Be sure to stay true to your original vision and be resilient on the path of change.
The fourteenth national games men's soccer U20 group final not long ago, zhejiang team to 2-1 victory over xinjiang team, won the championship. This is not only the first gold medal in the history of the Games in Zhejiang in the field of competitive soccer, but also the heaviest national championship in the history of Zhejiang soccer.
At the same time for Zhejiang soccer cheer, some Shanghai fans may feel lost. 2017 Tianjin National Games, Shanghai won four gold medals in soccer, creating history; and 2021 Shaanxi National Games, Shanghai soccer has no chance to defend the soccer project "Grand Slam".
How to see this "contrast"? In my opinion, the Tianjin National Games, Shanghai swept the soccer project four gold, is the perfect interpretation of the timing, geographical and human harmony, difficult to replicate; and Shanghai soccer in Zhejiang, Xinjiang and other places to learn from the experience of youth training, should have the perseverance to adhere to the original intention, adhere to the change of the perseverance.
A pinnacle moment, hard to replicate
The last Tianjin National Games, Shanghai realized the National Games soccer project "Grand Slam", became the proudest highlight of the Shanghai delegation. Behind the gold medals, the test is the stage results of the soccer change: Shanghai four championship teams, respectively, from four kinds of innovative training mode.
The Shanghai U20 women's soccer team comes from the system, the U18 women's soccer team comes from the "combination of sports and education" school soccer, the U20 men's soccer team relies on the Shanghai-Hong Kong club, and the U18 men's soccer team is in charge of the Genbao base of the socialization of professional youth training club. Four different socialized and diversified training modes have produced four champions of great weight.
The Shanghai U18 boys' soccer team, based in Seaport, performed poorly at the Shaanxi National Games, while the eventual champion Shaanxi team featured 18 Seaport homegrown rookies. The Shenhua-based Shanghai U20 men's soccer team did not qualify for the quarterfinals, losing to the eventual champion Zhejiang team. Earlier, the Shanghai U18 women's soccer team won the title strongly, and the Shanghai adult women's soccer team also has the possibility of striking gold, but facing the powerful Olympic joint team (i.e., the Chinese women's national team), winning the title is either a small probability event.

The green field is ever-changing, and victory or defeat is just a hair's breadth away. Shanghai soccer in Shaanxi without the chance to defend the "Grand Slam" is just the best interpretation of the soccer competition suspenseful, the team gap between the millimeters.
Of course, there is inevitable in the accident, Shanghai soccer in Shaanxi Games "results change", micro level need to reflect on the summary, but at the macro level, it is a return to normal, after all, four years ago, the ultimate peak is difficult to copy.
Encouragement to stay abroad and expand international horizons
Whether it is a historic breakthrough in Zhejiang U20 men's soccer team, or low-key pragmatic Shanghai women's soccer team, have chosen to actively support the players to stay in the ocean. The exploration of Zhejiang and Shanghai's soccer in line with the international scene deserves attention.
Zhejiang U20 men's soccer team all the way through, every time to save the day, there are distinctive traces of staying in the ocean. Zhejiang team and Shanghai team game, in the 89th minute scored a tie-breaking goal Gao Tianyi, last year, or Japan J3 Morioka Senzuru team players, but also played in the J3 League.

Goalkeeper Wang Xiaofeng, who has made a number of spectacular saves, signed with Japanese J3 team Nagano Passero in March last year. In addition, Zhejiang team players Huang Xinpeng, Li Yalun also stayed in Japan. They returned to the All-China Games and lamented, "It feels so easy to come back and play in the same age group after staying in the ocean!"
In contrast, the Shanghai women's soccer team is willing to pay the price of the impact on the results of the National Games in order to support the players' dream of staying in the ocean. Shanghai women's soccer star striker Tang Jiali is currently playing with Tottenham Hotspur Hotspur in the English Premier League, and rookie Shen Mengyu, representing Celtic Women's Soccer in the Scottish Premier League, has performed well and has been selected for the "AFC Player of the Week" list.
The two foreign sisters, are unable to represent Shanghai to fight in the National Games. The team is very frank: "Now may be a little bit lost, but when they return from their studies, our Shanghai women's football, Chinese women's football is not the biggest winner?"
Not caring about the gains and losses of a city or a pool, and paying more attention to the healthy and sustainable development of the soccer cause, is the significance of encouraging Chinese players to stay in the ocean. 2018 season after the Shanghai seaport to win the championship, the club actively supported the international footballer Wu Lei to stay in the ocean, and there is no obstacle to set up in the transfer fee price and other aspects.
Wu Lei stayed in the ocean, the club will of course get fewer domestic league trophies, but for the whole of Chinese soccer, undoubtedly benefit more.
The national interest is the big gold medal
Whether to support the development of Chinese players to stay in the ocean, the need for clubs, local provincial and municipal soccer managers to have a commitment to look at the long term, willing to give up some short-term interests. Well, Zhejiang U20 men's football, Shanghai women's football practice, has been the majority of fans and netizens understanding and praise: "Chinese soccer needs to learn from Japan, South Korea, to encourage more players to stay in the ocean to comprehensively improve the level of the national team, which is in line with the overall interests of the development of Chinese soccer."
Obviously, local provinces and municipalities soccer in the "heroes courage to compete first" results in addition to the idea, but also need to have the national interest above all "big gold medal concept": focus on youth training good seedling cultivation and selection, for the Chinese national team to create a steady flow of talent delivery system, to some extent, is more important than winning the National Games football championship "small gold medal". To a certain extent than winning the National Games soccer championship "small gold medal" is more important.
Obviously, the development of Shanghai soccer youth training, not only to have the "heroes courage to fight for the first" the idea of the champion, but also to have "out of the talent is more important than out of the gold medal" of the pattern of mind.
China's national team is currently preparing for the 2022 Qatar World Qualifier in Sharjah, UAE, and many of the internationals have played in the 2009 Shandong National Games. At the time, Xu Genbao coached the Shanghai team to the title and sent a number of key internationals to the current national team, including Wu Lei, Yan Junling, Zhang Linpeng and Wang Shenchao. Similarly, the current national team captain Wu Xi played for Hebei at that time, although the team did not reach the quarterfinals, but Hebei soccer can send a good international footballer for the national training, undoubtedly took a more in line with the interests of the country's "big gold medal".

Throughout the 60 years of history of the National Games, it is not only a "parade ground" for the strength of competitive sports in local provinces and municipalities in new China, but also a "practice ground" for China's national team to compete in the Olympic Games and the World Cup, and a starting point for Chinese athletes to practice domestically, work together with foreign countries, and go to the world. It is the starting point for Chinese athletes to practice domestically, to work together externally, and to go global. From this point of view, only when the Games cultivate the expectations of the star to help China's national team out of Asia, to the world, the Games soccer gold medal gold, is considered a qualitative leap.
