If I have the opportunity to visit Hainan, Magic Coach Milu: Football and education both require a "happy concept" China | Football | Philosophy
On the afternoon of the 17th, former head coach of the Chinese men's football team, Milu, attended a themed seminar at a foreign language school in Beijing and stated that the concept of "happy football" still applies to today's Chinese football. He also pointed out that the key to the development of Chinese football youth training is to "let the right people do the right things.".
At the meeting, teachers, students, parents, guests, and Milu reached an agreement: everyone will work together to organize the "Magic Coach Football Culture and Education Carnival" in Beijing, Shanghai, and Sanya in the future, and Milu will be specially invited as the image ambassador. Milu said, "I have never been to Hainan before, and I hope to have the opportunity to see it."
The concept of happy football is not outdated
21 years ago, Milu led the Chinese men's football team to the 2002 World Cup in Korea and Japan, which was also the only time that the Chinese men's football team had "broken out of Asia" so far. Milu became the "only" not only because of his technical skills and tactics, but also because of his high emotional intelligence, which is proficient in human relationships. He straightened out the internal rules and regulations of the national football team and put forward the slogans "attitude determines everything" and "happy football".
21 years have passed, and when asked whether the concept of "happy football" still applies to today's high-pressure Chinese football, Milu gave a positive answer. He first explained that the concept of "happy football" is not blindly optimistic, but rather completes training and matches while maintaining a good mindset. He recalled that in the Asian qualifiers for the South Korean and Japanese World Cup, most of the goals scored by the Chinese team were scored through set pieces, which were the result of repeated training exercises.
He also gave examples on site, gathered the children present to practice together, and explained that goals are not easily achieved. Only by going on stage with "happiness" can we progress towards our goals day after day and achieve success.
When it comes to the youth training work of Chinese football, Milu pointed out that there have been ups and downs in the past youth training work. The youth training of Chinese football needs to be firm in goals, keep moving towards them, choose the right people, and do the right things.
Integrating Sports and Education to Promote the Cultural and Tourism Industry
Milu has led five national teams, including Mexico, Costa Rica, the United States, Nigeria, and China, to qualify for the World Cup. He is a magical coach who has led his team to compete in the World Cup five times in a row. During his tenure as coach of the Chinese team, Milu also led the team to fight across the country and basically traveled throughout China, becoming a true "China expert".
As the dual ambassador for the 2022 FIFA Qatar World Cup and the 2024 Qatar Asian Cup, Milu attended a unique themed seminar on "cultural and sports tourism industry+international education", and had a pleasant and interesting interactive dialogue with numerous teachers, students, and parents.
