Chapter 7 Knowing how to win is more important than winning
Lin Xueyi looked at the furnishings in the office, and his eyes were naturally attracted to the framed jersey hanging on the wall.
Hu Lai's, Li Qingqing's, Luo Kai's, and Xia Xiaoyu's jerseys from the national team, the Olympic team, and the club team were lined up, almost filling both walls of the office. It was very spectacular.
"These jerseys... are proof of your success." He praised.
Unexpectedly, Li Ziqiang objected to his statement: "This is not my success."
"Ah?" Lin Xueyi originally wanted to give a compliment and then draw closer to the interviewees so that he could get to the point.
Generally, in this case, the person being praised will be very happy and open up, and the interview will go smoothly.
Unexpectedly, Li Ziqiang played his cards out of common sense and stunned Lin Xueyi.
But Lin Xueyi soon realized that maybe he could start the interview like this, because compared to a formulaic interview with topics set in advance, perhaps such unexpected scenes have more record value.
So he took advantage of the situation and asked: "Why do you say that?"
"Before I came to the Dongchuan Middle School football team, Hu Lai and Luo Kai were already in the school. So rather than saying that I trained them, it is better to say that I was lucky enough to meet them."
"But it was you who recruited Hu Lai into the team, and you also conducted a lot of rigorous training on him. Before that, Hu Lai had not even received much systematic and professional football training..."
"I just arranged some basic training for him, which is completely inconsistent with what he has achieved today. So his success today actually has little to do with me. Any football coach can do that kind of basic training."
Li Ziqiang shook his head, "The situation is the same for Xia Xiaoyu. Before he came to Dongchuan Middle School, he was already a very outstanding youngster in junior high school. Dongchuan Middle School only gave him a platform to perform, and he cannot be fully cultivated by me.
The only one who is really trained by me is Li Qingqing."
"She is your daughter..."
"Yes, she is my daughter, so I can always be by her side as she grows up. And whether it is Hu Lai, Luo Kai or Xia Xiaoyu, they don't get much guidance from me. I can't say that I am.
How much role did they play in their growth..."
"But high school football is actually a critical stage in the transition from youth training to professional football. Now more and more high school players have entered professional football." Lin Xueyi retorted slightly.
"Of course, I'm not denying the importance of high school football education. I'm just saying that I didn't help much with their growth. The training of players pays great attention to continuity. The players who are now coming out of Dongchuan Middle School, I
It can be said that they have accepted my training. Because in these years of work, we have also summarized a set of training methods and concepts suitable for the Dongchuan Middle School Football Team... If this wall can be hung again in the future
Only the jerseys of other national players can be said to be the contribution of the Dongchuan Middle School football team. Now..." Li Ziqiang shook his head. "I hang these jerseys here to inspire ourselves and give those players a goal.
.”
Hearing this, Lin Xueyi suddenly understood why for so many years, Li Ziqiang had rarely promoted himself as "Master Hu Lian" in front of the public.
He always thought that Li Ziqiang was Hu Lai's mentor, which was a fact known to everyone and did not need to be re-examined. Li Ziqiang rarely mentioned his relationship with Hu Lai...
"Speaking of continuity... I went to interview and film the work of Hu Lixin's guidance some time ago. During training, he would not simply and directly tell the young players how to handle this ball and how to handle that ball, but tell them what to do.
Observe more and make your own decisions... And today in your locker room after the game, I heard you repeatedly emphasize the importance of observation. I wonder if this is a continuity?"
"Of course it is." Li Ziqiang nodded, "Did you notice Rong Yi today?"
"noticed."
"What do you think of him?"
"Hmm... How should I put it? He is very smart and dares to do moves in the competition."
"Not only that. In that unsuccessful counterattack, he observed the space in advance, started first, and got stuck on the inside, thus creating a space to catch the ball. But Zhang Shicong did not pass the football
In the past..." Li Ziqiang said. "Rongyi Primary School played football at Nancheng Primary School."
Lin Xueyi was not surprised by this, because he had known about it for a long time. When Hu Lixin knew that he was coming to Dongchuan Middle School for an interview, he told him about it.
"Actually, he only became a student of our Dongchuan Middle School in September this year, but he has already been admitted to Dongchuan Middle School, so he is training with us in advance." Li Ziqiang continued to introduce. "He has not been training with us for a long time.
He's not very young and not very familiar with it, but his performance in the game is very good and he can cooperate with the team most of the time. It all depends on his observation and decision-making ability."
Lin Xueyi nodded in approval. He saw all of this during the game.
"But Rong Yi only went to Nancheng Primary School to teach when Lao Hu was in the fifth grade. He only received training from Lao Hu for two years, and Lao Hu's football philosophy was not formed in a day... Rong Yi
Having only played under Lao Hu for two years, his biggest gain is actually his self-confidence. Lao Hu allows the players to play freely on the court. Even if they make mistakes, he will not scold them, but always encourages them to do the same next time.
Better. Therefore, the players he teaches will appear more confident than their peers, and they will dare to make moves on the court, even if they make mistakes."
"So I feel like he is a little different from other players on the court. Is it because of this?" Lin Xueyi just finished asking this question and realized that by saying this, he seemed to be saying that everyone else in Dongchuan Middle School was not good.
But Li Ziqiang nodded in agreement and told Lin Xueyi: "A few years ago, we had a very powerful player from Dongchuan Middle School. He scored a total of thirty-eight goals in the three Anton Cup junior high school competitions.
He is known as the ace of his school. He also attracted the attention of many schools including Jiaxiang High School. Finally, he chose to come to our Dongchuan Middle School. But he did not play well here. After three years of high school, he started playing in the second year of high school.
It’s hard to even compete in the game…”
"Why?" Lin Xueyi asked curiously.
"He is very fast. He himself said that he once chose between sprinting and football, and finally he chose football. Although he is fast, his skills are very simple and not very good. His offensive methods are basically
The football goes out and then accelerates to chase. The fact that he was able to score so many goals in junior high school has a lot to do with his speed advantage. But in high school, there are many fast people, and the difficulty of physical confrontation has also increased... His skills
A single weakness was exposed. Moreover, his personal characteristics are incompatible with our team's tactical style..."
Li Ziqiang continued:
"It is said that his junior high school coach did not allow him to practice skills, so he used his speed advantage to the extreme in tactics. With his speed and defensive counterattack, the junior high school team performed quite well in the Anton Cup junior high school group.
Everyone thought he was an excellent coach. So when he didn’t come out of my team, his parents came to me to make trouble, saying that I deliberately suppressed their son..."
At this point, Li Ziqiang laughed.
"I asked him to practice his skills and not just rely on speed, but he told me that as long as he can score goals, it will be fine. He also used Hu Lai as an example, saying that Hu Lai can only score goals, but others use goals as goals.
To the extreme, so he is still a world superstar. He is faster than Hu Lai, why can't he do better?"
Hearing this, Lin Xueyi showed an expression like "an old man on the subway looking at his phone."
Li Ziqiang spread his hands, shook his head and said: "Hu Lai is indeed good at scoring goals, but the problem is that he is not really good at scoring goals. He just uses his speed advantage to take advantage of his opponents when their bodies are not yet mature.
That's it. His shooting skills are not superb, and his dribbling skills are also very average - because he is too fast, it is difficult to control the ball - he is not good at finding gaps in the opponent's defense, and he has almost no movement without the ball...
...How can he score by relying only on speed? He really should have gone to practice track and field, maybe he can participate in the National Games now..."
Listening to Li Ziqiang's story, Lin Xueyi remembered the scene he had seen in the competition between Nancheng Primary School and Huayuan Road Primary School.
Players in primary and secondary schools are not long-lived, lack strength, and are not fast. So as long as you have a tall, strong, or fast player in your team, you can often sweep the entire team.
In the face of such an absolute advantage, any sophisticated tactical arrangements are useless.
"When all the players I received from those junior high schools were players like this, it was really difficult for me to do anything. But if the young players who enter Dongchuan Middle School in the future are all players trained by Lao Hu, then I would be a lot more relieved. I even
He will say that if he is a player who has been trained under Hu Lixin, he will have an advantage in entering Dongchuan Middle School."
Lin Xueyi sighed: "You two are like working together on an assembly line..."
"We are indeed cooperating." Li Ziqiang did not deny it. "We hope that Dongchuan's campus football can have a unified style, so that the concept of football can be well continued from Lao Hu's elementary school to my high school."
Lin Xueyi thought of the argument the photographers had in the car that day, so he said: "We were also thinking about this issue after we came out of the interview from Nancheng Primary School. Director Hu's philosophy sounds very reasonable, but the actual situation is that if we insist on his
It’s really difficult to win with one set. If you can’t win, how can you promote it?”
"This is what Dongchuan Middle School has to do. In the Anton Cup in the second half of this year, we have to fight for the right to participate in the national competition, and then achieve good enough results in the national competition next year. If not next year, then the year after
, Anyway, we have to stick to this matter."
"So in the end, results still have to speak for themselves?"
Li Ziqiang nodded first and then shook his head: "At the high school level, it does still depend on performance. But although winning is important, knowing how to win is more important. I believe that players trained according to Lao Hu's philosophy will not only be able to win, but also know how to win.
.Since the high school stage, the physical fitness gap between players has become smaller and smaller, while the mental gap has become wider and wider. Dongchuan Middle School will definitely win the national championship again."
Seven years have passed since Hu Lai won the national competition, and Dongchuan Middle School has never won a national competition again.
But now listening to Li Ziqiang's words, he is very confident.
Lin Xueyi thoughtfully said: "So after the game is over, even if you have won, you still have to review the parts where the players performed poorly... and you also hope they know how to win?"
Li Ziqiang nodded.
At the end of the interview, Lin Xueyi asked the photographer to take many close-up shots of the row of jerseys on the wall.
Although Li Ziqiang said that Hu Lai's success was not due to him, Lin Xueyi believed that Director Li was still too modest.
In any case, Hu Lai, Luo Kai, and Xia Xiaoyu all came into everyone's sight under Li Ziqiang.
The person who laid the foundation for the building is important, but isn’t the ferryman important?
Whether it is Li Ziqiang or Hu Lixin, there is no distinction between high and low in their work. They are all contributing to the future of Chinese football.

ps, there are some things the author wants to say, but there are too many words, so I won’t put them at the end of the chapter. I will open another single chapter and send it later.
