"Director Gao, you really deserve to be the veteran of the Provincial Football Association, this game has just begun, you have found good seedlings. The man in the suit next to him said with a smile.

The man in the suit who spoke was named Lin Sheng, the deputy director of the Heyang Sports Bureau, and the middle-aged man with a baseball cap next to him was the director of the Provincial Football Sports Management Center, named Gao Bo.

"I think this kid is really good at kicking the ball. Gao Bo smiled, and then said: "I'm ashamed to say it, even when I played for the provincial team when I was young, I couldn't play that kid's kick just now." ”

"Lao Gao, you are humble, who in our province did not know your name of 'high three feet', I also watched your game in the provincial stadium when I was young, the penalty area took the ball and stopped and then shot at the goal, nine times out of ten, the goal was scored, at that time I saw the female comrades sitting outside the field all standing and shouting your name to cheer for you, that scene, but it really made me envious for a long time. Lin Sheng said to Gao Bo with a smile.

"Hahaha, don't mention the courage of the year, I'm old now, and I can't play that kind of high-level game anymore. Gao Bo suddenly laughed heartily when he heard this.

"Yes, the glory of our generation is in the past, and now it is the world of young people. Lin Sheng paused, and then said: "Lao Gao, you came to Heyang City this time to select players to form the second provincial football team, what do you think of the players I recommended to you before?"

"Hmm. Gao Bo nodded, and then said: "I passed the examination yesterday for those players you recommended to me, and they are indeed excellent players in terms of physical fitness and technique. ”

"Hehe, those young players are the essence of our Heyang City football team, some of the players have continuously represented the city to see several provincial games, and have also won a good ranking, which is the highest level of football in the city. Lin Sheng said with a smile.

"Don't say anything, next time Director Lin comes to the provincial capital, I will invite you to Fuding Yuan, the largest halal restaurant in the provincial capital, to eat your favorite mutton shabu!" Gao Bo said, patting Lin Sheng's shoulder with his hand.

"This is good, this is good!" Lin Sheng nodded with a smile when he heard this.

"Actually, the players you recommended to me this time, I still can't recruit them into the provincial team. Gao Bo said with a deep groan.

"Why?" Lin Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and then said: "Those players are already the highest level players in Heyang City. ”

"In fact, I am responsible for the formation of the provincial football second team this time, mainly to tap young potential players and provide support and talent supplement for the provincial football first team. Gao Bo frowned, and then said: "The players you recommended to me are really good, but there are still some gaps between the level and the players of the provincial first team, and those players are generally older, some are even over thirty years old, and they have passed the golden age of football players, no matter how hard they train in the future, there is almost no potential to be tapped, so I ......"

"So you came to see this middle school football game today, just to dig out a few young players?" Lin Sheng said suddenly.

"That's right, that's what I meant. Gao Bo nodded, and then said: "Lao Lin, you also know, now the country's top level attaches great importance to the development of football, and the whole country is engaged in football." , all provinces and cities have set up a lot of professional teams, domestic football clubs have bought international foreign aid for the league, and the investment is getting bigger and bigger, but they are all face projects, and they don't pay attention to the cultivation of domestic youth foundation players, so I came this time mainly to select some young and potential players, it doesn't matter if the level is a little bit worse, as long as there is enough room for improvement!"

"You're still a practical person. ”

"Actually, I'm also selfish. Gao Bo pondered for a while and said to Lin Sheng: "We have been friends for many years, and I am not afraid to tell you the truth, some time ago, the bosses of several leading enterprises in our province once found me, saying that they wanted to set up a football club and wanted to spend a lot of money to buy some players from me, and the price was this number!"

Gao Bo said, stretching out two fingers to Lin Sheng.

"Two hundred thousand?" Lin Sheng was stunned when he heard this.

"It's two million ......," Gao Bo whispered close to Lin Sheng's ear.

"So tall!?"

"This is just the price of ordinary players, if it is the main player of the provincial team, this number will be at least two or three times doubled!" Gao Bo paused, and then said: "Of course, the players of the provincial team are currently registered with the Provincial Football Association, and the money will not go into my pocket." ”

"Then you are ......"

"That's right, some time ago, I was approached by a real estate owner in this province, who had just bought a small team that had been in the second division and hired me as the team's head coach with a high salary. ”

"But don't you have a public office now?"

"So I haven't said yes to them yet. Gao Bo pondered for a moment, and then said: "Actually, I have some savings over the years, and while I still have some energy, I want to form a team by myself and register for the professional league." ”

"So when you say you want to form a provincial football second team, you actually want to turn this second-tier team into your own team?" Lin Sheng was naturally not stupid, and immediately turned his head and said to Gao Bo with a smile.

"That's right. Gao Bo nodded, and then said: "In fact, the players of the provincial second team are mainly amateur players, they are not registered members of the Football Association, they do not have any salary, and the subsidies are pitiful. ”

"Lao Gao, we have been friends for many years, if you want to throw away the iron rice bowl and do it alone, I can help you. Lin Sheng frowned, and then said: "But I want to remind you, as far as I know, although the domestic ball market is hot now, and the league is also impressive, but this professional football club is a bottomless pit, you can't play without strong funds, and I haven't heard of any of the top league clubs in China that can make a profit now, at most, it is to help those invested companies advertise, you want to play professional football with your own money, it's difficult!

"I thought about this, but I just wanted to gamble, I had already asked the owners of several big companies to get a little sponsorship, although the money is not much, but it is enough for the team to operate for a while. Gao Bo nodded, and then said: "But if I'm lucky enough and the team I formed can rush from the second division to the middle league, then I will have the opportunity to get a steady stream of sponsorships!"
