After a period of depression and confusion, at the beginning of last year, just for the purpose of "going out to relax", Wang Jiayu was invited by Geng Yuanyi to drive to Zhoushan and relax with those "enthusiasts".
"Unconsciously, I found that I had gained a lot of weight, but the gap with them was still obvious, and after a few days of playing, I felt that I couldn't play anymore." But it was this trip to Zhoushan that inadvertently planted willows, so that Wang Jiayu once again found his own life goal...
Engage in youth training, first face the doubts of parents
"Zhoushan is not a big place, in addition to amateur adult football, there are also some small local clubs that regularly organize centralized training for playing teenagers, but the level of those children is really too poor."
There are football training classes for teenagers in Zhoushan, but they are only regular training for seven or eight children from nearby primary schools, and the organization is relatively loose.
"The key is that the basic skills are too poor, some children can't stop a ball on both feet, what technical requirements can you have for him?" And there are very few matches, and you lose a dozen of them in a single match with any other team..."
But seeing the bright smile on the face of the child who played football, Wang Jiayu came to strength, "I am probably destined to have a relationship with the island, when I was a child, I grew up in the Chongming base, and now I have come to such an island with mountains and waters, I have an idea, can I take root here, engage in youth training, like Xu Guidance?" ”
He was supported by Zhoushan 'footballers', and Zhu Xiaocheng, a young entrepreneur who loved football, directly invested in Wang Jiayu to start a youth club in Zhoushan.
And Wang Jiayu's decision also made Ms. Tang feel relieved, her son did serious things, and is still the most beloved football from childhood to adulthood, Ms. Tang immediately mobilized her personal resources to support her son from all aspects. With this support, wang Jiayu began to rent a house on Zhoushan Island in April last year and worked.
Everything was difficult at the beginning, and Wang Jiayu did not expect that the first challenge came from the parents' personal doubts about him.
"Now the information is very developed, Wang Jiayu's name is checked on the Internet, and the mistakes made can be clearly seen by everyone, can this kind of person bring their children well?" I don't blame others, I would think the same way if I were a parent! ”
But after just a few training sessions, parents changed their minds. "It's not so much that I changed them, it's better to say that they activated me, Wang Jiayu returned to the football field, although I am a novice as a coach, but Xu Coach and the old coaches of the base have been teaching by example for so many years, I am still a little emboldened."
Genbao heard that he had started youth training and immediately taught him a "secret recipe".— — Genbao personally sorted out the chart of the tactical system of "rushing to encircle and relay".
Player parents and other coaches believe that the biggest feature of Wang Jiayu's youth training is the word "strict", which is obviously directly affected by Genbao, and another point he inherited is to personally cut the details and grasp the action.
A group of naughty teenagers on the island were trained obediently in his hands, "About three months or so, I will take the team out to play again, and the parents and opponents have praised the change too much." "The children are not at all left behind, and the attack and defense are quite methodical.
Parents were relieved: "The child will be handed over to Wang for guidance!" "There are many more children being sent by their parents. The education department of Zhoushan City actively supported him to cooperate with the local school, and finally even the local clubs that had previously engaged in youth training chose to merge with them.
Team, the future will also be a foreign coach
Wang Jiayu's youth club is called YuanWen Ziyang, "in the name of the sons of my two partners and me." ”
Speaking of her son, Wang Jiayu was quite emotional, at that time, she chose to divorce, facing the pressure of debt, "for a long time, I can't tell if it is true or false, anyway, living separately is already a fact." To put it another way, let me have no other worries and concentrate on football! ”
In the past six months, he has returned to Shanghai several times, spending his time leading the team and competing, and has not seen his son.
Of course, you can't do your business alone, Wang Jiayu has several good partners to do with him, and they all have quite a "history", and Geng Yuanyi, who led him to Zhoushan, is naturally the first, and he also invited Shenhua retired players Liu Hongtao and Chen Xiaomao.
"They're all people who've been playing football for years and can bury their heads in things. Like Chen Xiaomao, who was also trained at Liverpool and had a broad vision, he was actually still young and unexpectedly retired from the league early. ”

However, in a year, Wang Jiayu has formed a fairly professional coaching team. He also paid a lot of money to hire a Spanish professional coaching team, and once wanted to hire Coco, who was the youth director of Reunion, to coach in Zhoushan, but because of the impact of the epidemic, foreign teachers could not come at present.
"I'm not doing youth training on a whim, now it's just for parents and people around me to see a little progress in the players, and in the future we have to do more, and we need a more perfect coaching team, including full-time goalkeeper coaches, physical coaches, medical, recovery, psychology and so on."
