Stick to youth training

Zhejiang professional football blooms brilliantly

"Ten years of gathering, ten years of lessons, hard work and courage, three thousand Yue Jia can swallow Wu. This is the best interpretation of Zhejiang spirit.

Don't aim too high, just take it one step at a time, and work hard over time, and that touch of green will surely become a shade. "This is the heartfelt words of a senior Zhejiang fan.

On September 18, 2021, the night when Zhejiang U20 Men's Football Team won the National Games, many Zhejiang fans did not forget to thank them while being excited. Lao Song - Song Weiping. For Zhejiang fans and Chinese football youth training, Song Weiping is a name that cannot be forgotten.

"Without Lao Song, there would be no Greentown Football School. There would be no Greentown youth training that has persisted for more than 20 years, nor would there be this Zhejiang U20 championship team. "This sentence also aroused screams from Zhejiang fans.

Greentown football originated from the youth army and has never given up on the youth army. The name of Greentown football's first team is Greentown Youth first team. After the club was established, it took only two years to build a complete youth training team starting from the age of ten. This is also very rare in the history of Chinese professional football. Jiao Fengbo, general manager of the club, said that Zhejiang Football has always been deeply involved in the field of youth training, and has laid a solid foundation step by step. Including now in the Chinese Super League and Chinese League One, there are many players from Zhejiang FC (Zhejiang Professional Football Club), creating a solid foundation and lineup. Stable Greentown football youth training system. Unfortunately, it has always lacked a championship. It can be said that the flowers bloom and the fruits are not picked. At the Shaanxi National Games, this championship finally ushered in the flowering and fruiting. It also represents the future. Zhejiang Football has the ability to carry and place more hopes on Chinese football. Now, from U9 to U20, Zhejiang FC has established such a complete youth training structure. It is also rare in many Chinese Super League clubs. "Single-age teams can ensure that every age group is protected. This should be the direction we stick to in the future. No matter which age group gets the chance to participate, you can send a team. " Jiao Fengbo said bluntly.

After the U20 won the championship, good news also spread in the mass group and echelon competitions of the National Games. The Zhejiang team of the men's football eleven in the enterprise group defeated the Shandong team and won the championship, and the Zhejiang team won the sand football match The first place trophy was won through a penalty shootout. Among the two winning teams, 11 players came out of the Greentown Football School.

Two weeks ago, Zhejiang Professional Football Club U16. The echelon won the "Jinshan Cup" with an undefeated record. It is worth mentioning that the Zhejiang U16 team "bloomed more" throughout the series, defeating many strong teams, and also won the "Top Scorer" and "Top Scorer" of the tournament. In addition, there are two awards for "Best Player" from Zhejiang players in the national youth team - in August this year, 2006 teenagers Zhao Yurui and Qian Yuanfan of Zhejiang Professional Football Club were selected for the training and competition roster of China's national youth U16. . In this tournament, both of them were in the National Youth Team B and both performed well. Zhao Yurui scored 3 goals in the 5 rounds, especially in the fourth round. With the next player, Zhao Yurui ran 60 meters to score a wonderful goal. The U9 echelon, which had only been officially formed for one month, also won the "Taihu Cup" championship trophy.

The men's football team has made great achievements. , the women's football team is not inferior to women. At the National Games, this U20 team, which consists of two assistant coaches and 28 players, almost all independently trained by Zhejiang Women's Football Team, also won a silver medal in the National Games in 2016. At the beginning of the team formation, they were only ranked outside the 10th place among teams of the same age group in the country. It was common for their opponents to score four or five goals in a game, but no one gave up. Head coach Li Zheng also gave up time and time again. He encouraged them: "You all came to this team because you like playing football. It is easy for a person to give up, but as long as you persist, we will definitely not be worse than any other team." "This persistence finally paid off. In the 2017 National Women's Football Championship, the team won the championship with its outstanding performance. It staged the "dark horse miracle" for the first time and also allowed the girls to see the direction of their future efforts.

Zhejiang’s step-by-step football model that takes root in youth training is a model that conforms to the laws of football development. As long as we can continue to do so, day after day, year after year, Zhejiang will surely develop more achievements. The beautiful flower of football

Newcomers come to the fore

Be dedicated to helping and guiding Zhejiang basketball

In the history of the National Games. In the past, Zhejiang’s basketball program has always missed medals. This time, the basketball program finally made a breakthrough. In addition to Wan Jiyuan representing the United Team, Yu Jiahao’s remarkable performance became the new hope of Zhejiang Basketball.

In the three-person women's adult basketball gold medal match at the National Games, the Olympic team composed of Zhejiang player Wan Jiyuan, Yang Shuyu, Zhang Zhiting, and Wang Lili defeated the Henan team 20:15 and won the gold medal.

According to the rules of the competition, Zhejiang also won 1 gold medal. This gold medal was the first gold medal in the Zhejiang Basketball National Games, creating a new history of Zhejiang Basketball.

Wan Jiyuan, who was born in 2002, was originally trained by Zhuji Junma Basketball School. Gu Jiaqing, the coach of the Zhejiang Women's Basketball Youth Team at the time, had an idea to find players from Zhuji, "Because the players in Zhuji have a fierce playing style and are so energetic. Wan Jiyuan is the one. I suggest keeping her." "As expected, this little girl not only has the fierce playing style unique to Zhuji players, but is also hardworking and smart, and she quickly made a name for herself.

In the National Games men’s basketball competition, the Zhejiang U19 men’s basketball team won the silver medal, and the U22 men’s basketball team won the third place. It is worth mentioning that the Zhejiang team is a "father and son team". Head coach Yu Leping and main player Yu Jiahao are a father and son in basketball. Yu Leping once played for the national team. The 18-year-old Yu Jiahao is currently a second-line player of the Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team. He has been selected for the National Youth Team of multiple age groups. Coupled with his height advantage of 2.20 meters, he is regarded as a "potential player" of the national team. ". In August 2019, Yu Leping led the Zhejiang Men's Basketball Youth Team to compete in the Second National Youth Games. Yu Jiahao also returned from the United States to represent the Zhejiang team. Yu Leping took his son to various leagues and tournaments, and the father and son often became the focus of camera shots on the sidelines.

In this National Games, after Yu Jiahao finished the U19 game, he immediately appeared on the U22 court and contributed a double-double of 21 points and 18 rebounds in the final game, becoming a hero. Yu Leping also has high expectations for his son - there is no doubt that he is looking forward to his son wearing the national jersey and fighting for the motherland.

Focusing on local players is the Zhejiang team’s idea when building the team. In recent years, Zhejiang has adhered to the construction of a youth training system and team basketball play, reviving the tradition of "small, fast and agile", allowing "post-90s" players to take the lead, emphasizing hard training and repeated breakthroughs in performance. In the past five or six years, this group of players have won championships in the national men's basketball competitions for under 15, under 16 and under 17 years old, and also won the Social Club Group B of the Second National Youth Games in 2019. Women's basketball champion, third place in the under-18 youth group at the 2017 Tianjin National Games and other achievements.

Among the younger teams, Zhejiang Sports Vocational and Technical College cooperated with Zhuji Hailiang School to build the Zhejiang Hailiang NBA Elite Training Center, working together to create a national benchmark for the integration of education and sports, and at the same time assuming the responsibility of Zhejiang Men’s The talent training task of the third basketball team. The coaching team has been committed to exploring and researching the most scientific and high-quality methods to teach and develop students' basketball skills.

Inheritance between old and new

Volleyball veterans and new recruits fight bravely

At the National Games, the Zhejiang Youth Men’s Volleyball Team won the silver medal. Tying the best record in the National Games. The Zhejiang Men's Volleyball Team won the bronze medal in the National Games for the first time in 20 years.

Regarding the overall performance of the team at this year's National Games, Zhejiang Men's Volleyball Team head coach Wu Sheng gave affirmation, showing great performance in terms of technique and tactics. Since 2018, the Zhejiang Men's Volleyball Team has begun to focus on basic skills. Despite the impact of the epidemic and the suspension of the league, every player has always insisted on training hard.

Like Wu Sheng, Zhejiang Youth Men’s Volleyball Head Coach Gong Zaifeng looked at these childish young men on the podium, and his memory went back to four years ago - in the 2017 Tianjin National Championships. At the Games, Gong Zaifeng led the Zhejiang Youth Men's Volleyball Team to win the runner-up in the younger age group. Four years later, the athletes he once trained such as Zhang Jingyin, Li Yongzhen, Zhang Guanhua, Yang Yiming and other players have become the main force of the Chinese men's volleyball team. Gong Zaifeng introduced that the 12 members of the Zhejiang Youth Men's Volleyball Team are all local players, sent by junior sports schools in various cities and counties (cities and counties), with a large age span, from 2001 to 2007. "At the beginning of this competition, I went with the mentality of attacking my opponent. I didn't expect that I would make it all the way to the finals and be just one step away from the championship."

This is the 12th game coached by the 43-year-old Gong Zaifeng. year. As a coach with roots in youth training, Gong Zaifeng knows how to knit a youth team into a whole from scratch.

A team is formed every 4 years, and a review is conducted every 4 years. After the game, seven members of the Zhejiang Youth Men's Volleyball Team reported to the first team. The remaining younger players will form a new U20 youth team with members of the third-tier team. At present, a new journey to prepare for the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao National Games has begun.

The beach volleyball team, which won the first gold medal in Zhejiang’s big ball event at the last National Games, still performed well this time. On the men's side, the Zhejiang Youth Team's Hong Weiqiang/Fang Yi combination won the gold medal, while the women's adult team of Zhejiang and Xinjiang Team Wang Fan/Xia Xinyi defended their title.

Beach volleyball training is mostly done outdoors, especially in summer when the weather is hot and the temperature of the sand underfoot is above 40 degrees Celsius. This brings great challenges to athletes who play in high temperatures, and their skin becomes tanned and shiny. It became the standard equipment of the team members. The leading figure is Wang Fan. Under her leadership, Zhejiang Sand Volleyball won the championship at the Tianjin National Games, won the gold medal at the Jakarta Asian Games, and defended the title at the current National Games, writing Zhejiang's glory in the history of sand volleyball competitions.

Wang Fan’s success is inseparable from her diligence and long-term accumulation. "Wang Fan joined the team in 2004. At that time, the focus of the team was on a few veteran players. No one expected that she would bring such a big surprise later." Coach Ma Jun was full of praise when mentioning Wang Fan, saying that his training efforts and quality Good and talented are the words he often talks about, "She has a high golf IQ and can use her brain to play. She can draw inferences from one example. Others may practice an action three or four times, but she can often do it in one go. " < /p>

Before the National Games, Wang Fan suffered third-degree meniscus tears in both knee joints, and he did not practice skills systematically for a month or two. After the COVID-19 epidemic, her opportunities to participate in international competitions were greatly reduced, which also made her struggle for a time. "I didn't train for two days before the game. Even though I was mentally prepared, I still had no idea." At this point, Wang Fan paused, "I really want to thank my coach and team. It's not easy to stand up." . ”

Compared with the adult team, the Zhejiang youth first team has not been established for a long time. Fang Yi was selected into the provincial team from Hangzhou Chen Jinglun Sports School in July last year. Hong Weiqiang was one year earlier than Fang Yi. They are famous for being "too tired to die" - Fang Yi ranked first in the national physical fitness test, and Hong Weiqiang ranked fourth. But behind this, there is also objective helplessness. "Our players are not tall enough, so we can only strengthen their physical fitness." Wang Weizhong, head coach of the Zhejiang Sand Volleyball Men's Team, said that the physical advantage is innate, but physical fitness can be made up for through training. "With the foundation of physical fitness, when the opponent is unable to fight at the critical moment, we can still fight. If the opponent has no physical strength and is distracted, we can still concentrate." Physical strength is the basis, and this is the key to victory.
