At a special celebration in Beijing, the prestigious Chinese football champion Nian Weisi celebrated his 91st birthday. Chinese football celebrities from different eras gathered together at this moment to celebrate the longevity of this elder in the football world.
The scene itself is full of dramatic tension. Present are Xu Genbao, the "godfather" of Chinese football, Rong Zhixing, a former international star, and the two stars of the current Chinese Super League - Wu Lei and Wang Shenchao. These seniors and current superstars in the football world are rarely together, and it is undoubtedly full of expectations. What kind of wonderful story will unfold here?
As it turned out, this birthday celebration was more than just a birthday party. From beginning to end, Xu Genbao was carefully arranging all this, which seemed to have other meanings. When he spoke highly of the young stars Wu Lei and Wang Shenchao who were present, people realized that this was not just a birthday celebration for the old-timers.
Xu Genbao's praise is undoubtedly a great affirmation of Wu Lei. He highlighted the star player's character and professional attitude – "no smoking, no drinking, no tattoos". The reason why these details of life attracted Xu Genbao's attention must not be accidental.
What is it that makes this football education titan think so highly of young player Wu Lei? And what makes him pay so much attention to the life style of the players? This series of questions has become a suspense at this birthday banquet.
A benchmark without compromise
To solve these mysteries, we might as well take a look back at Xu Genbao's achievements in the football world.
As the founder of China's football education, Xu Genbao has tirelessly cultivated countless outstanding players and many national stars have emerged. Under his leadership, the Chinese men's football team has created a number of historical best results and won glory for the country. It can be said that Xu Genbao has a high status in the Chinese football world and is known as the "godfather" of existence.
However, Xu Genbao is not only an excellent coach, but also an educator who advocates "playing well and being a good person". He has always believed that a good player should not only have excellent skills, but also have good moral character and professional ethics. It is this philosophy that has been throughout his coaching career for many years.
It is this belief that makes Xu Genbao consistent in player training. He requires his players to be strict and self-disciplined, not only to give their best on the field, but also to be extremely good off the pitch. For example, do not smoke, drink, or get any tattoos. In Xu Genbao's view, these details of life can not only shape a person's character, but also directly related to his performance in his career.
It is with this philosophy and coaching style that Xu Genbao has cultivated many outstanding players, who have not only achieved brilliance on the court, but also become role models in life. It can be said that Xu Genbao is a benchmark, he has always led by example, and used his practical actions to interpret what is the character that a truly good player should have.
Now, when Xu Genbao set his sights on Wu Lei again, he gave such the highest evaluation. He obviously saw in Wu Lei a character trait that was highly consistent with his own philosophy.
True success comes from within
To say why Wu Lei has attracted so much attention from Xu Genbao, we might as well take a look at the growth trajectory of this star player.
In 2013, Wu Lei became the hegemon of the Chinese Super League scorer list with his super high goal efficiency, and has been famous since then. In the following years, he has played for many giants at home and abroad, and has become the main striker of the national football team, winning countless glory for the country. It can be said that Wu Lei's professional football road has been soaring and has made remarkable achievements.
However, when we take a closer look at the state of the star's life, we find an interesting phenomenon. In this era of entertainment, many professional players will inevitably indulge in bad habits such as smoking, drinking, and tattoos. But Wu Lei has always maintained an extremely regular style of life and has never had any negative news.
This reflects from the side that Wu Lei's success is not limited to his outstanding performance on the court, but also comes from his inner insistence on professional ethics and self-requirements. It is this self-discipline character that has made his career brilliant today.
And this is exactly the concept that Xu Genbao has been pursuing. As a veteran coach, Xu Genbao clearly knows that the success of a professional player often requires both excellent skills and excellent morality.
He always believes that only by being strict with himself and maintaining good behavior norms in life can a person achieve real success in the arena. It's not enough to rely on ball skills alone, but also need inner support. It is this belief that runs through Xu Genbao's coaching path for many years.
It can be said that the spirit of self-discipline embodied in Wu Lei undoubtedly coincides with the concept that Xu Genbao has always adhered to. It's no wonder that at this birthday banquet, Xu Genbao spoke so highly of this star player.
As Xu Genbao said, "Although many people in today's society are pursuing personal interests, people who know how to be grateful and have good moral character can still achieve success." Wu Lei is such a best example. The values of "play well, be a good person".
Through the analysis of Wu Lei's growth trajectory, it is not difficult to find that the reason why Xu Genbao admires this star player so much is that the two of them are highly compatible with the concept of "playing good football and being a good person".
As the founder of Chinese football education, Xu Genbao has always adhered to such values. He believes that a good player needs not only to have excellent skills, but also to have good character and professional ethics. Only in this way can you achieve real success in your career.
And Wu Lei is the best practitioner of this concept. He has never indulged in bad habits such as smoking, alcohol or tattoos, and has always maintained a high degree of self-discipline and professional ethics. This inherent self-discipline not only shaped his excellent personal image, but also directly affected his outstanding performance on the field.
It can be said that Wu Lei is a vivid footnote to the concept of "playing good football and being a good person" that Xu Genbao has always advocated. Through this star player, we can clearly see the concrete practice and effect of this value.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Genbao will cheer for Wu Lei so enthusiastically. He clearly sees the young star as the best voice for his philosophy. At this birthday celebration, Xu Genbao also specifically mentioned this, hoping to pass on such values to more young players.
In fact, this philosophy applies not only to the world of football, but also to other walks of life. In this era of supremacy of interests, many people will inevitably be seduced by momentary fame and fortune, and ignore the moral cultivation that should be in their hearts. But as Xu Genbao said, real success comes from the heart, and only with good character can you get real glory in your career.
Wu Lei is the best proof of this concept. He relies not only on excellent ball skills, but also on his inner persistence and pursuit of professional ethics. This has allowed him to achieve great results not only on the pitch, but also as a respectable benchmark in life.
It is precisely when he sees this that Xu Genbao will cheer for Wu Lei so affectionately. In his eyes, Wu Lei is not only an outstanding player, but also the most vivid interpreter of his own philosophy. It is no wonder that he will emphasize Wu Lei's character and professional ethics at this birthday banquet, and regard them as the key to success.
Inheritance and innovation go hand in hand
So, why does Xu Genbao attach so much importance to this birthday celebration? Is it just to celebrate the longevity of a football senior?
It's not that simple. Behind this event, Xu Genbao undoubtedly has deeper considerations.
We noticed that in addition to Wu Lei, Xu Genbao also specially invited another star player, Wang Shenchao, to attend this birthday banquet. The presence of these two young players undoubtedly added a lot of vitality and significance to this celebration.
And the reason why Xu Genbao attaches so much importance to the presence of these two stars is obviously because he hopes to inherit the concept he has adhered to for many years. He wants to show more young players what it takes to be a really good professional player through such a public occasion.
It can be said that this birthday celebration is not only a simple celebration for Xu Genbao, but also an important moment for the relay of master and apprentice. Through such a public platform, he wants to pass on the concept of "playing well and being a good person" that he has adhered to for many years to the new generation of football stars.
Wu Lei and Wang Shenchao, as the two stars of the current Chinese Super League, the self-discipline and professional ethics they embody are undoubtedly the best interpretation of the concept pursued by Xu Genbao. Therefore, Xu Genbao specially invited them to participate, hoping to explain his educational philosophy to more young people.
It can be said that Xu Genbao's enthusiasm and intentions in this event actually stem from his deep concern for China's football career. He worries that in today's era of profit-oriented, many young players are prone to lose their way and sink into bad habits. This will undoubtedly have a serious impact on the long-term development of their careers.
Therefore, Xu Genbao hopes that through such a public event, he will convey to more young players the values he has adhered to for many years. He wants them to realise that real success comes from inner self-determination and work ethic, not just good performance on the field.
This is also the reason why Xu Genbao attaches so much importance to this birthday banquet event. In his view, this is not just a simple celebration, but an important moment of legacy. He hopes to spread his educational philosophy widely and let more young people realize the value of "playing well and being a good person".
It can be said that Xu Genbao's careful arrangement this time is his deep concern and responsibility for the development of Chinese football. He hopes that through his influence, more football stars can establish correct values and contribute to the future of Chinese football.
The "godfather" of football is looking forward to witnessing the birth of more star players like Wu Lei again one day in the future, who can not only achieve glory on the field, but also become role models in life. This is exactly what Xu Genbao has adhered to for many years, and it is also the ultimate goal of his celebration.
Let's wait and see, and look forward to Xu Genbao's educational concept of inheriting and innovating at the same time, which can truly inject new vitality into China's football industry and create more outstanding football stars!
