Reporter Nan Nan Jinan reports On July 16, at 7:24 a.m., a mother rushed to the gate of Licheng No. 2 Middle School with her child. The school's security guard was surprised, "So early?" "He's still young, he's here to be a caddie today. The child's mother said. What's your name? "Out of duty, the security guard still has to confirm the identity of the child. The little boy didn't speak, silently turned his back, pulled down his coat, and revealed the name on the back of the jersey - Kim Youkang. The security guard smiled, "It's pretty cool. ”

Liu Xiaoxin, president of the "Football" newspaper, said at the opening ceremony of the first Centennial Famous School Elite Exchange Competition (hereinafter referred to as the Centennial Famous School Cup): "The century-old famous schools from 18 provinces and cities are the core strength of education in their respective regions. Qingqun, secretary of the general party branch and principal of Xi'an Tieyi Middle School, one of the participating teams, also said: "Campus football should not compete for the sake of competition, and education is still the foundation of campus football." ”

What is Education in Campus Football? The team of the primary school affiliated to Jinan Normal School may have explained it in the simplest way.

They played in the second match of the Primary Division and arrived at the venue before the first game was over. The coach pointed to the side of the court, and all the players lined up to the end of the track, put down their backpacks and began to warm up. The first game is over, and it is the turn of the Jishi Affiliated Elementary School to play. All the team members lined up neatly and walked to the back of the home team's bench, and lined up their backpacks neatly. Education is always effective in the subtleties.

Ding Youzhe, the captain of Xiamen People's Primary School, is the captain of the team, and he is already 1.68 meters tall in the sixth grade. His dark skin and calm temperament set him apart on the field. In the opening match of the primary school group with Kunming Shulin No. 2 Primary School, Ding Youzhe scored two goals. The mother, who followed the team all the way from Xiamen, was so happy in the stands that she couldn't keep her mouth shut. Ding Youzhe's teammate, No. 9 Zeng Linpeng is a Jiangmen Huzi, and his father played for Xiamen Yuanhua. Zeng Linpeng's mother introduced: "Her son (Ding Youzhe) is a top student, and her mother never has to worry about studying. In this regard, Ding Youzhe's mother was very calm, "Learning is originally his own business." Our school is quite strange, and the children of the school's football team have good grades. ”

In the 2005 Toulon Cup, Chen Tao's flower foot pass was roared by the coach's seat. 20 years have passed, and the children of Dalian Northeast Road Primary School have the courage to play fancy passes when they are 0-2 behind. This schoolchild, who once shocked the whole country and walked out of dozens of international players, faced opponents whose physical conditions were far stronger than his own, never gave up any ball scramble, nor did he give up every opportunity to show himself.

The children from the High School Affiliated to Peking University are a team of top students. Just a few hours before the start of the Peking University High School, the school's team participating in the Youth Championship defeated Beijing Guoan U15 on penalties in the Beijing finals and advanced to the national competition. The children who come to Jinan regard it as an experience in their lives. Perhaps, these children's understanding of football is not limited to winning or losing, but whether they can play football happily.

The Centennial School Cup is a bridge, which not only shortens the distance between 24 schools in 18 provinces across the country, but also shortens the distance of people who can radiate the sport of football. Campus football is more than just campus and football. What we can do is try to make these children happy to read and play football happily. Perhaps, some of them will regard football as a job that will accompany them all their lives.
