In the next few days, the negotiations between the Prato club and the Chinese Football Association can be described as friendly and warm, and the establishment of the Jianlibao team and the dispatch of outstanding football seedlings to study abroad are things that Vice President Li Tieying personally pays attention to, and it can be said that it is a political task. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 From the perspective of the Chinese Football Association, which has been desperate for this, the Prato club is tantamount to a beacon of bitterness. Coupled with Chen Lin's promise that the Prato club is willing to take the initiative to help the Jianlibao team rent a dormitory, contact the practice team, hire a high-level Italian coach, etc., it makes the Chinese Football Association feel like a pillow when it falls asleep.

So when Chen Lin finally proposed that among the 22 Jianlibao junior teams participating in the final training in Italy, the Prato club had the right to sign them first, the Chinese Football Association officials agreed with little resistance. At this time, Chinese football is very weak to the outside world, in their opinion, this is normal, people pay money and efforts to help you train players, it is impossible to get nothing, not to mention that there are Italian clubs can look at young Chinese players, in this era is completely a matter of glory for the country. In their opinion, as long as these young players can play out, learn advanced football skills, and lead China out of Asia, then it is their political achievements, as for whether they play for domestic clubs or foreign clubs, they don't care, at least before the start of China's professional league, as long as these young players don't change their nationality. Now the main pressure of the Chinese Football Association is to "break out of Asia".

To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the Chinese Football Association, which has not yet begun to implement professionalism, the concept of the value of players is vague, and there is no concept of property rights. Historically, Jianlibao spent 9 million yuan in five years from 1993 to 1998 to train the "Jianlibao team", economically. As a result, it is just to let football lovers across the country know that Jianlibao has sent batches of players out for China's football career. Although this of course also includes an advertising effect, Jianlibao is definitely a mess on the account. After the members of the Jianlibao Junior Team returned to China, they were "carved up" by various clubs, and the attempt of the "Jianlibao Junior Team" became a stupid thing to "make clothes for others". The direct result of this situation is "unclear property rights". The "Jianlibao Youth Team" sent abroad at that time came from different sports teams, sports schools and clubs in all regions of the country. What Jianlibao does is to pay for them to be sent abroad after selection. As a result, under the condition that the "property rights" of the "seedlings" are not their own, Jianlibao can only hand over the fruits he grows to others in vain. In layman's terms, Jianlibao did a "commissioned training" but did not receive a penny.

In order not to make historical mistakes, Chen Lin in the final contract signed with the Chinese Football Association stipulates the form of cooperation between the two sides, Prato Club will sign a 5-year youth training contract with each teenager of the Jianlibao Youth Team finally to Italy, and the Prato Club is solely responsible for the living, studying, training and competition expenses of these teenagers in Italy, and the Prato Club will make detailed commitments on the level of living and learning conditions, training time, and the density of the game, and the Chinese side can send personnel to accompany and supervise. The Prato Youth Team will also be renamed "Prato Jianlibao Youth Team". The 900 yuan originally planned to be contributed by GD Jianlibao Group will be paid to the Prato Club in batches as the title sponsorship of the "Prato Jianlibao Youth Team".

In this warm and friendly atmosphere, Chen Lin put forward one more thing. This time I returned to China, in addition to planning the Jianlibao junior team, there is another thing for the three foreign aid places that have been vacant in the Prato club.

"In addition to young players, my club also wants to introduce several mature and high-tech players from China, I wonder if I can get the consent of your Football Association?"

Different from the atmosphere of cooking oil on the fire, as soon as Chen Lin's words came out, the venue suddenly seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water, and it suddenly quieted down. However, the officials of the Football Association immediately realized that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, and immediately the Secretary-General Wang Junsheng answered: "Chairman Chen, I won't tell you that due to institutional reasons, most of the adult players in China belong to the national cadre career establishment, and some are even soldiers, and most of their working relationships are in the provincial and municipal sports general administrations. "At this time, the power of the Chinese Football Association was far less than that after professionalization, the Chinese Football Association at that time held the distribution of interests in the league, and whoever offended him was unable to get along with money.

Finally, in order not to offend the Prato club, which has just established a good relationship, the Chinese Football Association offered to send staff to help the Prato club contact the provincial sports training teams and players for communication.

Having received the promise of the Chinese Football Association, Chen Lin embarked on the road of finding Chinese foreign aid with great interest. He had already set a goal in his mind.

Prato's reinforcements this season are mainly focused on the backline, before coming to China, the domestic transfer is basically completed, and Materazzi, who is eager to prove himself to his father, cherishes the invitation of any professional team, and he now only has a non-professional contract, Prato does not even need to pay a transfer fee for him; The same can be said of Gianni Keida, who prefers to play for his hometown team, but he is clearly not a youth star in the midfield position, and Sola is reluctant to pay him a high salary, so the sincere Prato preemptively signed him to a professional contract for a symbolic £5,000 training fee. The two of them, together with the introduction of the future international Toldo, left-back Pexotto, and the team's old captain, right-back Piertini, this season Prato's backline is unprecedentedly strong, only need to find another central defender to partner with Materazzi, the original team's three central defenders as substitutes are still possible.

In midfield, Cristiano on the right. Doni has successfully signed Prato for £20,000 and remains vacant on the left. In addition, the forward line has not been strengthened. So Chen Lin's goal is a defender, a striker, and a left-sided midfielder.

It just so happens that two of the best Chinese youth players in this era happen to be a centre-back and a striker.
