On April 10, Zhao Jian flew back to Baotou from the Shenzhen Red Diamond Club where he is currently working, because he wanted to represent Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology in the "2010-20165438 Li Ning China University Football League" Inner Mongolia Trial and the football match of the 9th University Games in Inner Mongolia. Within a week, Zhao Jian played eight games in a row, and he did well in every game. Under his leadership, the Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology team successfully rushed out of Inner Mongolia and entered the national competition.
Dreams begin as teenagers.
1989, Zhao Jian was born in an ordinary worker's family. His father, Zhao, is an ordinary worker in Baotou Steel Power Plant and the second son of Zhao family. Zhao likes sports very much. He is a famous track and field athlete at school, and his score in the 100-meter dash is 12.438+0 seconds. Later, Zhao became fascinated with football, but due to the limited conditions at that time, he never had a chance to really try his hand on the court. Perhaps it was because his dream didn't come true that Zhao pinned his hopes on his son.
When Zhao Jian was 8 years old, his father bought him a football and consciously began to cultivate his hobbies while playing games. Little Zhao Jian seems to have inherited his father's genes and has been practicing track and field since primary school.
Zhao Jian's football "debut" should be counted from the third grade of primary school. At that time, I was studying at No.25 Primary School in Baotou Steel. Besides his father, his first teacher was Zhang Yong, and he is still very grateful to him. Because he was young and didn't know the future development direction, under the guidance of his teacher and father, Zhao Jian practiced sprinting while playing football. He is tireless in the sports field, which is difficult for many children to do.
Until he graduated from primary school, Zhao Jian was the record holder of the school's 200-meter and 400-meter sprints. After graduating from primary school, Zhao Jian entered Baotou Steel No.3 Middle School. Zhao Jian made good achievements in 100 meters and 200 meters, and 400 meters also broke the school record of No.3 Middle School of Baotou Steel. At this time, Zhao decided that his son was an athlete's material, but considering that track and field events are difficult to become a career and his family's economic situation is not very good, it is necessary to make a long-term plan for his son. In view of his love for football, Zhao locked his training goal in football. Football has always been the "first sport" for men, and young Zhao Jian can't resist the charm of football.
Playing football requires both skill and physical fitness, and athletes need to spend a lot of time on training every day, which is definitely a delay for a student. Zhao told me that he was actually ambivalent at that time. There is no place for football in Inner Mongolia, so he has to go out if he wants to play football. Whether this choice is right or wrong is unknown, so he had to put all his eggs in one basket and educate his son by feeling until he met Xu Genbao, a famous football coach in China. Xu Genbao said: "Zhao Jian has development and talents. After good training, he can play football. " Zhao was relieved and solved a knot in his heart.
In 2000, Zhao Jian, aged1/kloc-0, participated in the national "Beibei Cup" children's football competition organized by Soong Ching Ling Foundation and China Football Association and won the prize. This competition is not only an eye-opener, but also makes Zhao and his wife firmly believe in continuing to train their son into a football player.
Parents are the strong backing.
After successfully returning from the first competition, Zhao took advantage of the school's winter and summer vacations to take a trip to visit famous teachers. Dalian, Shanghai and Hebei all left their father and son footprints. Mr. and Mrs. Zhao's salary is not high, so they can make every effort to raise their son.
After many investigations, Zhao wanted to send him to a football school in Shanghai, but his wife didn't agree. Zhao Jian was only 12 years old. How can my mother be at ease when she is sent away to school at such a young age? After many weighing, the couple finally decided to send their son to Liu Tong Football School in Shijiazhuang, Hebei.
Before going to Liu Tong Football School, Zhao Jianxian studied in the football school called "Oriental Manchester United" in Xu Genbao for half a year. Xu Genbao is very optimistic about Zhao Jian. He said to Zhao, "He has a great talent for playing football. As long as he is willing to work hard, he will certainly develop. " The affirmation of the China football star has strengthened Ryan's son's confidence in choosing the football road.
With confidence, we need economic strength as the backing. However, the son's expensive study fee makes the low-income Zhao couple more and more embarrassed. In 2004, Zhao decided to sell his house to help his son realize his dream. This idea once again attracted the opposition of his wife and family. Finally, under his repeated persuasion, his wife Gao Min reluctantly gave up what she wanted, and let her husband sell his hard-earned property at the risk of having no place to live.
However, for a father, economic pressure can be solved, but his son's distress is nowhere to tell. Zhao said that if he could choose again, he might not have to work so hard for his son, because he would never forget the appearance of icicles in his hair during training as a child.
During the two years of studying in Hebei Football School, Zhao and his wife missed their son and went to see him at least once a month. In his words, all their income was contributed to the transportation department. However, many things happen. Zhao Jian has lived up to his parents' expectations, and he is moving towards the ideal direction step by step.
Dreams bloom in the green fields.
When I was studying in a football school, I was lucky enough to meet Li, a famous football teacher in Hebei, and my fate soon got on the right track.
In preparation for the National Games, 84 young footballers led by Li went to the third team of Henan Jianye Team in the First Division of China Football Association for trial training. After layers of selection, only Zhao Jian and two other outstanding teenagers stayed, and then successfully entered the Yu U 15 (age 15) youth team. Here, under the influence of famous coaches and high-level teammates, Zhao Jian's ball skills developed faster. After that, Zhao Jian, who officially rushed into the stadium, won the national U 17 Cup Winners' Cup final in just over a year, defeating Shanghai Team with Henan Jianye No.3 Team. At that time, because the two sides were evenly matched, the game ended in a penalty shoot-out. In the end, Henan Jianye narrowly beat the Shanghai team. This is Zhao Jian's first championship and his most exciting game.
Zhao Jian, a young player who made a series of achievements, quickly caught the attention of the first-team coach of Jianye, Men Wenfeng. In 2006, the successful Henan Jianye team needed talents, and the coach directly transferred Zhao Jian from the third team to the first team for training.
In 2007, at the beginning of the league, Zhao Jian participated in the national team reserve team competition in Jiangsu training base. There, Zhao Jian met many domestic first-and second-tier stars, and under their guidance, he played well. In that competition, Henan Jianye won the fifth place.
Entering Henan Jianye is equivalent to entering the only 16 "Super League" teams in China, but later the head coach, Men Wenfeng, switched to China team Anhui Jiufang, and Zhao Jian also entered Jiufang.
After several years of galloping on the court, Zhao Jian has grown from an ignorant teenager to a tall and handsome young man. Zhao Jian, who is maturing day by day, trains harder. With the increase of games and friends, he also got considerable exercise. In 2008, Zhao Jian became a player in the first team of Anhui Jiufang and an important player in the first team of China Professional League.
Zhao Jian worked hard in training, and his on-the-spot strategy was smart and flexible. After years of experience, he took advantage of his own characteristics to gain a firm foothold. His killer weapon is the speed within 30 meters, which has won him many victories. However, there are always setbacks behind every successful person. In 2009, when Zhao Jian was training in meniscus tear, he had to go home to recuperate. At home, Zhao Jian was depressed and wanted to give up, but eventually he returned to the team because he missed flying on the court.
In 20 10, Zhao Jian was specially recruited by Inner Mongolia University of Science and Technology as a student majoring in human resources management in the School of Economics and Management, and was later selected by the top management of Shenzhen Red Diamond, a Chinese Super League team. The head coach of Shenzhen Red Diamond Football Club is Troussiere, a Frenchman. He has coached many national teams, including many foreign stars and former goalkeeper of China's national football team. In the wider world, the light of Zhao Jian is gradually emerging.
Zhao Jian started playing football at the age of 8, and now he is only 22. His football career has reached 14 years, but he still has a long way to go. As he himself said, "My greatest wish is to return to my hometown one day and contribute to the football cause in Inner Mongolia."
