of the first B club, otherwise in that case, he might as well go to Camp Nou to be Van Gaal's assistant. The only thing I didn't expect was Shen Weiguo's sudden resignation, which made the plan of the "careerist" - this is what Li Yan called Qiu Suhui - come true ahead of schedule.

He shook his head, frowned, and said, "I don't know. Now the situation is very chaotic, almost every day there are new candidates popping out of the media, domestic and foreign ......"

"Now Chen Wei is inspecting the work of U21 at the Honghe base, do you think there is any connection between these two things?"

is worthy of being a veteran, Li Yan admired in his heart. "He went to the Red River? But the coaches there don't seem to be convincing enough! ”

"Qiu Suhui, have you forgotten? The head coach of the youth team of Henan Zhongyuan Club has just led the team to win his first championship in China. You must have been in contact with him when you were in the Netherlands, right? ”

Li Yan remembered the meeting that made him so embarrassed again, his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, but the other party only gave him an arrogant back. "Indeed." Li Yan gritted his teeth and said, "He's a ...... Excellent coach. ”

"Huh? Xiao Li, what's wrong with you? The deputy editor-in-chief could tell that Li Yan's tone was wrong.

"Ah, no, nothing, a little dizzy......"

"Hehe, if you're as strong as an ox, you'll get sick. This weather is really weird, it's cold, you have to pay attention. The deputy editor-in-chief looked at Li Yan, who was dressed lightly, "Oh, and your visa to the Netherlands is being processed, and it will take it in about two weeks, think about Zhang Jun and Yang Pan, right?" ”

Li Yan was stunned for a moment, and confirmed that the deputy editor-in-chief had no other meaning, after all, after staying in the Netherlands for a long time, he would always unconsciously think about that aspect. "Hehe, it's really a little, Warrendam lost two in a row, Zhang Jun was injured again, and Yang Pan was not in a very good state...... The spring cold is not only in China! ”

Zhang Jun opened the curtains, and the bright sunlight poured in, and he couldn't help but squint his eyes. Yang Pan went to train, and he has been "recuperating" at home for ten days. Although yesterday's visit to the club for a check-up showed that the strained muscle had recovered, Adrianse's insurance policy was to let Zhang Jun rest for one more day and let him participate in training tomorrow. In the past two days, I basically studied Dutch in the morning, and went to the club's gym in the afternoon to improve my strength and physical fitness. But today, seeing the clear sky outside the window, he suddenly lost interest in learning. It snowed for a week, and today it finally cleared, and I'm sorry God didn't go out for a walk in such good weather.

Mr. Zhang put on a coat and slipped out the back door -- to avoid the reporters guarding the front door. Zhang Jun has become numb to those reporters who have forgotten to sleep and eat, and he wanted to go out to offer condolences at first.

Today's temperature is still relatively low, and there is a saying in China: snow does not get cold when it comes. Zhang Jun walked slowly, he didn't want to hurt his newly recovered thigh. The "creaking" sound of stepping on the snow made a "creaking" sound, and like Sophie, Zhang Jun also began to like the feeling of stepping on the snow.

In fact, he was not in a good mood during this time, he was injured, the team lost in the last two rounds of the league in a row, and the Warrendam backline without Kozel was directly exposed to the opponent's firepower. In the last round of the league, although Kozel returned, he still could not stop the team's downward trend.

The league has entered the final sprint, whether it is to win the championship or relegation. Warrendam lacked bench depth, and the consequences of the physical exhaustion caused by fighting on two fronts gradually became apparent. The vicious battles have led to serious injuries to the team, and in the next Dutch Cup semi-finals, Adrianse is estimated to only be able to send half of the main team, which is really lucky.

The snow made a sound under his feet, as if it had come to life, and there were few white clouds in the clear sky. Beads of sweat came out of Zhang Jun's forehead, and he found a bench by the embankment to sit down and rest.

The Netherlands, it's like a dream......

Now Zhang Jun finally has time to calm down and recall the more than half a year. From a college student, he suddenly became a professional player who scored goals in the Dutch Super League, and before he knew it, it was only half a year. He doesn't have the habit of memorizing, otherwise it must be very interesting to turn it out after the bits and pieces of the past six months, right?

The moment of the goal, the hugs of his teammates, the stern face of Rice, the trust of Adrianse, the jersey of Kifu, the beautiful agent Sister Hua, the pass of Yang Pan, and Sophie's voice...... Zhang Jun couldn't help laughing, although he was a little injured now, the past six months were still extremely beautiful.

"Look who this is? Ha! Our big star! A hearty voice interrupted Zhang Jun's self-absorption, and he followed the sound to find that there was a small boat in the waterway opposite him, and a middle-aged uncle was waving to him, and two boys of about five or six years old were standing behind him. Hello, Jun Zhang! It's rare to see you running out alone! ”

"Hello, Uncle Dennis!" Zhang Jun stood up and walked to the edge of the waterway, which was his neighbor when he lived at Uncle Wang's house, a warm Dutchman. "Where's Aunt Mary?"

"She was preparing lunch at home, and I took my two children out for a walk, and the weather was fine today, and the waterways were thawed." Uncle Dennis pulled the boat to the shore. "Two idle little imps......" Uncle Dennis looked at with pity.

"Brother Zhang Jun!" The two little guys are vying to greet Zhang Jun, he is their idol. Zhang Jun waved his hand at them: "Are you still playing?" ”

"No, it's terrible, it's ......snowy outside," the two children pulled their faces. When Zhang Jun and Yang Pan were still living in Uncle Wang's house, they taught them to play football.

"But Brother Zhang Jun is so powerful, he can play football in the snow......" the little one said to Zhang Jun with an envious face.

"Stupid! People are professional players, so they have to play! "The elder brother teaches the younger brother.

Uncle Dennis smiled embarrassedly at Zhang Jun, and then asked, "How is the recovery from the injury?" ”

"Hehe, if you see me standing here, it means that there is no problem, and I will return to the team tomorrow."

"That's good, let's go back early. The team lost both games in your absence, and we fans haven't tasted a losing streak for almost half a year, haha! Uncle Dennis laughed again, "I'm going back, come with me?" You haven't been back to see it in a while, too. ”

Uncle Dennis's unintentional words stung Zhang Jun, he hadn't been back to see Uncle Wang's family for a long time, eating Uncle Wang's dishes and chatting with neighbors. In addition to training all day long, I occasionally come to the city or go to the supermarket to buy things. Being chased by reporters all day long and having nowhere to escape, maybe you can enjoy that occasional lazy moment at Uncle Wang's house. "Uncle Dennis, can your boat hold me?" Zhang Jun looked at Uncle Dennis's boat and smiled.

"Haha! Big deal, the boat sank, we swam back! Come on! Uncle Dennis beckoned to Zhang Jun, who jumped into the boat, the hull of the boat shook slightly, and then stabilized. Let's go! ”

Zhang Jun sat in the small courtyard of Uncle Wang's house, and was amused by the two living treasures of Uncle Dennis's family, the two little guys were playing football on the ground, but I really didn't know if they played football or football kicked them. Uncle Dennis's family and Uncle Wang's family are busy cooking. Other neighbors rushed over to join in the fun, and Zhang Jun was happy to be back.

"Hey! Hello! ”

"How are you?"

"How's it going?"

"It's okay, thank you!"

……

Everyone greeted each other like this and chatted casually. Zhang Jun may not be the protagonist, everyone gets together as long as they are happy, I haven't seen a clear sky and bright sunshine for a long time, Zhang Junlai is just one of the reasons for everyone to get together.

Being in this small courtyard, Zhang Juncai really felt relaxed and mentally relaxed. With these simple townspeople, you can always be so happy.

Uncle Wang took a moment to chat with Zhang Jun, he hadn't chatted with this big Chinese boy for a long time. Everyone is busy and has their own careers. It's not easy to get together like we do today.

Uncle Wang handed Zhang Jun a glass of lemon juice brewed by his own local method: "Is the injury healed?" ”

"No problem, the next cup semi-final should be available." Zhang Jun moved his left foot and confirmed to Uncle Wang that he was fine.

"That's good, you're not here, the team's results are declining!"

Zhang Jun smiled, Uncle Dennis also told him this sentence just now. Li Yan once told him and Yang Pan that the two of them had become heroes in the hearts of Warrendam fans and the saviors of the team. He still didn't believe that he had just embarked on the road of professional football, how could he have such ability, and now he believes it.

In fact, Warrendam, who has Zhang and Yang, and without them, are completely two-grade teams, and the results speak for themselves. It's no wonder that Adrianse has been cautious about Zhang Jun's injury, preferring to let him miss one or two league games rather than not see him in the rest of the season.

"By the way, what about your agent lady? I haven't seen her lately. ”

"Did you say Sister Hua? She's very busy, she has a lot of other things to attend to, and she's not in the Netherlands during this time. ”

"Haha! It's funny to say that those boring reporters think that you are ...... Ha! But it's no wonder that she's so beautiful, who would believe she's thirty years old? Uncle Wang laughed.

But Zhang Jun could only smile bitterly, the past was over, and he didn't want to mention it again. Uncle Wang seemed to see Zhang Jun's distress, and he put his hand on Zhang Jun's shoulder: "Don't worry, come to me when you feel tired." No journalists will be able to bother you! You can follow me to learn how to cook a few more good dishes, and I will teach you how to cook Western food and absolutely authentic Chinese food. You can also teach those two little ones to play football, and I think they'll be happy too. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Wang, you took too good care of me!" Zhang Jun was a little choked, he had just arrived in the Netherlands, and he was not familiar with the place, but it was Uncle Wang who accepted them. Take care of their food and daily life, drive them to training, and act as their interpreter...... They were never asked for anything in return.

"Hah! Thank you? Everyone is Chinese. You're in the Netherlands, so I'm going to help you! There's nothing to thank, I'll be your home in the Netherlands from now on! ”

Uncle Dennis saw that the two were chatting lively, and he also came up to join in the fun. Although he couldn't understand the Chinese spoken by the two, he spoke Dutch, and everyone could understand it: "Zhang Jun, why didn't you see Yang Pan?" ”

"Yikes!" Zhang Jun suddenly remembered that he only cared about having fun with himself, and left Yang Pan at home, and he hadn't prepared lunch for him......

Yang Pan faced the empty room and the empty kitchen, and finally understood that Zhang Jun did not play hide and seek for him. "Damn! Zhang Jun, this bastard! ”
