Title: Chinese Youth Football Training: Utilitarian Supremacy or Skill Improvement?
Introduction: In the fierce competition between Taishan U15 and Evergrande Football School U15, it is not difficult for us to find a thought-provoking question hidden behind it - is China's youth football training on the right path? When the numbers on the scoreboard become more important than anything else, we seem to ignore the importance of cultivating children's real football wisdom and skills. Next, we will delve into the current challenges and problems facing the domestic youth training system.
Text: First of all, we have to admit that in many youth training institutions in China, performance has become the only criterion to measure everything. This showdown between Taishan and Evergrande is a microcosm. From the nervous brows of the coaches to the expectant eyes of the young players on the bench, they all reveal an atmosphere of seizing the day and the winner is king. This environment has created a highly utilitarian model of football teaching, rather than a healthy ecology that focuses on skill development and personal growth.
This kind of simple football criticism is nothing new. During the game, the children were seen mechanically executing tactical movements, as if they were more about how to "cope" the game than how to "enjoy" it. This kind of training method is obviously ineffective, and the simple and crude pursuit of results leads to the loss of flexibility and creativity that children should have on the field.
Let's take a look at the international level. Former international player Zhou Haibin has publicly stated that domestic youth teams generally have problems such as the disconnection between theory and practice and the lack of basic skills, and it is difficult to make a difference on the international stage. This is certainly a wake-up call that we must revisit and adjust the current youth model.
Xi is hard to change – it's a label that every adult player who still plays from an early age. Many times, what they show on the field is not where their true style or talent lies, but the patterned actions that have been instilled and restricted over the years.
In addition, the issue of youth training interests is also a key point that cannot be avoided. Some institutions focus too much on short-term achievements and neglect long-term development planning and quality investment. However, a truly good player cannot be cultivated overnight, it requires patience, scientific management and a high degree of attention to the needs of individual differences.
The issue of homogenization is also worthy of attention. Many youth training institutions adopt similar or even identical training programs and tactical arrangements, which makes it difficult for Chinese youth football players to form their own unique styles and competitive characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to call on the General Administration of Sports to adjust its funding policy – investment should be more focused on personalized teaching and long-term development strategies.
Finally, the article proposes to cancel the fixed amount of funding allocated to Tatar clubs and schools at all levels in a step-by-step manner every year, and try to establish an incentive mechanism, which may to some extent promote the improvement of China's football youth training system in a more professional, scientific and personalized direction.
He affirmed Dong Lu's views and the outstanding performance of his youngsters, and also showed that market competition is crucial to promoting the reform of the training system - only when there are different voices and methods can it inspire a truly efficient and effective way to improve the quality and ability level of athletes.
Conclusion: Through the above in-depth analysis of the current situation of children's football training in China and its problems, and provide targeted suggestions and improvement measures, it is hoped that it will resonate with relevant departments and the public, and finally promote the healthy and sustainable development of youth football in mainland China.
