[Explanation] Raise your legs, run back and forth, pass the ball, shoot... In the football field of Lanzhou Sports Park, there is always an old player in the "80" jersey trotting with the ball. He is the Gansu football field. Yang Tianxin, a well-known "net celebrity player" in Shanghai, is also affectionately called "Football Grandpa" by his football friends.
If you just look at his state on the court, you can't imagine that Yang Tianxin is 80 years old this year.
Because of his age, Yang Tianxin confessed that he never "struck" on the court, warming up first, then running, and controlling his exercise intensity with confidence.
[Concurrent] Yang Tianxin
I warm up for half an hour and ten minutes. I move my ankle and knee joints. After warming up, I will run and run, pass the ball, and start kicking the ball after warming up.
If you insist on running for two hours and three hours, you can run down and your physical condition is pretty good.
If I can grab some balls, I will grab them. If I am not sure, I must first protect myself. I will not grab this ball and protect myself from injury.
[Explanation] Yang Tianxin, who has loved sports since he was a child, has only fallen in love with football since he retired. He insists on playing football for three hours a day, and he spends more than 200 days a year.
He said that the biggest benefit of sports is a change in mentality.
[Concurrent] Yang Tianxin
My mentality is particularly good, that is, I played better today, I played better, and I was also happy. I played a little bit worse today. As far as I was involved, I participated in this sport and gained a healthy share of health. The main thing.
[Explanation] The teammates who played together told reporters that they like to play with Grandpa. Everyone will cooperate with Grandpa when he is on the field. Regardless of his skills, running on the green field at the age of 80 is very admirable.

Grandpa's words are to stand in front, then catch the ball, pour the ball down, give him an indicator every day, score one or two goals every day to make him happy, and that's it.
I think he can stick to it every day at this age.
[Explanation] When the reporter asked his grandfather what he thinks of the "lying flat youth" who are now hotly discussed on the Internet, Grandpa Yang said that age is not the reason for "lying flat". At any time, one cannot give up his inner spiritual pursuit.
[Concurrent] Yang Tianxin
Although I am very hard and tired in this football game, and sometimes get hurt, I have this sentence to tell our young people that while pursuing material things, we must not lose our spiritual pursuit. This is very precious and precious. .
