Entering June, students are about to usher in the long-awaited summer vacation, and the graduating class is in full swing preparing for the exam.

The students in the Chinatown Youth Training Center in Daxing District, south of Beijing, will also usher in a big test, but it has nothing to do with their studies, even if they are students in the graduating class of primary school, they can directly enter a prestigious junior high school nearby after graduation, and they don't need to worry about where they go after graduation.

The big test they are really looking forward to is the first Audi Cup Youth Football Invitational in early July.

In order to prepare for this cup competition, they specially invited the youth team from Beijing to China Town to play a warm-up match during the weekend.

The game was very intense, and the players in China City were young, at most thirteen years old, while the Beijing youth team was mostly around fifteen years old, and they had an absolute advantage in terms of physical fitness and strength.

What is surprising is that the Beijing team, which was supposed to crush the opponent with the advantage of age, was played around by the young players in Chinatown on the court, and was confused by their passing and receiving cooperation like threading a needle.

The score on the pitch is also getting bigger and bigger, especially in the second half, the performance of the Beijing team has plummeted, if it is not for the continuous substitutions of China Town in the final stage, slowing down the offensive, maybe in the end can play a double-digit goal.

The final score was eight to one, and Chinatown was younger, but the performance was even better.

……

"I don't know how these kids trained, they played so well. ”

"Isn't it? With their level, pick out any one and put it in other professional teams in China, they are all genius-level, and the future of this group of children is limitless. ”

"Needless to say, can the players selected by Gao Han be poor? Besides, they have always been training at the most advanced level of football in Europe in Chinatown, and it is normal to have such a level, but the children of the Beijing team are ......."

"I'm starting to believe a little bit now why Chinatown has the courage to bring in the best foreign youth team to play in the invitational tournament, at this level, it must be played. ”

"Not necessarily, I went to Madrid to see the training at the Madrid Center in Chinatown, and the children there are also very good, and I feel better than the group of children at the Beijing Youth Training Center. ”

"That's natural, Madrid's Chinatown is the best youth team in the world, how many talents have gathered. ”

"If the children in the youth academy of professional teams can have the level of Chinatown, there is hope for Chinese football. ”

"Don't overthink it, let's come back to the invitational then. ”

……

Gao Han stood in the crowd, silently listening to the discussions of many fans around him, but his heart was mixed.

According to his observations, this group of children in Beijing Chinatown is indeed inferior to Madrid as a whole, after all, the foundation is there, and it will be difficult to catch up for a while and a half, but there are also a few who perform very well, such as Wang Lei in the midfield, this rich second generation is the most active on the field, and he is also the captain of the team, and his footwork is quite good.

There is also the Zhao Jun on the front line, I haven't seen him for a while, he has grown very fast, and the whole person looks very strong, but the result seems to be more flexible, and if he continues like this, I am afraid it will affect his development on the front line.

Young players are like that, full of unknowns.

If Zhao Jun is the pillar of the front, then Gao Ren is the assassin who cruises around Zhao Junsi, fast, very delicate under his feet, and very sensitive sense of smell, he can always seize the fighter first, five of the eight goals are scored by him, and his personal ability can be described as standing out, but his body is a little thinner.

Gao Han is still very satisfied with the progress of this group of children, and if they continue to develop like this, over time, they will definitely have the opportunity to gain a foothold in the top European leagues and even play in the big teams.

…………

…………

After watching the game, Gao Han quietly withdrew from the court and went directly to the locker room to visit.

At this time, the young players also returned to the locker room one after another, discussing noisily everything that happened on the field just now, such as who was blocked and who was playing oxtail and messed up, etc., laughing constantly.

It was Roberto Samaden, the head of youth training and head coach who opened the door for Gao Han, and was taken aback to see Gao Han suddenly appear.

And the players in the locker room were also very excited to see Gao Han, and they all surrounded him.

"Boss!"

This group of children is just like Gao Han's players, they also learn to be called the boss, and they are like the underworld.

"I just watched your performance, and it's not bad, so there's a gift. ”

Gao Han raised the gift bag in his hand, and the players were dumbfounded, great!

"Now, Wang Lei, this is what you want, Kaka's signature jersey. ”

As soon as Gao Han said this, Wang Lei's eyes straightened, this is the baby he dreamed of, the last time I saw Gao Han, I begged for a long time and didn't get it, but I didn't expect it to suddenly arrive now.

"Remember to put it away, this is the name he wore in the Champions League final, and he signed it after washing. ”

When Wang Lei heard this, the whole person jumped up, "Great, thank you, boss." ”

"And your, Gao Ren, Messi's signature jersey. ”

As soon as Gao Han took out the jersey in the plastic bag, Xiao Gaoren also opened his mouth wide, "It's also worn in the Champions League final?"

"The name signed after washing and drying, it is very valuable, and I can't buy it for any amount of money outside, so I put it away. ”

Gao Ren was like catching a baby, he copied the jersey and hugged it in his arms.

"Zhao Jun, the Ibrahimovic shirt you want, the absolute real version of the Champions League final, you see, the ripped place here is the best proof, but that guy's signature is really ugly. ”

said so, but Zhao Jun simply regarded this as a treasure, and thanked him vigorously.

It was also after getting closer that Gao Han realized that Zhao Jun's height was about to catch up with him, this kid was only thirteen years old, if he continued to grow like this, maybe he could really grow to Ibrahimovic's head, and at that time, would he still be suitable for playing as a striker?

You know, a player of Ibrahimovic's type is really quite rare.

If Zhao Jun really grows so tall in the future, but it turns out to be thick and hard with a body full of meat, then ......

Gao Han couldn't imagine that scene.

Before the Champions League final, during an online chat, Gao Han promised to give each of them a gift after the game, so many of them asked to get the superstars' signed jerseys, so after the final, Gao Han became a shirt collector sadly, which made the players of both teams very worried about Gao Han's special habits, and it took a long time to explain it clearly.

After giving the gift, Gao Han was also very pleased to look at the group of children in front of him, these people were his hope.

"I watched your performance in the game you just played against the Beijing team, it was very good, but there are still a lot of gaps with the European teams, so you must continue to work hard and never be complacent, otherwise, the invitational tournament will teach you a painful lesson. Gao Han admonished solemnly.

Young people are a little arrogant, which is inevitable, so Gao Han feels that they should compete more with strong teams.

It is better to play with a strong European team and be abused, and objectively feel the gap between themselves and the high-level teams in Europe, which will help them recognize themselves clearly and recognize the gap, which will be more beneficial to their future growth.

…………

…………

"This time, the teams from Europe are basically thirteen or fourteen years old, a little older than us. ”

After leaving the locker room, Roberto Samadan accompanied Gao Han all the way to the direction of the office, and said without worry.

Gao Han nodded, he knew, "Don't worry, the invitational tournament focuses on participation and communication, you look at them, playing with the youth training of domestic professional teams, it is seven or eight goals casually, do you think this is worth exercising for them?"

The Beijing team is already fifteen years old today, two years older than Chinatown, but the result is still abused, which shows that Chinatown's youth training is indeed relatively successful, but it also reflects the poor youth training of domestic teams.

"To be honest, in my own judgment, if we were a team in Europe, we wouldn't be the best among our peers, but we would certainly be quite good, and there will definitely be a lot of people in their group who will be able to establish themselves in the top flight and make a difference. ”

Roberto Samaden said confidently.

Gao Han also agrees with his judgment, "The domestic youth training is sluggish, so we have to bring it in, and we must go out and communicate and compete with the highest level teams abroad, so that we can improve ourselves, and it is also good for players to go abroad in the future. ”

Roberto Samadon agrees with Gao Han's words, even if he is abused, he must play with high-level European teams, which is his consistent view.

Therefore, according to the arrangement of Chinatown, this year is to bring in, and next year it will go out to the Chinatown Youth Training Center in Madrid to compete, and some youth teams from European powerhouses will also be invited to participate.

In addition to the Chinatown youth team from Beijing, there is also a Chinatown youth team from Madrid participating in this event this year, which is the first competition between the two Chinatown youth teams, which makes everyone look forward to it.

Also competing in the tournament are the youth teams of six professional teams from Europe and South America, including Barcelona, Arsenal, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan and Santos from Brazil.

The cup competition system adopts the traditional group stage and knockout stage combination of the competition system, the eight teams are divided into two groups for a single round-robin competition, the top two teams in the group enter the knockout round, and finally determine the champion, runner-up and three or four places, and set up team awards and individual awards.

European teams attach great importance to the development of the Chinese market, and are also very interested in arranging for youth teams to play invitational tournaments in China, especially against the youth teams in Chinatown.

The team was very interested, and so were the sponsors, with Audi beating out several other competitors to win the title of title sponsor, while the main sponsor was won by Anta, a well-known domestic sports brand, which was also a test for the well-known domestic sports brand in the football field.

At present, they are also negotiating more in-depth cooperation with Chinatown, including the development of young players, coach training and the organization of domestic and foreign competitions, and they have a very strong interest.

With the two major sponsors of Audi and Anta, as well as other investment invitations, Chinatown's investment in this invitational tournament is within an acceptable range, so Gao Han will decide to continue to hold the second edition in Madrid next year.

If all conditions allow, he also hopes to make this tournament a fixed event, held in June and July every year, and the venue will alternate between China and Europe, so as to give the players in Chinatown a chance to exchange with the outside world.
