Chapter 49: Your Future, in Seoul
At half past six in the evening, not many people will eat in the cafeteria at this point in time, it stands to reason that the uncles in the cafeteria have gone home from work at this time in the past, but today they can only stand at the window helplessly, looking at the two people sitting in the southwest corner of the first floor of the canteen, oh no, there should be only one person left now, still leisurely and leisurely picking up the meal.
Li Kong was now very embarrassed to sit in his seat and watch Ji Lie slowly deal with the plate of fried rice in front of him.
Because of the rules of the youth training base, the uncles on the first floor of the canteen can't get off work when there are still people eating on the first floor, even though Li Kong is now facing away from those dinner windows, but he always feels that the resentful eyes of those uncles sweep his back from time to time, making him very uncomfortable.
Turning back apologetically again to the uncles standing at the window with their hands folded and begging for understanding, Li Kong turned his head helplessly and said to Chi Lie, who was "counting rice grains": "Uncle Chi Lie, I have been eating the same plate of rice for so long, please, the staff of the canteen also have to go home from work to accompany their families, okay? Is it really good for us to delay other people's time like this?"
As if he hadn't heard Li Kong speak, Chi Lie slowly took a few more bites of rice, then unscrewed the mineral water on the side of the rice plate and poured it out, then stood up, and muttered as he walked out of the canteen: "How can we old people compare with you young men, eating is easier to digest by chewing and swallowing slowly~"
Li Kong saw that Chi Lie had finally eaten, so he breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and bowed slightly to the uncles in the cafeteria again: "I'm really sorry to cause you trouble." β
His personality is like this, he doesn't like to trouble people.
After saying that, he hurriedly followed Chi Lie and walked out of the cafeteria with him.
Chi Lie hiccuped, tilted his head to look at Li Kong, who was looking at him with some "resentment" at the moment, he smiled and teased: "What, what kind of eyes do you kid have! Are you still angry that I just made a joke about you?"
Li Kong heard Chi Lie's ridiculous tone, he shook his head with a wry smile: "Ah Niyo, I can't thank you uncle, how can you 'dare' be angry with you?"
"Tsk, there is a thorn in your kid's words, hahaha, you will have more time to meet me in the future, your attitude is not good~"
As soon as Li Kong heard Chi Lie's words, he quickly retracted the expression on his face, bowed and saluted solemnly: "Inside, I know, thank you very much Uncle Chi Lie for taking care of me, in the future, you let me go east, I will never go west, you let me climb the pole, I will never go to the ground, you let me stand, I will never squat, you ......"
"Stop, stop, stop, you kid learned all this nonsense, stand up for me and talk well, no jokes, and then get down to business. β
Chi Lie was amused by Li Kong's words, he laughed and scolded and knocked Li Kong's head, then walked to the bench outside the cafeteria and sat down, motioning for Li Kong to sit next to him.
I saw him take out a pack of cigarettes from his arms, take out a familiar one, and after holding the cigarette holder in his mouth, he didn't smoke much, but he opened his mouth and said to Li Kong: "Next, it stands to reason that I shouldn't tell you, but in order to make you mentally prepared for the future, I also want you to think about whether you want to enter our club, so I'll tell you something first, listen, boy." β
After saying that, Ji Yeol took a hard puff of cigarette, and after a few seconds, he spit out a big smoke ring from his mouth: "Our club was originally established in Seoul, but due to some policy reasons, our club was later relocated to Anyang City. β
Ji Lie paused at this point, probably organizing the language, and then he continued: "It's just that since winning the league championship of the K League in 1990, it has been ten years, and we only won the league championship in 2000, and we won the league runner-up in 2001, although the interval between these two championships is a little long, but in the past two years, the team's results are not bad, but the bad thing is that Suwon Samsung defended the Asian Club Cup championship the year before and last year!"
Li Kong was a little puzzled, he knew that Suwon Samsung won the AFC Champions League in 01 and 02, but what does this have to do with his future?
Chi Lie looked at Li Kong's confused appearance, and grinned: "Boy, you don't understand, do you? Do you know what the full name of our club is? LG Anyang Cheetah! The top of our team is LG Group, what is the relationship between LG Group and Samsung Group, you kid always know, right?"
Speaking of this, Ji Yeol smiled contemptuously again: "The relationship between us and Suwon Samsung Club, to put it bluntly, is just a face contest between those 'big shots' at the bottom, and those 'leaders' don't understand the construction and operation of a team at all, they see that their faces have been beaten and they have lost face, so they directly ordered to compete with others for the AFC Champions League and the league, but if they want to win a championship, they can just talk about it?"
After Chi Lie smoked the cigarette, he threw the cigarette butt to the ground, and gently crushed it with his foot a few times, then he looked at Li Kong's eyes and continued with a serious face: "The failure to win the championship in the past few years is for those." The big guys reminded us that the championship is not something they can smash with money, so several coaches of the club wrote a plan to the boss last year, and the boss finally agreed, the plan is simple: in the next three years, the club will increase the development of youth players, and at the same time will not change the strategy of continuing to buy famous players in the transfer market, if we have not won the league or the AFC Champions League in three years, then this plan will be stopped, if we regain one of the two titles, then this plan will be used as the team's building policyοΌβ
After saying these contents in one breath, Ji Lie smiled bitterly and continued: "It's child's play, isn't it? The idea of building a professional team should be formulated according to the needs of those 'big shots' above, but we have no other way, LG Group is giving blood to the team every year to maintain the competitiveness and good operation of the club, so we can't help but listen to the opinions of the 'bosses'!"
However, as if he had thought of something again, Ji Lie's twisted face showed a relaxed smile again: "But I have to say that if this plan is successful, then we will establish a good youth training system in the next few years, so that even if we lose the blood transfusion and support of LG Group in the future, we can also select talents from the youth training echelons at all levels and send them to the first team." β
Li Kong nodded as if he didn't understand, he probably understood what Chi Lie said, putting aside the private face dispute between LG and Samsung Group, just from the perspective of the development trend of the Anyang Cheetah Club in the next few years, it is necessary for them to pour resources into youth training, so after joining the Anyang Cheetah Club, they will get more and better quality youth training, which is probably what it means.
But then Chi Lie's words made him stunned directly, compared with the "Youth Training Plan" of the Anyang Cheetah Club, his inference was really too cautious and his vision was too limited!
I only heard Chi Lie say slowly in a tone like a big bad wolf tempting Little Red Riding Hood: "But the first" three-year youth training plan " In the autumn of 2004, that is, in September next year, these players will be sent to PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands for a year and a half of youth training, during which the players who do not perform well will be sent back to South Korea, and if all the players are not qualified, then our youth training cooperation with PSV Eindhoven will be over. β
Li Kong actually couldn't hear what Chi Lie said at the moment, and his mind was full of thoughts of "maybe going to PSV Eindhoven for youth training".
What is the level of youth training at PSV Eindhoven?
Although when it comes to the youth training in the Netherlands, the first thing that comes to people's minds must be Ajax's youth academy in Europe, but Eindhoven and Ajax and Feyenoord are known as the three giants of the Eredivisie, and its youth training level is definitely in the first class in Europe, and the Eredivisie team is famous in Europe for cultivating young players, so it is conceivable that he can go to Eindhoven to receive youth training for Li Kong's temptation.
"Your, you mean, I probably want to go to PSV Eindhoven for youth training?"
Li Kong's voice became a little stammered under the excitement for a while, and his tone was still a little hurried, and he couldn't hear Chi Lie crying and laughing.
After quickly reaching out and pressing the shoulders of the excited young man to signal him to calm down, Chi Lie said again: " So, if I recommend you to the club this time, you will definitely go to the Netherlands, to be honest, boy, I still can't understand why you have never received professional football youth training your basic skills and game reading ability are so mature, personal ability is also so strong, I can't guarantee that with your current strength, you will be successful in staying in Eindhoven to complete the one-and-a-half-year youth training, but join our club, you will get good youth training resources at least in the next three years, I have explained all the things that should be explained to you clearly, Li Kong, believe meYour future is in LG Anyang Club, in Seoul! As long as you keep working hard, you will have a bright future. β
After speaking, Chi Lie leaned back on the bench and looked at Li Kong playfully: "I've finished what I need to say, so, are you ready for your bright future, boy?"
Li Kong looked at Chi Lie with some trembling and nodded, at this moment he had only one thought in his heart: "You must go to LG to raise cheetahs, and you must go to Eindhoven Club to receive youth training!
