The whole of October became Yang Chen's performance time, and he made a name for himself in Prato, at least in this city of less than 200,000 people, he became a household name, and overnight success was as simple as that. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On Chen Lin's computer, Yang Chen's PA value quietly rose a little more, reaching 146. What's more noteworthy is that in the past two or three months, his CA ability value has also increased rapidly, and has quietly climbed to 97. The growth rate is not lagging behind the future Italian stars of the Prato team.

In the following November, Yang Chen's outburst slowed down, but he also scored three goals in five league games, ranking fifth in the league scorer list with eight goals in 14 rounds. However, this did not prevent Prato from riding the dust to throw off the competition, after nearly three months of running-in, the players who joined Prato in the new season began to gradually get familiar with each other, have a tacit understanding, and the most important thing is that Yang Chen and Veron, the two young people, began to be trusted as the core. Through Veron's organization, Prato's offensive ability has improved greatly, and the long pass penetration in the middle and the wings of Doni and Pexoto are playing well.

Therefore, although Prato's opponents began to pay attention to Yang Chen's defense, the improvement of Prato's midfield assist ability indirectly improved his goal efficiency. And after Yang Chen attracted the opponent's defense, he also won a lot of opportunities for his teammates, Doni's dribbling into the goal, and Veron's long-range shot have all contributed successively. Prato won five straight matches in the C-2 league in November to move up to the top of the rankings.

In addition, Prato's fortune in the Coppa Italia this season is also very good. Although the second round of the main match drew a second division team Bologna, but this season Bologna can be described as a disaster, several leading players have been injured and reimbursed for the season, and the youth team has not produced a few good seedlings, this season is at the bottom of the Serie B League, and began to fight for relegation early. Therefore, Bologna, who are full of wounds, have no intention of making much effort in the Coppa Italia, preferring to rest their main team for a few more games. Therefore, the Prato team can be said to have solved the youth team sent by Bologna without blood, and allowed themselves to go one step further in the Coppa Italia. Of the 16 remaining teams in the Coppa Italia, only Prato is a third-division team. In this regard, Italy's national professional newspaper "Torino Sport" expressed surprise, saying that Prato is the biggest dark horse of the season. Sometimes people don't pay attention to the process, just look at the result, knowing that there are only three teams left in the second division of the Coppa Italia round of 16, and Prato has a small national profile for the first time.

However, Chen Lin is no longer in Italy, and he returned to China in early November.

After the Jianlibao team completed the second round of selection in BJ, 48 players were selected to enter the preliminary list, namely: Sun Jihai, Chen Dong, Wu Jun, Wang Feng, Lin Yang, Ma Ningbo, Sun Zhi (Dalian); Sui Dongliang, Zhang Ran, Yu Shunping, Li Jian, Liu Liyang, Ren Meng (Bayi); Li Tie, Li Jinyu, Chen Yang, Yao Li, Li Yao (LN Zhang Yue, Yang Jie, Zhang Xiaorui, Shang Yi (TJ Li Weifeng, Wang Fei, Chen Tao, Bao Wenjie (locomotive); Wang Wenhua, Zheng Bin, Hu Hongguo (HB Han Tao, Ali Mujiang (XJ Zhao Yuhuai (Guangzhou); Xue Shen (BJ, Sui Guanglu (Shenyang); Daniel Zhang (AH) Chen Xuefeng (SH Hao Wei) SD Liu Lin (Wuhan); Wenkui Chen (Meizhou); Yang Xiaoping (GD) Qiu Weiguo (ZQ: Zhang Yonghai (North); Jiang Tao, Zheng Yan, Huang Yong, Wang Lei, Jia Wenpeng, Zheng Chuan (Shen Bu).

They will have a final round of selection at the YN Haigeng base, and 22 people will be selected to go to Italy, and the Chinese Football Association specially invited Chen Lin and the coach of the Prato club to go to Haigeng, after all, according to the agreement, these children will be the youth players of the Prato team in the future.

However, when Chen Lin led Pugree and others to Haigeng, the Chinese coaching staff found that Chen Lin also had 3 children with him, except for one of the children named Tao Wei who was eliminated before, the other two children had never seen each other, one was from LN named Zhang Yuning, and the other was from SD called Shu Chang.

The kid named Tao Wei is said to have had a bad cold when he was in BJ, and as a result, he was sick for a month, so he was not selected in the end. For Chen Lin's sake, several Chinese coaches were willing to give him a chance.

But when testing Zhang Yuning and Shu Chang next, the Chinese coaching staff was stunned. In their thoughts, the two of them should be like Tao Wei, a pearl in the sea. found that these two children who played the forward position had surprisingly poor skills, and there was no possibility of being selected at all.

However, Chen Lin then asked Zhu Guanghu and others to test Zhang Yuning's physical fitness, which was comparable to the physical fitness of track and field team members, which instantly conquered the Chinese coaching staff. Chen Lin just smiled in his heart: This is a guy with 140pa like Sun Jihai's six little swans, although the technology is almost there, but it is still in time.

In fact, although Zhang Yuning has been admired for his talent since he was a child, he does not have any understanding and love for football, he just thinks that he can find a group of classmates to play with. Later, when he entered the amateur sports school in the district, he also "fished for three days and dried nets for two days", and even let the coach expel him. In 1985, when he entered Zhang Yin's football school, he still hadn't become interested in football, he didn't care about football, and his friends practiced juggling. At that time, the most attractive thing for him was that everyone got together to play glass balls and play cards before training. It wasn't until he met Su Yongshun, an old-timer in Chinese football, when he was 13 years old, that under Su Yongshun's earnest and patient teaching, he began to practice football seriously.

However, after becoming famous, he lost interest in football. In April 2000, Zhang Yuning, who had a good career, was drunk and drove and was in a car accident, although he was only slightly injured, but his teammate in the same car, Qu Leheng, who was only 22 years old at the time, was paralyzed for life. Zhang Yuning was later ordered by the court to pay 2.34 million yuan in compensation, especially since the entire lawsuit took more than four years, which had a great impact on his career. In Chen Lin's opinion, this is a guy who wastes his talent in vain, you must know that Horton, who is above the top, has tried to poach Zhang Yuning to Leicester City several times.

Contrary to Zhang Yuning, there is no superhuman talent in Shu Chang's physical fitness from SD. But Chen Lin saw two golden values in his personal ability score, 17 for work dedication and 17 for bravery, which is an alternative genius. Maybe he won't shine as brightly as Zhang Yuning, but he is definitely an indispensable cornerstone of a team. In this regard, Chen Lin just told the Chinese coaching staff that if Shu Chang was not selected, he was willing to send him to Italy to study at his own expense.

In fact, after the final selection, Chen Lin had one more person on his self-paid list - Sun Jihai, who was measured to be said to be over the bone age.

On November 15, 1992, more than a year earlier than the original history, a group of 24 teenagers from the Jianlibao youth team boarded the plane to Italy, including Li Weifeng and Tao Wei, who were not selected for the first time in history and were substituted into the Jianlibao team until two years later, as well as Zhang Yuning, Shu Chang and Sun Jihai who did not appear in the Jianlibao team list in history.

Chen Lin began to look forward to what kind of future this group of teenagers will bring to Chinese football?
