The match against Liverpool's youth team was the last stop for Chinese football teenagers in the UK. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In England, they have had a very good result, with two wins, one draw and one defeat in four games.

"The Green Heir" also attracted much attention in China because of their outstanding performance, and the ratings began to rise.

In fact, 2008 was a dark year for Chinese football.

Last year, the Chinese national team was just eliminated from the group stage of the Asian Cup, which became a humiliating Asian Cup.

This year, in order to prepare for the Olympic Games held at home, the Football Association specially formulated a national Olympic strategy, and also sent the team to Germany for training, and the German coach led the team to play. The team was also made up of the same group of national youth teams that performed well at the World Youth Championships in the Netherlands in 2005, and there were high expectations.

For the sake of the Olympics, the Football Association even sacrificed the national team's World Cup qualifiers in South Africa, as if in their eyes, the World Cup is far less important than the Olympics they host at home - it is true, and in terms of political significance, the Beijing Olympics are indeed bigger than the South African World Cup.

So many things were sacrificed to ensure that the national Olympic team could have a good result in the Olympics.

As a result, at the Beijing Olympics, the national Olympic team won all three games and was eliminated at the bottom of the group.

Even more dissatisfying than being eliminated was the team's performance in the game, especially the game against Belgium, where the Chinese team simply lost and lost.

The disappointing performance of Chinese football has spawned a lot of jokes during the Olympics.

For example, Messi returned to the team after participating in the Beijing Olympics to show his teammates the latest cheering slogan he learned in China: "Football Association ****!"

The Olympic Games were eliminated, the World Cup qualifiers were also eliminated, and Chinese football suddenly seemed to have come to the end of the road, and for a long time in the future, the World Football Series has nothing to do with Chinese football.

It is in this context that "The Inheritor of Green" has made a high-profile expedition, and it is no wonder that it has attracted so many people's attention and criticism.

In fact, the program "Green Inheritor" was established very early, and at that time, neither the Chinese national team nor the Chinese Olympic team had yet failed in their respective fields.

They may be planning to use the gimmick of the national Olympic team participating in the Beijing Olympics to boost their own program.

Who would have thought that when the show officially started recording, the general environment of Chinese football would take a sharp turn for the worse.

In such a situation, the sixteen football teenagers, including Zhou Yi, are more like carrying the black pot for the entire Chinese football.

Fans and pseudo-fans vented their disappointment and anger with Chinese football, and even the dissatisfaction with their lives, on this group of innocent children.

This sentiment reached its peak after the team's 12-0 defeat to La Masia's youth team in their first match.

However, this team showed their difference in a very difficult environment - they were not knocked down by the scolding and pressure.

Starting with the match against Borussia Dortmund Youth, they gradually found the right path.

Only then did the audience realize that these children were different from what they thought were Chinese players, they did not completely collapse because of consecutive defeats, on the contrary, they also fought their way out of the encirclement!

The performance in the four games in the UK, everyone has seen it, and their improvement has been very noticeable.

It was a perfect end to the trip to the UK with a victory.

The performance of the young players has improved, and the ratings of the program have increased, which fully shows that in China, the influence of football is still very great. It's just that in the past, for various reasons, this influence was negative......

Now, finally, there are some positives.

With the anticipation of domestic audiences and fans, the Chinese teenagers bid farewell to Liverpool and flew from John Lennon Airport to Milan, Italy.

There is only one city in Italy, and the two matches are against the youth team of the two giants in Milan.

AC Milan Youth and Inter Milan Youth.

Because of the good results in the UK, the Chinese football teenagers are full of confidence, and they are not a problem with the youth team of Serie A clubs that seem to have declined.

But the reality is ......

They lost to the youth teams of AC Milan and Inter Milan.

Not only did they lose by the score, but on the field, they were also suppressed by the youth teams of the two Serie A giants.

Such an up-and-down performance is very much in line with the characteristics of the youth team's game, but why is it happening?

It is not convincing to simply blame the instability of the young players' form.

There are also many posts on the Internet discussing the performance of Chinese teenagers.

Some of the comments are quite to the point.

For example, a netizen named "Lin Hai Bird Man" wrote an article on the post bar of "Green Inheritor" to discuss the importance of Zhou Yi to this team.

In the article, he spent that the reason why the Chinese team lost both games, and the performance was average, was because Zhou Yi was very restrained by the tactics of the Italian team.

He analysed why the Chinese team had such a very different performance against the English and Italian teams.

He believes that this is related to the fact that the youth training of English teams is more focused on physical training, rough technical skills, and poor tactical awareness. The only English team that the Chinese teenagers lost to was Arsenal Youth, and Arsenal's youth philosophy is different from the last three.

It is not surprising that the Chinese teenagers, who have an advantage in technology and tactics, beat the English youth team with poor skills and backward tactical concepts.

But when you get to Italy, it's different. Italian players have been exposed to a variety of tactics from an early age, and their understanding of tactics is very high. In this regard, the Chinese team can't play the Italians. Coupled with the natural defensive skills of the Italian team, it is natural that the Chinese team will not be able to gnaw these two hard bones.

As for some people saying that the Serie A league is declining, Chinese teenagers should be able to beat them, and the netizen "Lin Hai Bird" also expressed his opposition.

He believes that the level of Serie A is the level of Serie A, which cannot be simply equated with the level of youth training in Italy.

The Premier League has always been the best football league in Europe, but their youth level is not flattering.

In addition, don't look at the Bundesliga now, it seems that it is the same as Serie A, almost no one cares about it, but the youth level of German football is really high. He also boldly predicted that the German national team would surely regain the title of international competition in less than a decade, either the World Cup or the European Championship.

It's really frustrating to lose two games in a row, and to lose two games when you were doing well before.

But what makes the Chinese young players even more depressed is that under such circumstances, they have returned to Barcelona, which is their sad place.

According to the program "Inheritors of Green", the European Challenge Tour is a circle that starts and ends in Barcelona.

Barcelona's youth team is the only team they will play twice.

This arrangement shows that the program team attaches great importance to and affirms the Barcelona youth training.

Of course, this is also in line with the theme of their program to focus on the cultivation of youth football talents.

Stepping on this land again made everyone sigh.

When they first came to Barcelona, they were filled with a vision of La Masia, which they thought was a football mecca. It's the best football club in the world, the best stars, the best youth system.

But after a game, the holy city is still the same holy city, but in the minds of the Chinese teenagers, the worship is much less, replaced by pain.

With 12 goals conceded in one game, they went round and round Europe, the worst game they ever lost, and the only one in which they conceded in double figures.

It was all given to them by Barcelona's youth team.

Even if they have beaten Chelsea's youth team, beaten Liverpool's youth team and drawn against Manchester United's youth team, it can't offset the pain caused by Barcelona's youth team.

When the plane arrived at Barcelona airport, the young players were generally silent. The city reminded them of the sad past two months ago.

After the plane came to a stop and the door opened, the young players silently packed their luggage and moved to the door with the flow of people.

The thought of facing Barcelona Youth again in another week...... Many people are still a little scared.

Especially after two consecutive defeats in Italy, this fear is mixed with a lack of confidence, which gives people an even more serious feeling.

But there are still people who are an exception.

Zhou Yi carried his schoolbag, he got out of the cabin, stood on the gangway, looked at the busy Barcelona airport, and suddenly shouted: "Barcelona! I'm Hu Hansan back again!!"

This voice startled Liang Qiqi, who was walking down the gangway in front, and almost stepped on the air and fell off the gangway, but fortunately his hand grabbed the gangway handrail in time, but he couldn't take care of the bag he was carrying, and tumbled from the gangway and fell to the ground, which attracted the attention of many people.

He didn't bother to look at his bag, but turned his head and glared at Zhou Yi angrily, but Zhou Yi didn't notice him at all, he was arguing with Sun Pan.

"What's the name of the ghost, I was almost scared by you, my legs were weak!" Sun Pan complained.

"Were you scared by me, or by the name Barcelona?" Zhou Yi asked rhetorically.

"Of course it's you!"

"Huh. ”

"Don't hehe!"

"Coca-cae. ”

"Drink water when you're thirsty!"

"Sun Pan, Zhou Yi is taking it apart and saying it......" Yang Muge reminded his roommate.

Sun Pan was stunned when he heard Yang Muge's words, as if he had been caught in magic, and froze there, thinking about what this meant.

Zhou Yi sighed when he saw Sun Pan's death: "Sun Pan, I don't believe you when you finish the nine-year compulsory education, your resume is fake, right?"

The teammates who were watching the excitement on the side laughed when they saw this scene.

The previously somewhat oppressive and dreary atmosphere was swept away.

Of course, as for Liang Qiqi and his bag, it seems that they have been completely forgotten......
