"Finally signed this contract, as long as I lead the Espanyol U16 team to win the Groundhog Cup, Boss Chen will have to agree to a transfer fee of 444 million euros."

"It's a pity that I pay the money myself, and I pay the taxes myself, in order to complete this task, I'm afraid I won't have a penny left in my early savings."

"Are the system and Boss Chen related? This 444 million euro task is simply for me to work for this Boss Chen for free! Gao Hong couldn't help but complain.

I hope that after the system is updated, an update gift package will be sent to compensate for his loss, otherwise it will be too cost-effective.

After negotiating with Boss Chen and paying the deposit, Gao Hong took over the work of the head coach of the Espanyol U16 echelon.

"Working for others as a coach, and having to pay for it yourself, there is no one else who works this way." Gao Hong lamented.

There is still a month before the start of the Groundhog Cup, and after taking over the Espanyol U16 echelon, the first thing Gao Hong has to do is to use the inspection card to have a comprehensive understanding of the qualifications and attributes of all players.

The football qualifications of European teenagers are indeed higher than those of domestic players of the same age.

After this investigation, Gao Hong felt that the Chinese could not play football well and it was not all the result of the players' lack of effort, and there were indeed racial reasons.

The three major balls in European and American countries are very powerful, but small balls such as table tennis and badminton cannot beat the Chinese, and the same reason is also the reason of race.

Therefore, sometimes you still have to be considerate of the national football team, many things are not necessarily fruitful if you work hard, and the talent and aptitude of the race are often more important than hard work.

In order to ensure that the Groundhog Cup can win the cup, Gao Hong first used his experience card and ball soul to taste some sweetness for these young players, and won over them, and then with the help of these young players, he investigated and recruited several amateur players with high qualifications, but poor physical fitness and poor training.

He even persuaded Boss Chen to bring in two highly qualified Chinese children's Gong Chenglong and Yuan Qiang from China to join the Espanyol U16 team.

These two are both young players who have reached the SS level when Gao Hong was in China, and he has traveled to countless cities and selected young players with SS qualifications, and he has not spared a lot of money to dig into his command.

This is a good opportunity for them to make their mark in the Groundhog Cup and enter the vision of the big five league clubs, which can be regarded as the reserve force that Gao Hong has spent his efforts to cultivate for Chinese football.

In the future, after he retires, they can continue to support Chinese football.

……

A month later, the Groundhog Cup is about to kick off.

Gao Hong's team personnel are also complete, and all of them are equipped with SS-level ball souls, and the combat power of the entire team has reached more than 210,000, which is 50,000 more than the 160,000 combat power of Real Madrid's U16 echelon, the most powerful opponent of the competition.

The other strongest opponent is FC Barcelona's U16 team, although Gao Hong carried out a super purge of their U16 players in China last time, but the strong heritage of FC Barcelona was fully demonstrated in this incident.

Their starting XI were all replaced, and they were heavily recruited to form a new Under-16 team.

The total combat power actually surpassed the previous one, and it also reached 160,000 combat power!

It is similar to Real Madrid's U16 team this time, but it is still a lot worse than Gao Hong's 210,000 combat power.

……

There are a total of 16 teams in the Groundhog Cup.

The format is very simple, draw lots, fight against each other, the first round of sixteen teams to determine the quarterfinals, the second round to determine the top four, the third round to determine the top two, and then the two teams that stand out from the encirclement compete for the final championship.

The Groundhog Cup is held once a year, which is the most formal competition between the U16 echelons of La Liga clubs, and it is also a big review of the reserve forces of Spanish football.

Many famous Spanish stars, such as Raul, Casillas, Torres, etc., have emerged from the Groundhog Cup.

Spain's giant clubs, including some Premier League, Bundesliga, and Serie A clubs, are very concerned about the Groundhog Cup, and will also arrange scouts to watch the game on the spot.

This is also the reason why Gao Hong chose the Groundhog Cup as the starting point of his career as a European football coach.

Although the Groundhog Cup has a certain popularity in the five major leagues and major clubs will pay attention to it, it is not well-known in China, and few fans in China know about this event.

Originally, domestic fans and netizens would not pay attention to the Groundhog Cup this time.

But a breaking news after the start of the Groundhog Cup has brought the event into the field of vision of Chinese fans.

As the old saying goes, it's not that rivals don't get together.

That is the Espanyol U16 echelon led by Gao Hong, and in the first round of the draw, they encountered the U16 echelon of FC Barcelona.

And it was listed as the opening match of this year's event.

Some Spanish media focused on the event, re-describing the feud between Gao Hong and FC Barcelona, and then reprinted it by the domestic media.

In order to play well in this marmot cup, Gao Hong gave up the matter of competing in La Liga with those players who did not work hard, and concentrated on the daily training of the U16 echelon.

In the past month, there has been basically no news about Gao Hong in China.

At this time, domestic fans knew that Gao Hong was not idle, and after not playing in La Liga, he did his old job again and started youth training in the Espanyol team.

The opening match between the Espanyol U16 echelon led by Gao Hong and the Barcelona club U16 echelon has also become a hot topic of discussion among fans and netizens.

The last 37-0 match-fixing case has not been conclusive.

Although both FC Barcelona and FIFA investigations ultimately showed that no one was playing match-fixing.

But who believes?

Therefore, this time, another form of competition between the two sides is very eye-catching.

In this opening game, is it the successful revenge of the Barcelona club, which has spent a lot of money to reinvigorate? Or will he lose again inexplicably to Gao Hong's subordinates who seem to use witchcraft?

Of course, there are also two young players Gong Chenglong and Yuan Qiang who have attracted the attention of domestic fans and netizens.

They are not well-known in China, and this time they were specially brought by Gao Hong to Europe to participate in the Groundhog Cup, and they had a face-to-face fight with the European powers, and I don't know how they will perform on the field.

Some fans also sighed...... Although Gao Hong was banned in China, he still continued to work hard for Chinese football, no matter what he did before, this spirit is still commendable.

I just don't know how far he can go in the groundhog cup this time.
