Reporter Nannan reported that at the end of March, most of the southern region was shrouded in rain. Such weather is very unfriendly to Deng Yingting, which means that the team's training can only be carried out indoors. Two years ago, she walked into Lechang No. 3 Middle School (hereinafter referred to as No. 3 Middle School) for the first time as a teacher, and she was still very unfamiliar with everything here. In two years, she went from being a physical education teacher at a township school to a professional football teacher at The Third Middle School.
The third middle school is the "king" of campus football in Lechang City. Kwong Lanbin, director of the Third Middle School Physical Health Art Department, said: "Our parents once made a joke that if the students who came out of the Third Middle School could not play football, their parents could not hang on their faces. ”
Founded in 1988, the third middle school has a history of 33 years, and in the first 24 years, they were high schools and even more traditional football project schools in Lechang City, with a good football foundation. In 2013, the Lechang Municipal Education Bureau reformed some schools, including the third middle school, based on the actual situation of local education. They have changed from the original senior high school to the current nine-year continuous school.
In 2015, Luo Lijian, who had been a teacher at the Third Middle School, returned to the school as principal. The female principal, whose ancestral home is Meizhou, quickly set a development route of taking football as the characteristic of the school and using the project to create a school sports brand. In her opinion, although the brand of the three traditional project schools has been removed, the tradition of football here cannot be lost. In 2015, she gave each student in the school a soccer ball, a set of sports uniforms, and carefully designed a soccer game between classes.
At the same time, Luo Lijian also put forward the slogan of "charm football, self-confidence and beauty" and made every effort to create a campus football culture in the third middle school. A year later, the Third Middle School became one of the first national campus football characteristic schools in Guangdong Province. Today's Three Middle Schools, from the photo wall of the football shape at the entrance of the school, to the football stars on both sides of the campus road, to the champion memorial wall on the side of the court, all of them tell the efforts of the three middle schools in the development of campus football in the past nine years. It is precisely this kind of effort that makes the third middle school become the premier football school in Lechang. How strong is the third? "Our junior high school team plays exchange games, all of which are played with high school teams or social teams, and there are basically no teams of the same age in the city that are similar to our level." Zhang Yan said.
Zhang Yan was a student of the Third Middle School and a member of the varsity team, representing the Third Middle School in the shaoguan city competition. Today, he is the head of the three middle school football coaching staff. In 2016, together with Qiu Quanyu, he led the women's team of the Third Junior High School to win the championship in the "Yingdong Cup" competition for middle school students in Shaoguan City. In Luo Lijian's eyes, Zhang Yan is the representative of the third middle school that inherits the traditional project with the characteristics of campus football, and he is the "three middle school people" who are rooted in Miao Hong. In fact, the third middle school is also constantly cultivating new "Zhang Yan". Kwong Lanbin said: "The students of the third grade of our varsity team, due to the face of further education, have fewer competition tasks, but they are responsible for taking the new players of the first year of junior high school, leading the old and bringing the new, so that the new players can integrate into the team as soon as possible." "Heritage, regardless of age.
Last year, four teams from the third participated in the Shaoguan City Competition and won a championship, two runners-up and a fourth place, and the school was able to get such results, and Deng Yingting was indispensable. She was dug up by Luo Lijian's wise eyes. Deng Yingting, 26 years old this year, is a football graduate of Shaoguan College. After graduation, she entered a township school to teach. Due to the lack of teachers in the school, Deng Yingting had to work as a physical education teacher and football coach at the same time as a fourth-grade math teacher. In a city competition, Deng Yingting was "matched" by Luo Lijian. The confidence and sunshine of this northern Guangdong girl made Luo Lijian feel that this was the person he was looking for. After all, inheritance not only depends on the "blood" of the three, but also on the tolerance of talents.
After joining the team of the third middle school, Deng Yingting won the D-class coach certificate of the Chinese Football Association. Also with a D-level certificate is Zhang Yan, who also participated in the C-level coach training class, but unfortunately did not take the exam. After all, for those who have not been trained at the level of semi-professional football or above, the practical part of the C-level certificate is too difficult. Luo Lijian likes these coaches to participate in training, she is also willing to create opportunities for coaches to further study, as an educator, she knows that only by continuous learning can she continue to move forward.
Like many principals who value sport, Luo Lijian understands the function of football in educating people. Football is the carrier, the channel that makes students more sunny, confident and happy. Luo Lijian hopes that the children of the third middle school can learn to be human through football, and let students know what can be done and what cannot be done through the rules on the court and the discipline within the team. Whether it is playing football or being a person, you must have a scale in your heart at any time.
The three have their own conveying mode. The "Yingdong Cup" competition in Shaoguan City every year is the best stage for the students of the three middle schools. The famous football schools in Shaoguan City, Such as No. 5 Middle School and Qujiang Middle School, will look for good seedlings on the spot. At present, in the main lineup of Shaoguan No. 5 Middle School, nearly half of the players are enrolled in the third middle school in junior high school. At the men's group of the "Governor's Cup" held in Meizhou at the end of last year, Shaoguan No. 5 Successfully broke through from the group stage to reach the round of 16, which also reflected the strength of the three from the side.
Although Shaoguan, which is located in a mountainous area, is not at the top level in the Guangdong Football Strength List, there are many seedlings here. Zeng Lingxuan, who was in the second half of this year, was one of the "aces" in the third. Less than 15 years old, he scored 11.5 seconds in the 100-meter sprint and was the record holder in the 100-meter and 200-meter sprints of the Lechang City Secondary School Games. "I only have two records because I can only apply for two projects." Zeng Lingxuan said confidently.
Zeng Lingxuan's father is a fan, and he and his son's enlightenment coach are old acquaintances who play together once a week. When Zeng Lingxuan was in the second grade, his father and his golfers played football and took him with them. On the sidelines, the young Zeng Lingxuan showed great interest in the ball and played alone. When he got home, his father asked him if he wanted to play football, and he said he wanted to try. "Just try it." His father sent him to the coach to learn ball.
"Others are very smart and run fast, but learning is always unconscious, and it always needs to be supervised by a teacher." Luo Lijian said. Zeng Lingxuan always can't sit still in class, and he seems to be unable to be "trapped" in a small classroom with a good personality, and he always feels that he should belong to the court. Consciously is relative, playing football, Zeng Lingxuan will never be late. Regarding academics and playing football, the third middle school has its own assessment method. Zhang Yan once said to Zeng Lingxuan solemnly: "If your results are not good, don't come to the team." ”
For children of this age, no amount of oral education is as profound as a personal experience. In the semi-finals of the 2021 East Cup, the third was forced into a penalty shootout. Although it is a student-level game, there is no small accident in the penalty itself, and Zeng Lingxuan, as a goalkeeper, is not under pressure. Before the showdown began, his teammates told Zeng Lingxuan that if he saved a penalty, the team reached the final, and he would be the captain in the final.
Zeng Lingxuan did not disappoint his teammates, and in the final, the opponents of the third came from Nanxiong. Zeng Lingxuan, who was the captain of the municipal competition for the first time, commanded the defensive line and won the championship with a clean sheet. After being a captain, I knew the meaning of the armband, "The feeling of being a captain is completely different, and the responsibility is great." Since then, Zeng Lingxuan has never been suspended from training, nor has he ever been late for class. Now that his grades in the arts are higher than the score requirements of the sports students, his next goal is to pass the results of the disciplines to get into the high school of his choice. Life is one challenge after another.
Although the football of the third middle school was soft in Lechang, the three middle school people were not carried away by the victory, they clearly knew that the results were temporary, and the cultivation of talents, the improvement of students' physique and the increase of the football population were the responsibilities that the school should assume.
"We want to promote the reform of teaching and education based on the topic. Through football teaching, the use of football methods, such as dribbling, interception and breaking of the ball and other actions to increase students' strength, coordination and other aspects of physical fitness, and truly achieve 'combination of learning and sports'. Kwong said.
Deng Yingting, who is responsible for the training and competition of the three primary and secondary school women's teams, has a good helper - the team's captain Wei Shiyu. Wei Shiyu had not been exposed to football before the third grade, and when she was in physical education class, this fast running girl attracted Deng Yingting. At the school games, Wei Shiyu broke the school record of the third middle school with a time of 13.7 seconds.
Soon, Wei Shiyu proved Deng Yingting's vision. Wei Shiyu, who had good personal ability and strong organizational skills, soon became the captain of the team. Sometimes when encountering school activities, Deng Yingting will tell Wei Shiyu the content, and the latter will combine the usual training projects to lead the team to practice. "She's like my little teaching assistant." Deng Yingting said. From Luo Lijian to Deng Yingting, from Deng Yingting to Wei Shiyu, the football people in the three middle schools always seem to be constantly exploring their living forces and forming a cycle of talent training.
"To the whimpering and roaring in the darkness, who says that those who stand in the light are heroes!" After the Chinese women's football Asian Cup reversed and won the championship, a MV of the female footballers singing "Lonely Warrior" made Deng Yingting cry; after achieving certain results in campus football, Luo Li was determined to strengthen the teaching strength of art disciplines in the next step, so that each student could choose a favorite art project in addition to sports; Zhang Yan also continued to find seedlings, communicate with students and parents, use the brand effect of campus football in the third middle school to attract students with football expertise to apply...
A school with traditional characteristic projects, with the appearance of a national school of campus football characteristics, set sail again, and Lechang No. 3 Middle School completed their "behavioral culture": what they thought, what they did, and what they wanted to do. Who said that those who stand in the light are heroes, and all the three football people who carry the weight forward are equally wonderful.
