Wang Jianjun: Suzhou started women's soccer since 2000
Youth training work, now also more than twenty years. For our women's soccer team
Practitioners, for their part, are very excited about the introduction of this policy and believe it will give women's football
The work is carried out in a way that brings more opportunities.
Luo Ranfeng: My focus is very close to President Wang's, but I tend to look at it from the perspective of an ordinary fan. My greatest hope for the effect of the policy lies in whether or not I will be able to feel a more pronounced women's soccer around me in the future.
Sports atmosphere, for example, will I have more opportunities to meet girls who play soccer when I play soccer on a daily basis.
Zhang Wen: This is the time to release a report on women's soccer
of the policy, what context might be relevant?
Wang Jianjun: women's soccer at the beginning of the year
Winning the Asian Cup
Championships that get a lot of attention. Women's soccer
The overall performance of the team has been relatively good, and it has done better than the men's soccer team in "going global".
Preferred.

Zhang Wen: Compared to the last time we represented the world at the highest level, global women's football
The sport has changed a lot. At the turn of the century, the strongest teams were mainly the Chinese women's soccer team
U.S. Women's Soccer
Norwegian women's soccer team
German women's soccer team
And so on. But now women's soccer in Europe
The level of play has skyrocketed, for example, England's women's soccer team, which is in the same group as ours.
Its development is facilitated by the men's soccer team
Some of the resources, such as the club, the youth system and other boosts, are now European champions. Would it be a little more difficult for us to hopefully get back to the top now than it was back then?
Wang Jianjun: Yes. Back in the day when we had the Olympics
World Cup
When we finished second, we went to a professional model, and the European women's soccer team at the time
It is still in the amateur system. Now that people are paying attention to it, they are investing a lot in developing talents, and women's football
The tournament is also very much in the spotlight, with the Europa League
90,000 people in attendance for the final. Now we want to be in the World Cup again
Or the Olympics.
It is definitely much more difficult to achieve good results. To achieve the goal, it is very crucial to start from the youth training aspect.
The problem of youth training is also a problem of education
Zhang Wen: President Wang mentioned youth training, which is closely related to some of the goals in the policy. For example, on the competitive level, next year's World Cup
The year after the Olympics
Strive for top eight, 2027 World Cup
2028 Olympic Games
Strive for top four, 2031 World Cup
2032 Olympic Games
Strive for the top three. And the youth training itself has a clear goal of building a women's soccer team similar to the Taihu base in 2025
The number of youth training centers reached 30. Now the Chinese women's soccer team
What is the reserve talent pool? How many youth training centers are there?
Wang Jianjun: According to my understanding, there are now about 14 or 15 women's soccer teams in China
Youth Training Center. Jiangsu and Shanghai have traditionally been in the women's soccer
The youth training aspect is doing well. The Jiangsu Provincial Games established two divisions of women's soccer in 2000
matches, with age groups ranging roughly to 85-86 and 87-88. Shanghai's Putuo District catches women's soccer
Caught very early, they usually start selecting from kindergarten and enter systematic training in elementary school year.
In contrast, we just started the women's soccer
Youth training, mainly based on the age group set up by the Provincial Games to focus on the corresponding age group of the team, about eleven or twelve years old before the start of the system to form a team, compared to Shanghai later in a cycle. Later we cooperated with Suzhou Taihu National Tourism Resort District Culture, Sports and Tourism Development Bureau, the venue resources increased, coupled with being named women's football
Youth Training Center, we will be based on the CFA's
The requirement to increase the age range of the ladder. The youngest age group is now 13-14, which is around seven or eight years old.
Taihu base children in training
Zhang Wen: When we discuss youth training, we usually talk about it in conjunction with the soccer population, but it is actually two different stages. The first is to expand the population and increase the number of girls participating in soccer; then it is to screen for talent, to retain the seedlings found from the participating population through the youth training system. What is the current status of the process of bridging the two in the country?
Wang: There is definitely a need to develop the soccer population. Twenty years ago we mainly did elite player training, but then we encountered the challenge of children's prospects. If a child specializes in soccer, but the problem of future prospects is not solved, parents will have a big opinion. Now our thinking has changed, it is to increase the number of people who play soccer first. But there are really a lot of challenges as to whether we can screen out the elites, such as the issue of teachers. Now retired
Fewer people work in grassroots coaching after that.
Zhang Wen: the programme refers to optimizing the national team
Run the team mode, adhere to the combination of state-run and social-run, and actively explore the joint building of national teams at all levels with localities, colleges and universities, as well as clubs.
.. So is there any chance that the way forward for practicing kids is to join forces with colleges and universities to explore this?
A view of Suzhou Taihu Soccer Center
Wang Jianjun: Now the youth piece of education is very important, against only playing soccer without learning. We try to let the children playing soccer not be delayed school, including out of the game as much as possible to let the cultural teacher accompanied, so that the evening can also help the children to make up for the lessons, so that they do not fall behind too many courses.
Zhang Wen: discussing men's soccer
When it comes to youth training, there are often voices pointing out that the men's soccer team that is currently still playing soccer
The best batch of players are still from the 85-87 age group, which happens to be the last batch of purely professionally trained players, who later started the model of both professional and vocational. Women's soccer
Which model is dominant at present? What model do you think should be favored in the future?
Wang Jianjun: Taihu Base Women's Soccer
Youth training is still based on the "three-centralized" (training, study and accommodation) model, with all children training in one school. Men's soccer
is in a position to adopt the walk-in training system because of the large number of participants. For example, in Suzhou, there are more than 260 National School Football Characteristic Schools, which usually cooperate with youth training organizations, so that the training conditions and environment are guaranteed, and there can be full competition between schools and organizations. While conducting women's soccer
There are fewer schools in the program, and it is more difficult to ensure training time and quality with a walk-in system. It is likely to lose seedlings if the good ones are not pooled together.
Traveling around the world to see different role models
Zhang Wen: The program has repeatedly mentioned supporting players' overseas development, establishing overseas offices or overseas youth training centers, as well as providing more opportunities for professional and youth players to study and play abroad. At present, domestic women's soccer
Is there a greater lack of such opportunities?
Wang Jianjun: Last year's Olympics

preliminary competition
It was held in Suzhou, and I went to the game, feeling that the women's soccer team
The relative lack of mental fitness of the girls should be related to the fact that they have fewer opportunities to participate in international competitions. It's good for the girls to get out there and see what's going on, so they're not as nervous when they actually get into a big game.

and men's soccer
The same, following the same law of development. First build the base of the pyramid with enough participating population; then one level up is the youth training system in order to retain talent and develop stars; the stars also need to have a good professional league as a stage, including playing overseas, so that they can play enough high level matches and get good enough treatment to encourage them to play better. It is only when these steps are done well that the national team will be galvanized
The good results.
Mr. Luo Ranfeng: Overseas experience helps to gain insights. This insight exists not only at the level of technical and tactical competition, but also at the level of market development. The part of the program that mentions "market" is relatively small, and it is all concentrated in the "Improvement of the input mechanism" part of the organization section, which points out that "Encourage the development of women's football by social forces".
In addition, it has increased market development efforts, increased industrial revenues and broadened sources of funding. Establishment of a sound government support, market participation, multi-party financing to support women's soccer.

The development of the market should also be women's soccer
An important theme in the development of the movement.

Commercialization reform has always been a global problem. In recent years, Europe and the United States have begun to see a turnaround in solving the problem by tilting traditional soccer resources. We talked about women's soccer in Europe and the United States in previous programs
How to play with men's soccer
Progress has been made after sharing training conditions, nutrition, and logistics, and there have been some positive news recently, such as the increasing use of women's soccer in games by the famous overseas gaming company, ET Sports.

For the Chinese women's soccer team
, our long term expectation is certainly that it's not just a blip in attention because of improved results in one event, but that in the long term there are people who actually pay attention to it as a spectator sport. So it ultimately comes down to the market.
Zhang Wen: Speaking of market development, we also look forward to cultivating stars, and then using their role to create a consumer boom and social attention, as well as providing role models for the next generation of players. What examples of idolization have you found from the young players you've come into contact with?
Wang Frost is the idol of many young girls who play soccer
Wang Jianjun: The national teams often come to our base for training, and the young players are lucky to be able to interact with them. Some of the kids will idolize the best players in their playing positions, for example, those who play center back like Wu Haiyan and those who play offense like Wang Frost. These national team
The main players of the team are very influential in the children's hearts, and we also expect their idol role to lead the children to better development. Sometimes the Chinese women's soccer team
Coming to our school and interacting, the kids can get very close to the highest level of players in the country, for example, the youngest players and Wang Frost competed in bouncing the ball and so on, and the impacts were all very positive.
Zhang Wen: Like the two of you, I was very excited to see the Chinese women's soccer reform and development program (2022-2035). It is a very detailed program, from the national team
Achievements to youth training, covering to how we have to take every step to hold up the Chinese women's soccer team
The development of the And the future of Chinese women's soccer
The actual development of women's soccer relies on both the continued cultivation of women's soccer, like President Wang.
In particular, it has continued to work on women's soccer.
The first line of youth training also needs to have the likes of me and Ran Feng for women's soccer.
Sustained followers who cheer each breakthrough. I look forward to 3-5 years from now when we look at the program again and see that some of the goals have been met. Thank you both for being guests on the program, and we'll see you again next time.
