Jody interviewed Dong Lu in the face, saying that the transmission control is misunderstood in China, and the Olympic event is incomparable with football
On December 19, 2023, Beijing time, "Football News" released an exclusive interview with Zhejiang team coach Jodi. Although he has been coaching in China for seven years, Jody has not given many interviews. Facing reporter Jia Yanfeng this time, Jodi also talked about his football philosophy in a rare way, and talked about his views on China's past football thinking.
Since Dream 2 Barcelona swept European football, its main pass-and-control football has also become popular, and many fans have also equated "pass-control" with "high-level football". However, the discussion about whether Chinese football players are suitable for playing pass-and-control football and whether they are capable of mastering high-level football has also been a hot topic of discussion among fans. In an exclusive interview, Jody, who came through La Masia's academy, gave her thoughts on the topic.
Jody believes that there is a misconception of pass-control in China: "Pass-control football itself is precisely to take into account the wider range of players with different physical conditions and skill levels to play together. Pass-and-control football is not a tactical style that can only be played by high-level teams, it is essentially about controlling the game and creating opportunities and successes through technique, intelligence and tactical understanding, based on the team's overall cooperation and continuous improvement. ”
"Passing is just a form of tactics, not the ultimate goal, the original intention of passing is not to show off skills, but to actively control the opponent's running line by controlling the running line of the ball, so as to create space and opportunities for yourself to score. Jodi's statement can be said to be a direct slap in the face to some media people who oppose Chinese players playing pass-controlled football.
Since the 1988 Seoul Olympics, Chinese sports have launched the "Gold Medal Strategy", and China has become an Olympic gold medal country. But it is precisely because of the huge influence of Chinese sports in the world that Chinese football seems to have become an outlier in Chinese sports and the object of confusion among sports fans. Athletes who also compete for their country and are often hailed as "national influences", while Chinese footballers are always the subject of ridicule and ridicule from sports fans.
On this topic, Jody also gave her own understanding. Jody says that there is no comparison between the Olympic program and the football program: "This is the very typical thinking, because A, so B, or because ABC so DEF." If we want to change Chinese football in a real sense and improve the level of Chinese football, perhaps the entire way of thinking, judging standards, and reference objects of football must be changed. As for who will change it, I can't say, but this cannot be simply analogous and linked. ”
"In terms of individual events, their principles are different from team sports football, for individual events, changes in the number of repetitions, pauses, intensity are meaningful, but in football, increasing VO2% maximum, or training above the anaerobic threshold of 5%, will not be as practical as swimming, athletics, cycling and other sports. ”
