Basic Info
In the early morning semi-finals of the European Cup, Spanish young player Yamal made a stunning performance that not only sent football into the net, but also engraved his name into the history of the European Cup. At the age of only 17, he became the youngest scorer in this top-level competition, and this glory seems to be just the prelude to his glorious football career. Imagine what kind of sharpness and confidence he will bring to the next World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico at the age of 18; How will he lead Spain's youth storm in the next 2030 World Cup?
Perhaps for this genius teenager, football and academics are like two parallel lines in his life, intertwined yet not interfering with each other. In the face of the reporter's interview, Yamal's face was filled with the innocence unique to teenagers. He admitted that this summer he not only had to compete in the European Cup, but also had to take care of the learning tasks of middle school students. On one hand, there was a highly anticipated green field, and on the other hand, there was a mountain of textbook homework. Yamal was able to handle it with ease, and even humorously expressed the hope that the teacher would forgive him after seeing his performance and not let him repeat the year

Going back to 2014, a scout report about 6-year-old Yamal was placed on the desk of Jordi Lula, the head of Barcelona's youth training department. The conclusion of the report was concise yet powerful: "This child is too special, we must pay attention to him!" Subsequently, Barcelona conducted a series of trials and game assessments on this boy from Roca Fonda, and finally decided to bet on this football elf. This scene is reminiscent of Barcelona's favor for another talented teenager Messi at that time, and Yamal is also seen as the "successor of Messi" by the outside world
On April 30, 2023, in the 32nd round of La Liga, Yamal made his debut for Barcelona's first team. In that game, his childish face was filled with longing and longing for the future. This season, he won the La Liga championship with Barcelona, appearing in 50 matches and scoring 7 goals. This record is perfect for a rookie, and Yamal was also selected for the Spanish national team and competed in the European Championship with his outstanding performance
Chinese player Wang Yudong, who is the same age as Yamal, has shown a completely different picture in his football career. Wang Yudong, who has loved football since childhood, started playing football early under the influence of his father. Due to the lack of professional training facilities at that time, Wang Yudong's father and the parents of several other young players jointly funded the construction of a stadium and established the "Iron Bull" football club. In April 2017, Wang Yudong participated in the 18th Inter Milan Cup in Italy with the team and won third place, which was also the best record of an Asian team in the tournament. In December of the same year, in the 2006 age group national finals, Wang Yudong won the championship with an outstanding performance of 9 goals in 5 games. Best scorer and best player, and selected for the best lineup, with this dazzling performance report, Wang Yudong was successfully selected for the "06 Elite Training Camp" of the Chinese Football Association and became a member of the Chinese U13 team
In the 2023 season, 16-year-old Wang Yudong joined the Zhejiang team and became the youngest player to appear in the AFC Champions League. In the U17 Asian Youth Championship, Wang Yudong represented the Chinese national youth team in 6 appearances and scored 11 goals, demonstrating a decent level of competitiveness. In the highly skilled Chinese Super League, Wang Yudong had very few opportunities to play, only appearing 4 times and providing 1 assist throughout the season
Yamal and Wang Yudong, one is a rising star in European football and the other is a hopeful star for the future of Chinese football. Both are talented young football players, but their growth trajectory reflects the huge gap between Chinese football and world football
The reason why football powerhouses can continuously produce talented players like Yamal is closely related to their well-established scouting system. These countries' clubs have a global scouting network, and excellent talents from any corner cannot escape their eyes. In order to explore potential new stars, scouts can cross oceans and track and observe target players for months or even years. Yamal was selected by Barcelona at the age of 6, which is the best example. On the other hand, in China, few clubs are willing to spend time and energy to establish their own scouting system, and youth training work is mostly superficial. The selection scope is narrow, the selection mechanism is opaque, and the coaching level is uneven, resulting in a serious shortage of reserve talents in Chinese football
In addition to the gap in the scouting system, the difference in youth training concepts is also an important reason for the backwardness of Chinese football. World top youth training institutions such as Barcelona's La Masia Youth Training Camp and France's Cleefontaine Football Training Camp not only have first-class training facilities and professional coaching teams, but more importantly, they tailor training programs for each player, focusing on cultivating their comprehensive qualities. They also emphasize the importance of learning cultural courses when teaching football skills and tactics. Yamal did not forget to complete assignments during the European Cup, which is a manifestation of this youth training concept. However, domestic youth training often only focuses on players' technical and tactical training, neglects cultural course learning, and even leads to the phenomenon of players giving up their studies to play football. This is a bottom line. The practice of inversion is undoubtedly not conducive to the long-term development of players
The coaching philosophy is also a key factor affecting the growth of players. In European football, coaches dare to boldly use young players, give them more opportunities to play, help them accumulate experience in real combat, and grow quickly. However, in Chinese football, coaches often value performance and experience more and dare not give young players opportunities easily, resulting in many young players wasting their time on the bench and ultimately disappearing from the crowd. Wang Yudong's rare playing opportunities in Zhejiang team are a microcosm of this phenomenon
The future of Chinese football requires more talented young players like Wang Yudong, a more scientific and comprehensive youth training system, and coaches to give young players more trust and opportunities. Only in this way can Chinese football break through the haze and regain its former glory.
