Reporter Wang Wei reports The penalty was not scored, and the opponent was killed in stoppage time, and the Chinese U20 men's team missed the World Youth Championship in this cruel way, which is regrettable. But the positive outlook of the team in this Asian Cup has been supported by more people, and many players have played their own characteristics, and the youngest in the team, Wang Yudong, is one of the best, with fast speed and strong breakthrough ability, which is impressive.

The U20 Asian Cup was held in Shenzhen, and for Wang Yudong, it was also a "homecoming" report performance. 12 years ago, that is, in the summer of 2013, Wang Mengyi, who came to Shenzhen Bao'an from Zhejiang to do business, took his son Wang Yudong, who was about to enter primary school, and found Zhang Chunhui, the football coach of Shenzhen Oriental Primary School, and began a football relationship in Shenzhen.

Coach Zhang Chunhui of Shenzhen Bao'an Oriental Primary School is Wang Yudong's football teacher, and he recalled: "Actually, I have a good relationship with Wang Yudong and his father, Mr. Wang Mengyi. At that time, the father of one of my team members had a work relationship with Wang Yudong's father, and one day he learned that Wang liked to play football very much, and their children also liked to play football. At that time, the parents of the team told Wang Yudong's father that Dongfang Primary School football was very good and had trained many excellent players. He suggested to Lao Wang that Wang Yudong could go to Dongfang Primary School in Songgang, Shenzhen to learn ball. ”

After this exchange, Wang Mengyi rushed to Dongfang Primary School in Songgang Street, Bao'an District, Shenzhen, to watch the school's football training on the spot.

"I remember that on a Saturday afternoon, the father of this player took Wang Yudong's father and Wang Yudong to Dongfang Primary School, and Wang Yudong's father got straight to the point and asked me to see if his son was playing football." Zhang Chunhui recalled, "At that time, Wang Yudong was in the kindergarten class, preparing for the first grade. At that time, I wanted to test his speed, so I said to Wang Yudong, "Kid, Mr. Zhang, kick the ball farther away now, and you can chase the ball back for me as fast as possible." Then, I kicked the ball far away, and Wang Yudong quickly chased the ball back. At that time, Zhang Chunhui found that Wang Yudong's speed was very fast, although he was not tall, but he had the foundation to play football. As a result, Wang Yudong was given the opportunity to train and compete with the Dongfang Primary School team every Saturday and Sunday.

Wang Mengyi took his family from Zhejiang to Shenzhen to start a business, and he had a lot of tenacity, because he liked to play football, and he also infected his son Wang Yudong. In order to let Wang Yudong learn the ball well, Wang Mengyi and other parents established the Oriental Primary School Football Team Parent Committee to support the team in all aspects and let the coach concentrate on teaching.

Regarding the topic of whether there were any outstanding player traits found in Wang Yudong back then, Zhang Chunhui was very frank: "At the beginning, we really didn't think about what Wang Yudong would become, but we just felt that this kid was very clever and smart on the field, loved football, and was very dedicated and serious in his work. He has grown up so fast because of his particularly good physical fitness, his mother was a sprint champion when she was young, and Wang Yudong's speed has a genetic factor. And he has a very good sense of moving forward on the field, with both speed and technique, which is rare for such a player. ”

It is precisely because of the full accompaniment of Wang Yudong's parents, the quality of the child himself, and the careful guidance and training of the school and coaches that he will thrive in the future.

During the period of learning football at Dongfang Primary School, Coach Zhang Chunhui also used some small "beatings" to motivate Wang Yudong. For example, Wang Yudong is required to kick the ball within two months, so that he can change to a new football, and Wang Yudong is also required to overcome the skill of juggling the ball. "At that time, I told him that it is the hardest thing for a child to juggle the ball, and it is the most painful to go from the first bumper to the fifth or sixth, because it has to be repeated repeatedly. At that time, I used demonstration movements to encourage him, as long as you can go up to more than five at a time, and then grit your teeth, the basic skills will definitely be improved, and when you play, the state will be completely different. ”

In Zhang Chunhui's philosophy, kicking against the wall is a good way to train, because the players have to judge the point where the ball bounces back during the process. When he was training, Zhang Chunhui also used balloons to practice Wang Yudong's foot strength, "I told him that he had to pop three balloons a day, otherwise he couldn't go home." ”

Wang Yudong practiced at Dongfang Primary School for four years, and returned to his hometown in sixth grade to continue chasing his football dream at Zhejiang Ostrich Football Club.

After becoming famous, Wang Yudong made a special trip from Zhejiang to Shenzhen Oriental Primary School many times to visit the principal, coaches and juniors, and thanked his alma mater and the training of enlightenment coaches. Seeing that the immature teenagers of the past have grown into high-spirited young people in a blink of an eye, the principal of Dongfang Primary School, Qiu Weixin, was happy and moved: "This fertile soil of Dongfang Primary School has cultivated batches of outstanding students like Wang Yudong, which is the pride of Dongfang Primary School and the hope of the school. She hopes that the young players of the school football team can take Wang Yudong as an example and goal, sweat on the green field, irrigate the seeds of dreams, strive for the fruits of victory, and strive to become the pride of their alma mater and the pillars of the country.

For Wang Yudong's gratitude, Zhang Chunhui believes that it comes from family education, "Wang Yudong's parents attach great importance to their son's education, which also forms Wang Yudong's cheerful personality, and he is good at helping people around him." On the field, Zhang Chunhui told Wang Yudong to speak with his feet and solve problems with winning.

Zhang Chunhui posted a photo in the circle of friends a few days ago, the picture of 9-year-old Wang Yudong and Zhang Chunhui's daughter eating together, Wang Yudong peeled oranges for his little sister, who was only three or four years old at the time. "It can be said that Wang Yudong has been a very careful child and a child who cares about others since he was a child." Zhang Chunhui said.

In Zhang Chunhui's previous understanding, children who are faster are generally more anxious and not so calm in personality, "but Wang Yudong is different, with strong self-adjustment ability and calm and sophisticated performance." ”

As an enlightenment coach, Zhang Chunhui hopes that Wang Yudong can go abroad for further study in the future, "play in the five major leagues, prove yourself, and make greater contributions to Chinese football." I think if there is such a platform, Wang Yudong can go out. ”

This time in Shenzhen to represent the U20 national team in the Asian Youth Championships, Wang Yudong said: "I am very familiar with Shenzhen, I grew up here since I was a child, and I am very familiar with the climate and venue here. ”

After the U20 national team's match against Kyrgyzstan, Zhang Chunhui met with Wang Yudong on the court and encouraged him to continue to play hard. In that game, Wang Yudong let the opposing fullback eat two yellow cards on the left side and was sent off, and even the technique of upside down golden hook was displayed. Since ancient times, heroes have come out of youth, Zhang Chunhui hopes that Wang Yudong will fly higher and farther, and hopes that he can make greater contributions to Chinese football, and now is just the beginning.
