When the reporter ran into zhou suian, the former head coach of Guangzhou Football Team, who had been away for a long time, he found that the famous "academic" coach of domestic football who had created brilliance for Guangzhou Football remained the same, but Guangzhou Football failed to overtake it. This encounter makes people feel mixed and sad.

"Huangpu Phase I" was founded this year.

1993, China Football Association has formulated a three-level training system for senior, intermediate and junior coaches, that is, all coaches who coach domestic professional leagues must have a senior coach certificate issued by China Football Association. 1998, China Football Association began to integrate with FIFA and AFC's coach training verification system, and changed the original three-level coach training system into AFC's A, B and C three-level coach training verification system. In fact, in European professional football, there are more advanced professional coach training systems besides the three-level coach training systems of A, B and C. Only those who have obtained the professional coaching certificate can coach professional club teams.

In 2004, considering the development of professional football in East Asia, FIFA and AFC decided to entrust the training and assessment of professional football coaches to China, Japan and South Korea in East Asia. Therefore, starting from 2005, China Football Association decided to hold the first AFC professional coaching training course-China Football Association. The training course started on May 30th this year, and four stages of systematic training and study were conducted in one year. This training course is taught by senior FIFA lecturers. The course content includes the most advanced sports and football theories, practical courses and overseas study tours. There is a comprehensive coach training plan. After all the courses are completed, those who pass the exam will get an internationally recognized professional coach certificate, which is really a rare opportunity for promotion. To this end, this high-level training course is also called "Huangpu Phase I" in the football circle. The China Football Association has decided that all coaches who want to coach domestic Super League and China A professional league teams in the future must have professional-level coaching certificates, which raises the requirements for China's coaching level to a higher level.

After bidding farewell to the Jianghu coached by Zhongjia last year, zhou suian participated in the "Huangpu Phase I" study and training at his own expense. During the same period, all the famous coaches in China studied with him, such as national team coach Zhu, former national team coaches Qi Wusheng, Chi Shangbin, Jia Xiuquan, Wu Jingui, Li Shubin, Gao Hongbo, Gai Zengjun.

There are four major gains from the inspection.

Last month, the "Huangpu Phase I" training entered the third stage-studying abroad. The training course first went to Germany and went directly to the professional club for further study, and then went to the Netherlands to inspect and watch the training and competition of the Dutch national team. When zhou suian met the reporter, he had just returned from an inspection tour in Europe.

"It's two different classes of cars! Others' Eurocar' started at 4000 rpm, while' Zhongcar' started at 1000 rpm. The gap is too big. " When talking about this trip to Europe, zhou suian was filled with emotion. For the harvest of this trip to Europe, zhou suian summed up four aspects:

The first is the professionalism and professionalism of European players. The students of this "Huangpu Phase I" were divided into four groups and went directly to four first-class professional clubs in Germany, among which zhou suian was assigned to Hertha Club in Berlin. After two weeks of personal experience, zhou suian believes that the biggest gap between China players and European players is professionalism and devotion. Hertha's training intensity is very strong, even more intense than the real competition. Among the 28 players in the Hertha team, as many as 14 are foreign players. Although the competition between German and foreign players is fierce, everyone handles all kinds of contradictions and frictions professionally, so the team is very United and harmonious.

Second, the advanced equipment and facilities owned by European professional clubs. Hertha's home is the main venue where the 1936 Berlin Olympic Games was held. After a large-scale renovation, it will become the stadium for the closing ceremony of the 2006 World Cup. The club has 8 training grounds, and the two training grounds of the first professional team 1 have geothermal facilities, so the training is not affected by seasons, while only Shanghai Hongkou Stadium has geothermal facilities in China. In fact, almost all clubs in the Bundesliga have geothermal training grounds, so the training conditions are very good. In addition, in Hertha, Berlin, in addition to the traditional 1 1 stadium, there are many functional training venues and facilities, such as goalkeepers, headers, small ball techniques, group passing and physical fitness.

European professional clubs generally have advanced rehabilitation physical therapy facilities and means, which is also the guarantee and condition for European teams to improve their training intensity. The most surprising thing is that the Hertha Club's World Cup home and a large number of training venues and facilities are owned by the government, but the annual rent is only 1 Euro.

The third is the atmosphere of professional football in Europe. Zhou suian was deeply impressed by the warm atmosphere in the Bundesliga. The investigation team watched three Bundesliga games in succession, and all the stadiums were "bursting", and the fans were like festivals. This kind of atmosphere can only be seen at the beginning of China Professional League. Only in this way can we feel the meaning of football. The key to such a good football atmosphere is that the football community regards fans and the media as the most important partners and has a strong sense of service.

Fourth, the new changes in European football tactics. Zhou suian pointed out that judging from the training and competition of European teams, European football now places great emphasis on "four fasts": quick thinking, quick action, quick transformation and quick running. In terms of playing style, the most typical "352" formation of German football began to change to "442", with "resurrection on the side" as the mainstay, similar to the playing style of Chelsea in the Premier League. The Dutch national team is more radical, has returned to the "4-3-3" formation, and the whole of Europe has begun to pay attention to the winger. In addition, European coaches generally use an advanced football coaching software. This set of coaching software, which costs 200,000 yuan, can analyze and sort out the video of the game through the computer, from macro to the whole game, from micro to a certain position or a certain technology, which is very accurate and scientific.

The "secret" of the Dutch national team

"Huangpu Phase I" ended its investigation tour in Germany, and then transferred to the Netherlands for a week-long follow-up inspection of the Dutch national team. At that time, the Dutch team was preparing for a World Cup warm-up match with the Italian team, so it was a rare opportunity for the China football coach to know the "secret" of the Dutch team's training and competition. The Dutch national team concentrated on training in a second-division club by the sea on Tuesday. Generally speaking, in the training arrangements of national teams at all levels in China, only one high-intensity training class can be arranged before Saturday, but the Dutch team resumed training class on Tuesday with moderate intensity, and the training on Wednesday was the maximum intensity. On Thursday and Friday, although the volume has decreased, it is still equivalent to the average strength of the China team. Zhou suian believes that the reason why the Dutch team can maintain such high-intensity training is not only the good quality of the players themselves, but also related to the team's great emphasis on recovery measures, which is indeed worth learning and learning from China football.

Although he is a coach, zhou suian is deeply interested in the meticulous service provided by the Dutch Football Association for journalists. Although it was only a warm-up match, the Dutch Football Association provided the press with very detailed information in all aspects, even the global competition arrangement of the day, including the match between China and Serbia and Montenegro. In addition, the forms of reporters' interviews are also unique, including classified interviews according to different media, the press conference of head coach Basten with all media, and "desk interviews" conducted by different players at the same time. The press officer of the Dutch team kept informing reporters about the internal situation of the team during the game.

Feel the world cup atmosphere in advance

Another strong feeling of zhou suian's visit to Europe is that Germany, which is about to host the 2006 World Cup, already has a very strong World Cup atmosphere. Zhou suian said that almost every German he met during his visit to Germany regretted China's failure to enter the World Cup in Germany. Germans are very friendly to China, and many club websites have Chinese pages.

After investigating European football and contacting Guangzhou football, zhou suian thinks that what China football and Guangzhou football need to learn most at present is the professionalism and professionalism of European football, the good structure of the club and excellent hardware facilities. Compared with the triangular relationship among European teams, fans and media, zhou suian thinks that the relationship between fans and media in Guangzhou is closer to Europe. Therefore, zhou suian wishes the Guangzhou team to work hard in the coming season and revive the glory of Guangzhou football with professional spirit and attitude.
