Zhou Haibin's Weibo has triggered a wave of reminiscence killings, and the familiar faces in the photos, although they are no longer young, still appear particularly cordial - Li Weifeng, Chen Tao, He Yang, Zhou Haibin, Yuan Weiwei, Zhang Chiming, who are extremely familiar to Tianjin fans, Han Peng and Jiao Zhe in Shandong, Wang Qiang, Zou Jie, Wang Peng, Hu Zhaojun in Dalian, Wen Huyi in Yanbian, Zhang Xinxin in Guoan, Pu Wei and Lou Xiaoxu in women's football... It's all coming together. It turned out that yesterday was the day of the completion of the A-level coach training class organized by the Chinese Football Association, and these famous players who had once been green and green were all freshly baked A-level coach card holders, who had obtained the qualification to coach the Chinese Second Division or the Chinese First Division and the Chinese Super League echelon, and were only one step away from taking charge of the Chinese Super League team. After Li Tie, Li Xiaopeng, Hao Wei, Yu Genwei and others of the "post-70s" have taken up the coaching whip, most of these retired players who belong to the "post-80s" have also become or are about to become a new generation of coaching teams.
This A-level coach training course is quite special compared to the past, in addition to "famous players like clouds", this is also because of the first A-level coach training course after two years of shutdown. The last time the Chinese Football Association organized an A-level coach training class was in September and October 2019, and the graduates of that period included Cao Yang, Zhang Bin and others. In addition, this course can also be called the "longest". In general, the Level A coaching course is conducted in two phases, each lasting approximately two weeks and ending in up to two months. According to the notice issued by the Football Association at the end of June, the first phase was held from July 12 to 25 and the second phase was held from September 13 to 25, but during this period the epidemic suddenly recurred, and the Football Association suspended all training courses in early August and did not resume until mid-October, so the training course became "from early summer to late autumn", and did not officially close until yesterday.
Although he only qualified to coach in the Chinese Second Division or the Chinese First Division and the Chinese Super League after obtaining the A-level coaching certificate, in fact, several Tianjin students in this training course have already embarked on the coaching unit: Li Weifeng once led the team to relegation as the leader of the Tianhai coaching team, and a deafening speech in the locker room is still talked about; He Yang just became the head coach of the Chengdu Rongcheng U21 echelon some time ago; Yuan Weiwei has coached in the Tianhai and Shenzhen echelons, and last season he was promoted to the first team to assist Zhang Xiaorui Chen Tao is now the head coach of the Shenzhen U16 echelon, and the team he coached just defeated the Chinese junior team through a penalty shootout last night to win the "Origins Ground Cup" invitational tournament. This team, which is mainly based on passing control, has been branded by Chen Tao.
Zhou Haibin, who just announced his retirement in June last year, is now an assistant coach of the first team of Shandong Taishan. This season, he and Han Peng, Jiao Zhe, Shu Chang, Fan Xuewei, and head coach Hao Wei and other Luneng celebrities formed the "Ye Qing Hui" coaching team has also become a special scenery in the Chinese Super League. Zhou Haibin, who is diligent in thinking, good at summarizing, and has a unique view of coaching, is also considered by many to be the ideal candidate to succeed Hao Wei as the head coach of Shandong Taishan in the future, and he himself has a more ambitious goal. In a previous interview, he had admitted that his goal was to become the head coach of the Chinese national team, or even to coach European teams.
Zhou Haibin, who played for the national team at the age of 18, stayed overseas at the age of 25, and announced his retirement at the age of 35, is a talented player in the eyes of many people, but he himself said that he did not find out until he stepped into the coaching position that he had been playing for so many years, and sometimes the ball was played in vain. "It was only after I became a coach that I realized that we lacked an understanding of football. For example, in technical and tactical football matches, there is no right and wrong in technical and tactical competitions, but the technical and tactical requirements of each coach are different. As a player, you have to understand the requirements of the coach and execute them before you can play the game. Not being able to play is not the coach's tactical mistake, it is that you are not meeting the requirements of the coach. When I tell young players about this, I will let them better understand the requirements of the coach, understand the team's tactical philosophy, how to attack, how to defend, first understand these and then train. I've been with a lot of coaches before and I probably know what I'm practicing, but I don't know why I'm practicing these things. Through studying, I understood these philosophy things. That's what attracted me too, and it's fun to be a coach. ”
Zhou Haibin admitted that after he decided to take the coaching position, he was thinking about how to be a good coach every day, thinking about his football career, and his understanding of football. Talking about his goal of becoming a coach, Zhou Haibin said: "The first goal is to be able to go to the national team and become the head coach of the national team. As for the second goal, it is a big dream. I hope that one day in the future, there will be Chinese standing on the European field, coaching their teams, and allowing them to recognize Chinese coaches, that is the real recognition of Chinese football. Why we hire foreign coaches, explain that we recognize their football. Of course, I know it's difficult, but this is a dream, not only my own dream, I think it's also the dream of the whole Chinese football, the unification of Chinese coaches, it can be regarded as the dream of Chinese football. ”
