Xinhua News Agency, Shanghai, December 2 (Reporter Xu Dongyuan) How to become a good, even a great player?German star Mateus said in a recent interview with Xinhua News Agency that players want to be strong and do their best every day in training and every gameFor Chinese football youth training, the most important thing is to have excellent coaches.
In the 1990 World Cup final, Mateus was the soul of the German team and led the team to win the cup. He was the first winner of FIFA's "World Footballer of the Year" and participated in five consecutive World Cups with a 21-year national team career.
A few days ago, the launching ceremony of the cooperation between the German Football League and the Chinese Football Association on the "Dream Bundesliga" project was held in Shanghai. In the meantime, Mateus, who has been paying attention to youth training, summed up the experience of German youth training.
I remember playing against the older players all the time. Why fight big with small?Because you can learn more from the more experienced players. "Germany not only offers football training opportunities in clubs, but also in schools to get involved, understand and learn Xi football, which we play from school to university, including after the end of the school routine." ”
Mateus said that he believes that the most important thing in Chinese football in youth training is to cultivate excellent coaches, and only good teachers can teach good students. "Players need better coaches to improve their abilities if they want to realise their talents, and I look forward to more coaches coming to the Bundesliga. ”
In the past two World Cups, South Korea and Japan have beaten Germany. For the performance of Asian teams in recent years, Mateus is very appreciative. "The Asian teams are improving very quickly and intuitively feel that they are working harder than the European teams to reach new levels, and the gap between the two is getting smaller and smaller. ”
This often requires the persistence and hard work of a generation. Chinese football still has potential, and I believe that one day you will be able to return to the World Cup, but it will definitely be a long and difficult road. When it comes to the development of Chinese football, Mateustan said frankly that the Chinese team will have the opportunity to compete with strong teams in the future, but not now, it will take 6 to 10 years to grow, and it needs good coaches, talented players, and it needs to develop on the right path.
