A rural primary school with no foundation in football education and only more than 200 students has a 40-member campus football team. In particular, the women's football team has won 14 championships at or above the county level in more than 4 years since its establishment, and has also produced 9 national first- and second-level athletes.
On February 16, when the top news and Henan Business Daily reporter interviewed Zhangpan Primary School in Pingle Town, Mengjin District, Luoyang City, the girls' soccer players of the primary school said that they would take wang Shanshan, the captain of the Chinese women's football team and a native of Luoyang, as an example, work the football field and win glory for the country.

On February 16, the clouds were thick, the wind was cold, and the sub-zero temperature pierced the clothes and reached the skin, showing signs of rain and snow. At this time, on the football field of Zhangpan Primary School, more than 10 women's soccer players wearing thin team uniforms of the school were training.
Just 3 days ago, they won the second place in the primary school girls' group in the Luoyang "Mayor's Cup" Youth Campus Football Finals. However, for such achievements, Song Haibo, as the principal, feels that there is still room for play.
In 2016, with the continuous promotion of youth campus football and the holding of campus football competitions at all levels, campus football education has been paid more and more attention by schools. It is in this context that ZhangPan Primary School tested the waters of campus football.
After the summer vacation of 2017, the football team of Zhangpan Primary School was officially formed. "There were only 13 people in the beginning. There are 7 members of the women's football team. Song Haibo said that at the end of the year of the formation of the team, the Zhangpan Primary School Girls' Football Team won the Mengjin Campus Football Tournament Primary School Girls' Championship.
At present, the football team of Zhangpan Primary School has 40 members in every class. For more than four years, the school's women's football team has won 14 championship trophies and the runner-up of the "Governor's Cup" campus football competition in Henan Province in competitions above the county and district levels. The 14 champions include the overall champion of the Luoyang "Mayor's Cup" campus football tournament in 2018 and 2020, the gold medal of the 2018 Qingdao "Haifan Cup" National Youth Football Invitational Tournament and the champion of the 2019 Inner Mongolia "Belt and Road" International Invitational Tournament. The school was also named "National Campus Football Characteristic School" by the Ministry of Education.
"Although we did not win the championship this time, as a campus women's football team, we must also carry forward the spirit of women's football, never say defeat, never give up, tenacious struggle, and strive to win the championship next time." Song Haibo said.

As Song Haibo said, although the current Zhangpan Primary School football team is small and famous, its development is also a process of not giving up, not giving up, and tenacious struggle.
Zhangpan Village, located on the mountain range, is not a wealthy village. Because of the lack of water and poverty, there was once a saying that slipped through the mouth: "There are women who do not marry Zhangpan Village, and bear the pressure of water to break the backbone." ”
The source of students is mainly from Zhangpan Primary School in the village, with more than 200 students. Originally, there was no football teacher here, and there was no infrastructure for football education.
"The development of campus football in rural primary schools is not a general difficulty, the foundation is too weak, and the people's concepts are difficult to change, thinking that playing football is a fool's errand, delaying children's learning, especially girls, and it is considered that they should not play football." Song Haibo said that the Zhangpan Primary School football team at the beginning of its establishment faced two major problems: lack of football venues and winning the support of parents.
Today's Zhangpan Elementary School Football Stadium is a standard 8-a-side plastic football field. "This was built in 2018 with the support of the Mengjin Education and Sports Bureau and the Pingle Town Government, and it is also our third football stadium." Zhang Canbo, who is in charge of logistics at Zhangpan Primary School, said that the earliest here was the basketball court of Zhangpan Primary School and Pingle Junior High School Zhangpan Branch, when the football team was just established, it was played on the basketball court, "but the basketball court is cement floor, there is a 10-centimeter split layer between the two courts, and there is a distance of 3 meters between them. ”
"The hardest thing to do is to get parental support." Liang Yaowu, a physical education teacher at Zhangpan Primary School, said that in order to dispel the concerns of parents, the school invited the parents of the "good seedlings" to the school to hold a symposium, "Once can not open twice, we also do work for parents one by one, and some parents have done no less than 50 times before they can make sense." ”
In order to relieve parents' fears of affecting their children's learning, Zhangpan Primary School specially organized teachers to use their spare time to volunteer to make up lessons for football players. At the same time, professional football team coaches are hired to systematically train team members so that team members can really grow in football training.
[3] Nine female players have become national athletes, and it is expected that there will be more Luoyang figures in the Future Chinese Women's Football Team
In Song Haibo's view, the best persuasion is to let parents see that playing football does not delay learning, or is a way out for children in the future.
Over the past 4 years, with the growth of the football team of Zhangpan Primary School, many team members have been specially recruited into the school to study because of their football expertise, and some have become national athletes and entered the national team and provincial teams. "Among the football players who graduated from Zhangpan Primary School, 1 female team member has become a national first-class athlete and 8 female team members have become a national second-level athlete." Song Haibo said that Liang Jiaqi, who participated in the Zhangpan Primary School girls' football team at the age of 9, is already a member of the U14 national team of the Chinese women's football team and is about to participate in the training for the Asian Cup Youth Games; Song Jiaqi, who participated in the women's football team in the same period, is currently a national first-class athlete, working as a main player in the U14 provincial team of Jiangxi women's football and a member of the U13 national team.
Of course, these are also inseparable from the hard work of the players. Zhangpan Primary School football coach Li Lei said that although the team members are small, they are not afraid of suffering and tiredness, squeeze out time to practice when they go to school, and they also have to practice or play games on holidays.
Song Jiaduo, 12 years old this year, has been playing football for five years and is a main player in the women's football team of Zhangpan Primary School. She joined the soccer team, stemming from her sister. Her sister was also a member of the school's women's football team, and because of her football expertise, she was specially recruited to study at a school in Luoyang and became a member of the school's school team. "In the past five years of playing football, I have changed a lot, my words have become more, I am lively and cheerful, and most importantly, my physique has become better, and I have made a lot of friends." Song Jiaduo said.
As a member of the women's football team, the members of the Zhangpan Primary School women's football team have taken Wang Shanshan, the captain of the Chinese women's football team and a luoyang native who has just led the women's football team to win the Asian Cup, as an example. I see responsibility in Wang Shanshan's sister, and as a captain, I also want to work the football field like her and win glory for the school. Zhang Pan Primary School women's football team captain Wang Yihao said.
From the still immature expression of the players, Song Haibo also saw the excellent character of the Chinese women's football team that flashed in them, and he hoped that through hard work, he could export more football talents for the country, and see more Luoyang people in the future Chinese women's football team and win glory for the country.
In fact, the development path of girls' football in Zhangpan Primary School is also a microcosm of the development of football in Mengjin Campus. The main person in charge of the Mengjin District Committee of Luoyang City said that the district will be based on the new positioning of the reform and development of sports in the new era, vigorously advocate learning and carrying forward the "spirit of women's football" in the whole district, actively cultivate and select more outstanding sports talents such as the zhangpan primary school women's football team, continue to promote the development of Luoyang sports, and contribute to the construction of a youth-friendly city and a healthy Luoyang.
