Hello everyone, this is Chen Yubo from Class 4 of Grade 8 of Boya International Experimental School in Qingzhen, Guiyang.
Today, I want to say here to my mother and uncle—
Please stop stopping my dreams!

Recently, Hunan Satellite TV broadcast a program called "Youth Story". One of the ten-minute films was broadcast by this child. The above sentence is the opening speech of Chen Yubo's speech on stage. In front of the two family members and the students in the playground, he wants to find a "live way" for his football dream.
" I have always had a dream of being a football player. From the first contact with football in fifth grade, it was like finding a goal in life."

"Mom, although you sent me to the football club under my begging, but you didn't really support me, you would splash me cold water. Uncle, you once told me that our family is ordinary people, You are not this piece of material. "

Chen Yubo said that after entering the club to study for a year, he became the team captain. Even the coach said that he was very talented, and also recommended that parents send their children to a better football school. But after entering junior high school, Chen Yubo's family feared that playing football would affect his studies and stopped his chance to go to the football club.
" Mom, do you know how sad I am? Today I want to tell you here, no matter how hard you try to obstruct my dream, I will not give up my original dream."

"Mom, I really want to play football. I hope you will continue to support me. I promise not to delay learning. I want to be a football player. Uncle, I will tell you with my strength that I am a unique piece of material. . "
The child said "simple and rude" in a paragraph, and the message sent out silenced the two elders present, and Chen Yubo also wept a few times. However, in the short ten-minute clip of the show, Chen Yubo ’s mother did not “relieve her mouth.” She expressed her support for her son to play football and strengthen her body, but she would not agree to take the professional football path unless she waited until the age of 18. .
Anyone who is familiar with competitive sports will understand the truth. There has never been a shortcut to the professional level. Among the successful ones, who has not been on the training ground since childhood. Before starting at 18, Chen Yu's eloquent football dream is not easy to realize.

Chen Yubo also knew very well that, according to his mother's arrangement, it was too late to practice at the age of 18. He hoped his family would support him. But the problem pointed out by my mother is also obvious. The general environment of Chinese football makes it difficult to look back once you embark on this road, but your child ’s life is only a one-way street. If there is no way out in the field of football in the future, employment will become Huge problem.
Mother's persistence, and her reasoning-Chen Yubo has not conducted professional training for more than a year. Now, at 14 years old, he may not be the most suitable choice for professional football. It is likely that football is not good at playing and learning. delayed.

The host Chen Ming gave his suggestions in the second half of the clip. For his mother, his proposal is to "stand from the opposite side of the child in emotions and attitudes. As a parent, first understand the football admission rate and wage income. , The employment environment, etc., after careful and systematic understanding, then communicate. "As for the admonition to Chen Yubo, it is related to the child's judgment on the level of personal football:" I want to make a small request to you, that is, what you are Football skills must also have a clear judgment. "
" Sometimes, we see that many children have dreams of going to the sky, but you must be clear about the gap between your dreams. "

Chen Ming finally let Chen Yubo's hope of "hug her mother, believe her mother" in the past fail to materialize in the camera. Chen Yubo pouted and left, apparently still holding a grudge. When the group of three left, the film echoed Chen Ming's narration: " This mother's worries are how many mothers' worries. But these mothers really built the environment of Chinese football with their children. "

On the evening of the 16th, this clip of the program was posted on the official Weibo of Juvenile said, which caused some people in the football circle to pay attention.
Xu Yang, a former international football consultant and CCTV football commentator, remarked: Whether you choose professional football or a hobby in the future, you hope that football will be your lifelong friend ... Like the host's final summary.

Guo Da player Yu Dabao not only expressed his personal views, but also worked hard to help Chen Yubo solve the current difficulties:
"This is the current social environment, not just Chinese football. Parents choose the future for their children, and the children cannot stick to their dreams! In the end, they can only give up halfway. I sincerely hope that Guizhou Hengfeng Club and Wen Xiaoting can pay attention to the young players A training platform for professional coaches to make an assessment. Even if he cannot become a professional player in the future, he can do football-related occupations. "

Zhang Yuning then forwarded his teammate's Weibo, attaching an essay screenshot:
"It is difficult to become a professional player, and few people can achieve their dreams. However, having a tough and even" stubborn "character like a child is destined to achieve something as long as he insists on doing one thing. This" achievement " He may not be able to satisfy others, but he confessed himself, took responsibility for himself, and was able to gain a foothold in society by being able to take responsibility, which is what football can bring in the process of educating people. "
"Seeing the difficulties and worries of parents, thinking of 'football and education', as well as their essence, and the criteria for measuring their success ... I still feel that when a child can shout his dream in front of everyone, when he is still He has succeeded in loving such a beautiful thing. "

After receiving the baton from Dabao, Wen Xiaoting also replied on Weibo:
"As the only professional club in Guizhou, the gate of Hengfeng Youth Training Base is always open to every teenager with a dream of football. Welcome Chen Yubo to our Duyun Base for training! Here, we can really guarantee both learning and training. That's right! Welcome Chen Yubo's mother and family to visit the club, learn about the growth of professional players and career planning from a distance, and let us cheer for Guizhou football! "

The conflict between Chen Yubo and his mother is also the conflict between many children who want to play football and their parents. The soil of Chinese football has lost the trust of tens of millions of parents in the country. In the parenting concept of many families, playing football has become equal to the prospect of self-destruction. As a result, the problem of youth training lacking fresh blood is becoming increasingly difficult to solve, and the thickness of Chinese football cannot be increased. Over time, it has become a vicious circle.
But there is one thing that cannot be ignored, after all, children have the right to have dreams. The desire for football is by no means their fault.
Chen Yubo's future is unpredictable, but it is foreseeable that even if he successfully enters the Guizhou Hengfeng Youth Training Base, this opportunity will not be easily copied by ordinary people. Network video screenshot
You and I know that Chen Yubo ’s luck is also due to chance, and countless children like Chen Yubo are loved. Most of them may not have the talent to play in professional fields, but who can guarantee that there is really no football teenager worth expecting?
The unresolved problem is difficult for the author to answer in the text for the time being. But at least, Chinese football needs to carry more love and dreams for young people.
