Now you are the manager, there are two candidates in the right wing-back position, one is 18-year-old Sun Jihai, the other is 28-year-old Zhang Linpeng, you can only choose one person to start, how will you choose. I'm sure that the vast majority of fans will not hesitate to choose 18-year-old Sun Jihai. However, I would also like to tell you that most managers will choose the 28-year-old Zhang Linpeng.
To explain, the 18-year-old Sun Jihai represents a young player with high football talent, and the 28-year-old Zhang Linpeng represents a veteran with rich experience in the game. In other words, when a manager considers a player, he often attaches more importance to the player's game experience, because game experience means stability, while football talent is too unpredictable. If the young player doesn't show his talent in this game, then it's not just that one player who is doing poorly, but he will also have a few teammates around him.
There are usually two ways to gain game experience, one is for the players to feel through the game, summarize their own experience and shortcomings, and accumulate them little by little. Another way is to tap the veteran players. Someone who imparts experience can help young players avoid detours.
We have a small football population, and even fewer children have football talent. From a personal point of view, if the experience of the veteran players is systematized and standardized, and a set of operational training models are summarized, so that young players can quickly gain a lot of game experience, then the growth rate of young players will be very fast.
