Several members of the red football team said that the establishment of the red football team has brought together the red descendants who love football, united and cooperated in sports, overcome difficulties, and do some public welfare things for the society through football.
Red three generations form a red football team
In the game on the afternoon of the 8th, Premier Zhou Enlai’s nephew Sun Zhouhe served as the striker, Tao Zhu’s grandson Li Ji defended the backcourt, and Guo Moruo’s grandson Zhang Dingli guarded the goal.

Talking about the origin of the red football team, the initiator Zhou He said that this year is the 120th anniversary of the birth of Premier Zhou Enlai.One point, the red descendants who love to play football suggested to set up a football team and do some public welfare together.
Zhou Enlai's grandnephew Sunday and
Immediately, this red football team was established consisting of three generations of founding fathers, descendants of some revolutionaries, diplomats, and football lovers.This is also the only red football team in China that is based on the descendants of the founding fathers.
The first game of the red football team's national tour was selected in Xilin Gol League, Inner Mongolia. There is a long history behind this.
Zhou Bingjian, Zhou Zhouhe's mother, used to jump in the Xilin Gol League and later worked here.His father, Rasurong, is a Mongolian artist, and he also met his mother here.After Sun He was born, he lived in Xilin Gol for nearly 10 years.The prairie is my second hometown.We choose the first stop here, which is also a tribute to the youth of our parents.Football is a sport for young people. The country puts filial piety first. We hope to inspire more young people to love their parents and their hometown.Sunday and say.
At present, Chinese football is currently in the early stages of systematic reform.He believes that by choosing students to associate with herdsmen, on the one hand, set an example by setting an example, and drive more young people to play football, love football, and actively participate in physical exercise; in addition, herdsmen are an important group in the local area, and the competition can not only show the unique qualities of grassland people, but also allow more people to pay attention to the production and life of herdsmen.The first national competition in Inner Mongolia is our support and emphasis on the construction of the country's ethnic minority frontiers.
Qu Weiguo, member of the Xilin Gol League Committee and deputy head of the league, said that football can cultivate people's positive energy.The Chinese leader Chairman said before that the Chinese government attaches great importance to the development of football and provides strong and continuous support. Football is not only a competitive sport, but also can cultivate people's patriotism, collectivism, and tenacious fighting spirit.We hope that by hosting the first lsquo;red football game rsquo;, we can answer the call of the Chairman of the Central Leaders.In addition, Inner Mongolia is an important pilot of football reform, and this event is also conducive to the further promotion of our campus football construction work.
Will also go to Shanxi, Shandong, Hebei and other places to carry out public welfare activities
Although the red soccer team won the match on September 8th by a narrow margin, the team leader Zhou He admitted frankly that the cooperation among the players was far from enough.
When the team was founded, I didn't know anyone around who liked football, so I could only send WeChat one by one to ask. It happened that there were a few red descendants who really liked football. Everyone hit it off, and the team was established.But usually there are not many opportunities for everyone to get together, and there were not a few joint training sessions before this game.
Zhang Dingli, the grandson of Guo Moruo, was the goalkeeper. After two games, he intercepted the opponent's attack many times.He said that because the red football team does not usually train much, there are only a few joint training sessions, and some players are still gathering one after another. Everyone does not have a tacit understanding, and they all control the situation on the spot based on previous experience.But in the end we had a draw and a victory, and we are quite satisfied with the results.
Zhang Dingli, grandson of Guo Moruo
Zhang Dingli, who has loved football since he was a child, has become a more important way of life for him.He said that football games can feel different things, such as hard work, cooperation, unity, etc. When encountering difficulties, how can everyone turn passive into active and overcome difficulties together.This is also the spiritual wealth left to us by the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries during the war years.Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, there has been a slogan called not forgetting the original intention and forging ahead. The general secretary of the leader of the Communist Party of China has also said that the red gene is passed down from generation to generation.I think that the red football team brings everyone together, unites and cooperates in sports, overcomes difficulties, unites our red descendants better through football games, and exerts our own strength to build a beautiful homeland and create a better life.
General Chen Shiju's grandson-in-law Wang Yi also likes football.He said that this year marks the 120th anniversary of Premier Zhou's birth. We organize these activities to pass on the red gene from generation to generation, so that everyone can unite and move forward in an upward atmosphere.A strong youth makes a country strong. I hope that through football, the younger generation will love sports, build a strong body, and devote more enthusiasm to the construction of the motherland.
Sunday He said that this competition is just the beginning, and my brothers and sisters will be drawn in one after another in the future.Let's come together and be a cheerleader to enrich this group.
After the game, the red football team will also go to Shanxi, Shandong, Hebei and other places to carry out public welfare activities.
With golf clubs, you can participate in more public welfare activities
The famous football commentator Liu Jianhong and the famous host Aqiu also played as red football players.They also talked about their relationship with the red football team.
Liu Jianhong told reporters that our revolutionary tradition is very closely integrated with sports.During the Yan'an period, the Eighth Route Army carried out a lot of sports activities.At that time, there were football fields, simple gymnastic equipment, and basketball courts. The Eighth Route Army trained internally, and sports activities were carried out very well. Marshal He Long and others paid special attention to football.However, in the current environment, the red descendants have their own way of expression.
He said that after the establishment of the red football team, everyone has a common love for football and a common goal. They can make friends with football and participate in more public welfare activities.
Aqiu once interviewed the parents of the red football team members.An accidental match, we talked about it on Sunday, among the three red generationsMany people love football, but have no karma to get together. Later, they proposed to form a football team and come out to do some public welfare undertakings together.The football team has nearly 40 red descendants, but this time there are more than a dozen, but they have not yet gathered.In the future, I will follow the footsteps of my ancestors and go to the old revolutionary areas, especially the old and poor areas, to do some public welfare things in the name of football.
Talking about the current development of Chinese football, Liu Jianhong said that governments at all levels have attached great importance to football in recent years, but how the grassroots is developing still needs some tentacles and opportunities for contact.The red football team just provides such an opportunity to get in touch with different cultures in different regions and understand what grassroots football is like.
He believes that without grass roots, there will be no trees, and without trees, there will be no forests. This is a very simple logic.The same is true for Chinese football. Without extensive participation in football, there will be no excellent players; without excellent players, there will be no excellent national team, so don't even think about the World Cup.
This is a very simple truth.In my opinion, the best way is to start from the grassroots, let more children play football first, and make football a way for children to grow up healthily.Liu Jianhong said.
