On August 14, at the 41st Beijing Evening News Hundred Teams Cup Fengti Competition Zone, parents of Yuansheng Club held cheering flags and waved them vigorously. On this green field, in addition to the hard-working figures of the young players, the enthusiastic cheering of parents is also a unique landscape.
With the cheers of parents, Yuansheng 16 Wolf Warriors Red Team defeated Green Beyond Green Team 3 to 2. After the game, the author talked with the parents of several young players.
Feng Jiyao, a member of Yuansheng 16 Wolf Warriors Red Team, scored 3 goals for the team. His father said proudly: "I am very satisfied with my child's performance today. His dream is to play in the Champions League. We will fully support his football dream and focus on cultivating his English skills to prepare him for international competitions." Another parent, Zhang Binggang, believes that interest cultivation is important. He said that although he is also a football coach, he accompanies his children in practice outside of class and does not want to put pressure on them.
During the communication with the young players, they generally said that their parents' cheering made them feel warm and powerful. Feng Jiyao said excitedly: "Seeing my parents cheering for me makes me feel very energetic."
During the conversation, some young players mentioned the topic of their parents' "off-court guidance". One young player said frankly: "I know they mean well, but sometimes it distracts me." Some young players also said that they couldn't hear what their parents were saying on the court, but their parents' voices and actions would affect their concentration.
Regarding this topic, the author interviewed a football coach from a British club. He said: "Our coaching team is also thinking about how to better balance the relationship between guidance and letting children play independently. We hope to be a guide for children on their growth path, not a controller."
At the Hundred Teams Cup, we saw the enthusiasm of parents and heard the children's desire for independent space. At the Hundred Teams Cup, winning or losing is not the only thing. The training and growth of children on the field are the most valuable. The voice of the young players is simple and sincere: "I am already very satisfied that my parents come to watch my game. The emotional support they give me is enough. I hope they believe in me and let me make my own decisions on the field."
