On February 25, Zhao Ying, a member of the Linyi Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, suggested in an interview with the public network reporter that we should increase the support for youth football, increase football venues, and cultivate more youth football talents for Linyi.

Zhao Ying introduced that Linyi City attaches great importance to the popularization of youth football, and at the end of 2016, her husband, Feng Xiaoting, the current captain of the Chinese national team and the captain of the Guangzhou Evergrande Football Team, was appointed as the image ambassador of Linyi Football, which fully demonstrated Linyi City's determination to vigorously develop football. However, there are fewer professional football stadiums in Linyi, which restricts the popularity of football to a certain extent, and the construction of a certain number of football fields in suitable locations is the wish of many Linyi citizens.

Zhao Ying suggested that we should increase capital investment and policy support, especially in the inner bund green space in the appropriate position on both sides of the Yihe River in Linyi City, and plan to build a professional training (competition) venue for football sports for youth football training, training and competition, so as to cultivate more youth football talents for Linyi.

Zhao Ying also suggested that a youth football school be established in Linyi, after the establishment of the school, it can introduce a team of senior coaches, import the cultivated football talents into major domestic clubs, and then establish a football club in Linyi when the conditions are ripe, train more and better youth football seedlings, and create a youth football team for Linyi in the near future that cannot be ignored in domestic football, and also let football become the endorsement of Linyi and become a beautiful business card of Linyi.
