Like Spain, Germany is also a country that attaches great importance to youth training. But in fact, German football did not attach much importance to youth training before, although they are a world-class football power, but they have also faced the crisis of talent shortage at home. England's 1996 European Championship triumph seemed to have made them forgetful, and by the 1998 World Cup in France, the aging of the German tank was already very evident, and in the 2000 European Championships held by the Netherlands and Belgium at the same time, as the defending champions, they were divided into the group of death, but returned home after the group stage, which was a humiliating performance.

It was precisely because of this fiasco that the German Football Association finally realized that after a glorious decade, it was time for them to pay attention to the development of the German youth football training system, so they made a painful decision to start the great reform in the history of German football.

Gerhard, the president of the German Football Association at the time, believed that it was time to rebuild German football, so the German Football Association launched the "Talent Development Promotion Program", but the football environment at that time did not allow it, and the stadium facilities could not meet the standards, so Gerhard had to wait patiently.

Unexpectedly, he didn't wait long, in the 2002 World Cup, the German team, which was not favored, actually reached the World Cup final in one go. Although they only finished second, the Germans greeted their heroes warmly at the airport. After all, before the World Cup, they were the only two world-class teams that were not favored to win the championship - the other was Brazil - and the enthusiasm for football in the whole country was ignited in an instant, which made Gerhard realize that the opportunity for change had come.

So shortly after the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, the German Football Association quickly organized manpower to implement this youth talent training program, and this program has been continued to this day, and it will continue to this day.

Since 2000, the German Football Association has rearranged about 390 football training bases across the country, gathering more than 22,000 talented male and female players between the ages of 11 and 17 to play under the guidance of more than 1,200 youth football coaches.

At the same time, the German Football Association strictly stipulates that clubs in the Bundesliga and Bundesliga must have their own youth training centers, including the German Football Association itself, plus 48 professional football clubs spend a total of about 48 million euros a year on this project, and this cost is gradually increasing over time.

From the perspective of the German football youth training system, in fact, this is a typical national system - it is impossible to achieve such a huge youth training program by the strength of the club alone. Without the leadership of the German Football Association (DFB) and the mobilization of state power, this great reform would have been put on paper, not implemented.

For example, because of the uneven hardware conditions and coaches of each club, many football talents may be wiped out because they have not received good training, and the German Football Association has made corresponding arrangements.

They have made the 390 football training bases as evenly distributed as possible across the German territory, ensuring that each training base can serve around 70 clubs, which is convenient for the clubs, and ensures that the clubs can find the most talented players in the shortest possible time, while at the same time ensuring that the training of young players can be systematic and efficient. German football experts have calculated that 10,000 out of 300,000 children will eventually stand out from the crowd.

The training camp does not belong to any club, but to the German Football Association.

For example, in addition to training young players, the German Football Association also regularly trains youth football coaches, requiring coaches to teach one-on-one as much as possible. The Football Association arranges a special schedule for each coach, including training sessions, videos and training time to the base, and sets up a file within the Football Association to help each coach guide the children to play football more systematically with scientific methods.

This is not something that can be done by the club alone.

From the reform of German football youth training, we may see another side of Chinese football - blindly advocating professionalism, and the comprehensive denial of the national system may be one of the reasons why Chinese football has gone downhill in recent years, after all, the Chinese national team players who were once first-class in Asia are all from the era of the national system, and they are all trained in the sports team, not a professional football club.

Over the years, the Chinese Football Association has only focused on national teams, but has no idea about the entire youth football training system in China, which is the main factor leading to the decline of China's football level. Of course, this is also normal, in the official-based football association, political performance is the most important, and the national team's achievements are the fastest to see political achievements, so there is such a thing as suspending the league for the Olympic Games, and canceling the league relegation in order to impact the World Cup.

Youth football, on the other hand, is a long and long-term work that requires the continuous input of several generations of the Football Association's tie team, and the advocates of this work may not be able to enjoy the slightest benefit of youth football training until they leave their jobs, and others may end up picking the fruits of victory.

But this is the objective law of football, just like the objective law of the Chinese teenagers who lost to the La Masia Youth B team, and this objective law is not subject to subjective will.

If you don't follow the rules, you will die a miserable death in the football world.

The fact that the Germans had died so badly made them realize the importance of regularity.

Therefore, the most important part of the reform plan proposed by Gerhard is to revise the scope of authority of the chairman of the Football Association, requiring "Xiao Gui Cao to follow", and all previous presidents of the Football Association must faithfully implement this talent training program without interruption, otherwise it will fall short.

But until now, the Chinese Football Association has not really taken the importance of youth football seriously.

Otherwise, "Succession to Superstar", a TV show that aims to draw more attention to youth football, would not have been in the embarrassing situation of the players who were called up were all marginal figures in the youth teams of various clubs.

It is also reasonable for Chinese fans on the Internet to laugh at this show, the title of "the strongest in China" is really the boast of the program team, and the really strongest has not come at all, and even He Ying is lonely.

By the time the teenagers arrived in Munich, the show "Heirs to the Superstars" had already aired three episodes.

After all three matches in Spain were broadcast, there was naturally a lot of scolding on the Internet, and public opinion was unfavorable to the program team and the team.

Some people have ironically called the core idea of "Superstar Heirs" "challenging the youth academy of European giants" "the football version of Hunters and Bears", and joked that these Chinese football teenagers are not there to challenge at all, but to draw them......

These sound program groups naturally know that such public opinion puts a lot of pressure on them, and for the program team, being scolded one after another is like a game that is doomed to fail, which makes them confused.

And there are already sponsors of the show who have expressed concern to them.

Sponsors are the lifeblood of the show, and if they cut off their sponsorship, the show is over.

So the opinion of the sponsor is very important, if the sponsor is unhappy, then everyone will be unhappy.

Loss, ugly loss...... If it goes on like this, the chief director Xu Tao doesn't know how many episodes this reality show can last, and he has done everything he can to downplay the impact of failure in the program director and emphasize positive things. But the 0:12 defeat to La Masia Youth B team left everyone's inherent impression is too strong, so that now no matter how you guide in the show, everyone only has the word "fiasco" in their eyes.

Among the people who scolded, there are real fans who are really angry with Chinese football, and they are so heartbroken by Chinese football that they are a little noisy, as long as they hear the news that Chinese football has lost, no matter how they lose, they will preconceived scolding.

There are also some people who don't care about Chinese football at all, and they follow the scolding is nothing more than using this wind to vent their emotions and find an opportunity to show their negative energy openly - you are rude to being scolded, and others treat you as unqualified, but if you scold Chinese football, no matter how ugly the scolding is, there are many people who applaud you. They treat Chinese football as a spittoon, they don't care how Chinese football is, and they don't want Chinese football to be good, because if Chinese football is good, they won't have a spittoon to spit on.

In such a situation, the last thing that everyone wants to see happens.

Just two days before the match with Bayern Munich's youth team, the team's main central defender Huang Chao was injured in training, and it was not light, not the kind of injury that can be returned to the court after a week or two of rest.

This expedition to the west, there are only sixteen people, in addition to the eleven people who are the main force, there are only five substitutes, which is the same as the Premier League's squad, I believe that every player who plays FM Football Manager will be very dissatisfied with the Premier League's regulations that can only bring five substitutes, because it will always make people feel unsafe, in case someone in the team is injured, there are some extreme situations, and the substitutes may not be enough.

Now, Hao Dong has encountered such a problem.

Because there are only sixteen people in the squad, he has to work what position to bring to the bench.

In the end, in the defender position, he brought six people, in addition to the four main players, there were only two substitutes, one was a central defender substitute, and one was a full-back substitute.

There are six people in the midfield, four starters, and two substitutes - Zhou Yi and Guo Nu.

There are two strikers and no substitutes.

There are two goalkeepers, the main Sun Pan and the substitute goalkeeper Lai Cong.

Now that the main central defender Huang Chao is injured, the substitute central defender Yang Fei naturally has to be on top, but if there is any accident on the back line, this force will be stretched.

The continuous fiasco, coupled with the injury of a teammate, before the start of the game against Bayern Munich, the team composed of Chinese teenagers was filled with such a gloomy atmosphere.
