People's Daily Sports: Behind Taishan's re-victory in the Chinese Super League, football youth training is based on rules

After 11 years, Shandong Taishan team won the Chinese Super League championship again.

What is also talked about with the glory of the championship is the deep and steady stream of talent reserves of Shandong Taishan Club.

According to statistics, among the 23 players who played in the Taishan team this season, there are 17 local players, of which 11 are from their own youth training system. After years of deep cultivation in the field of youth training, players from Taishan's echelons at all levels have already branched out in the third-tier league, showing their football skills and comprehensive quality learned in the football school.

The knower knows the beginning of the deed, and the practitioner knows the success. Since the establishment of the school, the football school has always adhered to the purpose of "advancing in both culture and sports, and cultivating people with virtue", while developing students' professional strengths, comprehensively improving the comprehensive literacy of students, aiming at cultivating top outstanding players who have culture and can use their brains to play football; in the cultural construction of youth training, the school has always maintained the fine tradition of attaching importance to learning, correcting the learning style, being diligent in learning, and being good at learning; always adhering to the fine tradition of moral education throughout, engraving school rules and discipline in the heart, making compliance with rules and discipline conscious, and focusing on practicing "starting from Keju, Become a rule of the times" mission of the times.

"Although the tao is not good, it is not done; although it is small, it is not impossible." In the process of youth training culture construction, the football school according to the psychological characteristics of young players, starting from the subtleties, gradually explored and formed a teaching management model based on "three masters and one guide, hierarchical teaching", built a complete curriculum system of quality education and intellectual development system, under the premise of opening a national curriculum, with professional theory, cultural literacy and artistic literacy as the core, has opened "Speech and Writing", "Football IQ", "Football Sun Tzu's Art of War", "Green Disciple Rules" and other football characteristic courses. Gradually improve the curriculum system of quality education and intellectual development system, and strengthen students' psychological quality, language expression and communication skills and behavior habits. In particular, this year, the "Football Youth Chinese Studies Class • Green Leaf Disciple Rules", a moral education curriculum tailored for football youth athletes that combines both systematic and realistic harmony, was incorporated into the school curriculum system, adhering to the school's concept of "being a star first", and implementing normalized and serialized teaching, which has become an important reading book in the process of "cultural introspection" of youth training players, which is of great significance.

Initiated by the Shandong Football Association, the "Football Youth Chinese Studies Class • Green Yin Disciple Rules" follows the "Youth Training Outline of the Chinese Football Association" released in November 2020, aiming to create a "cultural reader" for Chinese football youth training. This series of books connects the traditional Chinese studies reader "Disciple Rules" with the football youth training classroom, based on the ancient and penetrating the present, combined with the vivid examples on the green field, easy to understand, and has received positive results in the classroom practice of Luneng Football School and youth training institutions and campus football, and has become an indispensable cultural energy in football youth training.

In the construction of youth training culture, the school pays attention to the penetration of moral education goals and football culture goals, professional quality goals, and the implementation of basic courses is also clearly targeted, such as the cultivation of language expression ability in the teaching of language courses, aiming to improve the smoother and more efficient communication between players and players and coaches; the learning of foreign languages such as English and Portuguese can improve the communication ability with high-level foreign teachers, so as to more effectively understand the technical and tactical thinking of foreign teachers.

At the moment of great changes in China's football environment, Shandong Taishan Youth Training has embarked on a road of cultivating high-level football players in the practice of educating people, and it is also a sustainable development road of educating people with football culture. Chinese footballers should always firmly believe that "football without culture is desert football, football without vitality and vitality." Using culture to 'green' football is a deep promotion of football development. It can be seen that adhering to cultural construction will become the soft power of Chinese football youth training in the future - the wind is flat, and the sails are breaking the waves; the task is heavy and the road is long, and it is even more necessary to walk steadily.
