Qianjiang Evening News report

Tao Jing, a boy from Hangzhou, owns a "football club," a grassroots football club named "Pingjing Paradise Football Club." Of course, it's non-commercial.

Tao Jing is a senior high school student at Hangzhou Normal University Affiliated High School. He's a key player on the school's football team, has an excellent personal football blog, and writes mostly football commentary. He also manages the club's website. Everything indicates that he's a true football enthusiast.

Although he will be entering his crucial senior year of high school after this summer vacation, he still insists on organizing club members to train once or twice a week in 39°C heat. In July, they just played a friendly match against a prestigious high school team from Hangzhou. This kind of spirit is called perseverance.

Found a football club website

Yesterday, a reporter logged onto the website www.pjsky.net, and the latest event notice on the webpage was about "the football match on August 1st." "All players who have time to participate in training, please assemble at the sports field of a certain university at 4 PM."

[Separator] The reporter saw the recently updated "official player roster" on the club's website. As of July 23, the team had 29 players and 9 support staff. The roster included 3 goalkeepers, 8 defenders, 10 midfielders, and 8 forwards, with Tao Jing playing as a forward.

It is said that the members of this football club are currently high school students in Hangzhou, and the players come from all the top provincial high schools in Hangzhou.

Born in August 1990, Tao Jing can be considered a veteran of this football club. The club's predecessor was the Hangzhou No. 13 Middle School football team, where Tao Jing played as a striker. In September 2004, the team won the championship in the Hangzhou West Lake District middle school football tournament. Therefore, Tao Jing and his fellow players have maintained their passion for football ever since.

After graduating from junior high school, Tao Jing was admitted to the High School Affiliated to Hangzhou Normal University. On January 6th of last year, coinciding with the reorganization and expansion of various school clubs, Tao Jing's "Pingjing Paradise Football Club" had an excellent opportunity to establish its own "brand." The football club's purpose is "to make friends through football and improve physical fitness," and its slogan is "We firmly believe: We are the strongest!"

Start running while kicking a Coke bottle

Tao Jing said that he and his friends' football dream started with kicking Coca-Cola bottles.

I remember when I was in junior high school, the school's sports field was under renovation, so we excitedly ran around a Coke bottle covered in scratches on a cement surface.

This is the purest football dream.

Now, the "Pingjing Paradise Football Club" has enabled Tao Jing to develop more professional qualities. In April 2006, the club participated in the Zhejiang Provincial Amateur Football League Division C.

Since the players are high school students still growing and developing, they are physically and physically inferior to adults, so the club's performance has always been unsatisfactory. In the early days of its establishment last year, it suffered significant defeats in matches against Hangzhou International, Hangzhou Qiuyuying Mall, and Shaoxing Tiantian Business Daily, and has yet to score a single goal.

Until July of last year, the club finally broke its goal drought in a friendly match against Ayi.com, with Tao Jing scoring a goal. However, the club still lost the match 1-3.

The first draw occurred last month when the club played a friendly match against a key high school team in Hangzhou, ending in a 2-2 draw.

Tao Jing said that through more than a year of "club-style football training," they have become much more rational. Initially, these young footballers dreamed of winning the championship, but they gradually realized that it was unrealistic because, as high school students, they had more important academic tasks in addition to football. In order to balance the players' normal studies, the team's lineup often had to be broken up.

"We've discovered that passion alone can't accomplish everything; roaring on the field doesn't guarantee victory, so we've begun to think rationally. Victory is the result of a combination of factors, and we've grown up in the last two years." This is Tao Jing's insight.

Brilliant blog posts reveal the temperament of a young marshal

As a "football club" founded by a high school student, Tao Jinghe's "Pingjing Paradise Football Club" is very influential.

Now, talented individuals from various clubs at Hangzhou Normal University Affiliated High School, such as the "MAX Computer Club," "New Knowledge Magazine Club," and "Rhine Comics Club," have joined. As a result, the club has grown stronger and has established various departments. "Now, the club is full of talent, and the students are full of enthusiasm and have lofty ambitions. Everyone responds strongly to the club's development plan."

On Tao Jing's football blog, "Pingjing's Paradise," the reporter saw his latest article, "The club's development needs everyone."

"On the afternoon of July 24, we drew with our opponent, which was the club's first draw in history and ended our six-game losing streak. I also saw the strength of a group of new players, who have a bright future."

But this match exposed many problems.

First of all, the players on the field were lazy. I have never seen players on the field so disobedient to instructions, which is unacceptable.

Secondly, the players on the sidelines are doing nothing. Why don't they cheer for their own team when they are playing?

...

I hope there will be fewer of these problems in the future. No matter what, our team needs everyone's support!

Between the lines, one can see the shadow of a young coach who has boundless imagination for the club's development and is working hard to realize his dream.
