BERLIN Authentic Teuvo Teravainen Jersey , Jan. 7 (Xinhua) -- Marco Pezzaiuoli, a German trainer and Youth Coordinator at Chinese football club Guangzhou Evergrande, told Xinhua in a recent interview that China has great potential in football but still has a lot of homework to do in youth training, including to set up a sound league system Authentic Jaccob Slavin Jersey , to have more pitches and to introduce special rules to youth football games to folster development.
Xinhua: How is your Chinese after a year in China?
Pezzaiuoli: Do you have to start with my weakness?
Xinhua: Well, yes. We're looking forward to you speaking Chinese?
Pezzaiuoli: (laughing) Ok, I seem to be trapped.
Xinhua: And?
Pezzaiuoli: To be honest, it's terrible. I can say a few words such as right Authentic Victor Rask Jersey , left, pressing or counter-attack, but I obviously have to improve. And that's one of my biggest New Year resolutions to learn Chinese like I can speak Italian, Spanish Authentic Scott Darling Jersey , Dutch, Japanese or Korean.
Xinhua: What will take longer, you learning Chinese or China winning the World Cup?
Pezzaiuoli: You seem to be an expert for tricky questions. But never mind. I hope it takes longer for China to win the World Cup as my plan is to speak Chinese much better within the next year.
Xinhua: Any predictions when China will be ready to win a major tournament such as the World Cup?
Pezzaiuoli: To be honest, it will be a matter of decades.
Xinhua: Why?
Pezzaiuoli: Just take a look at Japan or South Korea. They have developed impressively in recent times and are still far from claiming the trophy you talked about. But that is nothing to be sad about. Football is a fascinating game that gives you so much. To see that a nation determined to improve is great. And China is developing Authentic Elias Lindholm Jersey , but things takes time. It would be no different if Germany tried to become the world's leading table tennis nation. And for China it's maybe much harder to achieve...
Xinhua: Why?
Pezzaiuoli: China is an extremely open and inquisitive country and the people are eager to learn. But just take a look at the size of this gigantic nation. 27 times bigger than Germany, here 80 million people there 1.4 billion. The first challenge is to instill a system that everybody can rely upon in your football.
Xinhua: You're thinking of a league system like in Germany or other European countries?
Pezzaiuoli: That is one of the "problems" in China, the country is far too big to have a similar system. For us that means we play a tournament twice a year. It is no secret, training does not help you as much as competitive games do. But plans are in progress to have a sort of league system with a monthly tournament style.
Xinhua: What is the biggest difference between Europe and China with regard to junior training and scouting Authentic Brock McGinn Jersey , the size of the country or is football still a fringe sport?
Pezzaiuoli: It's a sport that has to fight for recognition. You rarely see kids playing football on the streets. You see basketball baskets and table tennis tables that are occupied from six in the morning to late at night. You rarely see football pitches, but things are starting to develop and change.
Xinhua: Any other significant differences?
Pezzaiuoli: A lot has been already done in China's junior set-up. And many have already adopted the important thought that short-term success is not the best way, meaning, don't look at the results first and foremost. Some teams still play rather defensively because they fear losing. But in modern football and the one that will be played in the future you need speed and tactical variety. We in Evergrande played against all youth teams of big European clubs Authentic Sebastian Aho Jersey , and lost many games. However we gained a lot of experience as we did at the 2016 Mercedes Benz Junior Cup which is played indoors. Nothing beats experience in football, you can practice for hours on end but you lack the competitive edge. One important topic besides that is to combine a good school education with sport. A good academic background opens your mind for sports and vice-versa.
Xinhua: Meaning junior football needs special rules or its own rules and regulations?
Pezzaiuoli: To play junior football and keep within FIFA rules for adults does not help, I think. In Europe, developing young footballers is of paramount importance. For instance it means it is detrimental if junior teams have to play a full 90 minutes. In junior football Authentic Justin Williams Jersey , it is important to have more substitutes and not only three like in senior football. In China many have adopted that thought too, but there is still a lot to catch up. China has an enormous potential with regard to sport and sports science, and talented youngsters. But as I said, it's a problem supporting the talents as they are spread all over the big country.
Xinhua: What is your experience when it comes to developing young coaches?
Pezzaiuoli: If you want to create good young footballers Authentic Jordan Staal Jersey , you need good coaches. In Europe at the moment, clubs are aware of the fact that you need highly-trained specialist coaches for juniors. Meaning: You need the best to help your promising youngsters make the move from junior teams to the seniors.
Xinhua: In recent interviews, you mentioned how important the mentality of a team is. Are there any differences between Europe and China?
Pezzaiuoli: As you know my roots are European and I was trained in Germany football-wise. Therefore I feel it is important that my team fulfills certain tasks involving team building and team spirit, meaning the team and the players have to solve certain tasks on their own. It is important for a team that players care for each other.
Xinhua: What exactly are you talking about?
Pezzaiuoli: For instance video analysis of the games. I often leave it to the players to analyze our games. That helps them to understand what went well and what wrong Authentic Noah Hanifin Jersey , and what needs improvement. I tell them leFinance > Stock Market
