In the list of member units of the Chinese Football Association, the Hubei Provincial Football Association and the Wuhan Football Association are listed. In this context, the women's football youth training in our province is "double-track in parallel", and the two sets of women's football youth training systems have formed a tacit understanding: the provincial football association team only selects small players in cities outside Wuhan, and the provinces and cities establish their own teams and adopt different ways to train players.
Judging from the results of youth training, the provincial and municipal football associations have their own advantages, but there are also drawbacks and deficiencies. Both sides are tasked with sending outstanding players to the national team, and they also have to participate in national competitions to achieve good results, and the competitive relationship is difficult to avoid. The competition of the provincial and municipal football associations objectively also encourages each other to focus more on youth training, but at the same time it also brings new topics: how to learn from the superior resources of the two sides and how to integrate them?
Complement each other
The youth training model is more diversified
In recent years, the Provincial Football Association and the Wuhan Football Association have sent many women's football players to the national training teams of all ages. Hubei girls have a high playing reputation, a good overall view, and dare to show their skills on the field, which is very popular in the national team.
Compared with the provincial and municipal women's football youth teams, the players' styles also have their own characteristics. The Wuhan team's little women's football team has a finer life, and the provincial team players' physical fitness, speed and fighting style are better. This difference also stems from the difference in the selection of players and the training mode of their respective players. Wuhan has a high degree of popularity of campus football, girls' football enlightenment is early, and the football games in small venues have cultivated their better sense of ball. The provincial team pays more attention to the physical fitness of the team members in the selection of materials in the prefecture and city. Take Guo Jingdian, a female footballer at the Provincial Sports Vocational College, as an example, she has been practicing athletics since she was a child, and she was only exposed to football for the first time in the fifth grade of primary school, but her excellent physical fitness and professional training can also make her stand out.
Within a province, due to the different youth training systems, players with different style characteristics have been trained, giving coaches more choices for platooning. However, the premise of turning advantages into achievements is that both sides can share resources at critical moments. At last year's Shaanxi National Games, Hubei U18 women's football stopped qualifying, which made many people feel regret: if the provincial and municipal football associations jointly formed a team, it may not be impossible to reach the final circle.
In an interview with hubei daily all-media reporters, some youth coaches also commented on the current youth female footballers in our province: compared with the past, the little women's football team performed better in the overall technical and tactical aspects, but the individual technical ability has a tendency to regress.
In the history of Hubei women's football, Yue Min, Wang Shuang, Yao Wei and other players are very prominent in their personal ability, which is inseparable from their systematic sports school training in adolescence, "At present, campus football mainly plays a role in popularization, to cultivate players with solid basic skills and outstanding personal ability, more professional and concentrated training is needed." Pan Yi, head of the women's department of the Wuhan Football Association, believes that the high level needs training quality and time to achieve, otherwise, it is difficult to complete the leap from popularization to top-notch.
The Wuhan women's football youth training is trying to change. It is understood that after many years of interruption, Wuhan Sports School plans to restart the enrollment of football majors in September this year, and female footballers can enroll in sports schools after graduating from primary school. Sports school training and the current youth training model at the same time, Wuhan women's football reserve talent training channels are broader.
"Professional" and "centralized" have always been the advantages of the provincial football association youth training system, and what is lacking is funding and policy guarantees. Guo Xiaofei, the leader of the women's football team of the Provincial Sports vocational institute, said that the team's "three concentrations" training model can lay a good foundation for the players, if there is more attention and financial investment, improve the training and nutrition conditions of young players, and create more game opportunities, Hubei women's football team will emerge more outstanding talents.
Want to match Su Hu
Hubei women's football team has a long way to go
Women's Asian Cup, the Chinese team regained the championship after 16 years, Hubei power contributed a lot; women's Super League, Wuhan Chegujiang women's football team defending champion, is the absolute "king" of domestic women's football clubs. These achievements have given the outside world an impression: Hubei women's football team has strong strength and can be a benchmark for demonstration.
But reality is not so beautiful. The achievements of Jiangda Women's Football Team are based on high investment, and the club has both outstanding players from other provinces and high-level foreign aid. As far as the youth training talents in this province are concerned, there is a big gap between Hubei women's football team and Jiangsu, Shanghai and other provinces and cities.
In the 2021 Women's Super League final, facing the Jiangda women's football team with three foreign aid configurations, jiangsu team did not fall behind, scoring a goal in the first half. Thanks to Wang Shuang's second degree, Jiangda Women's Football Team won the championship in a thrilling 2-1 reversal. This Jiangsu team is based on the two teams participating in the Shaanxi National Games, which can be called a real Jiangsu disciple soldier.
It is understood that since the establishment of the echelon, the Jiangsu Football Sports Management Center has provided a professional athlete establishment for each selected young player and given these players a comprehensive guarantee. If they finish in the top three in national competitions such as the National Games and the Women's Super League, these athletes will be specially arranged in their assignments during the study period and after retirement. After participating in the U18 women's football competition of the National Games, most of the players of the Jiangsu team can enter Jiangsu University and Jiangsu Normal University through high-level athlete enrollment and sports single strokes, and after graduation, they can return to their places of origin to choose their favorite positions. At the same time, Jiangsu also encourages outstanding retired athletes to return to various places as women's football coaches, cultivate outstanding seedlings, and enrich the Base of China's women's football reserve talents. At present, Jiangsu has formed a relatively complete women's football youth training system and retirement distribution system, which makes Jiangsu women's football team rank high in the women's football field for a long time and become one of the major importers of the national team. The Shanghai women's football team has also established a similar guarantee system, so that girls who play football have no worries.
Compared with Suhu, the Hubei Provincial Football Association and the Wuhan Football Association have failed to establish a perfect women's football youth training and security system. If our province wants to truly become a strong province of women's football, on the one hand, it needs to increase financial support and further enhance the quantity and quality of campus football popularization; on the other hand, it is necessary to strengthen the guarantee of the system and organization, so that women's football players can get all-round protection at all stages after entering the elite training system, and attract more girls to join the cause of Hubei women's football. In addition, it is also necessary to encourage more retired outstanding athletes to go deep into the grassroots and become youth coaches, forming a situation where the spark can burn.
Forge ahead with what you know. We believe that Hubei Women's Football Will become bigger and stronger in the future with the support of all parties, and become a strong team in various arenas such as the National Games, professional leagues, and youth championships.
