Chapter 54: The Secret of the Blowout of Chinese Football Talent (119/134)
Chinese football seems to have reached a blowout, with excellent players constantly popping up and landing in Europe.
The European media began to be surprised by the explosion of Chinese football talent, and they even came to China to conduct interviews and reports to explore the reasons and trajectory of the development of Chinese football.
Then they found that most of these players have a company behind them, that is, the Chinese agent company "Star Project".
The company burst onto the scene in China a decade ago, making its first successful move to join Lazio by young Chinese player Wu Lei, and has since expanded rapidly.
They have a near monopoly on the way for Chinese players to go abroad.
And this company can always find the most suitable home for different players, which makes many players get better and better after going abroad, and therefore they have won a good reputation in the hearts of Chinese players.
The media continues to dig deeper into the company's background.
found that the legal representative of this company is Ji Leng, who used to be a well-known sports reporter in China, once worked as a reporter around Chang Sheng, and followed and reported on Chang Sheng, so he had a good relationship with Chang Sheng.
There are also some media who want to see if there is any private insider trading between the "Star Project" brokerage company and Chang Sheng.
For example, from Wu Lei's transfer to Lazio's trading activities, whether Chang Sheng took a kickback and used the money of the Lazio club to fill his pocket.
There are even people who want to dig deeper into the relationship between Changsheng and this brokerage company.
However, they didn't find anything, and the "Star Project" company was as clean as a blank sheet of paper, without any suspicions. Ji Leng has a good relationship with Chang Sheng, but no one stipulates that friends with a good relationship can't get into the football field.
Chang Sheng also did not take kickbacks from Wu Lei's transfer deal.
In addition, the reason why the "Star Project" agent company was able to obtain the international transfer agency rights of many Chinese players is also related to the good cooperative relationship between them and the Chinese Football Association.
Such an agent company that has people to help in European football and people in China. It is very normal to grow rapidly in just a few years.
As a result, the European media had to come to the conclusion that the blowout of Chinese football talents is inextricably linked to this company, but this connection is very clean and normal.
Over the past decade, many Chinese players have gone abroad and landed in leagues around the world through various means, mainly the Star Project.
The Brazilian league in South America, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Northern Europe, and even Major League Soccer have all had Chinese players in these places.
It started out to open up the market. There is an influx of Chinese players, they are not the best players in China, many of them feel that there is no way out in China, and they plan to go abroad to break through, and they are lucky. Maybe it can open up a new world. Most of them are young players.
These players are unknown in Chinese professional football.
There are also quite a few students at the Lazio Football School.
Their strength is not too good, even if they go abroad to play, they can only go to those second-rate leagues or first-class leagues in the lower leagues, and they may not be able to play the main team, many of them initially joined the youth team, and it is a thing to celebrate to be able to play in the reserve team.
Such a player. China's mainstream media basically doesn't report and doesn't care.
Only on the Internet, there will be some fans who are more concerned about Chinese players staying abroad.
Later, as time went by, high-quality players began to appear.
Gradually, they were able to play in some of the biggest names, albeit as a substitute.
And then later. They can hit the main force.
Now, it is core players such as Ji Ming, Chen Yingying, and Chen Jian who have appeared.
It took ten years for Chinese football to finally blossom in European football.
And what's even more commendable is that these players all played abroad when they were young.
By now, they're either in their prime. Either there's more room for upside, and their future is worth looking forward to. The future of the Chinese team composed of them is also worth looking forward to.

The Star Project has players from many football clubs across the continent, and some are even part of Lazio's rivals.
And the "Star Project" was formed by Chang Sheng, so it seems that Chang Sheng has spent countless energy and cultivated a lot of opponents for himself, which is really stupid.
But Chang Sheng has never thought about this kind of problem, in his opinion, the European continent is full of Chinese players, Chinese football has benefited from it, and Chinese fans have more expectations every European football match day, these players can bring them joy and hope, that is more happy than winning the championship themselves.
He has won enough trophies and is the most decorated manager in the history of world football.
Then he should also give back to society.
He should stand on a higher ground and think about Chinese football.
So he doesn't regret what he did.
Of course, no one will know about it, and no one will ever know about it.
No one knows that so many Chinese players who are active in European football are all able to appear on this stage because of their constant wins.
He is like the meritorious men of two bombs and one star, destined to be incognito and silently dedicated for the rest of his life.
But for the sake of Chinese football, for the sake of those lovely Chinese fans, he has no regrets.

Chen Yingying is not a player from the "Star Project", but he has been trained at the Lazio Football Academy, so strictly speaking, he also has a relationship with Chang Sheng.
It is indisputable that he benefited from the winning package.
And Lazio Football School is not the same as the "Star Project", this is something that can be seen.
After Chen Yingying became famous, reporters turned his old bottom up, naturally knowing that he had been trained at the Lazio Football School for three years.
However, he was expelled for fighting.
Later, he went to Russia and recommended himself.
And then...... And then he was chosen.
However, Chen Yingying himself may not be willing to admit that he has benefited from the plan of constant victory.
Because in his heart, Lazio Football School has been classified as an opponent.
He has always been angry about his expulsion.
So he has always been reluctant to admit that he is a student of Lazio Football School, even if it was only once.
Is he grateful for Chang Sheng?
Don't be funny, maybe he only has hatred for Chang Sheng?
Before Lazio's home game against Napoli. Chen Yingying personally proved this.
This is the first time Chen Yingying has played against Chang Sheng, so many Chinese media ran to interview Chen Yingying, and the relationship between Chen Yingying and Chang Sheng was mentioned during the interview.
The specific question is as follows: "Would you now appreciate the three years you spent training at the Lazio Football Academy, where your success was laid, and how you are now grateful......
Before the question was finished, he was interrupted by Chen Yingying, who stared at the reporter: "Thank you?" Why should I be thankful? Didn't I pay my tuition for training there? Is the tuition fee of 30,000 yuan a year a money that ordinary people can take out casually? I pay and they train me, and it's a fair deal. I didn't owe my tuition, so I don't need to thank them either. If I don't pay, do you think they're going to let me go to school? ”
The reporter was dumbfounded by the rhetorical question.
However, everyone confirmed one thing from Chen Yingying's answer - Chen Yingying's impression of Lazio is really not good......
So will this emotion affect his performance tomorrow?
Will he take his hatred of Lazio Football School onto Lazio and then go all out to beat Lazio in tomorrow's game?
That's a real attraction!

Chang Sheng did not respond to Chen's words.
First of all, he is the principal of the Lazio football school. However, he is only in name, and there are other people in charge of specific affairs, so it would be too far-fetched to say that Chen Yingying is dissatisfied with Lazio Football School and is dissatisfied with his frequent wins.
Secondly, Chang Sheng is the most successful figure in Chinese football in Europe, with a high status. And he is Chen Yingying's predecessor, and he doesn't need to be like a child who is not yet twenty years old.
If you have anything to say, leave it to the court.
So the hype didn't stir up at all.

Lazio's home match against Napoli was a match that was broadcast live to the world. This game is also the highlight of this round of the league.
There's a lot to see.
First of all, of course, the direct dialogue between the second and third places in the league determines the league standings of both sides, and even affects Juventus' league standings. Because the Juventus match was played first, the match between Lazio and Napoli was scheduled for the last match. It is for this reason that it is also possible.
Secondly, it is naturally a contest between several Chinese.
In addition to Chen Yingying and Chang Sheng. There is also Ji Ming.
Ji Ming was once considered the core of Chinese football in the next decade and is the most superstar player in Chinese football.
Now that a Chen Yingying has emerged, who is the superstar of Chinese football, this is a direct dialogue, and it is worth paying attention to.
With so many gimmicks put together, it naturally makes this game a lot of attention.
More than 30 Chinese media outlets came to cover the game live, and China's national television broadcast, CCTV, also broadcast the game live. And two weeks before the game, a trailer was put on TV to advertise the game.
An hour before the game, it entered the live show. It's almost the equivalent of a Champions League final.
Inside China, tens of millions of Chinese fans are waiting in front of their televisions and computers, ready to watch the game.
The Italian Football Federation also fully took into account the reaction of the Asian market, especially the Chinese market, and arranged the match in the afternoon local time, at half past nine in the evening Beijing time, which is the prime time.
It is very convenient for Chinese fans to watch the game, and there is no need to stay up late.
ps: The ninth watch, one more stop away from the tenth watch, what about our monthly pass?
Come to the bowl!
