In 2015, under the guidance of Yin Tiesheng, Shandong women's football team realized a historic leap, winning the Women's A League, Women's Football Championship and Women's Football Super Cup in one fell swoop, not only succeeded in the Super League, but also created the feat of three crowns. For the Shandong women's soccer players, this year is an exciting year, but many practical problems still hinder their progress. As a Shandong soccer titanic figure, Yin Tiesheng witnessed the start of Shandong men's football professionalization, and now is committed to the professionalization of Shandong women's football, he is full of expectations for the future. 30 March morning, the women's football new season funds finally finalized, which is a good news for Shandong women's football players. Talking about the honor of the Triple Crown and looking forward to the new season, Coach Yin talked freely in the interview of Taishan Evening News.
Championship winners most impressed, aiming for relegation in new season
Taishan Evening News: You led the team to win the Triple Crown last year, which aspect 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 all things that we need to continue to adhere to for our future experience.
Taishan Evening News: Which of the three champions do you think impressed you the most?
Yin Tiesheng: I think it's the Championship title. This tournament has more matches, unlike the Super Bowl, where you can get such a championship in one match. The distance between Women's A and Women's Super League is still there. We have conducted targeted training in preparation for the Championship final, and we have an advantage when we play Women's A. But against the Women's Super League team, we may have more pressure on our defense. But against the teams in the Women's Super League, the pressure on our defense might be a little bit higher. We need to create more chances on offense while playing solid defense. Our matches against Dalian and Jiangsu showed the ideal 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. In that game we played in a pressing style and achieved a good result.
Taishan Evening News: From the current schedule, the first round of the Women's Super League is the Shandong Women's Football Team's away match against Shanghai. What is the goal of Shandong women's soccer team in the new season?
Yin Tiesheng: The goal is to relegate first. Because from the present point of view, Dalian, Changchun have introduced foreign aid, themselves they are strong teams, plus foreign aid level to improve a lot. Shanghai is a traditional strong team, won the championship last year, our relegation task is arduous. This year we only introduced an internal aid, is Dalian's Zhao Xinzhai, she into the team time is still relatively short. We are still based on their own, in the condition of the existing players and the overall offense and defense to work on. 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 up the determination for this year's competition.
The player's income treatment is low, back to the provincial sports like a dream back in '94
Taishan Evening News: Can you introduce the composition of the current Shandong women's soccer team?
Yin Tiesheng: now to the province's players, the introduction of the internal recruitment of Li Ying, Wu Haiyan and this year's Zhao Xinzhai, 30 players in their 3 is the introduction of the internal aid, the rest are our own cultivation of players. Age structure, we 95, 96 years have 15 people, 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 began, can be said to be a three-tier decomposition. Dalian, Changchun has fully entered the professionalization, the players' income is the highest in the country. Shanghai is a combination of sports commission and funding, the treatment is also good, more wins will be more bonuses. Then down is the form of work establishment, the provincial football management center and a model of the Football Association. Like us, it is still the main working establishment such treatment.
Taishan Evening News: Is it convenient for you to reveal how much the Shandong women's soccer players earn now?
Yin Tiesheng: most of our players basic salary is about 2,000 yuan, the bonus also depends on the results, this bonus is also still to come from the club and funding. This is a bit like the 1994 men's football just professionalization of the time similar to their own and their own than okay, but with the outside than, really the gap is relatively large.
Taishan Evening News: the new season Shandong women's football team's home field is set in the Shandong Provincial Sports Center, you have just mentioned the 94 years of professionalism, this time back to the provincial sports, you have any feelings?
Yin Tiesheng: It has a special meaning for me, like going back to '94, now we mainly rely on the Sports Commission and the Football Management Center, in terms of venues, we are perhaps the best. But I'm not as confident as I used to be, and women's soccer may have a lot of variables. I also want this year to be like '94, team condition, field condition, results can go back to '94, have a good start.
The effect of Lunar change depends on the results, expect fans to support women's soccer
Taishan Evening News: You have coached both men's and women's soccer, what do you think is the biggest difference between coaching men's and women's soccer?
Yin Tiesheng: Football is similar, but in terms of body and ability, the gap between men's and women's football is relatively large. Understanding of soccer, the gap between men's and women's soccer is also very big, men's soccer is easier to accept new things and change some things, women's soccer is more difficult to change.
Taishan Evening News: As the former head coach of Luneng Taishan, do you have any viewpoints on the team's changes?
Yin Tiesheng: Change is good, and the results of the change will depend on the results of the whole year. In terms of the early stage, give us a surprise, and then a few games, and then let us feel that there is a problem. The club's conditions of treatment, the environment created for the athletes is the best in the country. However, the results are not very stable, originally thought that the introduction of a high-level center back can change the team's defense, the early stage has also received the effect, but there are two games, let people see not quite understand.
Taishan Evening News: In a previous interview, you mentioned the attendance of the women's soccer team, which averaged only a few hundred people per game. Now that the women's soccer team's home field is set in the provincial stadium, what do you want to say to the Shandong fans?
Yin Tiesheng: now care about women's soccer or less, the level of women's soccer may not be as pleasing as men's soccer, and the situation is not as exciting as men's soccer. I also made an appointment with some presidents of fan associations, and they promised to give more support to women's soccer. Of course, I am looking forward to letting the fans see the Shandong women's soccer team win. I am also cheering for my team, and I hope that we will be attracted by the results and performances of our competitions.
