In March, Wu Jie led Bayern to three league victories again, Bayern's ranking also rushed to second place, the German Cup smoothly entered the semi-finals, and defeated Sweden's Osda with an aggregate score of 9:1 in the Champions League to enter the quarterfinals.

He topped the list in all three competitions, and many European media have publicly called him the king of Europe, and a few German media have called for the "Ballon d'Or" to be expanded to the world.

Of course, this voice is not raised much in Germany, and the European media is basically pretending to be deaf and dumb.

Everyone knows that once the selection of the "Golden Globe Award" is expanded outside Europe, then Wu Jie will inevitably win this award, and even have a perennial monopoly, which will be unacceptable to most Europeans.

The overall performance of Chinese players in Europe has also improved, which has led many teams to send scouts to China all year round in search of talent.

In fact, there is indeed one Chinese talent who is being watched by European teams, and that person is, of course, Lin Yaodong.

The British media has always looked down on Chinese and Chinese players, and even though many Chinese players have been doing well in Europe recently, League One teams are still not interested in Chinese players.

This situation did not change until Lin Yaodong was born, especially when the British media reprinted the Hong Kong media report, and public opinion in England began to be interested in Lin Yaodong.

At the beginning of March, "Reuters", "BBC", "The Times" and other major media reported through Hong Kong media that this Hong Kong genius who took the initiative to apply for the restoration of household registration in the mainland.

Soon, an English League One team even approached his parents in Hong Kong to send a trial invitation to Lam.

Of course, Lin Yaodong did not accept the trial invitation of the English League One team, he knew that as long as he went to the UK at this point in time, the media there would immediately report the news of his British citizenship.

It is also a matter of uncertainty whether the British will play the next three indiscriminate methods.

So Lin Yaodong has been training with the Guangdong team, and he doesn't look at the reports of the British media and Hong Kong media, and he ignores those invitations.

Finally, on April 1, April Fool's Day in the West, he was finally summoned by the Shantou Public Security Bureau.

His application for reinstatement has been approved, and he now has to go through the formalities as soon as possible.

Of course, this matter was approved by the upper echelons, but in the end it was the household registration section of the Shantou Public Security Bureau that came forward.

Lin Yaodong's parents are both from Shantou, and it is normal for this matter to be under the control of Shantou.

At this moment, the happiest thing is the Guangdong team and the Football Association, Lin Yaodong has made rapid progress in the Guangdong team in the past few months, and his physical development is also visible to the naked eye, which will have grown to 183cm, and it seems that he is going to develop more than 190cm.

The Chinese team has never had such a tall goalkeeper, but the advantages of this position definitely outweigh the disadvantages, the height of 1.9 meters belongs to the golden figure of the goalkeeper, and Lin Yaodong is 10cm longer It is the best.

Su Yongshun also immediately recruited Lin Yaodong into the national team training camp, and the Chinese team will have their last training camp before the World Cup in early April.

The training camp will last for two months and will determine the final squad for the World Cup in Spain.

Kuwait also sent 30 players to participate in this training camp, after all, it received so much small money from others.

Of course, this time the Chinese team did not recall the players who played in Europe, and they will return to China in mid-May.

The leagues in Europe are almost over by mid-May, and they will be in the 22-man squad when they return.

Wu Jie and Chen Haonan will not be back until the beginning of June, and they still have to play in the Champions League, which will not end until June.

The World Cup starts at the end of June, and European players return home to join the last month of intensive training.

The training intensity at this stage is not too high, mainly recovery and run-in training.

In short, most of the country's attention is now focused on football, and everyone is looking forward to the coming of the World Cup.

Basketball and volleyball have been underexposed, and swimming has not been paid much attention to.

However, a comic book created by a swimmer has become popular in first- and second-tier cities across the country, and this comic book is "Football Player" created by Shen Lang.

After the Spring Festival, the comic book was jointly published by several major publishing houses, but the money for the publication was paid by Wu Jie.

This doesn't matter, the most painful thing is that the money is outstanding by Wu, but the final income will be accounted for by the publishing house, and then the state-run bookstores around the country will account for half of the half, and he and Shen Lang's income will have to donate half to the foundation, and the final income will be basically negligible.

As for the comic books sold in small shops and roadside newsstands, Wu Jie and Shen Lang couldn't receive a dime.

The comic strips sold in these places are actually privately printed by the publishing houses in various places, and strictly speaking, they are also state-owned, but Wu Jie and Shen Lang ask for less than a penny, who made this have no concept of "copyright" in China at all.

Wu Jie's Chinese-language album was not sold in China, but after the Spring Festival, it was made into audio tapes by audio-visual publishing houses around the country, and then sold in large quantities across the country for only one or two yuan.

But don't think that one or two dollars is less, most people's salaries are only ten or twenty yuan now.

It's only been a few months, and it's conservatively estimated that millions of units have been sold across the country.

Wu Jie still can't get a penny, and he doesn't want to make any money in the next five years, and the state has begun to realize that the concept of "copyright" will not be until the end of the 80s, and it will not be until the 90s when it can be resolved through law, and it will not be until after joining the WTO that it will really be taken seriously.

But he doesn't feel like this is a loss, because although the money can't be earned, the fame is bursting!

Shen Lang's comics are the same, although he has not yet become famous in the pool, but the big "author" name on each comic book makes many people know Shen Lang.

"Football Player" is now only out of the first volume, Shen Lang plans to divide this comic into six articles, namely "Primary School", "Youth Team", "Youth Team", "League", "Europe", and "National Team".

It's only the first volume of the "Elementary School Chapter", and it will be two years before this one is serialized.

But this sequence already reveals a lot of things, because this is exactly the football reform that Wu Jie hoped to carry out in the eighties.

It is unlikely that China will spend too much energy on sports in the next 40 years, and even if the bigwigs like a certain sport, sports must not compete with the college entrance examination for talents.

But can we divert some people who are not academically gifted but who are athletically gifted in primary and secondary school?

Wu Jie intends to look for talents in these two age groups, and then enter the sports schools opened by the sports department at the municipal level, including the subordinate departments of the sports department, for further study.

Football and basketball have no talent, basically you can see at the age of about ten.

He hopes that the physical education classes in the first two years of primary and junior high school can play a role in tapping talents, and the sports fund can provide some subsidies for these schools.

After these sports schools recruit good seedlings, they can carry out blood transfusions to the local sports brigade.

The sports brigades in various places have been formed into regional leagues, which are provincial teams, that is, first-class, second-class, and third-level leagues.

If a star is produced to play in Europe, the sports fund will grant subsidies to the star at each stage according to the trajectory of the star's growth, all the way up to the elementary school where he graduates.

This mechanism can be used until the professionalization of Chinese football in the 90s, in fact, it only needs to be slightly modified at that time.

To put it bluntly, Wu Jie just wants to tap sports talents through the two stages of "primary school" and "sports school", and even sports schools are not needed, one or two sports schools in each city are enough, as long as one or two hundred people are recruited every year, one or two hundred good seedlings of other sports are brought out, and then subsidized by the sports department and sports fund.

More than 600 cities across the country can probably establish more than 1,000 sports schools, so that at least 100,000 reserves can be sent to the three major spheres every year.

If you count the youth echelon of each sports team, then ten years later, the number of registered football players under the age of 18 in China can easily exceed 500,000, and the number of adult football players can reach millions.

In the case of basketball, there is about half of the number of football registrations.

There is still a gap between this number and the number of tens of millions in Europe and the United States, but you must know that these people in China are either from sports schools or from youth training in the sports brigade, and the gold content is much higher than that of a large number of amateurs in Europe and the United States, such as Bai Yansong.

Wu Jie feels that with such a blood transfusion ability, there will be no shortage of talents in Chinese football and basketball, and China's leagues at all levels will be full of competitiveness.

As for what to do with the millions of people who are eliminated, Wu Jie is naturally prepared.

In the future, these sports schools will be surrounded by technical and art schools, as well as sweatshops such as Foxconn.

These factories and technical schools are naturally run by his tool man, so he will not let his hard-earned money be bent and earned, and if he wants to exploit it, it will be exploited by me.

But don't think it's cruel, the competition in the sports industry is so real that it can even be described as miserable.

Except for a very small number of those who can find jobs in the industry, most of them have to change careers in the technical school next door or work in the factory next door, otherwise what else can they do?

Now look at those sports comics that make people's blood boil, is there a feeling of being fooled?

That's right, football and basketball are pretty good, the elimination rate is 99% at most, and at least one out of 100 people can mix careers.

But in the invincible table tennis, behind each member of the national team, how many thousands of athletes who have worked hard for ten years have been eliminated?

After these people are eliminated, except for a very small number of them who can become coaches or work in schools, what can most of them do?

Shen Lang looked at his three teammates at the airport, the Chinese swimmers of this generation, and in the end, there were only these three people, plus he was not eliminated, and most of the rest were eliminated before the age of 25.

They were preparing to participate in the Super Challenge in Miami, USA.

This is an invitational tournament with a high influence in North America, and the system gives the tournament a two-star rating.

Every "Miami Super Challenge" will invite many swimmers from the United States, Australia and West Germany, and in the honeymoon period between China and the United States in recent years, the organizers have given the Chinese swimming team four invitation places.

The four places are actually very shabby, all swimming events add up to more than 30 events, and they have always been the medalists of the major multi-sport games, and the organizers have only given four places to them.

But in world-class swimming competitions, there are almost no Chinese athletes at this time.

In the early 80s, the presence of the Chinese swimming team was too low, and everyone's attention was only focused on athletes from countries with outstanding records, such as the United States, Australia, Germany, and the Soviet Union, and even the Japanese swimming world was also in a situation of being ignored.

Even if Asian swimmers do make it to the international arena, they are only used as a foil, and no one even remembers their names.

This time, Miami did not invite specific Chinese athletes, because they didn't know what famous players in the Chinese swimming world were, so they simply gave four places for the Chinese swimming team to choose outstanding players to participate.

After Feng Jingyuan received the invitation, the first thing that came to mind was Shen Lang.

He is the only one in the national swimming team who has the ability to help China make a name for itself.

But to win the championship is a pipe dream.

Shen Lang's progress in the past six months has been very fast, but now his results are just one of the best in China, and it is difficult to win gold medals in Asia, let alone compete with those international masters.

Feng Jingyuan expects that it will take another half a year for Shen Lang to have the ability to win gold in Asia, and a year later to have the ability to win a medal at the World Championships.

In this invitational tournament, he just wanted Shen Lang to see, and he didn't even have the experience of an international competition at next year's World Championships.

The Chinese swimming team was personally led by Feng Jingyuan this time, and in addition to Shen Lang, the four players sent were Zhao Xuebing and He Jiahui, the captains of the men's and women's teams, and the last one was 17-year-old Yang Xia, who was the most talented young player in the women's team.

Wu Jie has been hesitant to upgrade Yang Xia's talent, this little girl from Fujian has a good talent, she is a two-and-a-half-star physical talent, and a three-star [Seven Flat and Eight Stable] talent, the effect is to increase the sense of balance and coordination of the body, which makes Yang Xia's swimming style very standard, if it is not for the physical talent is slightly worse, she has the strength to impact the gold medal in Asia.

He originally wanted to invest in this rural girl who was not beautiful, but was kind and simple at heart.

But now there are too many places to use money, and Shen Lang is still a four-star physical talent, so naturally he has no spare energy to help others.

In the past few months, Wu Jie has obtained a lot of Olympic coins from various sports, plus the harvest in the Toyota Cup, the deposit has reached 50,000 points.

In two months, after the European tournament, he should be able to save more than 150,000 or so.

At that time, Chen Haonan, Shen Lang, and Lin Yaodong's physical talents had to be upgraded to four and a half stars, so that they could get better results in this year's competition, so others couldn't take care of it for the time being.

The Chinese swimming team first flew to Japan, then transferred to New York, USA, and finally took a flight to Miami.

This journey is complicated enough, but who makes it impossible for China and the United States to have direct flights now.

This time, the Chinese swimming team sent a team of 10 people, including two team leaders, a head coach, two coaches, and a translator, and the remaining four were athletes.

When Shen Lang got off the plane, he was greeted not by a heat wave, but by another mission message of the system.

Side Quest (3) [Miami Vice] -

"Mission requirements: enter at least one semi-final in this invitational tournament!"

"Success Reward: 10,000 Olympic Coins"

After Wu Jie received this task in Europe, he felt that this 10,000 points was not easy to earn.

This competition is not an Asian fishpond, Shen Lang has to face the two drug kingdoms of the United States and Australia, as well as the chemical brigades of the East and the West.

As for Japan, the Olympics and World Championships in the 80s rarely saw their athletes appear in the finals, and ninety percent of the medals were taken by these four countries, including the Soviet Union.

Although there is no East Germany and the Soviet Union in this competition, it is still impossible for Shen Lang to swim to the finals at this stage, and even the semifinals are very difficult, otherwise the rewards will not be so high.
