Considering football player profiles

I need to clarify what Huang means, focusing on team size, strength, speed, and how it responds to physical challenges, particularly for center-backs and goalkeepers.

However, there are pitfalls to consider like ignoring technical skill, the age effect, and potential biases against slower players. For instance, while East Asian players may have different physical traits, Japan has successfully utilized technique.

We should adopt a balanced approach of “大型化+快灵化,” emphasizing strength, speed, and technical refinement with specific profiles defined by position.Integrating player development pipeline

I need to keep the player development pipeline cohesive, emphasizing technique and decision-making from U13 to U17 levels. Additionally, incorporating strength and conditioning from age 12 onward is important, while monitoring growth spurts to avoid overtraining. From age 16, we can start focusing on targeted strength training.

For scouting, I’ll use data and video analysis, looking at speed tests, leaps, and sprinting abilities without relying on single tournament outcomes to assess player performance.

Coaching should involve tactical modernization, focusing on strategies like pressing traps and compactness between lines. We must analyze the recent 0-8 defeat, identifying broken pressing, set piece issues, and lost duels.Answering the question on player selection

I need to address the question of whether player selection should focus on overall size. My answer is that it's not that simple; it should be role-specific while also considering speed and strength. For goalkeepers, center-backs, and forwards, size matters for aerial duels, but midfielders and wingers should prioritize speed, agility, and technique. We need to set size standards to compete internationally without making them absolute.

To create an actionable framework, I should focus on defining position archetypes, implementing a strength and conditioning program, conducting objective talent identification combines, enhancing coaching education, ensuring competitive league intensity for U21 players, and organizing international friendlies against top-tier teams for calibration.

I must conclude by emphasizing that while size isn’t the only factor, strength and speed are crucial, pointing to successful teams like Spain and Japan that prove height isn’t everything.
