Chapter 17 Evergrande, I'm coming

Three days later, Chen Long and his four children accompanied Li Yi to make a train together, and finally set off, accompanied by Dong Hao, counting it, Dong Hao has not been back to football school for a long time, this time, he also went back to see, in addition, he still needs to do one thing.

The first time he took the train, Chen Long still felt quite curious, along the way, he looked left and right.

Growing up so big and leaving his parents for the first time is unacceptable and reluctant for Chen Long, but for the sake of his dream, he keeps telling himself that he must persevere, although he is only 11 years old.

What Chen Long didn't expect was that he didn't come back until many years later, and when he came back again, his identity had already changed drastically.

Along the way, Dong Hao carefully told Li Yi about Chen Long's various training processes in the past four years, and with Dong Hao's continuous explanation, Li Yi gradually had a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of Chen Long, and at the same time, he also found that before this, he still underestimated Chen Long.

Dong Hao's personality Li Yi still knows better, the two of them have been good friends for many years, so many years, Li Yi has never seen Dong Hao appreciate a child who is only 11 years old so much.

Speaking of which, the two also used to be teammates when they were players, and Dong Hao's football talent Li Yi knows that if he hadn't lost to the system, Dong Hao's achievements would have been even greater.

And now, even Dong Hao was impressed by Chen Long's talent and praised him.

Therefore, he had reason to believe that Chen Long was even better than he imagined, and he couldn't help but look forward to Chen Long's future performance.

In fact, Li Yi is under a lot of pressure, although in recent years, the club has achieved extremely good results in both the domestic and international arenas.

However, almost everyone can see that the reason why the club has been so successful is because of the sky-high price of foreign players, insiders and coaches.

However, the youth training of the club itself has not achieved much success, and as the coach of the club's reserve team, he often feels ashamed even if the club's senior management does not say it.

Especially at the club's annual meeting at the beginning of this year, because in the past season, Evergrande lost the league championship of the Chinese Super League for the first time, and also went out early in the AFC Champions League, the senior management was furious.

Although there are reasons why the competitive level of the Chinese Super League has improved in recent years and other clubs in the Chinese Super League have increased their investment, we cannot ignore the reasons why the club's own strength is not crowded.

In addition, the club's senior management made it clear at the annual meeting that in the next few years, Evergrande must have its own youth training achievements to show.

As the club's reserve coach, Li Yi is tasked with scavenging talent for the first team from the club's youth training bases.

At the same time, Li Yi also understands that if he no longer has any contributions, the club will not hesitate to replace himself, and at that time, his face will be lost!

Chen Long's sudden appearance gave Li Yi a glimmer of hope, although Chen Long was only 11 years old, but he believed that as long as Chen Long could continue to have an excellent performance after arriving at the football school, he would soon be able to gain a foothold in the reserve team and make his Super League debut in the near future.

Province S is a long distance from Guangdong Province, where the Evergrande Club is located, and even if it is by high-speed rail, it will take five or six hours.

After sitting for more than four hours, when he was about to reach his destination, Dong Hao came to Chen Long's side.

"Xiaolong, you have to remember that in the training base in City A, you did perform very well, you can be said to be the first person, but in the Evergrande Football School where you are about to stay, there are many children who are about the same age as you, and they are also excellent students from all over the country, in other words, their ability is not much worse than yours, so you must continue to train hard and do not slack off."

For Chen Long, Dong Hao watched him grow up step by step, indeed, Chen Long's performance was good enough, but after all, he was only 11 years old, and he was still a child, if he didn't polish it properly, Chen Long was likely to get lost, which was not what Dong Hao wanted to see.

"Coach, I remember", although he is only 11 years old, Chen Long can hear from Dong Hao's words that Dong Hao is for his own good.

After four years of training together, whether it is Dong Hao or Chen Long, they have long regarded this time as relatives and have deep feelings.

Hearing Chen Long's answer, Dong Hao was also very comforted, Chen Long, a child, not only has extraordinary football talent, but also has a more mature mind compared with children of the same age.

To Dong Hao's surprise, during training, what Chen Long sometimes said was like what an adult said.

In fact, what Dong Hao said to Chen Long just now is a bit exaggerated, indeed, those children in Evergrande Football School are not bad, but compared with Chen Long, their football talent is a big part behind.

The reason why Dong Hao said it so seriously was that he was looking forward to Chen Long growing up quickly.

In fact, Dong Hao has a deeper purpose in his heart, this year is the World Cup year, and the World Cup will be held in Russia, but among the top 32 who have advanced to the World Cup finals, there is still no national football team.

As the former main striker of the national team, Dong Hao has an intractable plot for the national football team, which is also one of the reasons why Evergrande asked him to go out of the mountain and be responsible for the club's youth training, and he agreed.

Four years ago, he saw the figure of a superstar from Chen Long, so in the past four years, he has tried his best to cultivate Chen Long, hoping that Chen Long can grow up quickly, and one day, he can play for the national team and lead the national football team to break out of Asia and enter the World Cup finals.

In fact, in China, there are many people like Dong Hao, and they all have a deep plot for the national football team, and they are also silently contributing to the rise of the national football team.

In the past four years, Dong Hao has often imagined that one day, Chen Long can lead the national football team in the World Cup, how wonderful it would be, that is the dream of many Chinese footballers.

At this moment, sitting on the train, Long Chen's expression gradually became serious, he knew that everything Dong Hao said was for his good At the same time, he also knew what Dong Hao's wish was for many years.

During the four years of training, Dong Hao once confided to himself indirectly, saying that as a Chinese footballer in his life, his biggest regret is that he did not help the national football team reach the World Cup finals, and did not let the international world see the Chinese team in the World Cup.

"Don't worry, coach, you have trained me, I will definitely train hard, and I will help you with your unfulfilled wishes."

"Evergrande Football School, I'm Chen Long here."
