Reporter Wang Wei reported that recently, Zheng Zhi, the captain of the Guangzhou team and assistant coach, appeared on the football field of Guangzhou Institute of Physical Education (hereinafter referred to as Guangzhou) to give lessons to the students of the sports institute, which was a trial lecture for him to apply for the teacher position of the school, accepting the assessment of Guangtian professors and experts, if passed, Zheng Zhi is expected to become Su Bingtian's second.
It is understood that the Guangdong judges and students have a very high evaluation of Zheng Zhi. In fact, this is not the first time That Zheng Zhi has "lectured", in 2015, Zheng Zhi participated in the variety show "Report! Coach", which is the first lecture, but at that time, facing stars such as Chen Yanxi and Joey Yung, at that time, Zheng Zhi was at ease and witty.
The 41-year-old Zheng Zhi is an evergreen tree in Chinese football, who has won the Chinese Footballer of the Year and the Asian Footballer of the Year, has a good reputation in Chinese football, and is currently serving as the captain and assistant coach of the Guangzhou team.
It should be noted that although he has not retired at present, Zheng Zhi has long made plans for the future, that is, to become a coach. In November 2017, Zheng Zhi participated in the D-level coach training course, and from July 11 to August 4 this year, Zheng Zhi completed the B-level coach training and took the exam, and next, he will launch an attack on the A-level and professional coaching certificates.
Generally speaking, the introduction of sports talents in colleges and universities is mainly from two aspects: excellent, literary and martial arts doctors or sports stars. Zheng Zhi belongs to the latter, and after arriving at the school, he can directly serve as the coach of the Cantonese football team.
In fact, Zheng Zhi himself is also a Cantonese person, and in 2014, he and Feng Xiaoting, who was still at Evergrande at the time, were admitted to the Guangdong Sports Training Football Major as high-level athletes.
In recent years, Guangti Football Academy has trained many outstanding graduates, who are active in the field of campus football and football youth education in Guangdong and even the whole country, and have senior football educators such as Zhou Yi, Guo Huiyi, Hong Yi, Wang Jun, Li Zhi, and international referee Li Haixin is also a lecturer of Guangti Football Academy.
Zheng Zhi went to Guangti to try to teach football, and needed to pass the interview of the management of Guangti Football Academy, the head of the football teaching and research department, the senior title of the college, the senior backbone teacher and the leader of the Guangti Personnel Office, if successful, it will be a win-win situation. It is understood that this year, Guangti has openly selected the deans and 2 division chiefs of 3 colleges nationwide, and the selection of high-level management talents has been very strong.
In fact, before Zheng Zhi went to Guangzhou to give a trial lecture, there was a precedent for high-level well-known athletes to serve as teachers in colleges and universities.
In 2018, Su Bingtian was hired by Jinan University as an associate professor in the School of Physical Education, and he is also a graduate of Jinan University, who was admitted to the School of Economics in 2009, majoring in international economics and trade, and graduated with a master's degree in 2017.
It should be noted that Zheng Zhi's tenure as a university teacher will not affect his continued work in professional football and even the future national team, of course, the specific matters need to be negotiated with Guangti.
Relevant people said that the introduction of Zheng Zhi will enhance the popularity of the broad body, and for Zheng Zhi, it is also necessary to transform from excellent players to excellent football educators, and it is more necessary to change from the football competition pattern to the football education pattern and goals.
