Don't deny Zhang Zhetian's patriotism, except for Zhang Zhetian, who chose to change his nationality in anger, none of them joined Germany, and they have been holding permanent residence permits there.

Therefore, it is China's sports department that has lost a rare talent player, and in the next 20 years, the Sports Bureau and the Pig Association have been scolded by fans on the pillar of shame.

Well, back to the topic, in fact, even if the outstanding young elite enters the club echelon, or even directly into the club football school, there is still no relaxation in their academic requirements, for example, when the player reaches the age of 16, the cultural classes to be completed have reached 34 hours a week.

Some people may think that "reading is useless" for these future professional footballers, but the academy coach will tell you, "If a child does not even complete the basic schoolwork, we do not believe that he will become a good professional footballer." ”

Then you will see the scene of the children hurrying to complete their homework on the bus as the youth team bus rushed to the competition venue.

Here are three examples:

The first is Bayern Munich youngster Joshua Kimmich, who wore the captain's armband of the German team this summer, and Kimmich graduated from high school with a high score of 1.7, which is enough for him to attend a very good university in Germany.

Bayer Leverkusen youngster Kai Havertz, who scored twice in the Bundesliga last season, was actively preparing for exams at school while his teammates were enjoying a holiday this summer. ”

The most representative is the 17-year-old talented goalscorer Fitt Arp, who turned down offers from Real Madrid, Barcelona and other giants this summer and chose to renew his contract with Hamburg.

Cause?

"I think staying in Hamburg is good for me to complete my studies!"

Jörg Alberts, a former international player who played for Zhongku, put forward a suggestion: "Zhongguo's money-burning behavior is not the right way, the most important thing for Chinese football should be youth training, if the youth training system is missing, it will be difficult for the whole league to continue to develop." It's like building a house, if the foundation is not laid, no matter how good the roof is. ”

Dietrich Mateschitz bowed his head thoughtfully and did not speak, drinking quietly, while Darko Markowitz looked out the window.

Mateschitz needed time to digest the small amount, but some information that was beyond his expectations.

He wasn't sure what he meant by the youth training and reinforcements of German football, but it seemed that there was still hope for him to talk to him for so long.

RB Leipzig sent him a summer transfer plan after the season, in addition to keeping the core players, the recruitment is basically dominated by young players, and the players on the recruitment list, Mateschitz does not know any of them.

Mateschitz has the intention of turning RB Leipzig into a giant, but he also knows that speed is not enough, and even if the current team has enough financial resources, it will not be able to attract big-name players at all, so Mateschitz can only hold back his ambitions, do not interfere in everything of the club, and expect the team to accumulate steadily.

After knowing that Zhang Zhetian entered the transfer market, he suddenly had the idea that he was the idol of Argentine star Diego Maradona.

"To become a giant, in addition to the championship, the influence brought by big-name stars is indispensable, Bayern's status is obtained through countless records, Dortmund has won the championship in recent years by relying on youth training, Leipzig, can walk on two legs." Zhang Zhetian said as he tapped on the table.

Mateschitz looked deaf, and Markwitz laughed secretly when he saw it.

But he was also curious that this demonic boss would say something different.

"Adhere to youth training, promote most of the newcomers who have the ability to enter the front line, in a position that a newcomer can not make up, introduce big-name stars, persevere for a few years, as long as you can continue to participate in the Champions League, you can win a few trophies, the competitive results, business, you are an expert, two-pronged, as long as there are no problems, within seven or eight years, you can achieve your goal."

Like, there's nothing new.

Mateschitz was about to open his mouth, but Zhang Zhetian raised his hand to stop it, and then smiled slightly: "I know why you found me, although I debuted for a short time, but I know my popularity, market value, you probably also see my potential, you are very discerning." ”

Is it okay for you to brag about yourself like that? Boss!

The corners of Macwitz's mouth twitched.

Mateschitz was shocked, he didn't expect Zhang Zhetian to see the reason why he had found him.

"Although RB Leipzig was the dark horse of last season, but the football circle is the same as the entertainment industry, it is difficult to pay attention to one thing for a long time, if you want to improve the popularity of the team, you must make a big move this summer, so you have to compete with Real Madrid, in addition to the attraction I can bring, I am afraid you want me to be the guide to bring Leipzig to the giants."

Markwitz looked at Mateschitz with wide eyes, and from his shocked gaze, it was clear that the boss was right.

is so charming, daring to compete with giants such as Real Madrid and Paris for the owner, in most cases, a team like Leipzig is not an opponent of giants at all.

Still, it seems, the boss seems to ......

"Maradona created the glory of Napoli single-handedly, he did not choose the three giants of Italy, but went to a small team that people do not understand. You want me to be like Maradona, to do what he did or didn't do. We have an old Chinese saying that a thousand dollars buy horse bones, but, "Palm Zhetian paused, looked at this Mateschitz with blazing eyes, and straightened his body."

"I can say here that where I am, I am a giant!"

Where am I, where is the wealthy?

Where I am, there is a wealthy family!

What a big breath!

What arrogant words!

Mateschitz and Makwitz gasped, and they looked at each other to see the shock in each other's eyes.

In the history of Napoli football, although there have been stars such as Dino Zoff and Enrico Sivori, the reason why it has occupied an important position in world football is because of Maradona, the king of the ball gave his glory years (24 to 30 years old) to this team, scoring 115 goals in 259 games, but this number does not fully reflect the great contribution of the king to Napoli football.

In the 58 years before Maradona's arrival, Napoli had only won the Coppa Italia twice, reached the semi-finals of the European Cup Winners' Cup once, and had a lackluster record for the rest.

After narrowly avoiding relegation in the 1982-83 season, with a one-point advantage, the following year the board of directors "suddenly went into a boyhood" and made Maradona's transfer a reality, and the arrival of the king of the ball changed everything.

When Napoli brought in Maradona in the summer of 1984 for a record transfer fee of US$4 million, Napoli fans were stunned to see the Argentine still struggling with injuries (he was tackled by Athletic Bilbao defender Goyegochea in September 1983).

The seven seasons from 1984 to 1997 were the golden years of Napoli and Maradona, and they became a force to the attention of Italy, from obscurity to being able to compete with the giants of the north.

In 1986, they finished third in Serie A, won the league championship in 1987, and fought to the death with AC Milan in 1988, and finally finished second in the league.

In 1989, he won the UEFA Cup and the league runner-up, and in 1990, he left AC Milan and won the league title......

All this is obviously Maradona's biggest gift to the Neapolitans, and the most important thing is that Napoli is not a rich city, buying Maradona is a crazy move, the team is unable to build a real giant army, and under the premise that the overall level of the team is weaker than the northern giants, it can also win two Serie A championships, largely relying on Maradona's super strong individual.

In seven years, Maradona brought Napoli two Serie A titles, a Coppa Italia, a Supercoppa Italia and a UEFA Cup, an honour unmatched by any other southern team in the history of Italy.

After the loss of Maradona, Napoli has emerged Gianfranco Zola, Fabio Cannavaro, Danielle Fonseca, Paulo Di Canio and other stars, but they can only run their own small world, just use Napoli as a springboard to the giants, like Maradona to lead Napoli to the giants head-on, no one can do it.

The first championship in 1987, Maradona almost single-handedly won, the second championship in 1990, when Serie A had become a "small World Cup" scale, and Napoli could show relatively few stars, and it was more difficult to win the championship.

After Maradona, if the southern team still wants to win the league, it can be said that it is unimaginable under real conditions.

Interestingly, Maradona had an encounter with Leipzig when he played for Napoli, and in the 1988-89 season, Napoli lost to Inter Milan, who introduced two German internationals, and finished second, but won the first European championship in European competition, the UEFA Cup.

In those days, the UEFA Cup was not as "chicken" as it is today, and among the teams that Napoli defeated was the predecessor of RB Leipzig, Lokomotiv Leipzig of the former GDR.

Looking back on Maradona's seven seasons in Naples, it can be confirmed that the Napoli squad without Maradona is compared with several giants in the north, and the three lines are not worth scrutinizing, but as long as Maradona intervenes, with one more point, Napoli's mediocre lineup can be sublimated to another height, with both high and amazing scores, and can lead in the standings.

It can even be said that the rest of the squad can continue to be mediocre, and as long as Maradona is shining, Napoli's future is bright.

His departure took the soul of Napoli with him, and the fate of relegation after that was also inevitable.

Maradona is a special symbol of his time, just like he said and believed in throughout his life, and challenging strength is his credo.

The big clubs of the north have dominated Serie A for too long and there is a need for something new, and in Napoli Maradona is not just a player, he even has a certain political tinge attached to him, becoming the voice of the disadvantaged who are discriminated against and suppressed.

During this period, Maradona became the most prominent man in Serie A, as a Neapolitan historian of the time said: "When Maradona speaks, it doesn't need to be too loud, but the whole of Italy listens." ”

Moreover, in those seven years, Maradona's team won the championship for two seasons, which is inconceivable in Italy, where the competition is fierce and the northern giants monopolize it.

Only Maradona can do it by one person to put the whole team on his shoulders and break the monopoly of the northern giants by himself.

Now, a 19-year-old Chinese teenager has told Mateschitz, who idolizes Maradona, that he can do it, and even surpass Maradona, which makes Austria's richest man stunned.

Mateschitz smiled, knowing that he had not come in vain.

"Thank you for your willingness to take the adventure with us and create a miracle." Mateschitz held Zhangzhetian's huge palm, and while he was secretly shocked in his heart, he smiled at Zhangzhetiandao.

"It's not an adventure," Palm Zhetian corrected Mateschitz's words: "As long as there is determination, there will be miracles." ”

After Mateschitz left, Markowitz said: "Boss, are you really going to Leipzig?" ”

"Lao Ma will not treat me badly in terms of salary, and your money will not be less. Moreover, in terms of Lao Ma's business ability, are you still worried? ”

"However, Leipzig's low profile will affect the value of the boss?"

Zhang Zhetian laughed, shook his head, and stood up: "Darko, you are still a Jew, and the old horse can see that your vision and pattern are still too small." ”

Looking at the back of Zhang Zhetian, Markwitz shook his head with a wry smile.

Boss, you always do unexpected things, I'm afraid many people won't expect that the boss will finally choose the next home, and when the time comes, I don't know how many topics will be generated.

On the evening of June 3, the world's high-profile Champions League final ended in a staggering 4-1 score, no one expected that Juventus, who created the history of consecutive Serie A titles, would lose so badly, and Gian Luigi Buffon fell in the Champions League final again.

Records are meant to be broken.

Real Madrid broke the record of no team defending the Champions League since the restructuring, with top star Cristiano Ronaldo setting a record of three Champions League finals, while Ronaldo also extended his record of scoring every time he faced Gianluigi Buffon in the Champions League.

What can't be broken is fate.

The world is hoping that Juventus will win the title, as fans hope that the veteran Gianluigi Buffon, who has been holding on for 22 years, will have a fulfilling career.

The honor-ridden Italian goalkeeper is short of the Champions League and the European Cup, which echoes the old saying that there is no perfection in the world.

On the "Leader" website, cane fans saw the first blog post after Zhang Zhetian's change of nationality: No matter what, you are a legend. Tribute to my predecessors, the eternal "youngster" Buffon. [.]
