Taishan Evening News exclusive interview with Shandong women's soccer helmsman Yin Tiesheng, in-depth analysis of the team's salary system and season strategy.
Looking back to 2015, under Yin Tiesheng's careful guidance, Shandong women's football team realized an unprecedented leap, winning the Women's League A, Women's Football Championship and Women's Super Cup in one go, and not only succeeded in the Super League, but also created the glory of the Triple Crown. For the girls of Shandong women's soccer, this year is undoubtedly inspiring, but many practical problems are still hindering their footsteps. As Shandong soccer's Taishan Beidou, Yin Tiesheng experienced the professionalization of Shandong's men's football, and is now involved in the wave of women's football's professionalization, he has his own expectations for the future. 30 March, the women's football team's financial support for the new season settled, which is undoubtedly a good news for the team. Facing the splendor of the Triple Crown and looking forward to the new season, Yin spoke freely in an interview with Taishan Evening News.
Tournament champions most impressed, aiming for steady progress in new season
Taishan Evening News: You led the team to win the Triple Crown last year, where do you think Shandong women's soccer team did the best?
Yin Tiesheng: I think it's the targeted training and preparation, the execution of the players, the understanding and execution of the tactical intent, these are the experiences we have to continue to accumulate in the future.
Taishan Evening News: Which of the three championships do you think has impressed you the most?
Yin Tiesheng: I think it's the Championship title. This tournament has a longer schedule, unlike the Supercup, where you can get such a championship in one game. The gap between Women's A and Women's Super League is still there, we did targeted training when preparing for the Championship final, and we have an advantage when playing Women's A. But when facing Women's Super League teams, we may have more pressure on our defense. But when we face the Women's Super League team, the pressure on our defense may be a bit more. We have to create more chances on offense while playing solid defense. Our matches against Dalian and Jiangsu showed the excellent effect of quick counterattack. The Super Cup match against Shanghai was more of a comparison of strengths and weaknesses. Shanghai's individual ability and overall level was higher, but they had just finished playing in the Women's Super League, so physical fitness was a disadvantage. We adopted a pressing style of play in that match and achieved good results.
Taishan Evening News: From the current schedule, the first round of the Women's Super League is the Shandong women's soccer team away to Shanghai, what do you think? What is the goal of Shandong women's soccer team in the new season?
Yin Tiesheng: The goal is first of all relegation. Because from the current point of view, Dalian, Changchun have introduced foreign aid, they themselves are strong teams, plus the level of foreign aid to improve. Shanghai is a traditional strong team, last year took the title, we relegation task is arduous. This year, we only introduced one internal aid, is Dalian's Zhao Xinzhai, her integration into the team's time is relatively short. We still need to be based on their own, in the existing players' state and the overall offense and defense to put more effort. The first game with Shanghai, although it is an away game, but we still strive to be able to get points. If we can get points in Shanghai, it will be a good thing to build confidence for the whole season.
Players income treatment to be improved, back to the provincial sports feel like a dream back in 94 years
Taishan Evening News: Can you introduce the composition of the current Shandong women's soccer team?
Yin Tiesheng: now to the province players, the introduction of internal aid Li Ying, Wu Haiyan and this year's Zhao Xinzhai, 30 players in their 3 is the introduction of internal aid, the rest are our own training of players. From the age structure, we have 15 people in 95, 96 years, 97, 98 years have 6, 92, 93 years have 5, 94 years have 4, is a relatively young team.
Taishan Evening News: The treatment of women's soccer has always been a matter of concern, since you coached women's soccer, how do you see this problem, and what is the biggest difficulty encountered in the development of women's soccer now?
Yin Tiesheng: treatment is definitely on the low side, now similar to 1994 when the professionalization of men's football just started, can be said to be three levels of differentiation. Dalian, Changchun has fully entered the professionalization, the players' income is the highest in the country. Shanghai is a combination of the Sports Commission and funding, the treatment is also good, more wins will also have more bonuses. Then down is the career way, the provincial football center and the federation of a model. Like us, or the main career such treatment.
Taishan Evening News: Can you reveal how much the Shandong women's soccer players earn now?
Yin Tiesheng: the basic salary of most of our players is about 2,000 yuan, the bonus also depends on the results, this bonus is also still to come from the club and funding. It's a bit like when the men's soccer team was first professionalized in '94.
