The World Youth Championships is a hotbed for young players around the world, where they can unleash their talents.

The smoke of the World Junior Championships in the Netherlands two years ago has long since dissipated, but that series of wonderful images still echo in the minds of many people.

Raphinha, Zabaleta, Messi, Mikel, Chen Tao, Cesc Fabregas, David Silva......

They left a splendid legacy in the Netherlands.

The World Youth Championship is the stage for the world's young players, from which they can step on a higher stage.

The World Junior Championships have brought them to the attention of the big clubs, and after that, they have accepted more invitations and even temptations.

At this time, they often have to make a choice, and of course their family or agent can also make a choice for them.

John Obi Mikel, Nigeria's midfield commander and the brains of the team, showed a composure that did not match his age, excellent ball protection and reasonable ball sharing in the game, sorted out the Nigerian midfield, and led the team all the way to the World Youth Championship final. But in the final, he met another talent, Messi, and after 90 minutes of fierce fighting, they lost 1-2 to Argentina and won the second place in the World Youth Championship.

In teamwork, they lost ninety minutes of the game.

In the competition for the final individual honor, he lost to Messi here and won the Silver Ball Award at the World Youth Championships.

But that doesn't overshadow his brilliance at the World Junior Championships.

There were already two teams playing for him before that: Manchester United and Chelsea.

It all started in April 2005, when United took their eye on the 18-year-old Mikel, who was still playing for Leon in Oslo, Norway. Mikel was very excited to be favored by Manchester United, after all, he was just an unknown junior in Europe at that time, and Manchester United was the top giant in world football. He soon signed a contract with Manchester United after making contact with Manchester United, who soon agreed a transfer agreement with Leon Oslo, for which Mikel would join the Reds in January 2006 for a fee of £4 million. But after the baptism of the World Youth Championships, Mikel, who shines brightly, has received more attention from giants, but because Mikel has signed a contract with Manchester United, even if these teams have taken a fancy to him, they have not made any moves. But there's one club that doesn't care, and that's Chelsea, who have deep pockets. After falling in love with Mikel, they directly contacted Mikel's agent without saying a word.

From being an unknown player, to signing for Manchester United, to being the runner-up of the World Youth Championships, winning the Silver Ball Award at the World Youth Championships, and being favored by Chelsea, Mikel has reached a small peak in his life. Mikel, who was proud of his life, suddenly found that he couldn't satisfy his heart after reopening his contract with Manchester United. So at the suggestion of his agent, a transfer agreement was reached with Chelsea. And it was announced that Manchester United and Mikel signed in the absence of his agent. In order to retain this talent, Ferguson even came forward to persuade himself, but in the end he was unable to redeem Mikel. An angry Manchester United took Chelsea to FIFA with a piece of paper, eventually receiving £12 million in compensation from the club. It was precisely because of the loss of Mikel's genius that Yu Liang was given the opportunity to join Manchester United.

Now, just over a year later, Mikel has made 41 appearances in all competitions for Chelsea, making it a successful season. But in a Chelsea side with Mikel Ballack and Frank Lampard, he went from being an all-encompassing centre-back at the World Youth Championships to a midfielder who can only defend at the back, sharing playing time with Claude Makelele and Essien.

When he joined Chelsea, he got a lot, like material things. But he also lost a lot, on the pitch he lost the power to organise the attack, his talent was suppressed.

If he hadn't changed his mind at the time, but had followed Alex Ferguson's persuasion to join Manchester United, would this be the result now?

He didn't know.

But judging from Yu Liang's performance, maybe he will be in a better situation after joining Manchester United. At least Ferguson won't dampen his talent in attacking playmaking.

In addition to the change of position and the suppression of his offensive talents, he is still very satisfied with his current life. At least in this star-studded squad, his playing time is guaranteed.

But the only thing that makes him unhappy is that the media always compares him with Yu Liang's unknown junior.

Whenever Yu Liang has a good performance at Manchester United, the media will talk about the unhappy story between him and Manchester United, and finally express the meaning that Manchester United Club will thank Mikel for choosing to get a talent like Yu Liang.

Jose Mourinho has made it clear that he will be offered a starting spot in the FA Cup final at the weekend. It's very exciting for him, he's been training really hard in the last few days, and he's hoping to get into the FA Cup final with his best form, and then beat Manchester United, beat Yu Liang in the game, and let the media see who the real talent is. He is also hoping to secure a solid starting position within Chelsea.

……

What happened to the little girl named Madeleine was heartbreaking, perhaps because of this, and then during training, Yu Liang and their smiles were much less, which only added to the gloomy atmosphere in the training ground, and also rendered a dull atmosphere for the upcoming FA Cup final.

In the dreary day's training, the last part came - free attack training!

The daily training for the past few days has ended with a free attack drill. While the methods are the same, the content varies from day to day.

Today's training includes the tactics they have been training in the past few days, and it is clear that today's free attack training is to prepare for the final at the weekend.

In today's free offensive training, Yu Liang wore a red vest that symbolized the substitute, and King Dong was still in the free offensive group, partnering with Rooney in the front. This has been the case for the past few days. Although Yu Liang and King Dong have shown very good competitive form in the past few days of training, it is not difficult to see from this arrangement that King Dong has basically locked the starting seat in the weekend finals, while Yu Liang is likely to sit on the bench.

Of course Yu Liang knew this, but he didn't care!

A season has passed, and he has become bearish on this. Because no one can play all the games in a season, even the benches have a lot of time.

After a day's training, Yu Liang and Dong Wang quickly cleaned up in the locker room, and drove home without even taking a shower, because there was a game of the Chinese team today! (To be continued.) )
