Specifically by what to win gold? Genbao's statement is: "To manage, to train. The courage to win gold, out of talent, have style, the three are linked together."
Secondly, Xu Genbao said "follow Guardiola's idea", indicating that the old coach live to learn old, adhere to the path of lifelong learning. Why "follow Guardiola's idea", Xu Genbao just envy others pick up the golden trophy, to give himself some good psychological hints?
In my opinion, it's not that simple. "Follow Guardiola's ideas because he has a very modern and clear idea of soccer. He can win the title in one place, in Barcelona, Bayern, Manchester City." Xu Genbao told reporters, now he and the coaching staff every night to watch Manchester City's game video, more technical and tactical level: "Emergency encirclement, transmission is our base has always been implemented in the style of the All-Sports team was established in a short period of time, June immediately have to learn the task of the Youth Association's games. In the overall offense and defense, we first learned some complete and targeted counterattacks, Guardiola asked for 7 seconds of midfield snatch and press, very suitable for us."
Learning the fundamentals of technology is king
In 2000, Xu Genbao committed himself to building a soccer base on Chongming Island. Now, he has been committed to sharpening his sword for 23 years, producing a large number of international players such as Wu Lei and Zhu Chenjie. During his time teaching one baby army after another, Xu Genbao's learning direction seems to be constantly adjusting. At first, Xu's goal was to "create a Chinese Manchester United". At the time, United was in its heyday under Alex Ferguson. In addition to the weakness of the championship, young people also appeared to take over.
You can never expect a group of young players to win anything! But after Ferguson threw his hat in the ring in 1995 and relied on these youngsters to win the league, the "Red Devils Class of 92" youngsters ruled the Premier League for the rest of the 1990s. In addition to learning from the successes of the champions, Xu Genbao also established Chinese Manchester United and, more importantly, learned from the development model of the club's new coach.
Behind the slogan of creating Chinese Manchester United is Xu Genbao's ten-year sword sharpening model of club development: a meritorious coach, with a young army of close guards who have been playing soccer together since they were small, constantly pursuing the dream of championships. Reality has also proved that the goal of China United has been realized after the team won the successive championships of China B, China A and China Super League.
In terms of technique and tactical style, Xu Genbao used to emphasize "Barcelona's style of play". "After watching Spain win the European Championships in 2008, I realized that Barcelona is more suitable for us for the team." Xu Genbao said at the time, Shanghai Dongya team players body general, similar to the Spanish team, relatively small, "TV station every Barcelona game video, I want to ask them to study, Barcelona midfield core play, has become the main tactics of our game."
Before and after the 2009 National Games, Xu Genbao believes that the two technical stream teams in Shanghai and Guangdong will be the hope for the future of Chinese soccer, "have feet, go to the world. The development trend of world soccer is to take the road of technology. Now Guangdong and Shanghai are taking this road, including the national team coached by Gao Hongbo, also take the technical road, which is the right road. I am very happy to see this change in Chinese soccer." Obviously, Xu Genbao is now talking about learning from Manchester City, in the final analysis, is to implement the concept of "technology is king".
Dare to challenge and stand up to the tide
Whether it's "building a Chinese Manchester United", "learning from Barcelona" or "following Guardiola's ideas", Xu Genbao's personality traits and brand of life are all based on his willingness to learn and challenge. In 1993, Shenhua became the first professional soccer club in China, and Xu Genbao became the first manager of Shenhua; after the team finished third in 1994, he directly announced in early 1995: "If you can't finish in the top three, fire yourself."
When Xu Genbao was working as Schlapner's assistant, he learned that many German coaches had started their own youth training clubs. Instead of "going in one ear and out the other", he bravely took the plunge and in 1995, the "02 Club" was set up by the Shanghai Football Association (SFA), Shanghai Cable TV and Xu Genbao, with the aim of cultivating soccer talents for the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan. The emergence of talents such as Du Wei, Yu Tao, Sun Ji and Sun Xiang allowed Xu Genbao to accumulate experience in youth training, paving the way for future great work on Chongming Island.
The autobiography book after winning the championship in 1995, going south to Guangzhou Songri in 1997, going north to Dalian Wanda in 1998, naming the website after himself in 2000, and participating in the "Dancing Forest Congress", which sparked a lot of controversy with his dashing dance moves... Along the way, Xu Genbao has always stood at the forefront of social reform, almost stepping on the pace of each era.
Liu Jun, Xu Genbao's disciple, once said, "The biggest characteristic of Xu's guidance is that he is good at learning and advancing with the times. In fact, successful head coaches are very powerful. What is a career? Career is to establish a standard like him.In 1994, we began to be forced to encircle. It is no exaggeration to say that it laid the foundation for our generation of Shenhua for 10 years. There is a saying, 'Yao Ming's height, Liu Xiang's speed, Genbao's intensity ......', and it's really true."
As he continues to learn the advanced concepts of European soccer, will Xu Genbao forget why he started? This concern is redundant. In the meeting room of the Genbao base, there is a huge "overall attack and defense training system" tactical board, both basic tactics and positional skills of individual characteristics, but also mandatory defense, passing and attacking routine training concepts and detailed requirements. Xu Genbao said: "This is the crystallization of my coaching career of continuous learning and summarization, these experiences are always open to young coaches who love to learn ......."
