There were no spectators in the stands of the Olympic Sports Center. After all, it was just a U17 league match.
Moreover, it was a one-sided massacre, which was indeed nothing to watch.
However, this game is a microcosm of the entire league.
There are more than 300 teams participating in the league across the country, and the gap between them is very large. It is not an exaggeration to describe them as vastly different.
Teams like the Fuqie team, which are selected and organized from professional football schools, are much better than the school teams of ordinary high schools and vocational high schools.
Talent reserves, training hours, tactical literacy, coaching level, cooperation level, etc. are not at the same level.
The score of 21:0 is not the most exaggerated score in the league.
There was once a team that played a game and achieved an exaggerated result of 43:1.
Those who didn’t know, thought they were playing basketball!
Such a one-sided game just confirmed what Xu Jie said: The meaning of the league is for people from top to bottom to create clever names and make money!
If you really value the cultivation of youth football talents, is this how you go about it?
What a joke!
If he hadn't brought Chu Xiaoran to meet someone, Xu Jie wouldn't have brought him to watch such a boring game.
"Teacher Xu, I think the No. 10 on the Fuqie team is quite strong. I can see that he has good skills with his feet."
Chu Xiaoran didn't know the members of the Fuqie team, but simply judging from the performance on the green field, the performance of player No. 10 was acceptable.
The No. 10 of Team Fuché is none other than Mei Yuwen.
In one game, 11 goals were scored.
Call him weak, but he does have some strength.
Let's say he is strong, but it depends on who he is compared to.
Xu Jie saw much more details than Chu Xiaoran.
He smiled, shook his head, and asked, "What do you think of his explosive power on the court?"
Chu Xiaoran was stunned.
explosive force?
The instant explosive power when breaking through the defense is very good, it can be seen that he has been specially trained.
"Teacher Xu, his explosive power is quite strong. He must have had a long period of strength training."
Chu Xiaoran didn't understand why Teacher Xu asked him this question.
Because in daily training, Teacher Xu has never conducted special training for his strength and explosive power.
He had also felt strange, but he never questioned his mentor.
"His foot skills look very good at first glance, but in fact if you observe carefully, you will find that there are many redundant little moves in his technical movements."
Xu Jie explained to Chu Xiaoran:
"This illustrates two points."
"First, he has been playing football for a long time, at least 10 years, and many technical moves have already formed muscle memory."
"Second, he developed his strength prematurely, resulting in small deformations when performing technical movements."
"Teacher Xu, develop your strength too early? What does this mean?" Chu Xiaoran was confused.
Xu Jie smiled slightly and said, "Football is different from basketball."
"Basketball players, even young players, start strength training at an early age."
"Like those professional basketball players, they even have professional strength trainers to guide their training."
"Physical confrontation on the basketball court, strength dominates."
"This is why in normal training, you will see me giving Lin Weirui and others guidance on strength training."
Chu Xiaoran nodded, sometimes he and Lin Weirui would train together.
But the training is for different events.
Teacher Xu's training mainly focused on agility, coordination, and flexibility.
The training for Lin Weirui and others is more about improving strength, such as bench press, bent-over arm rowing, etc.
"Shouldn't we who play football also need to practice strength?" Chu Xiaoran asked doubtfully.
The physical confrontations such as pulling, hitting, etc. on the football field are also very intense.
It’s no less physical than the physical confrontation on the basketball court.
But why didn’t Teacher Xu formulate a corresponding training plan for him?
Xu Jie smiled and nodded, "Football players, of course, need strength training."
"But unlike basketball players, football players cannot develop their own strength prematurely."
"Just like the No. 10 player."
With that said, Xu Jie pointed at Mei Yuwen, who had a cold face on the field.
"At first glance, his explosive power is astonishing, his breakthrough is rapid, and he still does not lag behind in physical confrontations when surrounded by two or three people."
"But if you carefully observe his leg movements, you will find that he can no longer pursue a career."
Chu Xiaoran's eyes suddenly widened.
What did Teacher Xu say?
That No. 10 who plays football very hard, that cold-blooded young man who scored 11 goals by himself, can’t take this career path?
No way?
Xu Jie gave a rare sigh and shook his head.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
"Actually, you can't blame him."
"In a football environment like Long Country, people like him are very typical players who overdraw their bodies prematurely."
“When should football players start working on strength and power?”
"At least I'm your age."
"Training since childhood and practicing in advance will overdraw the body and waste talents. It is easy to develop knee hydration and back heel pain when you are still underage."
"Although No. 10 tried his best to cover it up, his subtle technical moves still betrayed him."
"I estimate that the pain in his heels probably lasts more than a day or two."
"Even if I embark on a career path in the future, I will basically not achieve anything."
Chu Xiaoran was shocked.
Teacher Xu actually determined a person's career from just one game?
If this hadn't come from Teacher Xu's mouth, Chu Xiaoran would never have believed it.
Gudong.
Chu Xiaoran was so frightened that she swallowed her saliva.
"Teacher Xu, is it really that serious?"
Xu Jie nodded helplessly, "It is indeed that serious."
"If you look at the youth training teams of the big clubs in Europe, you will find that they rarely develop their players before they reach adulthood."
"Generally, it is based on small core strength, such as waist and abdominal strength."
"More, it's like the training I usually do for you, focusing on agility, coordination, and flexibility."
"The other thing is foot frequency training and quick thinking training."
"But in our domestic environment, few people would do this."
"Don't they know?"
"In fact, many teams once wanted to introduce advanced Western football concepts, but in the end they all failed. Why?"
"Because according to this set of training standards, results cannot be achieved in a short period of time."
"On the contrary, teams that practice strength and explosiveness can produce results quickly."
"So, the coaches at the grassroots level are happy to do it. If you don't practice, others will practice. If others practice and get results, you will practice too."
"It's hard for people in football schools like these to resist not doing strength training."
"This leads to what I just said, overdrafting the children's bodies and talents in advance."
As Xu Jie spoke, he looked at the young players on the field with regret.
He could see their talents. In fact, there were one or two good prospects among them.
But in the domestic football growth environment, they are destined to be unable to grow.
Just as Xu Jie was talking to Chu Xiaoran about the future of the young players on the court, a group of people in suits walked into the venue at the entrance of the Olympic Sports Center.
Xu Jie looked at one of them, smiled slightly, stood up, and patted Chu Xiaoran on the shoulder.
