Preface
Gao Yuyang, this name may sound unfamiliar, but his father is a former meritorious international player Gao Sheng, who once represented the national football team in the Olympic Games for the first time.
But his son Gao Yuyang chose to play for Japan, and Gao Sheng also respected his wishes, why is this?
The son of former decorated international player Gao Sheng, he has a talent for football
When Gao Sheng was in the national team, it can be regarded as the peak of the national football team, in 1987, Gao Sheng participated in the Olympic qualifiers, he was injured in the game and went to the hospital for 11 stitches.
In 1988, the national football team entered the Olympic Games and was a first-hand witness, and then led the Liaoning team to achieve ten championships. It can be seen that the relationship between Gao Sheng and football is very strong.
And his son, who is now also a football professional. In 1990, Gao Sheng left the Liaoning football team and joined a Japanese team. At that time, he was playing football, but he didn't know that love would also be coming.
During that time, Gao Sheng has been working in Japan, and he has gone from not knowing anything about Japanese to being very proficient. More and more Japanese people are getting to know and interacting, including his future wife.
After a period of time together, the two officially became husband and wife, and it didn't take long for his wife to give birth to a baby boy in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, named Gao Yuyang.
Gao Yuyang was educated in Japan since he was a child, and I don't know whether it was influenced by his environment or his father, he also embarked on the road of football, and at the beginning, he was trained in the team that his father once coached.
In 2013 he played in a league game and played 22 games in total, scoring 17 goals. When he was a teenager, he never stopped playing football.
When he was in high school, Gao Yuyang also helped his high school win the Japanese high school football national championship 5 times. In 2016, Gao Yuyang, who was still in his third year of high school, was targeted by a club, and after negotiations, Gao Yuyang also officially joined.
But in this process of growth, didn't Gao Yuyang consider coming to China for development?
Respect your son's wishes and choose Japanese nationality
Gao Yuyang's father Gao Sheng is a meritorious international player in China, if he wants to come to China, with his strength, it also happens to be his father's circle of decades of hard work, it is definitely not difficult to enter a good club.
But as a father Gao Sheng is still very enlightened, Gao Yuyang was born in Japan, according to the relevant provisions of the Japanese Nationality Law, when Gao Yuyang grows up to 20 years old, he can choose a new nationality by his own will.
Regarding this matter, Gao Sheng does hope that his son can join the Chinese state, but no matter what, the decision is still in Gao Yuyang's own hands, and what Gao Sheng puts forward is only an opinion, and he will respect his son's own ideas.
At that age, Gao Yuyang did make a choice, but what he chose was still Japanese nationality. In some ways, this is actually expected, after all, he has lived in Japan for so many years, and he must have been more influenced by the country.
So what are the gaps between China and Japan in terms of football?
The training system determines the gap between the two countries
In response to this problem, Gao Sheng once had a realistic analysis. When Japanese football first became professional, it was only two years ahead of China, but now that Japan is decades ahead of us in football.
In the final analysis, Gao Sheng feels that the key point lies in the training of young people in the two countries. Japanese football was heavily influenced by Brazilian football at the time, and since then, Japan has been learning from Brazilian techniques.
The most obvious is the technical style of Japanese football, and the foreign players of various Japanese clubs are basically Brazilian.
At the national level, Japan instills a football concept in children - happy sports, so that children will feel that playing football is like a part of life at a very young age, and Japanese parents also pay attention to this aspect.
They are willing to send their children to play football, of course, not everyone has the idea of letting their children get ahead on the road to football, they will use this way to let their children grow, learn interpersonal relationships, team spirit, perseverance and bravery, etc.
Judging by the results achieved in Japanese football so far, their approach is undoubtedly effective. But what if it's in China?
For example, in Japan, the coach will praise the child, but in China, the coach will do the opposite, criticizing the action is wrong.
You should practice the arch of your feet first, and then think about the rest, and over time, whether you are a young player or an adult player, there will definitely be some resistance in this sport.
But if Gao Yuyang is concerned, is it possible that he will be naturalized in China at all?
It's a good seedling for naturalization, and it depends on the wishes of others
Judging from the past few years, the Football Association has implemented a plan for the naturalization of players, taking the Chinese Super League clubs as an example, and has introduced many naturalized players. If it's a club league, having these naturalized players is really helpful to the team.
But what about the national team? Everyone knows the situation in the World Preliminaries, there are four major naturalized players, but the result is still a mess, and they have also created the worst results in the World Preliminaries.
At that time, there was a lot of controversy on the Internet, and everyone felt that these naturalized players could not actually help our national football team substantially, and the national team still needed local players if it wanted to develop better.
Gao Yuyang, with his own strength and the glorious history created by his father, will naturally be "targeted", in the J2 League, Gao Yuyang's performance is also remarkable, both defensive and offensive are quite strong.
Born in '98, he is not yet 26 years old, and in terms of age, he basically has no possibility of entering the Japanese national team. If he can come to the national football team, he will definitely become the core of the midfield organization with his skills.
What's more beneficial to us is that he has a good lunch, he has no barriers to communication, he has not represented Japan in any official international competitions, and there are no major problems with his transfer membership.
But the final decision is still in Gao Yuyang's own hands, judging from his choices along the way, he still attaches great importance to his career development prospects, but if he really comes over, it will definitely be of great help to the national football team.
epilogue
In terms of national football, China's development is really a long way to go, no matter what, of course, I still hope that more talents will come to China, but we must not rush for quick success, and more must be planned for a long time.
But for Gao Yuyang, he still has an attitude of expectation, and it remains to be seen what the result will be.
