Chapter 193: Funding a Football School
After admiring the two volcanoes, Li Hao and Zhou Ruotong went to famous Hawaii tourist attractions such as Hanauma Bay, Pearl Harbor, Diamond Head, and Waikiki Beach.
The life of a local tyrant should be enjoyed like this, make good money when you make money, and never be soft when you spend money. It's just that Li Hao has the privilege of Shenhao, and he almost completely earns money while lying down, and wins his life while lying down.
Li Hao's own life is successful, but he has to do much more than that. At a party, he happened to learn that the current situation of Chinese football schools is worrying, not only can they not provide fresh blood for various football clubs. And it can't provide a good reserve force for Chinese football.
To say that the most vocal about Chinese football youth training is Coach Gao Fengwen, who has served as the coach of the national team. He gave up a high-paying hire at a League A club and set up his own football school.
But with the poor performance of Chinese football, football schools are also gradually declining. Many parents are reluctant to send their children to soccer school because it is too costly, and it is better to finish college and find a stable job.
Including the Xu Genbao Football Base in Chongming, Shangyuan, the same. At the beginning, it spent 30 million yuan, initiated by the famous national football coach Xu Genbao, with a total area of more than 70 acres. The base has three semi-standard football fields, an indoor football field paved with artificial turf imported from Germany, and a football hotel covering an area of 7,000 square meters.
The football base was once glorious for a while, but now it has become almost a football venue.
When Li Hao drove his Bentley, he was invited to the Xu Genbao Football Base and met the daughter of Xu Genbao's coach, Xu Yingying, who invited him to visit.
Xu Yingying smiled with enthusiasm and took him to visit his father's football base, "Mr. Li, thank you for visiting our football base in your busy schedule." Next, I will take Mr. Li for a brief visit. ”
Li Hao nodded, and then took his personal bodyguard Sister Sophia to follow Xu Yingying to visit and learn about the current situation of Chinese football schools.
"Mr. Li, to tell the truth, what Chinese football youth training lacks is not resources and hardware, but education. Since there are only a few dozen football schools in China, and there are even fewer formal ones. Therefore, in terms of football education, it is difficult to implement the policy uniformly, which directly leads to the lack of reserve talents in Chinese football. ”
Xu Yingying follows her father to take care of the football base, so she has a very unique view of Chinese youth training, "Mr. Li, although Chinese football is comprehensively backward in form, Chinese football players are not too far behind in professionalism. Football is of no race, the Chinese team can surpass South Korea in terms of physical fitness, and the learning technique is not bad, the only weakness is the practical use of technology, that is, actual combat...... Like that kind of offensive football, saying that the best offense is defense, these are false slogans, and what national football should pursue is balance......"
Along the way, Xu Yingying took Li Hao to meet some young people who were training in a football school. When this group of young men with childish faces saw the national male god Li Hao appear.
The young people stepped forward one by one, and they all wanted to take photos with Li Hao.
"Emperor Li, I've watched your live broadcast reward, I admire you very much!"
"National male god, can you take a picture with me? My cousin is your idol! Oh no!
Xu Yingying looked at the group of students in the school, surrounding Li Hao in a circle, happier than usual training, and there was really nothing she could do with them.
Just when the children were happy together, Xu Tianren, the vice principal of Xu Genbao Football School, with an old face, asked the children to go back to train well, "What are you doing, go back and continue training!"
Xu Tianren had a whistle around his neck and nodded at Li Hao. He knew that Li Hao was the sponsor invited this time, and a large part of the future football school expenses would rely on the young man in front of him.
Out of courtesy, Vice Principal Xu Tianren, wearing a black sportswear, came to Li Hao. Then he shook hands with him and said, "Hello Mr. Li, thank you for visiting our football base." As you can see, the current situation in the school is not optimistic, and it is not easy to recruit this child. If it were before, there would have been at least five or so classes, but now it's good to be able to fill one class......"
"Principal Xu, why is this happening? Can you give me a brief analysis?" Li Hao asked with a little concern.
The two stood next to the playground and watched a group of children running on the plastic track, chatting for about half an hour.
Li Hao learned from Xu Tianren that the composition of China's youth training is a pyramid structure.
At the bottom are small and medium-sized training classes active in various counties and cities, mainly cultivating enthusiasts and adding an option to children's extracurricular life.
The middle level is the one that has been licensed by various companies abroad, or has set up its own amateur football clubs and football schools, such as Figo Football Academy, Arsenal Football Training Base, Chelsea-R&F Training Base, Evergrande Football School, and Shire Football Academy.
The content of these classes is the content of orthodox football training, so that one or several teams can participate in domestic competitions.
At the top level is the youth team and youth team under the Chinese provincial and municipal football associations, they are selected from various campuses, which is the closest to the level of professional players.
From the above three components, it can be seen that the selection of most professional clubs in China is like this: recruitment from Qinhuangdao Football School, selection of players under the provincial and municipal football associations, selection of club cooperation institutions, and selection of scouts through domestic competitions.
"So we'll know that there is almost no chance that anyone who attends the lowest small and medium-sized training class will be able to enter the professional team, unless you meet Xu Genbao. Intermediate football schools and training institutions need to play hard to get into the professional team. The training institutions at the top are the ones with the best chance of getting into the professional team. ”
Vice Principal Xu Tianren said to Li Hao with emotion, "The path for children who want to become professional players is actually very narrow, and the first path is through the football events held in various districts for coaches or football institutions to discover." But in a region with a population of one million, there are only a maximum of 23 children participating in the event. ”
"The second path is to enter a professional football school, give up cultural classes, and devote yourself to football. China has 3 leagues, 16 teams in the Super League, 16 teams in the first division, 16 teams in the second division, each team supports the quota of 40 people, except for the Chinese Super League, other teams do not have permanent youth teams, and the total number of employed people is about 2,200 people. ”
