On behalf of the Chinese men's football team in the warm-up matches to complete the debut of the national football team in Chengdu Rongcheng goalkeeper, his youth team coach Xiang Xuchao accepted the "Red Star News" interview talked about his training.
Xiang Xuchao, a former goalkeeper for Chengdu Sheffield United's reserve team, retired from coaching and became a disciple of Xiang Xuchao when he was promoted to the U15 ladder at the Derry Football Training Center in 2015.
The first time we met was with Miaotao.
I really have a bond with this kid. Before I took him, I attended a goalkeeper coaching class in Chengdu. At that time, some players were invited to demonstrate and then I saw it. At that time, I thought the kid was very smart, his body line looked good and his legs were long. I told someone that this kid thought he would do well in the future and it would be good to bring him later. He ended up coming to me after the end of that year. At that time I took four goalkeepers, and now Chengdu Rongcheng still has Ran Weifeng, and the other two are now in college.
Jiantao in France
The truth is, I was lucky to meet these talented, self-disciplined, hard-working and diligent kids. I always knew what I wanted and where I should work hard and I never gave up on my goals. Going to France for a couple years at the time was very rewarding. I saw how the European pros demanded of themselves. When he was in France at the time, we communicated all the time. For a while, I advised him to come back because he couldn't play, but he always wanted to learn something in France.
At that time his rent in France was also due and he had no place to eat. Then he had to work and wash dishes in a local restaurant so that he could solve the problem of eating at the restaurant. All in all, his experiences in France during those years made him more self-reliant and experienced adversity so that he knew how to adjust himself.
Signing of occupational contracts
Arguably the best birthday present ever given to me! In his first game in the Chinese Super League, he was beaten by Qingdao Hainiu in the first half with three god-awful goals, but the reason he didn't break down in the second half was because of what those years of experience had brought him. After that, he became smoother and smoother. The game was largely error-free. He was firmly established as Chengdu Rongcheng's starting goalkeeper, was voted Super Monthly Goalkeeper of the Month, and was selected for the national team.
Selection of national soccer teams in the
As a matter of fact, I learned of the National Football Congress requirement before the league even ended this year, but never told him for fear of repercussions.
Soccer teams communicate during training
(I told him) you should always remember your goal and don't forget your original intention. He would tell me that he often chats with Wang Dalei in the team and Wang Dalei often gives him some advice. He said that there is really a lot to learn from Wang Dalei, his big brothers who have more than 400 games of experience in the Chinese Super League. I think this is a good thing.
Jian Tao's character
This kid is dominant on the court, but off the court, he's like a big kid who smiles and laughs all day long. This delightful personality endears him to every coach who takes him on, and his hard work and self-discipline impresses every coach. In fact, loud drums do not need heavy hammers, and there is nothing to warn, that is, I hope he learns more from his big brothers in the team, and ask for more advice from them.
One man's regret turns into a youth training primer
In fact, this is also my original intention when I chose to engage in youth training, that is, I hope to train more and better young players through my own efforts, so that more disciples can enter the professional field. If professional soccer is the top of the pyramid, then our youth training coaches are the base of the pyramid, so I also hope that more professional players can be like Zhang Chi-ming, who after retirement is committed to the youth training of Chinese soccer, and bring the valuable experience they have accumulated in professional soccer to our young players, so as to make the foundation of our soccer even stronger. In this way, more excellent talents will be born in Chinese soccer in the future.
