Dalian, China, a beautiful northern city that enjoys the reputation of "Football City" in China, is one of the representatives of Chinese football. Dalian has always had www.biquge.info a strong football atmosphere, especially among students, which is difficult to match in other cities in China.

Today is August 30, less than two months after the end of the World Cup in Germany, and the enthusiasm of the fans has not completely dissipated. But in China, the first day of registration has been ushered in by major universities, and many students have returned to the places where they studied, and they will continue to work campus for their future.

Yuying Middle School is a school with very strong teaching strength in Dalian, including junior high school and high school. Its high school is well-known in the country, and about 30 students are admitted to famous universities such as Tsinghua University and Peking University every year. It can be said that Yuying Middle School is a place that all students who regard learning as their life are extremely desirable.

On the school's bulletin board, a large group of newly arrived students were pointing around the bulletin board to see what new announcements were available. Most of the above content is to congratulate so-and-so on his successful admission to a well-known university, which is not much different from this time last year, but the student's name has changed.

Only the announcement in the last column published a notice that was incompatible with other contents, which said: After the school has decided to reorganize the high school football team to prepare for the national high school league.

The signature is the School Sports Office.

Regrouping? What's going on?

A very fat student looked at the bulletin board and muttered, "Didn't our school's soccer team disband last year because it couldn't play well? Why do you want to suddenly reorganize this year?"

The person next to him was estimated to be his classmate, and pouted and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know." ”

A short-haired girl said: "I changed my mind after only one year, and the school's idea is really hard for us to guess." ”

"I guess there are other plans, and the school can't do it for no reason. "Another boy is talking.

Another girl's voice came from the crowd: "The notice said that the school reorganized the school team in order to participate in the national competition." ”

A few people talked casually, and then there were more and more students watching, and there were more people discussing the matter, and various voices were mixed.

"It looks like the football fans at the school are going to get on the steam again. ”

"That's fine, the guys in our class are looking forward to the school team regrouping every day, and then they can represent the team in the national competition. ”

"As far as the skills of those people in your class are concerned, if they join the school team, they will definitely be disbanded again next year. ”

'I'm curious to see if the new team will play a better game. ”

"I don't know if those students will join the football team again this year. ”

It's no surprise that soccer is the most popular sport in the world, and there are a large number of fans in China, and there are high school football leagues in China, which have been held for many sessions, but they have not received much attention, and the country has put a lot of thought into it, and seven years ago the national high school football league was reformed for the first time.

The high school league is divided into two phases in total, which are the regional qualifiers and the national competition. The first thing to be modified is the qualifiers, and the country has been reclassified according to the level of football in different regions and cities. Cities with a high level of competition have also been divided separately, and almost the same as before, they have to compete with cities in the same region to compete for the right to qualify.

For a long time, Dalian was assigned to the Northeast Division, but the city's high school teams were too strong, and a total of 11 teams in history had entered the national competition, and six of them had won the championship, taking the lead in the country! For this reason, the state separated Dalian from the Northeast Division and listed it as a separate region for competition.

In this way, the seven regions divided by the previous qualifiers have become eight, and there is a very special Dalian area. (Since there are no teams from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan participating in the high school league, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are not included.) ）

The changes to the national stage were simple, with the addition of 24 to 32 teams. In addition to the six places occupied by the strong Dalian, the remaining seven regions will have to compete for the remaining 26 places. When the top 32 are gathered, they can go to the venue of the national competition.

The venue of the competition varies from year to year, the last one was in Nanjing, and this one is in Shanghai. Despite all the effort that the country has put into high school leagues, there has been limited attention due to the overall level of domestic football. Until the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan, the Chinese team broke into this world competition for the first time, and then won the runner-up in the Asian Cup held on home soil two years later, only to lose to Japan, the No. 1 team in Asia, which is also the best result achieved by the Chinese men's football team in the past ten years.

For this reason, Chinese football has received unprecedented attention in China, various large and small competitions are also in full swing, and newspapers and magazines related to high school leagues have also received more attention in the past two years, such as the "Youth Cup". Not only that, but if the school football team plays well, the school will also have different levels of bonuses.

Until last year, the country once again restructured the high school football league, and the previous 80-minute game was changed to 90 minutes, which is on par with professional teams. At the same time, the competition system of the qualifiers was changed to the group stage, and the qualifying teams were determined by points. Dalian's qualifying quota is still six, which remains unchanged.

In addition, there is a more important point, the former high school league was jointly sponsored by the Department of Physical Education, Health and Art Education of the Ministry of Education and the China Secondary School Sports Association, but now it is under the responsibility of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, and the task indicators are also delegated to the sports bureaus of each province and city, so it is not difficult to see how much the country now attaches importance to youth football.

But all this has nothing to do with Yuying Middle School, although this school has first-class teaching ability, but it is limited to cultural education, and is not good at sports, the junior high school is better, and occasionally it can produce some results, and the high school is simply a group of rotten wood, which is difficult to carve.

The overall strength of the high school is too poor, and some football students will not come to Yuying Middle School to study, and even the players of the junior high school of the school have gone to other schools in order to play football. In the long run, a vicious circle is formed. Although Yuying Middle School also organizes teams to participate in the competition every year, it can't even pass the qualifiers in the city, and the endless national league has become a luxury.

In this regard, the school is also a little desperate. If you can't get results by spending money, you just don't fight! If you continue to fight, it will be a waste of money. So in August last year, the school decided not to form a football team anymore, and the school team was disbanded as a result.

But why, just a year later, the school is rebuilding the team?

This group of students has been talking about the school team for a long time in front of the bulletin board. The fat boy who spoke before asked, "We've been talking for so long, and no one knows the inside story of the school team's reconstruction?"

The students looked at each other a few times, but they didn't say anything.

A tall boy who had just walked over read the announcement, listened to everyone's conversation, and said, "I know what the reason is." ”

His words attracted the attention of many classmates, and the fat man asked him: "If you want to know, just tell us about it." ”

The tall boy said: "There is a freshman in the first year of high school, who also plays football, and after he heard about the disbandment of the school football team, he didn't want to come to Yuying Middle School to study, but his father and the school's principal are very good friends, so he came up with a way to ask his father to help persuade the principal to hope that the school can reorganize the football team." ”

"Congratulations, he made it. ”

Another boy asked the tall man, "How did you know about this, this classmate, could this be you?"

The tall boy shook his head and said, "No, no, it's not me, I'm friends with one of his junior high school classmates, and the news came from my friend." ”

"Excuse me, who is this person?"

"If you've watched the junior league, you know who this person is. ”

"Brother, don't sell it, tell us quickly. ”

The tall boy smiled and said slowly: "His name is Zhang Shujie." ”

******************

Zhang Shujie has not yet come to Yuying Middle School.

He was in front of a newsstand, flipping through the "Youth Cup" in his hand, and there was a piece of news on it that interested him very much, the news said that China was trying to negotiate with a club in Serie A, and wanted the other party to dig in the Chinese high school football league to see if there was any football talent worth cultivating, and this club was the Serie A team Parma. (You may wonder why you would choose a team that is already bankrupt in the story and not choose someone else.) I'll give a detailed explanation of this reason at the end of the chapter, so I'll briefly mention it here).

As the saying goes, "the master is in the people", China does not intend to let Parma choose between professional football schools. The domestic football environment is a mess, and many people in football schools rely on relationships to get in, and there is no real material at all, compared to some ordinary high school students, so China directly puts the increasing level of the high school league on the front line!

It seems that the state has invested a lot of money in the reserve candidates for the national football team! They hope that Parma will see through the Chinese high school league the hidden football genius among the people. Compared with junior high school students, high school students are more mentally mature, more receptive, and have more age advantages than college students, and have more room for training. If someone does take a fancy to Parma, they will be eligible to go to Europe for a trial. Growing up in that environment, it's not impossible to become a part of Serie A or even a European club in the future.

This is much stronger than at home.

However, it was also said in the news that the senior management of Parma Club has not yet expressed its position, and it is estimated that it believes that the level of Chinese football is not good, so there is no reply for the time being.

After Zhang Shujie finished reading the news, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart. It is the first time in China that talents are selected in the national high school football league. Although Parma has not expressed his attitude for the time being, the person in charge of the matter in China told the world through the mouth of the media that he believes that the signing is not a big problem, and he will give an explanation to domestic fans within half a year at the earliest.

If the signing does work out in the end, then the high school league held during the winter break will have a very different meaning than it used to.

The aunt who sold magazines saw Zhang Shujie holding the book and reading it for a long time, and asked him, "Do you buy it?"

Zhang Shujie put the book back: "I don't buy it, I'll just read it casually." ”

"If you don't buy it, you can leave, don't get in the way of my business. "Auntie is very dissatisfied. If everybody stands in front of the newsstand and reads the magazine, who else is going to sell it to?

Zhang Shujie didn't care, thinking: If you don't tell me to leave, I will leave, and I still have to go to school to sign up!

The registration time is two days in total, and Zhang Shujie is not in a hurry. He went to sign up alone, without being accompanied by his parents, which is also his own request, anyway, Yuying Middle School is in the city where he lives, will he be lost?

It was still very hot in Dalian at the end of August, and he tried to walk in the shade of a tree. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves on his face, reflecting a few mottled spots.

In fact, Zhang Shujie's grades are not considered top, the reason why he was able to be admitted to Yuying Middle School is because he is a football student, and he came here with extra points in the high school entrance examination.

Recall that two months ago, in the National Junior High School Football League, he led his team to win the championship. As a striker, he also won the title of top scorer and also won the title of best striker. He also won the "Best Player" award in the final award, which drew a successful end to his football career in junior high school.

After the results of the high school entrance examination came out, he learned that he was admitted to Yuying Middle School, and at first he was hesitant to come, after all, the school had disbanded the football team last year, but his parents made him have to study in this school, saying that the teachers were strong. At the same time, his father knew the principal of Yuying Middle School, and the two had a very good relationship. So he repeatedly begged his father that it was okay to go to Yuying Middle School, but he hoped to persuade the principal to restore the school team.

His father agreed to his request, went to persuade the principal, and invited him to eat and drink, so that the principal finally reluctantly agreed and rebuilt the school team.

However, the principal has a request, that is, he must be on par with the national competition in this competition, otherwise he will fall on the threshold of the qualifiers every year, and he will not be able to get over the face of the principal. If Zhang Shujie joins, the team's record is still very poor, and next year, he will still disband the school team.

As the best player in the junior high school stage, Zhang Shujie feels that he can still do this.

He is now standing in front of the No. 1 gate of Yuying Middle School, which is also used by students in and out of the high school of the school, there are many students coming in and out at this time, tall, short, fat, thin, handsome, handsome and ugly, Zhang Shujie smiled and strode into the school gate.

It is worthy of being a middle school with first-class teachers, and just looking at this green facility is enough to make people forget to return. If these male and female students were a little more daring, holding hands and leaning shoulder-to-shoulder, it would be almost like a park for romance.

Thinking far, Zhang Shujie still has to go through the procedures for new students to enter the school. He observed all the way and asked all the way, because there were too many people, it took him more than an hour to basically get it done, and now there is only one last step left: go to the classroom to report and register in the class.

He was assigned to the seventh class of high school, and the classroom was the middle room on the fourth floor. Zhang Shujie came to the door of the classroom, and before he walked in, he saw that a group of students and parents were already surrounded near the podium.

At this time, Zhang Shujie showed his advantages as a sports enthusiast, he pushed his body forward horizontally, squeezed it, and shouted in his mouth: "I'm sorry, classmates, please let me go, thank you, thank you." ”

His body finally squeezed in after passing through the breasts and buttocks of the two girls. He saw a woman in her mid-thirties sitting at the lectern, chubby. He could easily guess that this woman should be his homeroom teacher in the future.

"Zhang Shujie?" The female teacher took the information he handed over and looked up at him.

"Yes, teacher. Zhang Shujie said. Because he didn't know what the teacher's surname was, he called him "teacher" directly. These homeroom teachers seem to have a habit of not telling students what their names are when they sign up, but only writing their names on the blackboard after the class starts.

"Football Special Admissions, um......" The female teacher seemed to be thinking about something.

"Yes. Zhang Shujie responded.

The female teacher didn't say anything more, just registered Zhang Shujie, asked him to sign after he was done, and asked him to leave his contact information for himself and his guardian.

Zhang Shujie quickly filled it out and asked, "Teacher, is there anything else?"

The female teacher was busy handling the next student, and without raising her head, she said, "No." ”

"Can I go back?"

"Yes. ”

Zhang Shujie said goodbye to the teacher and prepared to go home, to be precise, to go back to play football with his friends. Before he could take two steps, the female teacher suddenly stopped him.

"Zhang Shujie. ”

He paused and looked back and asked, "What's the matter, teacher?"

The female teacher raised her head: "Since you have come to Yuying Middle School, you will have to study hard in the future." ”

Zhang Shujie was a little confused, not understanding what she meant.

The female teacher also said: "You are a special enrollment, which means that your cultural score actually does not meet the admission line of Yuying Middle School." In the future, you'd better play less football and focus more on studying. ”

Zhang Shujie understood now and said with a smile: "I know, teacher." ”

The female teacher nodded: "It's okay, you can go back." ”

After Zhang Shujie left the classroom, he remembered what the female teacher said, shrugged his shoulders, and then walked down the teaching building.
