Unlike China, Japan was in primary school. There were no professional sports schools in middle school, but there was a corresponding club system in primary school. The importance of clubs increased significantly in high school. Many people would choose sports or other professional clubs in high school.
Other than a small number of people who were just playing around, a large number of people chose to join the club for a more serious purpose-to treat it as a career and a future path.
After high school, students began to show a trend of specialization. In addition to choosing clubs, even cultural courses were divided into several categories.
There were four major categories: Special Advancement, General, Sports, and Business.
The Special Entrance Examination was prepared for the top students in the school. The students in it were the key classes that the school had arranged for the best teachers to build. It was a little like the key classes in Celestial High School. It was to gather the best students in the school.
Since the number of students in the general subjects was the highest, they could just study normally, which was equivalent to completing compulsory education.
The business course added some practical skills to the foundation of the general course, such as software programming, office work, accounting, business management, and so on. It was a bit like some courses taught in the Chinese technical school. Generally, students who chose the business course wanted to enter the social work directly after graduating from high school.
The physical education department was responsible for teaching sports, art, and music. It was prepared for those who had special talents in these areas.
Students who chose to join this course were very enthusiastic and enthusiastic about the course. At the same time, many people in this subject would join the club of their choice. The school would also arrange for some unnecessary courses for students in this subject so that they could concentrate on their practice and hope that they could bring honor to the school.
Japan was a bit like the United States. All kinds of sports had a complete system of national competitions organized by universities, professional referees, venues, influential websites, media, and television stations. If it was a popular sport with a large audience, it would be even more impressive. There were even national media dedicated to tracking and reporting, and they would conduct personal interviews with famous athletes.
It could be said that if one were to participate in sports activities in Japan, not only would their family not stop them, but they would also support them. In Japan, if one was talented and had good results, it would be easier for them to succeed in sports. At the same time, their status in society would also be high.
In such an atmosphere, club sports had spread to almost every Japanese high school student.
"No wonder Kaede Watanabe is so strange. Sometimes, you have to be careful with your words.”
As for the baseball and Koshien that Kobayashi Yoshihara mentioned, his expression suddenly became a little serious.
"Is baseball that influential?”Kenichi Uesugi looked at the contents of the phone in disbelief.
Judging from the information on the phone, baseball had a huge influence in Japan. You could see all kinds of discussions about baseball anywhere you looked. Although it was rare in China, it was basically the same as table tennis in Japan. It was the most popular sport in the country and had the largest audience.
Not only men, but even women loved this sport.
The reason for this situation had a lot to do with Japan's history. After World War II, Japan surrendered, and the entire country fell into a dead silence. Under such circumstances, baseball became the country's spiritual sustenance.
On the other hand, baseball had the coordination of team sports and emphasized one-on-one confrontation. It was a great sport to watch, but sometimes miracles could happen. Even if it was impossible, there was still the possibility of turning the tables. It was more in line with the expectations of this country, and the appearance of such miracles could easily cause a fanatical atmosphere.
Koshien referred to a baseball stadium located in Hyoko Prefecture in Kansai. The year the stadium was built was the year of the Jiazi, so it was named after it.
Koshien was the venue for the finals of the Japanese National High School Basketball League. Any student who loved baseball or was determined to embark on the path of a professional baseball player would come to this stadium for the glory of their lives!
However, the road to enter Koshien was extremely cruel. Every summer, nearly 5000 high schools would participate in the qualifiers. They would fight in pairs, and the competition would adopt a single-loss system. In the end, 49 teams would be decided from each division to enter Koshien before the finals.
The finals also adopted a single-loss system, which meant that after losing a game, they would pack their bags and go home.
The harshness was even more severe than the American National Basketball Association.
It was impossible to win the championship without strength and luck, let alone winning the championship in a row. It was too difficult. There were only a few teams that could win the championship in a row in so many years.
However, if he won the championship in Koshien, he would gain both fame and fortune, and a broad and broad road would be laid out in front of him.
During the finals, the 50,000-seat stadium of Koshien was fully occupied. The entire event was broadcasted live on national television, and 30 million people watched it online. Under such circumstances, once one showed their potential or achieved good results, professional baseball would choose to recruit them. The famous schools would also recruit the champion team of Koshien.
After winning the championship, the players would be treated like heroes when they returned home. Thousands of people lined the streets to welcome them. This was an experience that the youth could not refuse.
After reading the message, Ken Uesugi couldn't help but exclaim. Although there were some parts of this Japanese team that were rubbish and full of flaws, there were also some parts that were worth learning.
If China could establish such a complete university competition system, with the population of China, a large number of talented people would definitely emerge, and football would not always be a pain for the fans.
Could it be that the 1.4 billion people of China really couldn't choose eleven people to play football?
He did not believe it!
It was just that many talented people did not realize their talent at all. Similarly, it was also a big problem in terms of the system.
Just as he was digesting the knowledge he had just obtained, the door of the electric car suddenly opened, and a large group of women rushed in, chatting and laughing. The already crowded car became even more compact.
