Dalian, China. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, it was during the holiday, and Wang Shihan was sitting in a café watching "Young Youth Cup". After the summer vacation, she will be promoted to the high school of Yuying Middle School, becoming a senior student, and will have more time to spend with the school football team than when she was in junior high school.

Although Zhang Shujie is no longer in the team.

The team not only left Zhang Shujie, but the two captains Liu Fang and Pan Yongcheng also graduated, Chen Zihua is the new captain, and Yan Tao is the vice captain of the team.

An Rong meant that he wanted Zhang Shujie to be the captain, but he went to Italy so soon, so he temporarily changed his attention and let Chen Zihua, who was originally scheduled to be the vice captain, take over the armband.

However, An Rong learned some of the market from the teaching office in advance, this year Yuying Middle School has a new football student, who is a striker, and his strength should not be bad, although he can't compare to Zhang Shujie, but according to An Rong's understanding, the strength is on par with Qin Yang, the first scorer of Xinguang Middle School, and the No. 9 position that replaced Zhang Shujie is barely okay.

Zhang Shujie and Li Mu's successful entry into the Parma reserve team, many people know, Yuying Middle School and Xinguang Middle School even posted this matter on the bulletin board in advance, not only that, among all the media in the country, "Youth Cup" carried out the most detailed report on these two teenagers.

This is all because editor Tang Feng loves these two very much, and when others are focusing on the national team, Tang Feng spends more time on the two. He did his best to dig up relevant information in the limited channels in China.

In the insert of "Youth Cup", Zhang Shujie and Li Mu face the camera, smiling, and the person standing between the two is Tommaso Giraldi, the president of the Parma club. On the top of the insert are several large yellow letters: Chinese teenagers have successfully signed with the Parma Academy.

Wang Shihan had a smile on his face and silently read the content of the report word by word. Tang Feng relied on the relationship of internal friends to contact Feng Kai and get this valuable information, otherwise he would not have been able to write this news.

However, Feng Kai didn't tell the two teenagers about this, he didn't want the two children to be distracted, and wanted them to train with peace of mind.

Zhou Ying walked up to Wang Shihan and sat down, and said softly, "Haven't you finished reading it yet?"

Wang Shihan said without raising his head: "I watched it for the second time." ”

"Really, it's not a novel, why do you read it so many times?"

"I like it. ”

Zhou Ying looked at Chen Zihua and Yan Tao who were sitting opposite, each of them had a copy of "Young Youth Cup", and they watched it with relish, even if the content had nothing to do with them.

After Yan Tao turned a few pages, he threw the "Young Youth Cup" in his hand and sat under his buttocks: "These two boys are really a little capable." ”

Chen Zihua also said: "But isn't it? The article said that it only took them one day to impress Giraldi and Manzo. ”

"So, we're going to have to work hard. At present, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu are leading us 1:0. ”

Zhou Ying said with a smile: "Don't think so far ahead, you can only have this opportunity if you play well in the national league." How's your foot injury?"

Chen Zihua moved his ankle: "It's just right, but you can't do strenuous exercise yet, but during the national competition qualifiers, you should be able to play." ”

Wang Shihan sighed and said with regret: "It's a pity that you two were originally selected, but they were delayed due to injury." ”

Chen Zihua smiled faintly and said, "It doesn't matter, if you can be selected for the first time, there will be a second time." Isn't China planning to cooperate with more European clubs? Maybe that's an opportunity for Yan Tao and me. ”

Yan Tao stood up and said with a smile: "It seems that this incident has given our country a lot of confidence and began to look for more partners." ”

"I was thinking that faith might be just one of them. As you know, the cooperation between China and Parma has cost a lot of money. ”

"I know, but what do you mean by that earlier sentence?"

"It means that the current situation of Chinese football has led to our country not having enough capital to negotiate conditions with Parma, so we can only use money to attack. If Zhang Shujie and Li Mu can succeed, then China will keep the price down in the subsequent cooperation, but if Parma does not agree, our country will have to find another way. ”

"The way to do this is to work with other clubs?"

"Not bad. Take Zhang Shujie and Li Mu as examples, so that more European clubs can see our high school league in China. First, it can develop the decadent Chinese football, and second, it can sign a contract for less money. ”

Yan Tao half-squinted his eyes: "How do you know? You have acquaintances in the Football Association?"

Chen Zihua shook his head and said, "How can I have any acquaintances?" This is just my speculation. Think about it, with the first success, who would be so stupid to spend the same amount of money the second time?"

"So...... It seems to make sense. ”

Zhou Ying looked at the two of them and asked, "You two, what do you think about Zhang Shujie and Li Mu entering the Parma Academy?"

Yan Tao scratched the back of his head: "Envy, but not jealous." ”

"Well, very good, I believe that as long as you work hard, it is not impossible for you to go abroad. ”

Chen Zihua lowered his head and smiled: "I really hope that one day, I can meet them in Europe." ”

Zhou Ying stretched out her hand and patted his arm: "I believe you will succeed." ”

Yan Tao shouted, "Why do you only believe him and not me?"

"Isn't it all the same? If he can be chosen, then you can. ”

"Fewer excuses. I think you're just eccentric! Zhou Ying, don't think I don't know. ”

"What do you know?"

Yan Tao smiled: "During the time when Chen Zihua was injured, you often comforted him, right?"

Zhou Ying tilted her head and said, "Chen Zihua's family is out of town, and it is inconvenient to go home after his foot injury, he is here alone, alone, as the manager of the team, isn't it normal for me to take care of him?"

"Nonsense, Chen Zihua lives in Coach An Rong's house these days. ”

"Coach An Rong is also a family man, he has to take care of his wife and children alone, and he has to take care of Chen Zihua, where can he be busy?"

"Don't say so much, you're just a thief. ”

"Nonsense. ”

Zhou Ying and Yan Tao "quarreled" fiercely, Wang Shihan watched the excitement on the sidelines, but Chen Zihua pretended not to hear what the two said.

To be fair, it is not surprising that Zhou Ying helped An Rong take care of an out-of-town player, but in the past month and a half, she and Chen Zihua have indeed gotten closer. Look at Chen Zihua's injury, if it weren't for Zhou Ying, he would definitely not have recovered so quickly.

These two guys...... So Kumakui...... Xiong Kui's crush on Zhou Ying is only known to two people, one is Zhang Shujie, the other is Wang Shihan, Chen Zihua and Yan Tao don't know, and Zhou Ying herself is also kept in the dark.

Wang Shihan suddenly felt that Xiong Kui was so pitiful.

Parma, Italy.

The first round of competition in the Fachetti league has begun, with the 42 Under-19 teams in Serie A and Serie B divided into three zones, with a home-and-away round-robin format to determine the standings of each division, with the top two teams from each zone and the two best third-placed teams competing in a knockout round to determine the winners.

The biggest difference between Facchetti and other leagues is that there is no relegation system, and even if the first team is unfortunately relegated to the lower leagues, these Under-19 children continue to play in their own competitions.

Parma's youth team hosted Bologna in the first round, and Zhang Shujie and Li Mu did not get a chance to play, sitting on the bench for a full 90 minutes.

The two teenagers surprised Manzo on the day of the trial, but Manzo wasn't going to take the liberty of sending them on just because they used a 'Marseille slalom' or a 'pendulum dribble'. The official competition is not a trial, and you can't play it with technology alone, otherwise why would Parma bother so much about doing any trials, and go directly to the streets of Brazil to find a few street teenagers, and the skills are not picky.

There is a more important reason, that is, the two of them have too little time to run in with their teammates, and they are not very familiar with each other.

However, there are not many reporters and fans in this youth team, and Manzo's wishful thinking is also wrong. At this scale, it is not much bigger than the Chinese high school league, and these two Chinese teenagers did not feel much shock.

They can only wait for their chance.

The match ended in a 2-2 draw, and coach Manzo was very unhappy with the result. No win on their own home turf would not be happy for any manager.

What made him even more angry was that the team took the lead twice and was equalised twice by their opponents. And Bologna were sent off in the last 20 minutes of the game! Parma were still leading 2-1 at the time, but they were unable to defend against Bologna, who had only 10 men, and were scored in stoppage time.

After the game, Zhang Shujie and Li Mu returned to the players' dormitory. Feng Kai wanted the two to live at his house before, but head coach Manzo did not agree.

There were three people living in their dormitory, and in addition to them, there was also a black teenager. It's just that the boy hasn't come back yet, and he's not in the dormitory.

Zhang Shujie sat on the edge of the bed and glanced at Li Mu: "Papaya, how are you feeling today?"

Li Mu smiled helplessly: "I haven't played, how can I feel?"

Zhang Shujie let out a long sigh and said, "I think, how can this U19 game be similar to the high school league we participate in? From the stadium, to the reporters, to the fans, there is no big difference! It's just that they are more professional." ”

Li Mu thought about it and nodded: "Extrapolate carefully, there are still differences. Europe has a whole training system, but we are purely amateurs. As long as they do well, they have the possibility of being promoted to the first team, but what about us? Most people go back to the life of an ordinary person after playing football in their school days. There are also many people who have to give up football due to the pressure of their studies. ”

"This is also the current situation of Chinese football. I've said before that there is no shortage of good players in China, but because of the country's institutional problems, they can only be confined to the country and consume their talent. ”

"Blindly focus on test scores, and everything depends on scores. How many parents are willing to let their children give up their studies to play football? This bet is too big, no one dares to gamble! Jie Zai, the two of us are really just two lucky people, and we have relatives and friends around us who support us. ”

Zhang Shujie listened and walked to the window, looked out the window, and said: "Last year in Yuying Middle School, my homeroom teacher strongly opposed me playing football! He said and turned to look at Li Mu: "I am very grateful to my father, he has never objected to me when I play football." Without his support, I would not have been able to come to Italy. ”

"So we have to cherish the opportunity in front of us. ”

"Think about our neighbour Japan, I don't have a lot of affection for this country, but when it comes to football, we are really not as good as them. ”

Li Mu sighed slightly, and agreed with Zhang Shujie's words with silence.

Many years ago, a certain Chinese leader said, "Football starts with a baby." But it was not China that was the first to do this, but Japan.

As early as 1917, at the Third Far Eastern Games, the Japanese team lost 0:5 to China in the first game, and then lost to the Philippines by an even more astonishing 2:15! This was also the most disparity in the score and the most painful defeat in the history of Japanese football.

However, Japanese football did not rest on its laurels, and after 12 years, they made a comeback and won the 8th Far Eastern Games. At the 1936 Berlin Olympics, the Japanese team defeated the then powerful Swedish team and staged the "Berlin Miracle"! This was the first time that Asian football defeated a European team. The victory strengthened the confidence of the Japanese and pointed out a path for the backward football.

The road was not all smooth sailing, and they had many setbacks before popularizing and promoting football in all aspects of the country. The 70s and 80s were the trough period of Japanese football, especially in the 80s, the Japanese team was never the opponent of the Chinese team, and it was difficult to win against the Chinese team.

In the nineties, Japanese football began to take off. The year 1992 was a watershed year for Japanese football, and in that year, Japanese football failed to qualify for the Olympic Games, which directly led to the dismantling of the "Yokoyama system". It was also in this year that the Japan Football Association began to carry out important reforms, implementing the "professionalization of coaches", synchronized with the players, and hired foreign coaches, a move that shook the Japanese football world, and the monthly magazine "Japan Football" called it "the Meiji Restoration of Japanese football".

Since then, Japanese football has triumphed. and made his debut in the World Cup in 1998, scoring a goal. In the 2002 World Cup between South Korea and Japan, the Japanese team, as the host, even broke into the round of 16! In the same year, the Chinese team participated in the World Cup for the first time, losing all three games in the group stage and being eliminated without scoring a single goal.

Two years later, at the Asian Cup in China, the two finalists were China and Japan. Under the watchful eyes of 1.3 billion people, the Chinese team lost to Japan 1:3 and ranked second.

Today, Japanese football is the only team in Asia capable of competing with European powerhouses, and China is completely unqualified.

Japanese football can develop to such a strong point today, indispensable to the cultivation of young people, that is, "consistent football", whether it is a professional team or an amateur team, from the age of 6-9 to implement a unified football syllabus, up to the U11, U13, U15, U18 four different stages. Their promotion of campus football is earlier and more complete than in China, and many of the well-known stars have come out of high school students.

Shinji Ono, Shunsuke Nakamura, and Hidetoshi Nakata are all stars unearthed by the high school soccer league.

And what about China? So far, there hasn't been one! Just two teenagers who are betting on their future.
