Like Spain, Germany is also a country that attaches great importance to youth training. But in fact, German football did not attach great importance to youth training before. Although they were world-class football powers, their country had also faced a crisis of talent gap. The winning of the 1996 English European Championship seemed to have made them forget themselves. By the 1998 French World Cup, the aging of German tanks was already very obvious. In the 2000 European Championships held by the Netherlands and Belgium, as defending champions, they were assigned to the death group early, but they returned home after the group match, which was a shameful performance in a major competition.

It was precisely because of this crushing defeat that the German Football Association finally realized that after a glorious decade, it was time for them to pay attention to the development of the German youth football training system, so they made up their minds to start a great reform in the history of German football.

At that time, the German Football Association chairman Gerhard believed that German football should be rebuilt, so the German Football Association launched the "Talent Development Promotion Plan". However, the football environment at that time did not allow it and the stadium facilities could not meet the standards, so Gerhard had to wait patiently.

Unexpectedly, he didn't wait long. In the 2002 World Cup, the German team was not optimistic about the world cup and reached the World Cup final in one go. Although he only won the runner-up in the end, the Germans still warmly welcomed their heroes at the airport. After all, before the World Cup, they were the only two world-class teams that were not optimistic about winning the championship - the other team was Brazil - the whole country's enthusiasm for football was instantly ignited, which made Gerhard realize that the opportunity for change has come.

So shortly after the World Cup in Japan and South Korea, the German Football Association quickly organized personnel to implement this youth talent training plan, and continued this plan until today, and will continue.

Since 2000, the German Football Association has re-arranged about 390 football training bases nationwide, gathering more than 22,000 talented male and female players aged 11 to 17, and played football under the guidance of more than 1,200 young football coaches. These professional coaches started from the time the players were young and taught them some of the most basic modern football skills and tactics.

At the same time, the German Football Association strictly stipulates that the Bundesliga and Bundesliga clubs must have their own youth training centers, including the German Football Association itself, plus the forty-eight professional football clubs spend a total of about 48 million euros on this project every year, and this cost is gradually increasing over time.

Judging from the German football youth training system, this is actually a typical national system - it is impossible to achieve such a huge youth training plan with the power of the club alone. Without the German Football Association leading the leadership and using national power, this great reform would only become written on paper and would not be implemented.

For example, because the hardware conditions of each club and the level of coaches are uneven, many football geniuses may be destroyed because they have not received good training, and the German Football Association has made corresponding arrangements.

They made 390 football training bases distributed in Germany as evenly as possible to ensure that each training base can serve about 70 clubs. This layout can not only provide convenience for the club, but also ensure that the club finds the most talented players in the shortest time, while also ensuring that the training of young players can be systematic and efficient. After statistics, German football experts have passed the training of effective chlorine, 10,000 out of 300,000 children will eventually stand out.

The training camp does not belong to any club, but to the German Football Association.

For example, in addition to training and hiring young players, the German Football Association also regularly trains youth football coaches and requires coaches to teach as one-on-one as possible. The Football Association arranges a special timetable for each coach, including training courses, videos and training time to the base, and sets up an archive within the Football Association to use scientific methods to help various coaches guide children to play football more systematically.

This is not something that can be done by the power of the club alone.

From the reform of German football youth training, we may see another side of Chinese football - blindly advocating professionalism and comprehensively denying the national system may be one of the reasons why Chinese football has declined over the years. After all, the once first-class Chinese national team players we are obsessed with are all from the era of the national system. They were all trained in the sports team, not professional football clubs.

The Chinese Football Association has only been focusing on national teams over the years, but has no idea about the entire Chinese youth football training system. This is the main factor leading to the decline in China's football level. Of course, this is also normal. In the official-oriented Football Association, political achievements are the most important, and the national team's achievements are the fastest to see political achievements. Therefore, such a thing as suspending the league for the Olympics and relegating the league in order to compete for the World Cup can be cancelled.

On the contrary, youth football is a long work that requires the continuous investment of several generations of football teams. The advocates of this work may not be able to enjoy the slightest benefits brought to him by youth football until they leave their jobs. In the end, there may be someone else who picks the fruits of victory.

But this is the objective law of football, just like the Chinese teenagers who lost to Lamacia Youth B team. This objective law is not transferred by subjective will.

If you don’t follow the rules, you will die miserably in the football world.

The Germans died miserably, which made them realize the importance of the rules.

Therefore, the most important part of the reform plan proposed by Gerhard is to revise the scope of rights of the Football Association Chairman and require "Xiao Gui Cao Sui". All the previous Football Association Chairmans must faithfully implement this talent training plan and cannot be interrupted, otherwise they will fail.

But until now, the Chinese Football Association has not really paid attention to the importance of youth football.

Otherwise, the TV program "Superstar Heir" aims to attract more people to pay attention to youth football, would not have been embarrassing that the players gathered are marginal figures of the youth teams of various clubs.

It makes sense for Chinese fans on the Internet to ridicule this show. The title of "the strongest in China" is really the self-proclaimed by the program team. The strongest one didn't come at all, and only He Ying could not speak alone.

When the teenagers arrived in Munich, the program "Superstar Heir" had also aired for three episodes.

After all three games in Spain were played, there was still a lot of criticism on the Internet, and public opinion was not conducive to the program team and the team.

Some people have already called the core creativity of "Challenge of European Youth Training Camp" a satirically called "the football version of Hunter and Bear". They joked that these Chinese football teenagers were not going to challenge at all, but to find the draw...

The program team naturally knew about these voices, and such public opinion put a lot of pressure on them. For the program team, being scolded one after another in this episode is like a game that is doomed to fail, which makes them confused.

And there are already sponsors of the show who expressed concern to them.

Sponsors are the lifeline of the show. If they interrupt sponsorship, the show will be over.

So the sponsor’s opinions are very important. If the sponsor is unhappy, everyone will be unhappy.

Losing, losing an ugly game... If this continues, the director Xu Tao doesn't know how many episodes of this reality show can last. He has done everything he can to downplay the impact of failure and emphasizes positive things. But he has no choice but to lose to Lamacia Youth B team 0:12, and the inherent impression left on everyone is so strong that no matter how you guide it in the show, everyone only has the word "defeat".

Among the people who scolded, there were real fans who were really angry at Chinese football. They were so heartbroken by Chinese football that they were a little nervous. As soon as they heard the news of Chinese football losing, no matter how they lost, they would start scolding with preconceived ideas.

There are also some people who don’t care about Chinese football at all. Their scolding is nothing more than using this wind to vent their emotions and find an opportunity to show their negative energy openly - you swear to being scolded and others think you have no quality, but if you treat Chinese football, no matter how ugly it is, many people will applaud you. They treat Chinese football as spittoons, they don’t care about Chinese football, and they don’t want Chinese football to be good, because if Chinese football is good, they will not have spittoons that can spit at will.

In this case, what everyone least wants to see still happened.

Just two days before the match against Bayern Munich Youth Team, the team's main central defender Huang Chao was injured in training, and it was not light. He was not the kind of injury that could re-play after a week or two.

There are only sixteen people in this Western Expedition, except for eleven people who are the main players, there are only five substitutes. This is the same as the Premier League roster. I believe that every player who plays FM football manager will be very dissatisfied with the Premier League's regulations that can only bring five substitutes, because it will always make people feel unsafe. If someone in the team is injured and some extreme situations occur, the substitutes may not be enough.

Now, Hao Dong has encountered such a problem.

Because there are only sixteen people on the roster, he took a lot of effort to choose the substitute position to bring.

In the end, he brought six people in the defender position. Apart from the four main players, there were only two substitutes, one was a central defender substitute and the other was a full-back substitute.

There are six midfielders, four starters, and two substitutes - Zhou Yi and Guo Nu.

There are two strikers, no substitute.

Two goalkeepers, main player Sun Pan and substitute goalkeeper Lai Cong.

Now that the main central defender Huang Chao is injured, substitute central defender Yang Fei will naturally take over, but if there is any accident on the defense line, the force will be too short.
