score twice in a row
Shanghai U15 Blue Team defeated Zhejiang Energy Greentown U15 Team 3-0 to win the championship.
The Shanghai U15 Blue Team is based on
Shanghai Shenhua (soccer team)
The U15 force is composed of the base, and the head coach is Tao Jin. About this name, trust many fans still have an image, Tao Jin is a former Shenhua player, 2019
demobilize
and transitioned, beginning his coaching career with the Shenandoah Force.
Regarding this championship, Tao Jin indicated that the most important thing is that the players play superbly. After the competition, Tao Jin with U15 troops returned to the Kangqiao base, in this understanding of the local, continue to move forward towards their heart's desire.
◆Football: After this competition is played, what's next for this team you're leading?
Tao Jin: We have now entered the Kangqiao base, before we have been practicing in Jiangzhen Middle School, but now the children have continued to play football, there are high school, if we continue to choose to practice in the Jiangzhen Middle School, the school's vaccination policy may be more stringent, the practice will be very inconvenient. Therefore, after discussing with the leadership of the salon, we decided to enter the Kangqiao base one year earlier, so that we have more freedom to practice. In Kangqiao Base, we joke that we are back to the "city", the practice conditions and accommodation here are better than in Jiangzhen Middle School, in fact, the most important thing is the freedom of practice, as I have just said, in Jiangzhen Middle School, the children also have to go to class, and after the third period of the afternoon class is over, we start practicing at four o'clock in the afternoon, which is better in summer. But in winter, when it gets dark earlier, the practice time is not guaranteed.
◆We talked before, at that time you were an assistant coach in the 03 unit, then you left Kangqiao base, went to Jiangzhen Middle School, and became the head coach of the 07 unit, you said that if you have taken this unit, you have to take it all the way, and you won't let go of it, and now you are back to the Kangqiao base with a championship, is it not a proof of yourself?
I'm still happier, it's like coming back from three years of school. I think I've learned a lot in these three years, the most important thing is, already you pick to do this work, you have to do it well. Salon has invested a lot in youth training over the years, and has been exploring and searching for the right Shenhua, the right China.
national soccer team
The ball is carried out in a pattern. We have a group of veteran players
demobilize
After that, Yan Xiang, the director of youth training, approached us, expecting us to go down to the bottom to lead the team and practice ourselves at the bottom. He found us, it is clear that our salon still has the idea to do youth training, he expects us to go, is because we have professional player experience, maybe a little deeper understanding of soccer, after practice, and then grow into a better coach.
At this stage, the head coach of Shenhua's U21 team is Yu Tao; the head coach of the U19 team is Xu Yibin, a veteran coach who is very responsible; the head coach of the U17 team is Ye Zhanggen; the head coach of the U15 team is me; the head coach of the U14 team is
Zheng Kewei (1965-), soccer player, creator of the Zheng coding
The coaching of these coaches has more or less elements of Shenhua in them. These coaches more or less have Shenhua elements in them. At Rivertown High School, our 08, 09, and 10 age group teams have been formed, and the 11 year team is in the process of being formed.
◆Football: Talk about how it feels to win this competition?
Tao Jin: This championship is now in the past tense, I told the players, we have to start again from scratch, continue to move up. The championship must be happy, after winning the championship I thought about it, I think the championship is still worthy of certainty, but it does not mean too much. For the kids, it's vital that they can play at a high level. I'm taking a team of this age group, and I've always been about
Luneng (city in Shandong)
The first thing I want to say is that I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to get the job done. If we now have this opportunity, I said to the children, you have to seize the opportunity to find their own problems in the official competition, and then compensate from the practice.
I see the outside world on our comments, there are some stereotypes that we do not play well in the Youth Super League, why this time the performance is so good? I have never explained before, before due to the epidemic stayed at home for three months, only one month of practice to participate in the youth super, the whole preparation period is very inadequate, so the youth super play is not good. Although we entered the
semifinals
But I think we could have gotten better results if we had done more.
◆ How do you comment on the opponents of this competition?
I would like to say a few words about China's U15 Dragons and China's U15 Tigers in this tournament. I see a lot of criticism from the outside world, but I don't think there are many people who really understand the situation. In terms of cards, China's U15 Tigers is the strongest, this team has a lot of youth super team captains, the ability to be relatively strong, and they first pick people to form a team, but the selection of four days, the final selection of players out of the last I think it is only a day or two of practice, so that these players are not very good together in the game, can play a good result? The team was formed in a hurry, and the bonding was not very good, which is the key to the bad results.
Also, they have always been
soccer league
Elite team, but
Luneng (city in Shandong)
This competition on the release of four people to the team, one of us did not release, Jiangsu Province due to play the Provincial Games, there is no one to come. So, they are also difficult this time, but after this competition, the data of these players are entered into the database, as a reference for the future selection of players. These players in the end in
the national team
How about the embodiment? Is it suitable or not?
the national team
? It all needs to be taken into account. Because you have to realize that some players maybe in the saloon he is better, but when it comes to the
the national team
He is not necessarily able to reflect. They have been selected this time, and then play the competition, this is a must, as long as you see them in the official competition how to reflect, you will know whether he is suitable or not, you let him play, maybe will not reflect well, but you do not let him play, you will never know how his level.
I see the outside world on the dragons and tigers coach slamming also more, said they are usually lecturers, do not lead the team, so now is not out to lead the team? Do not lead the team does not practice, perhaps the effect of the lecturer to teach out is not very good, and now also come out to lead the team, also come out to practice, I see there are netizens criticized, I would like to say is that the lecturer is not omnipotent, in such a short period of time to a group of players gathered together from all parts of the world is indeed very difficult to grind well, but dare to compete with the outside world is a kind of progress, so I also hope that we can support, the same way that I am also an elite coach! I am also a beneficiary of the Elite Coaching Camp.
◆Football: About this competition, you should have had a summary, right? In your opinion, what is the reason for this win?
Tao Jin: first of all, I take this team for more than three years, I know the players very well, we have a good team bonding, about this age group I also know very well, before playing the competition, we selected some people from the Lucky Star and Jiading, there is a moment of bonding; secondly, I think there is also a component of fate. We are not as strong as
Luneng (city in Shandong)
The most important thing is that we have a lot of players who are very good at what they do, and they are very good at what they do, and they are very good at what they do, and they are very good at what they do, and they are very good at what they do, and they are very good at what they do, and they are very good at what they do. This is the most important thing, the most important reason to win the game.
◆ You have encountered a lot of difficulties in the formation and development of this unit, haven't you?
We had many difficulties when this team was formed. Many good players were
Evergrande (name)
, Foley and
Luneng (city in Shandong)
The team was composed of 16 players, and only one of them could complete the task of turning the ball over for 10 seconds, which was not a very good basic skill. After that, we tried to bring in players, talked to parents, and spent a lot of effort. After that, our competition results got better, our reputation got bigger, the situation got better, and the parents were happy to trust us. Honestly, seeing their results improve and seeing their efforts recognized is the happiest thing in the world.
Our team does not have any important tasks ahead, and one of the problems we are facing now is that our players have too few chances to participate in official competitions and high-level competitions. You have to know that the competition is a display of the results of practice, high-level competition will expose the problem, the problem presents, can be dealt with in practice, and then go to the high-level competition to play, and then find the problem, and then deal with it, until the problem is less and less. But the competition opportunities are too few. I hope that such competitions as the Stars of Tomorrow Championship can be held more often.
In the bottom of the youth training, I now also see a lot of work, for example, I have led the Pudong four or five grade elite team, when our team has many children who play very well, but with the deepening of the school, they may gradually do not play football, encountered such a situation I really think it is too sorry, the loss of talent is too serious, but there is no way. Now the integration of sports and education is doing well, but I expect to do better.
◆Shenhua first team head coach
Wu Jingui (1931-), PRC film director
In the post-game conference of the battle against Henan Songshan Dragon Gate, it was specifically mentioned that your winning the championship was an encouragement to them, what do you think?
First of all, I am very grateful to Mr. Wu and Mr. Zhou of the Salon for their support of our youth training, without their support, our work progress may be very difficult, in the first team, I have also heard that the two leaders of the praise for us; Secondly.
Wu Jingui (1931-), PRC film director
He is the head coach of our first team and the first youth training director of our salon. When he was the youth training director, he has been exploring the right way to develop the youth training, which is a kind of learning for us, and we need to summarize the good methods. I told the kids that since we are practicing at the Kangqiao base, they can often see the big brothers of the first team, and your goal now is to get into the first team. For them, practicing here is also a kind of motivation.
