On the morning of the 10th, Kunming Haigeng sports training base was warm and quiet. When the wind blows, the petals of cherry trees fall, 15 empty standard football fields give off grass fragrance, and the small flags on the horn flagpole rustle.
In the winter and spring of previous years, it was when the base was full of voices. Dozens of training teams from all over the country and even from neighboring countries will fly to the ridge like migratory birds to train and reserve physical fitness at an altitude of nearly 2,000 meters. However, this year, a sudden outbreak of new coronavirus caused the international sports arena to basically stop and the event stopped.
Only two of the 22 women’s football teams planned to train at Haigeng base in February arrived as promised.
At noon on the 10th, Changchun Volkswagen outstanding women’s football club was still in groups under the sun: long-distance attacks at all costs, header in front of the door, and the front ground cooperation…… It is undeniable that this is a high-quality training competition. The leader Sun Jianwen made no secret that the goal of this trip to the plateau-to prepare for the Women’s Super League to win the championship, “If you want to compete for the championship, you have to pay more”.
After entering the base on February 23, Changchun women’s football team immediately started training and recalled two foreign aid from Argentina and Brazil. According to relevant regulations, the two were isolated and observed for 14 days after entering the country. “Now, we have a lot of people, all of them return to the team, which is very beneficial to the technical and tactical running-in. Although it is not known when the league will restart, it will not be wrong to prepare for a rainy day and fly ahead of time.”
When talking about the topic of salary reduction in the Super League, Sun Jianwen said frankly that the Changchun women’s football team would not only reduce the salary, but also invest plus-sized to support the Chinese women’s football career. “The income of women’s football players is far lower than that of men’s football players. The salary reduction will undoubtedly hurt their enthusiasm and make the professionalization of Chinese women’s football more difficult.”
Chongqing Yongchuan leinda women’s football club entered the base on March 5. General Manager Cui Qi recalled the scene when it was full in previous years and used one word: squeeze. “The accommodation is tight, the laundry and meals are long queues, and there are four teams in the power room at the same time. This year, it is not so crowded.”
As the general manager of a women’s team, Cui Qi has a sense of crisis. “Because of the epidemic, the whole team took 45 days off. For professional athletes, the rest time is too long, the will will be killed, and the body function will decline. Therefore, we need to ‘resume work’ as soon as possible ‘, make up for the missed class.” Cui Qi said that no matter what difficulties, the team needs to have a professional state.
“The current situation of Chinese women’s football is not good, and the gap with the strong teams in Europe and America is widening. As a member of the women’s football team, I really hope to do something, make some efforts to improve the overall level of women’s football.” Cui Qi said frankly that the plateau was closed for more than a month, which improved the team’s physical recovery, technical and tactical drills, and detailed polishing.
In order to make the two women’s football teams rest assured, eat at ease, and train without worry, the sea ridge base is quite thoughtful: masks, disinfectant, hand washing gel, and disinfectant alcohol are the same; Disinfection, ventilation, the body temperature test is the same; The safety, nutrition and delicious of the three meals are the same.
The epidemic will eventually pass and the stadium will wait for the players. In the evening, the sprinkler water valve of 15 football fields began to rotate and the grass fragrance overflowed. Perhaps, a vibrant recovery only takes one night.
