Last year, former Teda captain Murehematijan Mozapa was unable to reach a contract extension with the team for a long time, and after the contract expired, Hematijiang joined Shanghai SIPG as a free agent. It is reported that in order to win the Mai Tijiang, Shanghai SIPG offered a maximum salary of 12 million yuan. Recently, Mai Tijiang accepted an exclusive interview with the "Football" newspaper, talking in detail about the beginning and growth of his football career, as a Xinjiang AFC Champions League player and the first Xinjiang national footballer, he specifically talked about the advantages and disadvantages of Xinjiang players in football in the interview.
Mai Tijiang believes that the general Xinjiang players still have a relatively strong advantage in terms of physical fitness, because they are strong and tall, the people's style is fierce, enthusiastic, and their physical characteristics combine the characteristics of eastern and western people, so they have obvious physical advantages in Asia, especially in East Asia. However, Xinjiang players also have their own particularly lacking side! The economic level of Xinjiang is relatively backward, and naturally has a greater disadvantage with the central and eastern regions in the environment and level of football training, so Xinjiang players lack very good systematic training when they are young, which will make them relatively weak in terms of basic skills and awareness, which is where they need to work hard to improve and improve in their future training and careers.
Indeed, although the physical quality of Xinjiang players is more advantageous, which can make us less disadvantaged in the confrontation with West Asian teams. However, due to the relatively harsh objective conditions in Xinjiang, it is really rare that someone can embark on the road of professional football. So how did Mai Tijiang get out of Xinjiang, step by step to wear the TEDA captain armband, and finally become an international footballer and join the Chinese Super League giants? In this interview, Mai Tijiang revealed that he was thanks to a private boss and his grandfather!
When Mai Tijiang was a child, a private boss opened a simple "football school", and Mai Tijiang became a football student there with more than thirty other children. And when he was about 10 years old, he had the opportunity to study at Luneng Football School, but such an opportunity made his parents feel bad! Mai Tijiang is only 10 years old, Luneng Football School is thousands of miles away, what kind of school is she? What kind of life can he live at such a young age after going there? Even if you really devote yourself to learning football, what will your child get in the end? A series of problems made his parents very entangled, and most importantly, he was not at ease to leave him alone so far away. Unexpectedly, in the end, the grandfather who bought Tijiang made the most important choice for Mai Tijiang's life: go, go there and see a different world. In this way, there is now a chinese Super League outstanding player Mai Tijiang!
Luneng Football School
Mai Tijiang started, first of all, thanks to the private boss, a "football school" that allowed him to associate with football, which gave him the opportunity to enter the Luneng Football School. Before entering the Luneng Football School, a bold grandfather is also the east wind that Mai Tijiang cannot lack. So, maybe we never "lack Messi", we just lack the social environment to enlighten and bravely support Messi, if there are more football schools and parents like Grandpa Matijiang, I think in China's 1.4 billion people we will have more excellent players to be tapped out.
