From the new defeat of the national football team: what is the selection mechanism of German football and how does football develop?

Football has become a hot topic these two days, and everyone hates iron and steel. You can talk about a few questions about the national football team and give suggestions on how to improve it.

But not many people can talk about the actual operation. Based on my previous experience in studying and working in Germany and my understanding of the German football training model, let me talk about how Germany trains football players and what is the mechanism for managing football.

Football in Germany is basically a management mode of national fitness, which is mainly implemented by clubs at all levels covering the whole country, supplemented by schools.

Various types of football clubs are distributed all over the country, with dozens of first-class professional football clubs at the top and a large number of other ordinary clubs for fitness purposes below. These clubs are funded by the state. Every football club, like a school, covers different communities and regions and enrolls students for everyone in this community. Everyone can sign up as a member of this club, from three or four years old to dozens of years old. There are no special restrictions on members. Once registered as a member, there will be an official club number and record in the country.

Everyone who participates in the club only needs to pay a symbolic fee, which is only 100 ~ 200 euros per year, equivalent to about 1000 yuan, a large part of which is subsidized by the state to ensure the normal operation of the club.

Different age groups will enter different teams; The same age level and different levels will be assigned to different teams to teach students in accordance with their aptitude. A football club arranges special coaches to guide and train athletes.

Among them, the players who play better will be identified separately, put into better teams for training, and get a certain level of remuneration and reward. The child who once knew a friend is only 10 years old. He played very well in that club, so he was selected to focus on training in a famous club youth group in that place, with a monthly salary subsidy of several hundred euros, and often participated in high-level competitions of his age.

Through this mechanism, on the one hand, it can meet the fitness needs of all football fans in the country. At the same time, we can find some good seeds in advance and train them to become seed players in the future professional football league.

Therefore, basically all people who like football or want to exercise through football in the country can join the club nearby, and there is no threshold. The club will hold regular activities to enhance the atmosphere of the club. Each team trains 2-3 times a week, and will also organize a competition mechanism with neighboring city football teams to improve the level of football through competitions.

There may be millions of football players registered in Germany, of which more than 99% are fans and only a few are professional players. Similar to other sports, such as basketball, table tennis and badminton. A similar training mode is also adopted.

Through this model, everyone can find their favorite exercise methods nearby, and there will be corresponding clubs to manage and standardize them. On the one hand, it can meet the interest needs of different people, and at the same time promote physical fitness and improve physical health.

For infrastructure construction such as stadiums, it is directly invested by the state. There are gymnasiums and gymnasiums in every major community in Germany, which can meet the fitness needs of different ages.

This national fitness model in Germany has a history of hundreds of years and its operation is very mature. This model is relatively advanced in the world.

We know that the welfare investment in western developed countries accounts for more than 20% of the gross national product, while in China it may only be about 5%, so the different investment determines the different management mechanisms. Of course, western developed countries have experienced hundreds of years of development, and their infrastructure construction and improvement have a history of hundreds of years. The national fitness system covering the whole country is also very complete and mature.

I believe that in the future, as our country's economy is getting better and better and welfare investment is increasing, we will gradually establish a sports health model similar to Germany.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the ultimate goal of sports is not to win the Olympic Games or gold medals, but to improve the physical quality and health level of the whole people to ensure the needs of modernization. Because society is human, all sports should be people-oriented.
