日前意大利国际青少年杯赛(SIGISMONDI Cup)(俗称“小世界杯”)中，12岁中国足球小将孟新艺以点球助力团队夺冠，他的标志性空翻动作走红网络。14日，南京“空翻哥”孟新艺从罗马乘机返回母校——南京市鼓楼区第一中心小学，进行“老带新”示范教学。练球4年、征战过世界多个国家的青少年球赛，孟新艺告诉中新网记者，希望自己有朝一日跨进世界杯赛场。

武术转足球：结交玩伴 看中队友感情

孟新艺的父亲孟庆华早年练习武术，他给两个儿子都报了武术班，结果小儿子孟新艺从中找到了感觉。练了一年武术，孟新艺在小学一年级时，向父亲提出“想踢足球”。

“足球很有意思，我更喜欢团队精神，在乎队友感情，喜欢在球场上拼命的人。”孟新艺理解中的队友感情，是“小孩哥”们在绿茵场上的关键时刻互相解围、伸出援手。

转到足球队之前，孟新艺从未看过足球比赛。从武术跨行足球，最初一周3练，后来每天训练1.5个小时至2个小时、一周6练、一年训练300天以上。他对高强度训练“感觉还行”，“武术是练蹲马步、下胯、拉韧带，能吃得了武术的苦，就能吃得了足球的苦”。

他认为，足球和武术最大的不同在于，足球是集体运动，更考验每个队员技巧的叠加、团队配合的智慧。踢球后，他结识了很多好朋友，比如队友卞清尧。在南京市鼓楼区第一中心小学足球荣誉室，他指着墙上的大大小小的奖杯说，“我们一起打过很多硬仗，上面的奖杯就是证明。”

队友之间也闹过小矛盾，比如玩《实况足球》手游时大家会争第一。“我和队友即便闹矛盾，赌气不传球的情况绝不会出现。因为我们有共识，分得清场上、场下有别，团结是第一位。”

胜负观：喜欢挑战 每粒输球都刻在脑子里

“就像喜欢做数学试卷最后大题一样，我喜欢有难度的挑战。”孟新艺告诉记者，虽然没有拿小本本记录，但每场失利、每粒输球都刻在他脑子里。

Meng Xinyi's most regrettable game was against the Taicang High-tech Zone Second Primary School Baichuan Yuanyuan Football Team. The opponent was very strong, and he missed a good opportunity. The most difficult game was not the final of the Italian International Youth Cup, but the match against Yancheng Dongtai team in the 2026 "Governor's Cup" Jiangsu Youth Campus Football League (i.e., "Su Xiaochao"). "I want to collapse when I think about it." At that time, as a core player, he was attacked from front and back and surrounded from left and right on the field. Seeing the opponent rushing towards him, he seized the loophole in the opponent's offense and defense, passed the ball to his teammate, and completed the team's lore.

After winning the championship in Italy, he immediately called and WeChated Liang Tian, the football coach of Nanjing Gulou District First Central Primary School, and used the bonus to buy cosmetics for his mother and toys for his brother, releasing his excitement.

Big Goal: Have a Star Idol, Hope to Represent China in the World Cup

Back in Nanjing, Meng Xinyi hasn't had time to watch the World Cup. He has 3 idols: Olise, Mbappé, and Ibrahimović. "Because my playing style is somewhat similar to theirs, I want to learn more advanced knowledge from world-class star players that can be used directly on the field."

Young and ambitious, Meng Xinyi told reporters that after 4 years of playing football, his goal has always been the same: to enter the Chinese national team one day and represent China in the World Cup.

The big goal is divided into many small goals. Although training takes up a lot of time, Meng Xinyi completes his homework in his spare time before playing football every day, maintaining his academic performance in the upper-middle level of the class, with scores around 85 in all subjects, and he prefers mathematics and English.

Mathematics helps him a lot in understanding tactics on the field. "I like solving difficult math problems – difficult problems make people calm down and think, and solving them gives a sense of accomplishment." Meng Xinyi recalled that in a free kick during a game, he mentally mapped out the running lines around the wall, the shooting angle, and the power of the shot.

About to enter the first year of junior high school, the academic difficulty will further increase. Meng Xinyi said that he will study hard and build up his knowledge reserve, for example, facing international competitions, he needs to continuously improve his foreign language skills. "The attitude towards learning and training determines everything. I wish for academic success and a further improvement in my ball skills in the new semester," he said. (End)

大目标：有球星偶像 望代表中国队打进世界杯

回到南京，孟新艺还没来得及观看世界杯比赛。他有3个偶像，分别是奥利塞、姆巴佩、伊布。“因为自己踢球的风格和他们有些相似，所以想从世界明星球员身上学到更多进阶知识，赛场上可以直接用。”

少年意气，壮志凌云。孟新艺告诉记者，练足球4年，自己的目标始终如一：有朝一日进入中国国家队，代表中国站在世界杯赛场上。

大目标被切割成很多小目标。虽然训练占用了大量时间，孟新艺会在每天踢球前见缝插针把作业完成，课业成绩保持在班级中上等，各门功课成绩在85分左右，更喜欢数学、英语学科。

数学对他理解球场上的技战术有很大帮助。“我喜欢解数学难题——难题让人静下来思考，做出来很有成就感。”孟新艺记得，一次比赛中的任意球，他脑子里映射出绕开人墙的跑位线路、射门角度、进球力度等。

即将进入初一，课业难度将进一步增大。孟新艺表示将好好学习，做好知识储备，例如面对国际赛事，需要不断提升外语水平。“学习、训练的态度决定一切，许愿在新学期学业顺利，球技再上台阶”，他说。(完)
