July 8th According to the Football News, Gao Hong, a former national football team football team, said when attending the 2025 Youth Women's Football Development Seminar that players are the most important elements in the development of women's football.

Gao Hong said: "After the Japanese women's football team won the World Cup, the Japanese women's football team has flourished. They made it into movies, they made it into novels, and they attracted more girls to devote themselves to their careers. All the policies formulated by the Football Association are for the development of this sport."

"I think we need to adjust our motivation for formulating policies. Decision makers must realize that all policies serve this industry and serve athletes. Talent is the most important element in this sport. No one is football. No, no athletes, football does not exist. Without coaches and managers, you may still be able to do it, but without athletes, you will not have this sport. So athletes should be the most popular people in this sport, and all policies should revolve around them. I have traveled to many places and looked at a lot of situations. Back to the managers of our associations at all levels, I think we should protect this sport."

Recalling the hard training during the players' time, Gao Hong said: "I spent 6 years in Shaanxi when I was a player, and I made great progress with it. Men's football team training together, I think training with boys is very good for women's football youth training. Secondly, love is internal driving! I never need to force myself in training because I have ambition, because I love, because I want to be handsome when I am on the court. In those years in Shaanxi, I rarely go home. During the Spring Festival, I trained on the playground myself. In the past, I got up at 5 a.m. and jumped rope, and I have always maintained this habit when I arrived at the national team. "

"I used to have two things that were impressive. One was to faint, and I must have been Running more than others, but later because he was too busy, he ran out of nowhere. Another thing is to practice. Before the World Cup, I trained in Kunming Xishan. The goalkeeper practiced saving back and forth. After the save here, I immediately went there and continued to pounce until I fell tired. Therefore, it was necessary to go to the top of the sports sports. In addition to being talented, it must require very hard and hard training. This hard training must be caused by internal driving, love, and higher ambitions. This is why I could easily control the game on the court later. "
