The gates of Barcelona's training base are always crowded with people who are fans of art football, who come from all over the world to worship the temple of art football, just like believers go to Mecca to worship.

They held up their cameras and mobile phones that could take pictures, and they couldn't wait to press the shutter frequently before they even entered the door, and then talked excitedly about Ronaldinho, Deco, Xavi, Iniesta...... Of course, Messi is definitely not missing, the young Argentine talent has captured the hearts of many fans with his superb skills.

But if they want to see the birthplace of art football, they don't need to go to such a crowded first-team training ground.

Just on the other side of Aristides Street is the training ground of Barcelona's academy La Masia.

Unlike the hundreds of fans surrounding the first team, the youth team's training sessions were watched only sporadically.

The atmosphere here today is a little different.

Before the official training day, a convoy of white buses and three SUVs stopped on the side of the road where La Masia's football school is located.

"Aren't we going to La Masia? Why did we come to Camp Nou?" Zhou Yi got out of the car, and his eyes were naturally attracted by a magnificent stadium in front of him, which was the Camp Nou, the home of the world-famous Barcelona football.

Not only Zhou Yi, but after everyone else got out of the car, they were all looking at the Camp Nou not far in front of them for the first time, it was so huge that people's eyes would be involuntarily attracted by it.

Even He Ying set his eyes on Camp Nou, a little distracted.

After all the young players got off the bus, they were greeted by Garcia, the technical director of La Masia Football School.

He led everyone to the left and left the Camp Nou.

"Welcome to La Masia Football Academy!" Garcia greeted the two-story building with his hands outstretched, proudly showing the building behind him.

Unlike the other little teammates' admiration, Zhou Yi pursed his lips and said with some disappointment: "This is La Masia?

On the way from the airport to the hotel, Zhou Yi and his family saw such houses in the farmland along the highway in the car, and some people said at that time that this was a farmhouse with Catalan characteristics.

Zhou Yi didn't expect to see farmhouses in the city of Barcelona.

He was indeed a little disappointed.

The famous La Masia Football School is just a small building and a training ground...... Artificial turf!

"In Catalan, the 'macia' of 'La Masia' originally means farm. He Ying, who came down behind him, couldn't help but retort when he heard Zhou Yi's disdainful tone.

He was not too surprised by the true face of La Masia in front of him, obviously he had already done his research and was prepared.

"Uh, okay......" Zhou Yi spread his hand.

He later learned that the book He Ying was holding in his hand was a Catalan textbook, and He Ying studied Catalan so seriously, it seemed that he wanted to enter Barcelona to play, and he was a Barcelona "brainless fan".

Garcia couldn't understand Chinese, so he didn't know what Zhou Yi and his teammates said, and his attention was not on these young players, and after introducing the landmark building of La Masia Football School, he took everyone to visit the inside of the small building.

It's also part of reality TV.

Garcia took everyone on a tour of La Masia's football school, and on the slightly yellowed white walls of the cafeteria, there are many photos of players, who look very immature in the photos, but they have long been world-famous superstars, some are still in service, and some have retired.

For example, there is a group photo taken in 1988, 20 children all have long hair that was popular at the time, and one of them, a thin child, has now become the manager of Barcelona's first team, he is Pep Guardiola. There are two other people in this picture, Artimira and Vilanova, both now assistant coaches of the first team.

"Barça have entered a kind of cycle. Garcia said proudly when introducing the people in the photos to the Chinese guests.

Although Barcelona lost the league title in the first two seasons to rivals Real Madrid, this did not affect the pride of the Barcelona academy in the slightest. In terms of youth development, they have indeed surpassed Real Madrid's Lafabrica.

The young Chinese players followed the tour intently, carefully observing what the photos on the wall showed today's superstars like when they were children.

Some are pure curiosity, others have a pilgrim mentality.

Zhou Yidong, who was purely curious, looked around and found that Guo Nu's expression was a little strange, his body was still trembling slightly, and he couldn't help but pat the other party's shoulder: "Hey, what are you doing, Old Guo?"

Unexpectedly, this action startled Guo Fu, he turned his head and glared at Zhou Yi, and did not answer Zhou Yi's question, but continued to sweep at those photos with a pilgrimage-like gaze.

Zhou Yi suddenly realized: "It turns out that you are a supporter of Barcelona!"

"Yes and what?" Guo Nu said in a bad tone, but not angry, but ...... A little shy, it seems that he is a little embarrassed to be known about who he supports.

"Uh, it's not good...... Zhou Yi raised his hand.

Guo Nu ignored him and continued to look at the superstars in those photos, one by one with the people who are now famous.

Andres Iniesta, Xavi, Messi, Cesc Fabregas, Pique...... He found it all.

While looking for it, Guo Nu's mind irrepressibly began to fantasize that if he could enter Barcelona's youth team...... Will your photo be on this wall in a few years?

These young Chinese players all hope to impress the coaches of the youth academies of the giants they challenge through their outstanding performances in the game, so that they can enter the youth teams of their favorite clubs, so as to realize their dreams of staying abroad.

Guo Nu is also clearly hoping that he can perform well in the game and thus have a chance to stay at La Masia.

Just when Guo Nu was looking forward to this bright future, Zhou Yi's voice seemed to come from another plane, pulling him back to reality.

"You want to hang it on the wall too, Lao Guo?"

Guo Nu glanced at Sun Pan and found that Sun Pan was glaring at him, so he forcibly suppressed the anger of being interrupted from his dream, gritted his teeth and asked, "What about it?"

"It's good to be ambitious, old Guo. But let's find a way to play first......" Zhou Yi patted Guo Nu's shoulder and sighed in a sympathetic tone.

When Guo Nu heard this, he couldn't get angry, but like a deflated ball, his body shrank...... made him even shorter, who was not tall.

The main lineup of the sixteen-man "Chinese team" is fixed and is not a secret. Although head coach Hao Dong has not yet announced the starting lineup for this afternoon game, fools know which eleven people will play.

Guo Nu has been playing as a substitute during the domestic training camp, and it is absolutely impossible for him to get the chance to start in this game, unless a miracle happens.

But Guo Nu doesn't believe in miracles, if there is really a miracle, can you make him grow ten centimeters taller first?

Like Guo Nu, it is impossible to hit the main force, and Zhou Yi, who is known as "the weakest of the sixteen".

So his sympathetic tone is definitely not pretending, he is really sympathetic to Guo Nu!

Two substitutes.

Compared with Guo Nu's bottomless and pure obscene daydreams, he also looked at He Ying in the photos of the superstar when he was a child on the wall, and the yearning in his eyes may be more real.

Just when Guo Nu was still sad and depressed because he couldn't play, He Ying was already a 100% sure main force, and as a striker, he was also the most likely person to make a big splash in the game and attract the attention of La Masia's youth coaches.

With his strength, if there is anyone in this "Chinese team" who is most likely to go to La Masia, it must be him.

※※※

The visit ended quickly, as it was just walking around a small two-story building.

The building, known as La Masia, includes a dining room, six bedrooms, a library, and a computer lab. Take a look at the flowers and flowers, and you will be able to read them in no time.

After all, this small building was originally used as a dormitory for echelon players, not as a training base complex, and the scale is naturally limited.

So in this sense, Zhou Yi's first impression of La Masia was not wrong.

It's really a place the size of a farmhouse.

After visiting La Masia, the young players went to the youth team's training ground.

Just across from this small building, after a gentle slope, is the training ground.

At this time, it was already half past four in the afternoon, and the sun hung in the western sky, and the sun was slanting down, casting a huge shadow on the training ground, occupying nearly half of the training ground.

The huge shadow came from an even larger building next to the training ground.

Everyone looks up at it, and this is the home of the world-famous Barcelona football team, the UEFA five-star certified Camp Nou!

Even though they've seen it just after getting out of the car, they can't help but look at it now.

This is the Camp Nou, its huge and majestic body, filling everyone's full vision, rushing towards you, so that you can't avoid it, only to accept the visual and spiritual impact it brings you.

This famous football stadium is only a dozen meters away from the training ground of La Masia Football School.

Garcia saw that everyone's eyes were drawn to the Camp Nou and said: "Our home stadium and training ground are so close to each other, which makes it easy for us to motivate the young players to look up at the stadium and get momentum. ”

Zhou Yi grabbed Guo Nu's shoulder next to him, and said to Guo Nu, who was looking up at Camp Nou with a pilgrimage expression: "Old Guo, it seems that you are not far from Camp Nou, just a big foot!"

Guo Nu was in no mood to joke with him, so he gave him a blank look and didn't say anything.

He continued to look at the Camp Nou, obviously in the shadows, but the face that looked a little anxious seemed to be able to bloom with holy light......

Zhou Yi saw him like this, and it was not easy to continue to joke with him.

Even people who are not optimistic about the whole world have the power to dream.

Regarding this, Zhou Yi probably has a deeper understanding than anyone else.
