"This is the first time in more than 30 years that a player has been selected for the national youth men's football team in Inner Mongolia, which also indirectly shows that the training method is effective." A few days ago, the 18-year-old Boy BaiheLamu, who successfully transferred to Shandong Luneng Football Club, as a member of the U-18 national youth men's football team, prepared for the 2022 Asian Youth Championship. On the 14th, wang Xuesong, the head of his former owner, Inner Mongolia Shengle Mengyang Football Club, talked about this and was excited.
In China, football reform has never stopped, especially in Inner Mongolia, China's first pilot province for football reform.
In Inner Mongolia, change is starting with children. In Hohhot and Lingle Football Town, there are more than 100 teenagers like Baihelam who want to make football a lifelong career.
"In football, 9 to 12 years old is the main age group that determines the future growth level of players." Wang Xuesong has dealt with football all his life, is a returned overseas Chinese, when he was a teenager, he went to Japan to study and play football, and he left for 15 years. "In Inner Mongolia, the state of children at this age group mostly stays in school football and interest popularization. Because of the lack of professional guidance and scientific training, talent is constrained. ”
In 2015, Wang Xuesong returned to his hometown to establish a football youth club in Inner Mongolia, which specializes in professional football training for teenagers aged 9 to 16. "This is the stage where I restarted my original intention."
In just 6 years, the club has grown into a leader in professional football training for young people in Inner Mongolia. It has the largest and largest training base north of the Yellow River in China, and has trained 19 professional athletes. "We have won all the inner Mongolia men's youth football competitions for all ages, and we are also the only team in Inner Mongolia to participate in the National Youth Super League."
In the soccer town, children are divided into 5 groups according to their age and carry out different training in a targeted manner.

"Individual talent, scientific training, good team and good opponents." This is the four key to level improvement summarized by Wang Xuesong. "It's impossible for every child to be a genius. What we're doing now is using professional training and high-level competition to hammer them over and over again. ”
Training, racing, finding problems and retraining, improving problems and re-playing... In this cycle, the more efficient the learning, the greater the chance of success.
"A good intelligent system can at least improve training effectiveness by 20% to 30%." Wang Xuesong told reporters that 20 years ago, Japan was already cultivating youth football ability through specialized equipment and professional training. "After returning to China, I found that especially in underdeveloped areas like Inner Mongolia, the importance of these is far from enough."
In 2018, the club introduced a video capture, analysis, and sports training system. Coaches use smart devices to observe children's performance in daily training and competitions, and capture sports data. Each child has an electronic training file.
"In the past, it was mostly judged by the experience of the coach and the intuitive feeling of the child. More subjective and less comprehensive. "Coach Guo Ming has been with the children for 6 years." Scientific and technological means to do auxiliary and quantitative analysis must be the direction of development. ”

Intelligent systems are also a stepping stone to children's careers.
"For example, Baiheram." Wang Xuesong told reporters that if only relying on the results of the competition, it is difficult for children in small clubs like them to be "seen". "This time, we used the data to compare with the national team players horizontally and won a chance to be 'discovered'."
"Football is a sport that completes others and makes oneself. This is also its greatest charm. Wang Xuesong told reporters.
Nowadays, the football town is famous, except for Inner Mongolia, about half of the students come from 6 provinces and regions such as Jiangxi, Henan and Xinjiang.
"I don't think it's in vain. Physical fitness and tactical cultivation are much better than before, and I am more confident in the future. Song Haoran is 15 years old this year, playing school football in his hometown of Handan City, Hebei Province, at the age of 9, and came to the football town at the age of 13 (2019). He has now grown into a key player in the club and is also a national level athlete.
These days, Wang Xuesong has just sent 24 children to Guangzhou for training in preparation for the 15th Inner Mongolia Games, and then plunged into the winter training camp that is about to start. "We are still here in the county football reform pilot. The winter training camp is the fourth session, mainly for the society, non-professional, with a total of more than 3,000 participants. (End)
