Wanma Young Seedlings team coach Huang Guangyu and Wang Yimin
Reporter Wang Wei and intern reporter Liu Chengyan reported that a few days ago, the first "Bay Area Cup" Youth Football Invitational Tournament came to an end at the Zhaoqing New Area Sports Center. The tournament was guided by the Guangdong Football Association and the Guangdong Provincial Student Sports and Art Federation, hosted by the Zhaoqing Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports, undertaken by Zhaoqing Olympic Sports Co., Ltd., and jointly implemented by Guangdong Biao Sports Industry Co., Ltd. and Zhaoqing Ruifeng Sports Investment Co., Ltd. The tournament lasted for 11 days, with nearly 70 teams and more than 1,200 young football players from all over the country sweating on the football field.
The 2024 1st "Bay Area Cup" Zhaoqing Youth Football Invitational Tournament has a total of 7 groups, covering 7 age groups from 8 to 15 years old, with nearly 70 teams and more than 1,200 athletes from all over the country participating. In the end, the championship of the U8 group was won by the Wanma BIBS team, and it is worth mentioning that the third place in the U11 group was also won by the Wanma BIBS A team. At the same time, Li Zehao, a member of the Wanma Young Seedlings team, and Liang Junhao, a coach, won the best player and excellent coach awards respectively.
In the view of Huang Guangyu and Wang Yimin, coaches of the Wanma Young Seedlings Team, it is inseparable from their usual hard work and hard training, and at the same time, it is very beneficial for children to participate in sports competitions during the holidays.
Persistence is the only way to win a championship
The 430 course is a platform for primary school students to provide tutoring, sports activities and interest activities after school, usually after 4:30 p.m. Wanma Young Seedlings Club has worked the 430 course and seized all the time to cultivate football teenagers. "We are divided into two modes: the course class and the elite class. Huang Guangyu said, "The curriculum is mainly trained in the school from Monday to Friday every week to cultivate children's interest and enthusiasm for football. On the weekend, the elite class comes to our venue for further training with the support of students and parents. At the same time, the professionalism of all the coaches in the club is very high, "The coaches in our club are basically C and D level coaches. Wang Yimin said.
Even so, the development of the club has not always been smooth, and in the long run, it has encountered various problems, "The venue problem is the first problem, and this is a problem that we are also facing now. Huang Guangyu said, "After winning the championship through this competition, the children will have a lot of opportunities to show, and we now often go to Guangzhou to participate in the competition, and the young players have games to play, I am very satisfied."
Starting from hobbies, explore the new future of Chinese football
Because they have always insisted on doing youth training and campus football projects for primary school students, Huang Guangyu and Wang Yimin still found a lot of problems during the training. "In the past, the most we encountered was that students retired after the sixth grade, and we can understand that there are new options in the new stage, but now the phenomenon of not playing in the fourth grade is becoming more and more common, and many parents let their children stop training and concentrate on learning immediately after their children enter the fourth grade, which is a lose-lose situation in my opinion. "On the one hand, it may really ignore children's interests and hobbies, and on the other hand, such rapid changes in the environment itself will not help children's learning." ”
For the future of Chinese football, the two coaches who are deeply involved in campus football expressed a positive attitude, "Chinese football cannot leave the campus, and cannot leave the hobbies cultivated since childhood, it is because of interest and hobbies that football ideals can be had." "The views of the two coaches are very consistent. "It's important to like football, if you don't like football at all, you don't have a talent base at all, and there is not so much room for development. ”
Football is even more important than winning
Because they have been with these players for a long time, the two coaches have a very deep affection for them, and the two coaches attach more importance to the quality guidance of the players than the football education that they already attach great importance to. "The fighting spirit and self-confidence are what we have repeatedly emphasized to the players, and at the same time, I also pay attention to cultivating a good mentality among the young players. As a coach, I want to guide every player to go up, and in addition to improving their skills, I also hope that every young player can grow in all aspects. "The two coaches are on the same page.
At the same time, both coaches attach great importance to team life and the cultivation of collective consciousness, Huang Guangyu said: "In the future, my players may not necessarily be engaged in the football industry and embark on the road of professional football, but I hope that they can remember every game, whether it is victory or loss, and become the motivation for them to work hard." ”
