Should football really join the gaokao?

Hello everyone, I'm seeing you again on the familiar Thursday night. Considering that these two days are the college entrance examination season, the topic of this issue will start from here.

Should football really join the gaokao?

This year's college entrance examination time is 2-3 days from June 7, and the provinces and cities are slightly different. Leaving aside the distant history of the examination system, in the value judgment accepted by most ordinary people, including you and me, exactly 40 years after the resumption of the college entrance examination, the college entrance examination is a "one test for life" examination. Like the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944, which were only a day earlier, some believe that the entire World War II was turned around in 24 hours.

Is this true? Don't rush to give an answer, first look at some small questions.

During the 2006 World Cup in Germany, a classmate who usually did not watch the ball asked the 14-year-old me this question: "Why can't 11 people in China have 1.3 billion people to enter the World Cup?" "The problem is still too big.

A few days ago, a friend chatted with me and asked me to add football to the "one test for life" college entrance examination luxury package, can the candidates practice football for the whole people to improve the level of Chinese football? As a person who has experienced both the college entrance examination and a little understanding of football, I can finally make an answer. Let's start with the method of taking soccer.

Football has joined the "one test for life"

Leaving aside the "football characteristic schools" that most of us do not have access to, whether we support it or not, football as part of the sports examination has been incorporated into the high school entrance examination system.

Starting from 2016, Beijing, Zhengzhou, Wuhu, Zhongshan, Fuzhou, Ningbo and other places have included football in the examination items. The specific test is to take the ball around the pile.

Simply put, it is 30 meters with the ball and 5 piles around the way. As for the scoring criteria, take my hometown of Fuzhou as an example:

When I took the middle school exam in 2008, I could only take the basketball around the pile, but I played football for several years in junior high school, and only scored about 70 points. If my score does not reach 75 points, even if the level of cultural classes is up to standard, I will not be able to go to the provincial level school. And the harsh truth is that I didn't achieve both...

According to last year's report (Fuzhou Evening News), most of the more than 150 people who took the exam reached the level of A (>90). However, according to the ratio of more than 20,000 people who take the exam in Fuzhou a year, this number is still quite small.

Adding football to the sports entrance examination and entering a different high school may change the fate of some people.

Let's take a look at the college entrance examination. In fact, in the special examination for high-level sports students, it is somewhat similar to the middle school entrance examination sports, which is a compulsory examination + optional examination project, and football technology is one of the contents of the special examination, which is common, we will not mention it. The exception is the option of special enrollment of men's football teams in these institutions of Tsinghua Peking University.

Take Peking University as an example:

Judging from this table, the content of the exam is still relatively comprehensive, and the ball sense, basic techniques and the content of the game are all there. But like the college entrance examination, it is only taken once in these two days. Previously, the North Polytechnic, which fought in the middle of the first division and the second division, was a door for the candidates with special skills in football, and they had the opportunity to play when they were admitted. Now, Tsinghua Peking University can also choose, but it is not easy even if the football ability is passed, the cultural class exam must meet the requirements before admission, but it is also a doorway.

But to be honest, there are not many people who can benefit from this path, and in recent years, Wu Wenyu, who has reported more media in Chongqing, is the only one. While in high school in Chongqing, he organized inter-school competitions and participated in Bayern's training camps in Indonesia. Even so, he scored 590 points in the college entrance examination to get the only place in Chongqing. According to Tsinghua's policy, 20 points below the first line will be no play. Peking University is easier, and also gets the second line.

From this point of view, in terms of the current upward passage of football in the middle and high school entrance examinations, it is more difficult than the general examination of a heavy book and a school. Even in some provinces where the college entrance examination hell mode is, it is difficult for many people to plan to use this mode to pass the pass. If you like to play football, junior high school to deal with it, pass the middle school exam. And a little common sense knows that the short-term assault of football technology is far from jumping rope, and it is easier to set up a long jump.

As for the more extreme concepts of "all students practicing football" and "directly including football scores in the total score of the college entrance examination", they are as ridiculous as practicing "football exercises" to enter the World Cup, and they are not worth refuting.

Football is not very suitable for "one test for life"

— Who is stronger, Ed and Griezmann?

The previous set of test methods, in the case of the relatively large difference in youth football's personal skills and physical fitness, in the case of taking into account efficiency and fairness, can still achieve the effect of "preferring to kill three thousand by mistake, not to let go of one". But if you want to accurately and objectively evaluate the level of a player, you can't reflect it by a day or two, a few games.

Let's take a more extreme example. In last year's European Championship final, French striker Griezmann did not score, and Portugal won the championship with a substitute striker Ed Tursh Cold Arrow.

However, after the big game ended and Portugal won the cup, it was still difficult to remember him. The 29-year-old has scored 75 goals in 298 appearances in his career in 11 years, averaging less than seven goals a year. He had previously played in the Portuguese league and in the 15-16 season he did not score in the Premier League. Halfway back in Ligue 1, he scored 13 goals in a year and a half.

At that time, Griezmann, Olivier Giroud, Guignac and other people in the opposite French team started with 100 goals in their careers, and the younger Martial also scored 40 goals in his 5-year career. Can you say that Ed can be better than the likes of Griezmann? Obviously not.

Therefore, a new question arises, how to judge a player's ability relatively objectively and accurately? Many friends may blurt out: Look at the game values! For example, in fm!

Admittedly, fm or fifa provide values that can be relatively objective in reflecting a player's current ability and the potential expectations of a professional. However, wanting to be a "scout" who accurately judges the ability of a player is not an easy task that can be done by "buying fm- opening file search - screenshot".

Can't read the data, than the size also knows, Griezmann is definitely better than Ed.

When the hard work of scouts is directly quantified into numerical values, they are simply and crudely divided into three categories: technical, physical, and mental.

Among these values, the body values can be accurately reflected through physical examination reports and the like. Technical values such as shooting, passing, dribbling, mainly through data, combined with appropriate observations, are relatively easy.

The numerical values of the spirit, that is, the subjective impressions that we often describe as the player's "running undead, fighting hard, running position, wide vision, excellent defensive prediction..." that everyone can draw by watching the ball, requires a long period of observation by the scout. As a fan, you can emotionally think that Ronaldo has both running and shooting skills, always can easily eat cake, Kante covers all the land and so on... The scout's job is to "speak" these perceptual understandings to the club or the producer, and finally let us intuitively understand them in another way.

The generation of all these values requires a large number of scouts to carry out massive investigation work and carefully judge through huge reports. This is why some clubs/professionals refer to the game values in part. Because to evaluate a player's abilities in detail, and whether it matches the needs of the team, the amount of work is too large.

But even such repeated inspections will have times when you are punched in the face. Or to give the simplest example of violence: Vardy.

In Leicester City's 14-15 season, which had just been promoted to the Premier League, Vardy was more average, and even with a 5-3 strike against Manchester United, he only had 5 goals and 8 assists. Coupled with the fact that the evaluation ability value also takes into account the overall performance and fame of the team, Vardy's ability value is very dismal. To put it bluntly, in the final data patch of the season, Leicester City could have considered sweeping him out of the house, and this level can only play in the Championship.

Everyone knows what happened in the 15-16 season, Vardy as the arrow of the Blue Foxes to lead the team through the level to win the Premier League title. After two data updates that season, Vardy went from a striker who had difficulty playing in the Championship to a premier league striker. These things happened after he used his goal to silence the doubters.

Of course, his heroic performance is the same as Leicester City's victory, not only the data provider, the producer, but also the authorities and football celebrities have not expected, and it is normal to have to be punched in the face. It can't be said that the coach who drove him away from Sheffield Wednesday because of his short stature has no eyes, but that Steve Walsh, who has been poached to Everton, has too poisonous eyes.

So, while my example is quite a bit of a "survivor paradox", "one test for life", one judgment to determine the fate of a player, is obviously not very good in football.

World War II did not turn around with the Normandy landings on 6 June, but rather the end of Germany's invasion of the Soviet Union or Japan's sneak attack on the United States.

And so it is now. Although a certain exam is important, but the accumulation of small flashes and achievements in life will bring some different changes to your future, which is not something that a few invigilators or grading teachers can judge.

So I really don't know why, as a super bad liberal arts candidate with a word, I can get the highest score in the college entrance examination in three years, take the first place in the class (school), and just be a chicken head, really no egg use...

But thank you all for your success and good luck with your homework/exams/work!
