Fox in the Penalty Area

v1 Chapter 3: China School Football Report 1: Hu Lixin

Lin Xueyi stood at the desk of Deputy Editor-in-Chief Sun Yonggang, a little nervously waiting for the Deputy Editor-in-Chief to read his topic selection plan.

​​

In fact, the planning book is not long, it is just an idea. He summed up his idea into words, handed it to the leaders, and then waited for the leaders' instructions.

​​

​​

​​

It is common to submit a topic proposal, but not every topic will eventually be approved.

​​

The layout of the website is not unlimited, and the place that attracts the most attention is so big. It is impossible for everyone to fight for this place. of.

​​

Lin Xueyi felt that his topic selection was very interesting, but it is hard to say whether the leaders thought so.

​​

So he specifically came to Sun Yonggang.

​​

Because Sun Yonggang has been in charge of campus football, from reporter to deputy editor, he is still in charge of campus football.

​​

And his choice of topic just suits his appetite.

​​

After the Chinese team won the World Cup qualification again, everyone is chasing the heat. If you use campus football as the starting point to gain the heat, you will appear to be different and more fresh and refined than those "coquettish bitches" outside.

​​

He tried to find out the reason why Chinese football can reach the World Cup finals for two consecutive years by visiting campus football.

​​

The names are called "Campus Football: The World Cup Password of Chinese Football".

​​

This is a matter of gilding campus football. I believe that deputy editor-in-chief Sun who reported on campus football must like it!

​​

Sure enough, after reading his topic selection plan, Sun Yonggang released the mouse, turned his attention to Lin Xueyi, and said:

​​

"Interviewing Li Ziqiang shouldn't be a problem. Dongchuan Middle School is a school that is very willing to promote itself. But...interviewing Hu Lixin..."

​​

Having said this, Sun Yonggang frowned.

​​

"He is a very low-key person. For so many years, many media have tried to interview him, and so far only the Central Media has succeeded... How do you convince him to be interviewed?"

​​

When Lin Xueyi saw that Deputy Editor Sun directly asked about the specific operation, he knew that in his heart, Deputy Editor Sun had already approved his topic selection. Now it is like defense of a graduation thesis. He must answer the questions raised by a good supervisor before he can graduate.

​​

So he answered energetically: "Boss, don't you have a messed up WeChat? I want to ask you a favor..."

​​

Sun Yonggang guessed what he was thinking, but shook his head: "You want to convince Hu Lixin through Hu? It's useless, their father and son relationship is very ordinary."

​​

"No, no..." Lin Xueyi quickly explained, "I want to convey the interview wishes to Hu Lai's mother through Hu Lai, and then let his mother convince Hu Lixin."

​​

Sun Yonggang stared straight at Lin Xueyi and didn't speak for a long time.

​​

Looking at Lin Xueyi, his heart trembled: "Uh, boss, do you think it's feasible?"

​​

"I think?" Sun Yonggang raised his finger and pointed at Lin Xueyi, "I think your mother is really a genius!"

​​

Lin Xueyi couldn't hear for a while whether Deputy Editor-in-Chief Sun was praising him or scolding him, so he could only stand there and grin silly.

​​

Sun Yonggang picked up the mobile phone: "Okay, let me contact Hu Lai for you, and let him convey the message."

​​

Lin Xueyi's eyes widened - he knew that this meant that the leader agreed with his topic!

​​

※※※

​​

"Dad, the people from "Goal" want to interview you... Oh, it's not an interview, but to make a micro-documentary for you."

​​

At the dinner table, Hu Lai put his phone aside and looked at Hu Lixin, who was sitting next to him.

​​

Before Hu Lixin said a word, Xie Lan asked, "Fake documentary? Fake documentary?"

​​

"It's not fake, it's 'Wei', Tiny Wei, just a short documentary." Hu Lai explained, and then continued to look at Hu Lixin. "If you don't want to be interviewed, I'll help you..."

​​

He wanted to say "I'll help you refuse" because he knew that his father didn't like to show his face in front of the media.

​​

Perhaps it was because of Wang Xianke's incident back then, that he still had a vague sense of inferiority in his heart, and he was unwilling to accept the scrutiny of others in front of the public.

​​

But what Hu Lai didn't expect was that Hu Lixin nodded and agreed, "Yes."

​​

Hu Lai was stunned for a moment: "Can... refuse, or can I interview?"

​​

"You can interview." Hu Lixin answered clearly.

​​

"what?"

​​

This time, Hu Lai and Xie Lan looked at Hu Lixin in surprise at the same time. The sun came out from the west?

​​

Hu Lai confirmed to his father, "Then I'm going back home. I can't change it this time."

​​

"Go back." Hu Lixin answered decisively.

​​

Xie Lan was still very strange: "What do you think, Lao Hu? Aren't you unwilling to be interviewed?"

​​

Hu Lixin shook his head and said, "Because I found out that some things must not only be done, but also spoken."

​​

Seeing his father's resolute attitude, Hu Lai simply replied to Sun Yonggang on WeChat: "Okay, my father said that he can be interviewed."

​​

※※※

​​

The three photographers are working with the machine, and each of them has a different division of labor. One is responsible for shooting the panorama of the training ground, the other is responsible for taking close-up shots, and the other is more flexible and can move at any time.

​​

A stadium with a standard 400-meter runway is divided into four areas with the same area, and four teams are training at the same time.

​​

In the fourth photographer's shot, Hu Lixin was introducing Lin Xueyi: "...Now we are training four teams from our third and fourth grades. We are divided into AB teams for each grade..."

​​

Lin Xueyi asked, "Team A is the stronger first team, is Team B a reserve team?"

​​

Hu Lixin shook his head: "No, it's just because there are too many people, training together will affect the effect, so they are divided into two teams, A and B. The two teams train with the same training methods and concepts, and will not deliberately come because of the strength of the players. Squad."

​​

Lin Xueyi was a little surprised.

​​

He knew that the division of AB teams is very common in campus football, and one of the reasons must be because of the large number of people.

​​

With the continuous popularity of football in China, more and more parents are willing to let their children play football, so more and more children sign up for football teams in schools.

​​

It is normal for people to divide into two teams or even multiple teams.

​​

But when it comes to division, almost all the schools he knows are divided according to strength. The strongest team forms one team, and the rest are picked to form another team, or two teams.

​​

This is especially common in high schools, because high schools have national competitions that attract much attention, and everyone has to pursue results, which is understandable.

​​

Many elementary schools are also divided into this, but the naming method is different. First team, second team, third team, or elite team, reserve team...etc.

​​

Because there are competitions in elementary schools as well, various districts, cities and provinces will organize various competitions. It's just that there is no national competition.

​​

Since they want to participate in the competition, they will naturally be divided according to the strength of the team, and let the strong team represent their school to go to the competition, win the victory, take home the trophy, and shine on the lintel.

​​

This is also a matter of course, so Lin Xueyi never felt that there was anything wrong with it.

​​

It wasn't until he came to the Nancheng Primary School in Dongchuan City, where Hu Lixin taught, for an interview, that he realized that Hu Lai's father didn't even divide his team in the traditional way!

​​

He asked in surprise: "Why? Don't you play games?"

​​

"We're going to play. We have a game the day after tomorrow, you can watch it when the time comes."

​​

"Then why..." Lin Xueyi didn't understand.

​​

Hu Lixin asked him, "Mr. Lin, you watched our training for a long time just now, did you feel anything?"

​​

Lin Xueyi thought for a while and said, "I found that Hu instructs you guys to train without a golf ball... The football has been rolling around on the ground all the time."

​​

In fact, Lin Xueyi didn't care about this issue at first, but the training session is almost over, but the football has never been played, which made him a little concerned. Even like obsessive-compulsive disorder, it will become more and more concerned.

​​

But what does this feel like?

​​

Is this a thorn?

​​

Unexpectedly, after Hu Lixin heard Lin Xueyi's words, he nodded with satisfaction: "Mr. Lin observed very carefully, in fact, this is what we deliberately asked."

​​

"Intentionally?" Lin Xueyi's eyes widened.

​​

"Yes. At Nancheng Elementary School, whether it is a first-grade team or a sixth-grade team, golf is not allowed."

​​

"You're not allowed to play golf?" Lin Xueyi thought it was incredible.

​​

"Yes, you are not allowed to play high balls. Whether it is a goalkeeper's big kick or a goal kick, you are not allowed to play high balls. You are also not allowed to play long **** directly from the backcourt. It is forbidden to pass high **** from the two sides to the middle. If you want to cross, you can only use Low ball or ground ball." Hu Lixin explained further.

​​

"When we play in the team, we will stipulate that whether the goalkeeper is serving the ball or kicking the ball out of his hand, if the ball is not touched by other people before half-time, then the kick-off is considered a foul, and then the ball The opposing player takes a free kick on the centre line."

​​

"This..." Lin Xueyi didn't know what to say anymore.

​​

He wondered if this would be too paranoid?

​​

But this is Hu Lai's father, and it is difficult for him to say these words.

​​

Hu Lixin seemed to see what the other party was thinking, so he continued, "I didn't set this rule, but my son told me."

​​

"Hu Lai?"

​​

"Well. He only came to know about it when he went to play football in Europe. Once he visited a local youth training game, and when he came back, he told me that there is a strange rule. This strange rule is the one I just mentioned."

​​

Hu Lai told his father about this as a "Western Landscape", but Hu Lixin was greatly shocked when he heard it.

​​

When he first started working as a grassroots youth training coach, he was just following the traditional football training syllabus to teach young players.

​​

However, he compared the current youth training with the youth training he had received before, and found that after thirty or forty years, there have been many improvements in technical means, but the concepts and ideas of many youth training are still not much the same as before. difference.

We have better hardware, but our grassroots coaches are still making children practice basic skills day after day...

​​

"Is it bad to practice basic skills?" Hearing this, Lin Xueyi couldn't help interrupting and asked.

​​

"Practicing basic skills is good. But only practicing basic skills, and blaming all the problems on poor basic skills... not good." Hu Lixin said. "Our media, fans, and even professionals always say that Chinese players are not skilled, so they frequently lose the ball and make mistakes in games, so they need to practice basic skills and work hard. But I think this is wrong. "

​​

"Wrong..." This is the first time that Lin Xueyi has heard that a football coach has denied the view that hard training of basic skills is almost "politically correct" in Chinese football.

​​

He didn't even know how to answer.

​​

Fortunately, today's Hu Lixin did not need him to answer, but continued:

​​

"When I was young, I received football training, and I spent a lot of time on boring basic skills training. At that time, the coach also told us that learning football should be done step by step, first practice the basic skills well, and then practice other things. Practice the skills well. , and then practice tactics, first practice this simple tactical routine, and then practice a slightly more complicated tactical routine... Step by step like this, you can finally reach the level of playing the game. "

​​

Hu Lixin continued.

​​

"At that time, the whole of China practiced like this, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it. How could it be wrong? The basic skills were not solid. It was like you wanted to fly before you learned to walk. How could it be possible, right? "

​​

Lin Xueyi nodded conditionedly.

​​

"When the game is over, and there is a passing and receiving error on the court, the coach will criticize that the basic skills are not well practiced, that the basic skills are not solid enough, and we still need to practice. We also feel that we are not training hard, so we go back to practice hard, as long as we practice. If you don't die, you will practice until you die. Even if you are injured, you can't stop and continue to practice. At that time, there were many people who retired early because of training injuries. Everyone just thought they were too unlucky, but they never thought about why this happened. Now We all know that because of unscientific training. But the unscientific way of training is more than training when you are injured?"

​​

Lin Xueyi felt that his three views had been greatly impacted. He couldn't help but retorted: "But Hu Gui. Although we haven't entered the World Cup before, our performance in Asia is still ok... If Our training level is as you said, how can it be possible..."

​​

Hu Lixin said with a smile: "What was the level of football 40 or 50 years ago? Thirty years ago, a player who ran 10,000 meters in a game was already a top performance, and now the average player's average in the game. The running distance is 11,000 kilometers. If I say something bad, football in the past and football in the present are not the same sport. In the past, the pace of football games was slow and there was little running. Static training often achieved good results. But now that football has developed rapidly for so many years, our training is still following the previous path, how can this be done?"

​​

"But Gui Hu, now our Chinese Super League club training concept is also moving closer to the advanced concept of Europe..."

​​

"Yes, that's right. Our Chinese Super League clubs can pay to hire coaches from Europe, and they bring football concepts in Europe. But the problem lies in the youth training at the lowest level. Mr. Lin, you are a reporter and have been there. In many places, I have come into contact with various teams and people, so have you noticed that football in our country presents an upside-down phenomenon - the top team, the higher the level of training, the more advanced the concept, and the The lower the level, the more backward the basic training level. At first glance, it seems to be correct, because the training level is low and the concept is backward, so the level is low. But it is not right.”

​​

Hu Lixin shook his head.

​​

"Youth training is the foundation of a country's football, just like the foundation of a building. Such an important part uses the worst materials and the most perfunctory construction attitude. How many floors can the built foundation support? Logically speaking , as the foundation of a national football building, youth training should adopt the most advanced concepts to cultivate talents. But what about the actual situation? What is the salary of football youth training coaches? Is there a way to receive advanced football training? Can you follow? The trend of modern football development? How can they guarantee their own level? The youth training work in many places can really only rely on the enthusiasm of the youth training coaches, but how long can this personal hobby last?

​​

"So in elementary school, you could see teams with long passes, hangs and game runs winning games on the court. Then everybody thought it was right and it should be taught. Why is that? It’s the easiest for a coach. It’s easy to teach, and you can still win, parents are happy, children are happy, and the school is happy, too.”

​​

Hu Lixin spread out his hands, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone.

​​

"So my team can't afford high ball. How easy is it to win with high ball? Especially in the under-10 games, because the field is small, there is no offside. Just choose a strong forward to ambush in front of the opponent's goal, and the backcourt directly Just open your big foot in front of the opponent's goal. Because goalkeepers of this age are not strong enough and light in weight, it is difficult to control the aerial ball that has flown more than ten meters. It is common for a striker to miss a leak in front of the goal. Win the game easily.

​​

“Even in games with offside rules like U12 and U13, there will be a lot of space behind you because you need to keep the formation compact. You only need to move your feet forward when attacking. At the same time, in order to prevent the goalkeeper from attacking and controlling the ball, you can also throw the ball. Just go to the two front flanks, and then find a fast striker to run after the football... You see, winning in elementary school is as simple as that.

​​

"But is this kind of training really good for players? Now they can rely on their physical advantages to temporarily win a lot of games and have fun. But as they get older, when their strength advantages become less and less obvious, and even have After that, can we still win this way? If we don’t develop the correct ability to read the game, what if we can’t win the ball with our body? Quit? Stop playing? We spend so much money and energy on small players, and finally cultivate them in the middle of ten years. Is it a normal phenomenon that football has a high elimination rate?

​​

"So my team can't afford high balls. Playing high **** is not interesting, Mr. Lin, you can think about it, when the football is kicked into the sky, what are the players doing on the field? Except for one or two players near the landing point. , other people have temporarily become spectators? This way of playing football can train very limited people. We use passing control to teach children to play, because passing control is a whole, not simply you pass the ball and I catch the ball Only in this way can all players be involved in the game, and even players without the ball need to keep an eye on them and move with the formation... You know, Mr. Lin, I went to Spain some time ago."

​​

Lin Xueyi nodded, everyone knew about this, Hu Lai invited his parents to watch the Champions League final live, and they were shown many times on TV.

​​

"I went to see a few training sessions and games of their local under-10 team over there. It was an eye-opener. I'll just say one detail: in a warm-up before a game, both teams play the ball. During warm-up, four players form a rectangular stance to pass the ball to each other. For teams of this age group in China, when warm-up with passing and receiving before the game, usually two players pass each other. Movement interaction, such as I pass the ball to you, but also run to you, you catch the ball and then pass the ball to the teammate behind me, and also run over to complete the change.”

​​

Hu Lixin continued to describe with strokes, and Lin Xueyi nodded to show that he understood.

​​

Then Hu Lixin asked him, "Then which of the two warm-ups do you think is better, and why?"

​​

"Uh... well, it should definitely be better in Europe. As for why..."

​​

When Lin Xueyi was still thinking about why, Hu Lixin already gave him the answer:

​​

"Because European teams can better simulate the game by passing the ball between two points than our team's passing between two points. Whether it is simply passing the football to the opposite side or combining two-to-one, it is only a matter of A very mechanical coordination, the player hardly needs to mobilize any subjective initiative. In the rectangular pass, the player will have a subconscious awareness of the direction and width of the attack, and can use the marking plate on the ground as a defensive player to make different The movement of the game simulates the contact in the game, resulting in more attacking options..."

​​

When Hu Lixin said this, Lin Xueyi understood: "It is equivalent to the difference between one-dimensional and multi-dimensional, one-dimensional has only one direction, and multi-dimensional has multiple spatial dimensions, up, down, left, right, front, back, and back. Multi-dimensional is more complicated, but multi-dimensional creatures are born like this. In a complex environment, they have more complex thinking ability. Since one-dimensional creatures only need to consider one direction, they naturally do not have more complex thinking ability..."

​​

Hu Lixin nodded: "So European teams pay great attention to combining with the game when they warm up, so their warm-up effect is better. Back to basic skills. Our basic skills training is like this kind of pre-match warm-up, simple Mechanical repetition, never considering the actual application scenario. How useful is such basic skills? Are our players poor skills? You let them do demonstration moves without interference and confrontation. An 18-year-old youth Training players can do it perfectly for you, but once in the game, when confronted with confrontation and pressure, you make frequent mistakes. Then you blame the problem on poor technique, and go back to continue this mechanical training technique... A patient's fingertips The numbness is actually caused by the problem of the cervical vertebra compressing the nerve, but the doctor only treats the patient's hand. How can it be cured? If it is cured temporarily, it will definitely recur after a period of time.

​​

"So my team doesn't do simple mechanical basic skills training. All technical training must be combined with actual application scenarios. On the one hand, it is close to actual combat, and on the other hand, it is also to maintain fun. Children of this age group, fun is the most Good teacher. We used to make football training very hard and scary. It seems that we can’t train people without hard work~lightnovelpub.net~ If we don’t endure hardship, we can’t become a talent. Every day, 10,000 meters, running around the stadium for more than 20 years In the circle, is the physical fitness ready? Isn't it the same as letting people "black three minutes" in the last few minutes of the game? Now we all know that physical fitness is not like this, but technically, why do you still insist on the previous concept? "

​​

Faced with such a question, Lin Xueyi could not answer.

​​

He could only pretend to think, and then turned his attention to the training ground.

​​

The four teams divided the field into four equal parts and practiced at the same time.

​​

A team is playing an intra-team game. They strictly follow the coach's instructions and keep the football under their feet and on the ground. The young players run back and forth on the field, constantly shouting for the ball.

​​

On the field next to them, the young players were playing a lap game under the leadership of the coach, and the laughter continued.

​​

The setting sun in the evening shone on the court, the green grass turned yellow, and the figures were crowded.

​​

I don't know why, this scene actually made Lin Xueyi see the scene of "Pastoral Pastoral"...

​​

He originally just wanted to come here to take advantage of the popularity of the World Cup and Hu Lai, so that his topic selection could show his face on the website.

​​

Now he vaguely felt that the development of things had deviated from his original thoughts.
